Updated the more options El Capitan

I use 10.6.8 and upgrade to install new applications.  El Capitan has terrible reviews.  Y at - it another option?

All versions of Mac OS X received terrible reviews. This is no different. More absurd is written to sell items and magazines. And, each posting in these forums has a problem. Millions of users without problems do not post it here. Here are your options.

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

3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

My applications are compatible?

See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

Upgrade to Lion

If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

Lion system requirements

1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

or Xeon processor

2. 2 GB of memory

3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

4. 7 GB of available space

5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

  • lost the external monitor feature: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M video card needs to update the driver in El Capitan?

    Hello
    Apparently Apple no longer supports the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB and did not update the driver in the operating system to account for its recent update Linux (below)? What is a macbook pro user to do? I know my MBPro is now 5 years - but with an i5 and 8 GB of RAM I think I shouldn't need to take immediately for new?
    Running any video seems to disrupt communication between my Vizio E240AR and MBPro - El Capitan OS (with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB).  Power cycling the monitor and then force the MBP via a modification of the resolutions seems to temporarily improve the issue - until I have run video or insist on graphics card memory.

  • Have you the more recent update of Adobe removed the option Save As Image?

    Maybe I'm missing, but I was able to save a PDF as an image in Adobe Acrobat pro. The program updated the other day (maybe it's the update of DC?) and now I do not see the option to save an image.  This feature has been removed, or is it just located somewhere else?

    Check if you are still under Acrobat Pro - that it has not transformed into Acrobat Reader for example.

  • I really enjoyed having the option 'Save and exit' when I closed my browser, but since I updated Firefox this option is no longer available for me. How can I get that back?

    I currently have Firefox 4.0.1.

    Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.

    • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead, it will automatically save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:

      1. by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
      2. type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."
      3. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit
    • Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.

    To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

    1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
    3. Open the preferences/list page
    4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
      • browser.warnOnQuit
      • browser.warnOnRestart
      • browser.showQuitWarning
    7. See:

    Things to check if the tabs are not saved:

    1. Browsing history must be saved

      • Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
      • Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
    2. Also, make sure that you do not erase "Browsing history" when you use clear recent history or when Firefox is closed
      • Using clear recent history

        • Button Firefox: Firefox button > history > clear recent history
        • Menu bar: Tools > clear recent history
      • When Firefox is closed
    3. Make sure that you are not in private browsing mode or in private browsing mode permanent:
    4. If you have the Tab Mix Plus extension, and then clear the built-in session restore.

  • Update the functions of Safari missing after last El Capitan

    I just downloaded the latest update via the AppStore for El Capitan and now Safari sticks to the search the web box and I can't open the additional search pages.  I already got a basic word for a web search via the search rather than a full web address box, but now it works more either and I wonder what is wrong with the last update of the software of Apple to El Capitan.  Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    In addition, I can not erase a web address and enter a new web address, I need to close Safari and then re - open, totally screwed!

    Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

    I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

    I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

    My guess is there a bug in the software of sleep in El Capitan, which disrupts his (I've tried different USB ports connect the Audioengine sender and same thing).

    Should I go back to Yosemite?

  • Windows installed the automatic windows update agent and I would appreciate help with the settings option in this newly installed agent update so no update never install or download unless I choose to do.

    Hello.

    I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.

    Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226

    I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.

    With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.

    I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.

    Below chose correctly when the new program installed today.  That's how I still want the settings to be:

    Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install

    Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.

    There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.

    Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.

    Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.

    Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)

    Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.

    Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)

    Allow all users to use installed on this pc.

    Option 3:
    (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.)  If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)

    Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows

    Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).

    See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Take care! :)

    Hello

    The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.

    1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.

    2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.

    3. it will let you know when they become available.

    4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.

    Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

  • Install RAC 11 GR 2 and apply the patches with the new Option of software updates YES

    Anyone tried the installation with the new Option of software updates?

    I'm going to install grid RAC 11 GR 2 and I intend to do the following steps:
    (1) install the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 patch group
    (2) make all configurations with YES
    (3) create ASM disks
    (4) install Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 software only
    (5) apply recommended patches 11.2.0.2.2 Oracle (12311357) and 12431716. (Ref. MOS doc [756671.1 ID])
    (6) create the RAC (advanced option) with DBCA database

    With these steps:
    Grid and ASM disks would be configured without the recommended patches, but the database will be created with applied patches.

    I would not do a "Software only" install IM and then apply the patches because later I would have to manually do all the configuration steps.

    If I use the Option of YES software updates to apply patches, YES makes the adjustment, and then I would set up the GRID with YES?

    Quote from Oracle® Setup Guide Network Infrastructure 11 g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux - E17212 number of part-11:
    'Use the feature of dynamic download and apply software upgrades of software updates as part of the installation of the Oracle database. You can also download updates separately using the downloadUpdates option and later to apply during installation by providing the location where updates. »

    I could not find more detailed information on this feature in the documentation and MOS.
