Solve problems by reinstalling El Capitan?

I have some problems minor but annoying and persistent I want to fix it. One is that by clicking on the red dot at the top left of the window does not close the window, as it should. I have to click on the point, and then click the window underneath. Only after the second click done to close the window. The other thing I may not notice the fault of my computer. It's just that I have trouble opening multiple Web sites or pages of the site. What is normal, I can't say. All I can say is that this situation has not always existed.

I used Onyx and disk utility in an effort to find and fix the problem, but that did not help. Now I'm wondering if it might help to reinstall El Capitan. I also want to know if, in doing so, I could run into unexpected problems.

Have you used the Mac a long time after your last installation of 0? That you have upgraded to El Capitan, Yosemite or Maverick?

Maybe it's time to backup your data and do a clean and fresh installation... If not, perhaps it is little and known bugs...

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • Obtaining of S.M.A.R.T. error when you try to reinstall El Capitan

    Bought end of 2012

    Model: iMac 21,5 "

    Version: 10.11.4

    OS El Capitan

    Recently, I deleted the data on my hard drive in the hope of "reset" of the computer to its factory settings. Clear data wasn't a problem, but the reinstallation of the operating system has become a challenge. The computer is not very old, and it has worked very well before erasing the hard drive. But now, when I reinstall El Capitan, I get an error message that says: "this disc a S.M.A.R.T. errors. This drive has a hardware problem that is not repairable. Backup of data as much as possible and replace the drive. »

    I feel like the error message is incorrect because it appears only now after I erased the hard drive... I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience, and what tips or tricks you could give? Thank you very much.

    Why don't you have confidence the message?

    SMART is a system of industry standards designed to predict hard drive failure. SMART errors can be triggered at any time, indicate that the player is under-performing and will probably fail soon.

    It is not related to erase you the drive - the chances are that the INTELLIGENT warning appeared quickly when you use the drive normally. It * is * possible that a full erase of drives insisted on the drive that has highlighted (perhaps even accelerated) the problem, but it would have occurred as soon as look at it and the warning should be taken seriously - the drive is likely to fail quickly.

  • How can I reinstall El Capitan?

    I'm really impressed by Sierra to date.  He made my Mac just as slow as a 2000 pre.  I want to reinstall El Capitan.  How can I do this? I have an iMac 21 inch end 2013 model.  Memory is 8 GB 1600 mHz.

    You will need to wipe your hard drive and can then restore your backup that you made before the upgrade. You use recovery to wipe and restore.

  • Can I reinstall El Capitan after beta installation Sierra

    I was wondering if I can reinstall El Capitan after installing the beta OS Sierra 10.12. I couldn't access my backup Time Machine of my El Capitan on my Western Digital My Book Live HD full boot disk after you have entered the name and PW. I have a critical mission (Fujitsu S1500M) scanner that doesn't seem to work with Sierra.

    Read the ad at the top of the page and click the link; It contains the instructions from Apple on how to restore your previous system (in the FAQ).

    In short: you have to wipe your drive and reinstall the previous operating system using recovery and/or backup. You did a backup, haven't you?

    And, for the record, other than to help him get back to your old system, related beta cannot be discussed the issues here because they would violate your NDA and terms of use here.
