• What happens when I restore my El Capitan mac to factory settings?

  I currently have El Capitan and wanted to reinstall my Windows partition because I needed more space, but after deleting the partition and to set up the new partitions, I came across some problems during the installation of windows, in which he said that the drive was GPT partition or something like that. I've lost 3 days trying different solutions in various sites, including this and have yet to make it work so I decided to just restore my Mac for its original OS and reinstall my Windows then just upgrade to El Capitan again.

  My questions are:

  1. it would be the first time that I do this, but from what I've read and watched, what are the exact steps to restore my mac to its factory settings?

  a. restart the Mac.

  b. hold the cmd + r

  c. Select utility disk under the window utility for OS X

  d. Select the partition (Macintosh HD)

  e. clear it for OS X (journaled)

  f. utility disc close

  g. click on reinstall OS X under OS X utility window

  h. click on continue

  i. choose my drive

  j. click on install

  2. what would be the OS X installed on my newly formatted partition? Would it still El Capitan (my current operating system before formatting) or Mountain Lion (the operating system original on my Air mid-2013)?

  recovery of the Internet will reinstall the last interaction of the operating system that was available

  the air of 2013 came with 10.8.4 when he left, internet recovery restore 10.8.5

  No, you do not have an option to choose something else.

• A lot of problems after El Capitan then downgrade to Yosemite

  Hello, I'm on a MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2011), refurbished

  2.2 GHz Intel Core 17

  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  I have free out-f 859,48 GB 998,07 GB

  SATA drive

  (Barely) running on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5

  This is a refurbished MacBook Pro, I bought a little over a year he has absolutely no problem until I tried the update of El Capitan a week ago.

  First of all, the update took several hours during the night to download. He then took more than 14 hours to install. After completing the installation and reboot, the machine was apparently very well, but I had just surfed the web normally on Google Chrome.

  The next day, shortly after turning on the machine, through a much faster startup and logon process and begins again to surf the web via Chrome, everything went haywire. The MacBook froze, I had a gray screen, then he crashed and died.

  At this point, he refused to start as long as upward and rather stalled on the Apple logo screen white front. After I held down the power button to force it to turn off, wait a minute and turned off and on again, it starts only insofar as the logo screen of Apple with the progress bar and then hang. I tried to see if it would finally finish starting, no dice.

  LONG VERSION:

  I started to shoot trouble that all the typical El Capitan boot post fixed.

  1. it will not Mode safe mode by holding the shift button on the start menu to the top. I have no active FileVault. I don't remember if I have a password for the updated firmware.

  2. I was able to start it in recovery by using the command Mode + R while restarting - exactly ONCE. At that time, I used utilities and my external (passport for Mac) back to restore pre - El Capitan Yosemite. Still, things seemed good that night and I was able to use Chrome normally.

  3. the next day, the same problems started upward, however, now it is no longer will enter into Recovery Mode. Yet once again, I would be stuck on the logo screen white front, or stuck on logo screen, or sometimes it would start through and then hang on the white screen again.

  4. then, I tried to return the NVRAM on restart. This method sometimes works, sometimes not. Sometimes it again just hangs up on a part of the boot process.

  5. I booted into single user mode and went through a series of troubleshooting commands. Yet once, it worked - exactly ONCE. For a while, it will boot into single user mode, most of the time, but following the instructions of before no results will be given.

  6. I started in Restore Mode to Internet using the command + Option + r Repeat: it worked exactly ONCE. I was able to restore Yosemite 10.10.4, day 3, thought it was good, but no, crash, no initialization. None of the previous patches were working. Also, now command + R to start automatically in this mode and not in recovery mode. When the recovery of the Internet Mode ends, he hangs up on the white screen again and refuses to start.

  I am more able to access Recovery Mode to use the utilities to erase the disc.

  7. after resetting the SMC (Ctrl + Shift + option + command while holding the power button) AND the NVRAM, I am able to boot the computer and enter the Finder utilities and run the disc utilities. I ran all the permissions of the drive, I fixed all the permissions, I fixed the drive. On several occasions. Same things, I do much more than surf the web and it crashes. No startup. No Recovery Mode. Recovery mode Internet hangs up. Single User Mode is not given result. Also, I can no longer erase MacIntosh HD.

  8. I use Time Machine to restore to my last backup. No dice. Same deal, as all of the above.

  9. Finally, it does not restart after resetting the SMC and NVRAM again. I then upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.4 to 10.10.5. Now, I continue to have the same problems as above, but I can run is no longer Google Chrome or Spotify. With two apps, I get an immediate error message indicating "Chrome/Spotify has unexpectedly" until something starts at all.

  10. I removed Chrome and tried to reinstall, same problem.

  SHORT VERSION:

  1. I've updated to El Capitan and the other day my MacBook Pro started to break and turn off, and then refuses to restart.

  2. I have followed all directions on Apple's Support forums including attempt to boot mode without failure (fail). I could enter in Recovery Mode and restore an earlier version back up only ONCE. Now, it will restart is no longer into Recovery Mode.

  3. I followed the instructions to start in single user Mode. It worked exactly ONCE.

  4. I ran first aid utility disk and check/repair permissions and repair the disk several times. The problems persist.

  5. I started in Internet Recovery Mode. It worked exactly ONCE, and now instead of normal Mode recover DΘmarrer to cmd + R, it goes right to the recovery of Internet Mode. Once that ends, it hangs indefinitely on the white screen, then sometimes it will go to a totally black screen indefinitely or close again.

  6. I used the reset of the MSC and the NVRAM and managed to start completely. Then I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.5 and lost my Chrome and Spotify. The MacBook continues to crash and stop randomly. Of the SMC + NVRAM reset seems to help with the start-up, but the crash then using that anything but Safari continues and reinstall still leads Chrome an instant "Chrome has unexpectedly" error message before it even begins.

  The Mac came to me with Yosemite already installed and I have no disc to install it after a clean cloth. I am able to surf the web, and that's mostly it.

  10.10 is saved on one archive, available from a backup Time Machine or in your App store purchases, there is no legal way to get more.

  If you have disks that came with the computer as it is prior to recovery of the internet you can retrieve for that OS, but you are limited to the upgrade of the operating system in your App Store account. If you do not have this option is strictly 10.11.6

• 1440 p monitor recognized as 1080 p over HDMI

  I've updated to Sierra yesterday, and now my ASUS PB278 displays 1080 p instead of its native 1440 p over HDMI. This monitor has worked flawlessly with El Capitan and Yosemite on HDMI.

  I also tried to connect more love at first sight with an HDMI adapter and that no longer works.

  Anyone else having this problem?

  Well Yes. Exactly the same problem you described. In light of this + problems with drivers for my Performance MX Logitech mouse (restless as hell scroll), immediately restored to El Capitan.

  Will be held off the coast of the upgrade until this issue is resolved.

• import iTunes library

  I installed clean El Capitan Yosemite previous deletion which I backup on external drive.

  I had hundreds of free songs which I had imported into iTunes, how to restore these El Capitan iTunes songs?

  Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

  When it's to a new computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look for what it y.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

  Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

• restoration of time Snow Leopard machine on el capitan

  My iMac is toast. I have a MacBook Pro, dated but supported for El Capitan. I want to spend all my El Capitan Time machine, including the operating system for the MacBook Pro. Instructions to do this involve booting from a recovery partition, or an equivalent of the internet. But the Snow Leopard operating system does not support these approaches. How to boot in order to restore?

  I discovered recently, after trying to start my El Capitan Macbook Pro to an ext hdd than Snow Leopard snow leopard anything or not can not read the disc El Capitan. However, the reverse is ok.

  The best thing I think would be to reinstall the time Machine back to El Capitan, then do a manual brake and fall back to the top of your data to another drive before installation installation of Snow Leopard then drag and drop your files backed up to your new snow Leopard.

  It is because (if I remember correctly), time machine back ups are difficult to navigate. I always use Carbon Copy Cloner as it makes a bootable copy of my drive and you can easily access your files if you plug it in as an ext hdd.

  You only really need to back up your home folder and make sure that your keychain files and the browser are stored, and then reinstall all your applications. Maybe a little harder if you have a lot of paid applications.

  That's what I'd do, but maybe someone else has a better idea.

• Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.

  Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

  Hi there, alicefrompa!

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

  You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

  From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

  If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

  1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
  2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
  3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

• Restore iTunes after the recovery of the El Capitan of Time Machine OS

  So, I installed El Capitan.  And Safari does not work... so I made the recovery of TM to previous operating system (10.11.5).  Fixed my problem Safari but not iTunes (this copy of iTunes is damaged or is not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42037)) Cannot remove iTunes icon and impossible to reinstall iTunes.

  I used the Machine time 'recover all'... but it does not give me 100% snapshot/restored the machine... just a previous BONE restored.  Ideas?

  It's maybe just me, but I thought has retrieve anything using TM would give me a machine 'duplicate' of the past to be fully functional.

  Thanks in advance!  See you soon

• Restore Aperture library in El Capitan

  I just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.4 10.9.x

  All my photos were paintstakingly organized at the opening of records for years, events and stages of life.

  I noticed that Aperture is no longer available in my app list - so my first question is, can I restore somehow Aperture?

  Secondly, I made the mistake of "redevelopment" of my opening book for use in pictures, thinking that all my hard work organizing would be preserved. Instead, all my files are missing, and the photos are now simply sorted by date.

  I tried to use Time Capsule to locate the original Aperture library but can't seem to find it. If I can find it, is there a way for me to restore this library (assuming that I can restore somehow Aperture)?

  Thank you!

  Only opening 3.6 runs on El Capitan.

  You should be able to update to this version by reinstalling the opening history of purchases on the app Store.  The "Updates" tab work is no longer at the opening.  See this tip for users: update to Aperture 3.6 after the release of Photos

  Secondly, I made the mistake of "redevelopment" of my opening book for use in pictures, thinking that all my hard work organizing would be preserved. Instead, all my files are missing, and the photos are now simply sorted by date.

  When you migrate an Aperture for the pictures library, the original Aperture library will still work with an opening. Photos just change the file name extension to ", migratedaplibrary".  Change the ".aplibrary" file name extension, and then double-click it to open it in Aperture

  If you have deleted the original Aperture library, you should be able to restore from your backup Time Machine. Open the 'Images' folder and with in the Finder and with that file open Finder window before entering Time Machine.  Go back, until you see your Aperture library in the pictures folder.

  Select it, then click on the button "restore".

• Restore specific files of Time Machine on El Capitan

  Hello

  I want to restore specific files from a Time Machine after then reinstalling OS.

  In Time Machine that only highlight the buttons front and rear back 1 week and the sidebar, but it develops, is RED and is unclickable. I can find files by searching for them but I want to restore all of my documents and specific applications to try to remember all is not practical. The sidebar being red means it's inaccessible and if not, how can I access content on specific date, the function used to work in Yosemite and back ups I'm looking are El Capitan so don't know why I can't access it. Thank you.

  Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

  If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

  The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

  The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

  Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

  The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

  Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

  Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

• File restore from Time Machine Yosemite to El Capitan

  I need to restore a single file from a Time Machine backup of Yosemite to my new iMac El Capitan.  The file in question has been saved from a Mac Pro from 2008 to a Time Capsule.  I put Time Machine in the dock and right clicked on it, so I could navigate "Other Time Machine disks" and I am able to see the Mac Pro to backup, then select it.  However when loading the backup, it's for my new iMac and not for the Mac Pro.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Hi jt

  To be honest, the easiest is to go through the Finder. Navigate to the document you want and copy. Then simply paste it where you want.

  The finder will allow you to see all of the back-ups no matter the OS at the time.

  Hope this helps, Greg
