should I upgrade to yosemite el capitan before

I am running Cougar and upgrade to el capitan but should I go to yosemite and mavericks then first? Is it still an option? I'm not find mavericks or yosemite on the apple site.

Thank you

If you did not previously 'buy' Mavericks or Yosemite since the Mac App Store, then those who are not the same options. They are no longer available.

Just go directly to El - Cap.

Make sure you have a good backup and check your applications to ensure compatibility with El - Cap before you pull the trigger.

    If you download above Yosemite from the Mac App Store, go to a physical Apple store and ask.

    If you have done so, log in to the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID and click the purchases tab.

  • Should I upgrade my MacBook Pro 17 "2011 at El Capitan?

    Unfortunately, I was one of those who have upgraded to Yosemite when it came out. It affected my logic board and is part of this recall, apple does a year since last February. All has been well. I was wondering if there was some known issues with one of the users who may have upgraded to El Capitan? Thank you for your response.

    I have a 17 "2011 MBP with El Capitan installed without any reported problems.  I have 16 GB of RAM installed and a Crucial SSD 1 TB.

    Understand that the only time where we MUST install a more recent OSX really is if there are applications that need it.  Other wise, it is an option.  That said, I've read some suggesting that El Capitan might be more effective than Yosemite.  I have no reason to say that.

    Ciao.

    Yes, it is better to update the old Mac EC.

    Make sure that you back up the old Mac before the upgrade.

  • 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.

  • Major Outlook and timing of the problems after the upgrade of the El Capitan

    On the advice of the Apple support (phone call) I recently upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I have many problems. The two largest are (1) stands (2016) Outlook and frequently "must be closed; (2) calendars quickly goes to "not responding" after the launch and shows multiple entries for a single event. Example: I have a class to repeat each week (when I was in Yosemite). Before the upgrade, he showed the event once a week. After the upgrade, it it shows 13452 times the same day. I followed the advice on these topics, but nothing has worked. Similarly the calendars on my iPhone5 freezes as well.

    Hello Steve,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I have a problem with your MacBook Air use after update is not what you expect. Based on what you said, it seems you can experience some software related issues, and here's how I recommend refine you and resolve these issues:

    1. first of all, try to run a quick with the disk utility tool test, as this can correct simple problems that you encounter. Then restart normally and retest your problems.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory. Test mode safe questions, then restart normally and test again.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. you can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    See you soon!
