Updated 2008 iMac to El Capitan
I'm under 10.8.5, with processor 2.4 GHz Core Duo and 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory.
I use my iMac 2008 primarily for mac mail and google. It will work well with El Capitan?
# 2 GB of RAM, it is barely enough to load the OS X. Upgrade RAM up your machine to be held. Despite this, you'll be pushing account bound to the CPU that is in it. You can make it work, more or less, but it's really time to upgrade your hardware soon.

iTunes on my 2008 iMac won't work.
When I try to open iTunes on my 2008 iMac, it opens for 1 second then closes the window and the program. Should I maybe just consider to Apple?
Your profile suggests that you are always under Snow Leopard, which was released more than six years ago.
I suggest that you upgrade to the latest version of OS X (El Capitan, OS X 10.11.3).) Then you will be able to run the latest version of iTunes (12.3.2), which cannot be run on Snow Leopard.

Yes, your MacBook accepts two RAM sticks of 4 GB, 8 GB total, you'd better update the firmware Version MB51.007D.B03.

After evolution Imac to El Capitan, cannot send documents Pages
Upgrade Imac to El Capitan. Now problems with the e-mail documents Pages. When I try to send a document Pages, I get this message: "failed to create an attachment to the message. iWork has encountered an error during the attmepting to create the attachment data. "When I try to open a Pages document received as an attachment to email, I get this message:"'___.pages' could not be opened. The index.xml file required is missing. »
I'd appreciate any help.
Pages ' 09 has lost its ability to send by mail in the menu share after update to Yosemite (El Capitan). Victim of progress.
Pages ' 09 uses an internal index.xml file and any spread of Pages v5 does not, because it's a completely different and incompatible document format. If you receive a document v5 as an attachment Pages and try to open it with Pages ' 09, you get this dialog on a file index.xml file is missing.
If you have Pages v5, then use it to open this attachment, otherwise you will have to ask the sender export to the format of document Pages ' 09 and who sent you. Because of the disparity of the characteristics, the export process to the ' 09 Pages may omit some features of document Pages v5.

I deleted programs meeting CS5, rebooted and tried to load again from the disk of Acrobat 9 Pro. After dragging the applications icon, I got this: ' the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" cannot be read or written. ". (Error code - 36) »
Updated his computer at El Capitan my wife and charge of Java SE 6, and his CS5 still works. What can be done in my case? Thanks to all in advance!
Download from a backup will not work.
You must install it.
https://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/CS5-product-downloads.html
But CS5 wil cause a lot of errors on El Capitan.
They simply are not (fully) compatible.
Just search for it on the forum, you will find a lot of threads.

I use LR 3 updated my IMac to EL captain and my camera is a Nikon D700. Before the update I plug my camera and LR 3 would download images. After update taken behind closed doors and he goes to the photo on the IMac not in LR 3. CARISA
Hi carisap,.
Photos soft is the default on Mac El Capitan photo editor application and you should disable auto import in App photo so that you can directly import your raw images in Lightroom.
See the instructions in this article to disable the automatic import of Photos App: How to stop Photos opening automatically on Mac OS X when iPhone or camera connects
Kind regards

Updated the Imac to my wife to OS10. Had difficulties in obtaining the post to work. Once I got it work keep changing to the old password. We go to the system setting and correct the password for Internet. Then, we go to the accounts and correct password. The mail has been working for about 24 hours. Now she can not sent and passwords will not be at rest.
What is happening with this Apple! I use to be able to count on everything works correctly without a bounch of workarounds. You're quick soaking in the quality of Microsoft.
DDoes this works if you use the customer web email providers?
