Problem installation el captain on Macbook air mid-2011

Hello

I have a Macbook air mid-2011 running 10.10.5 2 GB memory and 64 GB of storage that seems filled with "other" most

I tried to upgrade to el Captain but did not to enough disk space to install it then stopped the download.

I have since created more space on the computer, but now to the upgrade of the software, he said 10.10 is already downloaded.

However, I can find a way to find the download file to complete the installation.

Please help if you can.

Thank you

You will find your original download in the purchase page of the App Store. Will need you about 20 GB to download and install El Capitan. You will also need about 4 GB of RAM, so I suggest the RAM upgrade if you can. You can visit OWC to know what options allowing the upgrade of RAM and disk space since you really don't have enough.

  • MacBook Air Mid 2011 Wifi only next to the Airport Express

    Hey everybody!

    These days I have trouble with one of my MacBook Air. I plug a new as my girlfriend needs a job.

    Anyway. I have updated to OS X El Capitan and struggle with the wifi. I made an appointment at the Genius Bar closest to you to solve the problems in the system.

    As I had to download the OS X on my Mac Pro, I had a problem with the wifi these permissions switch and system information. If you scroll to the installation, there should be a list of installed software. In my case nothing.

    After that the genius of Apple erased the disk and started the installation via ethernet with an Apple Server, I got a new version of OS X El Capitan on it. Everything appears fine (system information).

    The Wifi worked perfectly in the store.

    So, I got not any chance to try at home immediately. Today, I wanted to put the macbook for other facilities. I noticed that the wifi is extremely slow.

    I deleted the cache (which does not yet exist). I have reset the starting power setting. I have reset my Airport express from Apple. I changed the DNS to google DNS (8.8.8.8./8.8.4.4.). I too turned off bluetooth.

    All without any modification.

    BUT if I'm right in front of the apple express (literally sitting on the router), the wifi works without any problem.

    Please, I beg you! I have no idea what to do next. My other Mac Air and pro work perfectly. Any distance. (They have been disabled for testing). iPhone, iPad and Apple TV work fine.

    I seem to have this problem with my MacBook, a model of early 2015. What I was told is that the Wi - Fi antenna is nested in the compartment of the screen, located on the edge, practising thus pressure deforms it. Because the body is made of aluminum, the body involuntarily also acts as an antenna, interfere with the Wi - Fi signal. Here are the two plausible reasons why sometimes the signal is lost or slows down, and it made perfect sense to me.

    Maybe it's the issue here. If that's the case then I would attribute that to the misconception. I'm sure you can get it fixed, although I don't know how you would seeing that Apple seems to weld their new machines stop.

  • Fan Controll Macbook Air mid 2009

    How can Hi I adjust the fans to market at a lower temperature Macbook Air mid-2009.

    I know that video playback makes the hot computer. I'd like set the fans to turn on at a temperature lower, without having to download a few app controll or software.

    Be well theres a way.

    Thank you

    No, sorry. The fan profile is pre-programmed and are not adjustable in OS X user. The only option would be to reset the system management controller, but which was designed to solve the fans 'stuck' at great speed among other things.

  • MacBook Air mid 2012 - SSD failure but now normal work?

    I have a macbook air mid-2012, it worked very well but had no veen used for about 2 months. I had installed osx el capitan and the car was completely empty except for the new facility. I start the computer normally, but after I tried to launch safari, computer froze and the screen went black, but the mouse was still there. I turn off the cpu using the power button, but when I rebooted I had the flashing icon. I tried to boot into recovery mode, wouldn't work not and went straight to the restoration of the internet. Using the internet recovery mode I tried to go and repair the hard drive, but it was not visible, I tried to install a new copy of Mac OS x, but it wasn't visible to install with HDD. I took the macbook air to an authorized repair center and the macbook started showing a circle with a bar slash through it like a Tux no sign, no flashing icon of the folder. They ran diagnostics and told that the DSS did not. The price of replacemwnt was more that the laptop was worth (almost $700)

    I went home upset, but now this morning I correct start-up of the laptop and he gave me a sign of Apple with a gray loading bar theb started normal. I weaves in disk utility to perform the audit of diagnosis on the ssd and it came back as everything was ok.

    What could happen? Why it quit working but now work ok? I need to give this phone a friend for a gift but cannot do so if the ssd will soon Miss. Should I jist cough a little money and get a replacement hard drive and install it myself because this ssd is going bad? Its a 256 GB ssd and it kills me...

    Thank you!

    It's only a guess, but there may be a connection that is defective and sometimes disconnect the SSD drive.

    Ciao.

  • How can I connect two screens for MacBook Air (mid-2012)

    I have a macbook air (mid-2012) which, according to apple, can support two external displays.  I have an external display connected to the thunderbolt port, but may not know how to connect to the other?  The mac has only a thunderbolt port?  It has two usb ports.  Is there a thunderbolt display port separator that works with this Apple?  When I look on amazon I see some who make the separation, but they say that they do not work with the Mac?  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

    You can daisy chain a thunderbolt cable from the first screen to a second screen to support both with port of a sudden lightning. Reported here.

  • installation of Win7 on Macbook Air with bootcamp

    Hello

    I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Air without success.  I have partitioned the disk by following the instructions and I have a connected flash drive.  I downloaded the iso file using my product key for MS without problems.

    The iso file is: / users/myname/Downloads/Win7_HomePrem_SP1_English_x64 (1) .iso

    When I click to create the image file on the flash drive, I get the following error message:

    Your Bootable USB Drive could not be created

    Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    Its possible the ISO file is corrupted, try to download another copy and try again.

  • Fan runs almost always since the installation of Sierra and MacBook Air running Mac OS.

    Hello

    Since upgrading to Mac OS Sierra last night on my MacBook Air (2013, i7, 8gbRAM), fans work almost always, even when I use Safari.  Previously, the fans would go only when I was playing a game, or video edition.  The basis of my Macbook Air is also much more hot he was under El Capitan - once again, just when you use Safari.  As a result, my battery life is horrible - dropped from 100% to 23% in a little over an hour.  Once again, under El Capitan, if I was just using internet, use of an hour would see the maximum of 10 to 15% of decline in battery.

    I turned off my Macbook Air and it turned on again after fifteen minutes, but in 10-15 minutes, fans revived upward and the base (and the top of the keyboard) heated again.  No uncomfortable levels, but certainly noticeable levels.

    Just to remind - I use Safari only when this happens.  Moreover, since the beginning of this question five minutes ago, the % of battery has dropped from 29 percent to 22 percent and the fans are still whirring like the dickens.

    No idea why this is happening?

  • Office 2016 on MacBook Air (mid-2013)

    I'm new to Mac and bought a MacBook Air 11 "(mi-2013)"

    I'm considering now the office 2016 but the specs on office.com said requirment is 4 GB of RAM, which is what I have.

    Office 2016 will be slow if I have several windows open?

    I work usually with up to sessions of the word/PP and a bit of Internet.

    If your Air of 2013 has 4 GB of RAM, then consider that OS X El Capitan will need this amount for any reasonable performance for himself. If you try to open multiple desktop applications 2016 simultaneous with several tabs of the browser, your Air will begin to swap memory on the disk to host, and your Air considerably slows down.

    You will need to show restraint on what simultaneous applications are launched, and it will be more limited than what you expect.

    An Air of 11 inches will help for the screen space with all open applications without the use of an external monitor.
