Upgrade to el capitan is the way course?

MY last update to yosemite was a total puzzle. I lost my bootcamp partition and was able to recover with the help of solitaire. Im a little hesitant to upgrade to el capitan, I really want to repeat the same steps. Is it possible to make sure I update in a safe way? Thanks for any advice.

If we did the recovery correctly and properly, you should have no problem with the upgrade. I still recommend a good backup of OS X and Windows (separate readers) if possible. Also, please create a Windows system restore point.

If you do not really need features to El Capitan, I'd say staying on Yosemite, if it is stable and functional.

    would appreciate an answer from people already have the upgrade.problems with the same configuration? slower?

    FWIW, the El Capitan applications are no different from Yosemite. In fact, it is easier on resources in some areas. The main thing you need to worry is to make sure the software and equipment to use is compatible. Make sure you have a good backup in case you change your mind and want to downgrade.

  • I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  When I opened the Photos, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been published in iPhoto.  This never happened in iPhoto.  How can I fix?

    I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

  • Can I still upgrade to El Capitan for free?  He says is not available on the App Store!

    Hello

    Less than 2 months ago El Capitan was available as a free update.  Today, when I'm ready to upgrade - it is no longer available on the App Store.  What is going on?  Where can I find it?

    The App Store has only Sierra, but it is not compatible with Snow Leopard, so I can't update that is.

    Hello nancy milano,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:

  • MacBook Pro has started to randomly stop when it is on battery since the upgrade to El Capitan

    I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2011) which works very well on the Mountain Lion for a long time. I finally got round to upgrading to El Capitan last week: directly to 10.11.6. A few days later he just powered down without warning while I was working. He was so very well for a few days, but then made several times in the last 48 hours.

    I am moderately sure it happens only when it is on battery (it did not in the past hours 8 while that plugged). Whenever it happens, that there is no warning and the Mac then fine restarts (manually) - Although the clock resets always in 1970 until he can contact an NTP server. One of the curious side effects is that my PostScript fonts were blank on the screen in Excel for a few reboots yesterday but then OK once again!

    No hardware has changed. Major software change is only El Capitan and possibly an iStat Menus update.

    I have reset PRAM and SMC. I ran the short AHT. I disassembled the machine and clean the fans. they were OK, but the problem seems to occur when the Mac is hot.

    Spotlight and Time Machine sometimes seemed to be struggling for the upgrade, and I also saw rpcsvchost with 100% of a core for a while. The machine feels sometimes slow - but for the last 8 hours, it was very good. The only model that I put in place, is that it seems to occur only on battery; It's even happened then that the Dock (etc.) were loading after logging in after an unexpected shutdown.

    The other thing common is in the newspapers every time:

    Cause of previous stop:-128

    I scanned a number of related posts to aspects of it, but do not look at who blames El Capitan rather than material. Yet, many people reported this kind of problem after the upgrade... Coincidence?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Cause of previous stop:-128

    A negative stop code generally indicates a hardware failure. Have the Apple to assess your Mac. The fix may be as simple as a spare battery.

  • My address book contacts have disappeared since the upgrade to El Capitan. Where are they?

    Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and all the contacts in my address book Thunderbird disappeared. The AddressBook is completely empty. In addition, he didn't even address on the left hand books, for example "personal address book" etc. My contacts are stored on my computer? If so, where they are located and how can I get back to my address book? I've been adding contacts for a few years. When I compose email, email addresses are auto-fill in the field of composition, so it seems they are still out there? Thank you.
