Should I switch to OSX El Capitan?
Hello
I am not questioning if I should move to El Capitan or not. I read the reviews on the Mac App Store, and most seem to say it is a great improvement to the Yosemite, only I'm not either on Yosemite. Currently, I am on OSX 10.9.5, the computer is slow to open applications and at startup. This is my computer information:
I'm afraid El Capitan will just make my computer run slower and kill it, or it will be a great improvement.
So I decided to ask the people who know these things.
Pass or not?
Thank you.
My MBP has similar specs.
I upgraded the RAM 8 GB.
I have OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 installed on it.
I have not experienced any problem so far.

< image edited by host to remove the serial number >
The Mac is perfectly capable of running 10.11.4 El Capitan without problems.
You can clone your system on an external drive and crash on him in case you do not like the new operating system. In this case, you will be able to clean the internal drive and clone the original in back.

I have a 2009 IMac and had Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and IPhotos, latest version. While he was trying to use something new, I wanted to download (can't remember what now) my system said that I had to switch to OSX El Capitan, so I did. Since then, I've had nothing but problems, the computer is very slow to open anything and Photos is terrible - I can't do anything with it and I hate it! I much preferred IPhotos. My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan? If so, what can I do now to remedy the situation? Thanks for any advice.
My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?
No, but you must have insured all the software you have installed, changes to the system, in particular, was compatible with El Capitan.
You can use iPhoto, but you should get used to the Photos like iPhoto will be is more up-to-date and may stop working at some point.
If you run this program, it will show what is installed. After the output here and we might be able to offer advice on what's causing your problems

Should it be iMovie 10.1 and I have OSX El Capitan 10.11.3
Hello community!
I try to get iMovie 10.1 of the App Store, but what comes is the version 8.0.6. I have OSX El Capitan 10.11.3. In "System requirements" it is said that iMovie 10.1 works with Maverick, but does that mean that it works only with Maverick or also with systems above Maverick? In any case, I can't iMovie 10.1 and I wonder if everyone in the community knows what to do. I have a Mac Pro.

You must purchase a new version of iMovie.

How to convert pictures from iPhoto? I need general info and advice. I saw the help info but I am very nervous to take on this project, as my library is huge (95GB), organized in several events and albums. My library is saved (Time Machine SimpleSave HD). I am running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6 on iMac.
Have you seen this document? Updated Photos for OS X - Apple iPhoto support
https://support.Apple.com/en-GB/HT204655
Is your iPhoto Library Library on your system drive in the pictures folder? And you have a lot of free space on your system drive? The migration will need additional temporary storage.
Then drag the iPhoto library icon pictures open to create a new library of Photos of her.
Your albums appear unchanged in the Photos. Events will appear as additional albums, because the pictures has no events. See this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

You just bought a new IMAC. It came with OSX El Capitan 10.11.1. I used Time Machine to restore all my data and information. All deferred fine, and all my software works very well. EXCEPT FIREFOX - Version 42.0. He hangs up with a white screen at startup. Sometimes it starts and Yahoo my home screen appears, but does not recognize my mouse and does not take into account my mouse click on everything. Sometimes (rarely) Firefox start. Unfortunately, if I get out, the next time I'm daydreaming, the same white screen, etc.
I tried to restore Firefox as it is stated on their support site, but still have the same problem. Any suggestions?Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the < shift >
(Mac = Options) key and then from Firefox. Is always the problem? -
