Should I upgrade to ElCapitan Mavericks or stay where I am?

I have a laptop of 2012 with the Mavericks. When I upgraded to the Mavericks my CanoScan 8600F does not work, but I found a software to make it work (with these tips). I'm afraid to go to ElCapitan, in case I have any other incompatibilities. Does anyone have an opinion on the question of whether it's OK to stay with the Mavericks, until I need to upgrade to a later operating system. Someone had no major problems after reclassification of Mavericks at ElCapitan?

Hi and thanks for posting. You should not have problems during the upgrade to OS X Mavericks for OS X El Capitan. However, make sure you have a backup of all files and data on your computer before you try to upgrade the operating system. If you do not have a backup, you can use integrated in the OS x application 'Time Machine' to make a. For more information about Time Machine, click on the link below. I've also included a link that gives you more information about the upgrade to OS X El Capitan.

I hope you find this information useful.

  • Unable to connect to Apple ID after upgrade to ElCapitan 10.11.5

    I have the Macbook Air 11 "1.4 Ghz i5 with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (early 2014)

    I can't connect to the Apple ID (iCloud, Appstore...) after upgrade in ElCapitan 10.11.5

    About 3 weeks ago I improve my OS in ElCapitan as there was a signal of the Appstore upgrade.

    The download process and the installation was successful, but stuck on 'prepare your mac' session. It took about 2 hours, with cursor processing... Then I closed (push the power button on the keyboard) and turn.

    My Mac can work and in "about this Mac" already made it known that the OS is ElCapitan 10.11.5.

    But unfortunately, since then, I can't sign my Apple ID in the Mac (I use several apple 'iphone', 'ipad' products and my apple ID still works)

    I came to the nearby authorized Apple service, they don't have that one solution to re - install my Mac and I have to pay

    Maybe someone has a solution...

    Hi atiqurrakhman,

    From the information provided, it appears that you are unable to connect to your Apple ID for several services on your Mac from your update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. I know it's very important to have access to these services on your Mac, then I would be happy to provide assistance.

    Before you start, I recommend that you create a backup of your data using Time Machine. This website will provide more information:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    Since the update seems stuck, it can not been installed properly on your system. The next step, I would recommend that you reinstall OS X from recovery using the steps here:

    How to reinstall OS X on your Mac - Apple Support

    Reinstall OS X from recovery

    If a recent Mac, you can use OS X Recovery to reinstall OS X.

    1. Turn on your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the command and R on your keyboard.
    3. Release the buttons after the appearance of the Apple logo.
    4. If you are prompted, select a Wi - Fi network, or connect your Mac to the Internet via an Ethernet cable.
    5. After that the recovery menu will appear, select the option to install OS X.
    6. Follow the prompts on the screen to select your destination drive and install OS X.

    Once this process is complete, try to sign in with your Apple ID using multiple services to see if the problem has been resolved.

    Have a great rest of your day!

  • A1396 iPad2 very slow 64 GB with 9.1 - should I upgrade to 9.3.1?

    Hey guys, I have an ipad 2 A1396 64 GB. I have almost 30 GB of free space, however lately my ipad is really slow.

    Should I upgrade to 9.3.1? This will make it faster? Is there anything I can do for my lucky ipad? a program to set or change?

    Thanks in advance...

    Each update, apple publishes intends to improve performance and efficiency to provide a better experience for their consumers, so in my opinion the upgrade would be better now to improve the performance my advice would be to close the applications that you do not use and restart from time to time to clear the immediate memory.

  • HP Pavilion m9200t... What should I upgrade?

    Should I upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit of Windows 7?

    Summer wrote: where can I get a DVD of Windows 7 upgrade?

    Hello summer, DVD of Windows 7 x 64 upgrade usually can be found in your local computer supply store.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system is delivered with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1.

    Here a link to Newegg where the operating system Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade can be found for USD $109.00 with free shipping. Free shipping usually takes about 7-10 days. You can choose faster shipping for an extra cost options.

    This Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade is a commercial version and comes with a free gift of Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2012 1 user license.

    When you insert the DVD into the optical drive and boot the system, you would be presented with the option in a few screens to perform an upgrade installation. You would select just a upgrade and installation will continue and complete.

    You should then have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 installed. If you want or need a more robust version, such as Windows 7 x 64 Pro or Ultimate, you can find these institutions, but they cost a bit more, and if you do not need the features of these versions, it would not be the extra cost.

    Whatever version you decide, you must put the enclosed certificate of authenticity (COA) on the system case and remove the Vista COA of the case. This could ensure that you are legal.

    You should also go to the Windows Update site after the upgrade and see if there are new updates for your system.

    I think it would be.

  • I have an iMac 2007 running osx 10.6, I would upgrade to the Mavericks.  I don't have an installation CD, how to accomplish this?

    I have an iMac 2007 mid running osx 10.6 with 4 GB of Ram. I want to upgrade to the Mavericks, 10.9. I don't have the installation CD and the App store only allow me to upgrade El Capitan. I'm afraid that this will bring my iMac to a crawl. Any thoughts on how I can find an installation CD or recommend other methods to achieve this?

    Thank you

    Larry

    Your model is eligible? You can install El Capitan now. There is no disk installer for use with OS X since the release of Snow Leopard. Why do you believe that El Capitan will bring your computer to a crawl, but the Mavericks will not?

    If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard, because it is more suitable for your old hardware. Note that Snow Leopard is needed in order to upgrade to Lion or later version.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard

    You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    After the installation of Snow Leopard you will need to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 update Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store lets you download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.

         General requirements for Snow Leopard

    1. equipped mac to an Intel processor

    2. the 1 GB memory

    3. 5 GB of available disk space

    4. DVD drive for installation

    5. some features require a compatible Internet service provider;

    charges may apply.

    6. some features require Apple iCloud services; fees and

    conditions apply.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

        Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

    Hello

    I wanted to know if I should upgrade to windows 10 or not.

    I checked my pc with the windows 10 application and he said that your computer meets all the requirements. But I wanted to know whether or not windows 10 is a stable operating system.

    When I bought my pc it ran Windows 8 and I have upgraded to windows 8.1. My pc has a few small problems since then.

    Most of them slipped, but there is a little. I have not found windows 8.1 as a stable OS, it has flaws and is not fluid.

    And if windows 10 is good, then tell me how should I update. I saw there are two types of upgrade. One is to you

    move all your files and software for windows a 10 and the other is that you start over completely. So what I should how and

    should I upgrade?

    @AA7,

    It normally takes a few months for an operating system to take the ist wake when dealing with hardware and software.

    Keep an eye on the support page for your laptop.  Then pass the drivers and software for windows 10 becomes listed.

    Thanks for the post and have a great day.

    You know it's a real shame that HP didn't advise people to do it before we upgraded. Now you admit that your drivers do not work with Windows 10. Bunch of idiots.

    You must install an update to the BIOS if it provides a fix for a specific problem, you may have or if it adds a feature that you need. None of these cases, it is best not to install the update.
