upgrade to el capitan recommendations or info links?

I have a mac air and a mac pro and plans to upgrade them both to el capitan.

I don't want to do if I'm having a steep learning curve or if I create problems I did not currently.

However, I want to solve problems, I like questions of Queens with pages documents (that I will not spend time studying to solve) and a terrible problem with Mail on my air mac where I basically can't use the application because it is not updated of new messages in any coherent way and at the time wanted (for example more recent mail on the laptop is April 16).

Thank you for any advice or links etc.

One solution is to create a new partition (~ 30-50 GB), install the new OS, and 'test' it. Otherwise as/like it, you can then remove the partition. Make a backup before doing anything. By doing this, if you don't like it you don't go well the recovery process.

Check to make sure that your applications are compatible.

(2) application compatibility

Information on the compatibility of 10.11 El Capitan

Open utility disk, select your hard drive (step 1), then the partition (step 2) tab and select the partition. Using of the / / / to the low blow it upwards (step 3) until the box the size decreases by about 50 GB. Select the newly created space and press the button (step 4). Name it something and choose Mac OS extended (journaled) format (step 5). Then click on the button apply (step 6). Download the installation program from the App Store and when it starts, point it to the new partition. You can make a copy of the installer out of the Applications folder to avoid having to re - download in the future. One time installed, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new partition and restart. Test now.

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

  • MacBook Pro a mess (maybe after upgrading to El Capitan)

    I need help in desperate mode.  I tried to implement everything that I know and I now return to the pros.    I have a Macbook Pro mid-2012.  The computer is still very well without any problems.   After about 3-4 weeks after the upgrade to El Capitan, I started to have problems.   I'm not sure it's related, so I don't want to blame the new version, but wanted to mention.

    The problems began with suddenly a series of cruise lines up and down my screen in vertical columns.  The computer would then closed and when I started it again, I would get three consecutive beeps.   After searching for the reason for this, I found that it was probably a RAM problem and saw messages recommending to turn on and remove two cards of memory RAM.  This would help the lines/beeps etc, but the beach ball began to spin all the time.     I ran a scan of material and everything checked, including the RAM.   I feel upgrade my RAM anyway (we stock 4 GB), so I buy new RAM and upgraded to 16 GB.   Unfortunately, this did not help to remove the rotation beach ball.   It runs the same as before, but the delay/spin isn't as long as it was before.  Seems that upgrading RAM reduces the time of "spin".

    Since the upgrade, I reset memory PRAM/NVRAM, recommended in this forum.  Did not help.   Then I booted the computer in Mode safe and also reset the SMC.   None worked.

    Then, I started in HD recovery using the command-R and repair the hard disk and permissions using first aid option in disk utility.   Nothing has changed.  Always turn the ball and beach closing my apps suddenly by itself.  The machine will be restart as suddenly about once a day for a reason any.

    The amazing thing is that the beach ball turns constantly and at the same time my activity monitor says I have 90% of free CPU while my reel becomes crazy.

    The next step on the list that I saw on the forum is to reinstall OS X.   I did not this again, because my Time Machine hangs and won't give me a recent backup.   I'm religious about backing up (about every 2-3 weeks) and my normal backups take about 30 minutes (usually leave it all night in stopping in bed).  Since this problem started, the Time Machine backup "preparedness Back Up Now" never of leaves.  I left overnight (8 hours) and still stuck in the preparation of backup mode.   I've even left for a total of 24 hours and nothing.   The only new information I have to save may not be more than 3 or 4 GBs top (just emails and documents (photos and videos are on the external drive), while certainly something will not.)

    Now that you have the story, what should I do?    I don't want to reinstall an OS X cool unless I have to, without a current backup.   This isn't the end of the world, but I would like to have the e-mails and documents that have been organized and classified over the last 2 months.

    I've seen enough of few people displaying the results of EtreCheck and to be lucky with this, so here are the results.  I don't know how to properly analyze it, but looks like I need a larger Time Machine backup drive.

    (Its the same thing I've always used, so don't know why all of a sudden it stopped allowing me to save.)   I remember that Time Machine used to give an opinion on the size of the disk when it is too small, and I got that.)

    Thank you all in advance for the help!

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Preferably system errors after upgrading to El Capitan

    After the upgrade to El Capitan, I can't connect to all the apps to icloud.  Had errors when you first install my computer after the upgrade to the new operating system, so I opted out of it then.  I went into System Preferences, and there is no freeze that system preferences.  This also happens when I click on 'Security and privacy' and 'Parental control' (these are the only elements when I tested all components).  I tried safe restart and that did not work.  I have also tried in a guest account and have no problem in the guest account.  This account is extremely slow and freezes more than the guest account.  This is the part that I'm stuck in (I tried to go through other threads, but have no luck with their recommendations).  Here is a copy of the console messages that I get when I click on the iCloude pane in system preferences:

  • Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

    I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

    My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

    In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

    Thank you

    Have you tried these steps: update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

    There is a link on this site in order to download the installer from El Capitan of App store.

  • I've been upgraded to El Capitan and electricity went off and stopped the session.  I don't have time to continue for 12 hours.  It is the CV.  How can I cancel until I have more time?

    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:

    See you soon!

  • After that upgrade to El Capitan about this Mac does not work"

    After the upgrade to El Capitan by clicking on about this Mac, nothing happens and by double clicking on System profiler I get the error message from the Application "System information" cannot be opened.  I ran disk utility, tried in safe mode and as a guest and all user are the same.

    It is a late 2008 MacBook.  It's on 10.5.8.  I did a clean install of 10.6.3 with upgrades to 10.6.8 to give birth to El Capitan.  According to me, that he was working at that time.  Then, I migrated the user of a backup image of the 10.5.8 account. Who could have when it stopped, but I'm not sure.

    Hello mrtrytofixit,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to be able to rely on public services provides your Mac and I want to help you get things working again. With troubleshooting, you have already done, it seems that it is a systemic problem.

    From there, what I recommend is reinstall OS X El Capitan using OS X Recovery on your Mac. It should not remove or erasure of your data, but it is recommended that you make backup before you do incase of an emergency.

    These articles will guide you through the backup and reinstallation:

  • Printing problems since upgrading to El Capitan

    Two weeks ago, that I've upgraded to El Capitan. Since then I was able to print from Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Office programs. I use my Macbook for business purposes, and there is downtime with my work on this issue. This has nothing to do with printer drivers that I can't print to PDF either.

    I've used nothing helps Apple telephone support. I went to an Apple genius bar and they could not understand either. They have wiped my phone, and then I went home and restored the time upward from the standby machine. The problem was still there. So I uninstalled Microsoft office (last resort recommended by technician at the genius bar) and reinstalled. The problem is still there, and worse yet the Outlook is freezing. I rang a repairer of random computer company this morning specializing in Macs. They said they couldn't help me because they would only do what I've done. My Macbook Pro is just a few years, and now I'm looking down the barrel of the purchase of a new laptop - all because I upgraded to El Capitan!

  • No longer recognizes my Seagate Expansion drive after upgrade to El Capitan

    I upgraded this morning to El Capitan. Before that in so doing, I took care of my backup Crashplan was full then removed all of my external drives. I have three following readers:

    (1) Seagate 2 TB portable backup more (for important storage images/documents/videos so I can work between home and College)

    (2) Office of more than Seagate 3TO backup drive (for part of my Crashplan backup - I also backup to Crashplan central in the cloud)

    (3) Seagate to 5 Expansion Drive (to store old files, which are now copied on the 2 TB drive now, and I have not used this drive in age anyway)

    Note: nothing is really stored on my Mac hard drive, I keep almost free and save memory for the app

    As all the files in the disk of 5 TB are now on my 2 TB drive, and is in turn supported up to 3 TB drive using Crashplan, it's now redundant, I wanted to wait that I upgraded to El Capitan to format the disk of 5 TB, so it is compatible with Time Machine and make another backup and Crashplan.

    But after that I've upgraded to El Capitan, I plugged it all readers of my back in and adopted the new HD in Crashplan (as their FAQ instruct). Except that only 2 of the 3 discs are now recognized. The 2 TB and 3 TB drives appear fine, but the 5 TB drive appear not at all.

    What can I do to resolve this and get the drive to be recognized? Or just Apple cost me €160 with this upgrade?

    The drive appears in the disk utility?

  • Upgrade to El Capitan and Win10

    Hello

    I have an iMac that has Yosemite and Windows 7. I use Parallels desktop 9. (But the windows partition is loaded through bootcamp)

    I get the message that windows free 10 ends soon.

    So I think upgrade to El Capitan and Windows 10.

    So I had to buy Parallels 11 to use the two new operating systems. (because 9 does not work with either)

    Here are the steps I take to do all three upgrades? I want to assure you that I am not missing something (steps):

    1. put on level 9 to 11 parallels

    2. upgrade to El Capitan

    3. connect via bootcamp and upgrade to Windows 7 to 10

    4. restart Windows mac and link 10 partition in parallels.

    Upgrades of the OS are big and not easily reversed, so I don't want to make a mistake.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Avoid errors or problems with the updates of the first execution of a bootable backup of what you have that works. I suggest the following:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the Command and R keys until appears the Menu Utility.

    1. Select utility disk in the main menu and then press the continue button.

    2. Select the destination volume in the list on the left.

    3. click on the tab restore in the main window of disk utility.

    4. Select the destination volume in the left list and then drag it to the Destination field.

    5. Select the volume of the source of the list on the left and drag it to the Source input field.

    6. check understood you, and then click Restore.

    Destination designates the external backup drive. Source means that the boot disk internal.

    Regarding the Parallels just upgrade the software and verify that your Windows system still works. You cannot proceed with the upgrade of OS X. Look this first: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    You can update Windows from Parallels. It is useless to try to boot from the installation of Boot Camp. In addition, you must first remove some components of Parallels on your Windows system to start independently.

  • I'll always be able to run the opening after upgrade to El Capitan?

    I want to install Office 2016 on my MacBook Pro which is running 10.9.5 - it asks me to upgrade to El Capitan. I'm afraid that Aperture will not work more.

    On El Capitan, you need opening 3.6.  You are currently running opening 3.5.1 or an older version?

    Before you upgrade to el Capitan make a full time Machine backup of you system so that you can return to the Mavericks, if need to be.  (see: OS X El Capitan: revert to a previous version of OS X)

    And check if you are able to update to 3.6 opening.  Check before upgrade you to El Capitan.

    • Open the App Store and sing in your account in the Store with your AppleID menu.
    • The fourth "shopping" tab  Figure opening it to your purchase history?  If so, you can update opening 3.6, once you have upgraded to El Capitan.  If the opening is absent from your purchase history, you will only be able to update with the help of the PapSTore supported.

    See this user Tip: update to Aperture 3.6 after the release of Photos

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-8402

    3.6 the opening is the latest version of Aperture and the only one to run on El Capitan.

    There are more and more questions with an opening. Opening 3.6 is running on El Capitan, but keep accumulating the minor bugs.

    • When brushing the adjustments, the position may be a bit off, a pixel or so.
    • The thumbnails in the list view are backwards.  Re: opening and El Capitan OSX
    • If you add a curves adjustment, adjustment to straighten will be not visible in the exported images. See: right
    • The link to the plug-ins page work is no longer in the opening menu, but it's the same for all versions.

    And you can order are no longer produced printouts of Aperture. Apple has stopped completely, the support for Aperture print products in any version of Aperture.

  • Attack of the kernel after upgrading to El Capitan

    I need help and fashionable of despair. I get an error Kernel attack (such as published in full below) and can rule out a hardware malfunction. My situation is unique in the sense that I had a MacBook 2011 Pro - I upgraded to El Capitan and began to get the kernel attacks every twenty minutes or more. I ended up doing a restore of my Time Machine backup (which was of Yosemite), and the problem stopped. The interesting thing is that the time machine backup, while in Yosemite, never came back save El Capitan.

    I bought a new MacBook Pro from Apple and restored my backup time computer machine and then upgraded to El Capitan backup, as he showed in my remarkable applications. Although less frequent, the attacks returned core. I got on the phone with Apple and we did a cover of the OSX drive on two of my computers. I get still kernel tackles. It's very frustrating and any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.4 and now Android File Transfer no longer works

    I just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.4 and now Android File Transfer does not work. Does anyone else have this problem?

    http://trendblog.NET/Android-file-transfer-not-working/

    and this alternative

    https://www.iSkysoft.com/phone-transfer/Android-file-transfer-for-Mac.html

    the result is if Apple broke it is the Android dev team to fix it-not just but it of how Apple rolls and won't budge on that, it's same in their EULA, section o. in the case where you think that they be unfair and wish to continue.

  • Upgrade to El Capitan - 'Contacts' are empty, 'Calendar' is empty

    Upgrade to El Capitan - 'Contacts' are empty, 'Calendar' is empty.

    Already running OS X 10.8.5. Used storage iCloud. Do not use the iPhone or the Apple tablets.

    My memory, when I upgraded to El Capitan, I did not allow iCloud for Contacts or calendars. I thought this would upgrade find my old account information and data files on my HARD drive and shoot those in the new version of Mac applications.

    After upgrade, I opened system preferences > iCloud - - Photos, Mail, Contacts, calendars, reminders were all deselected - seems right.

    Then I opened the request for calendars, preferences > tab accounts - there is a seizure of the iCloud accounts and gmail accounts entry - nothing is activated. I have selected my gmail account in preferences of calendars and enabled - voila, the linked google calendar entries appeared on my calendar from Apple. But I still have no entries that have been set up on my Mac only calendar.

    I assume that the old data are still on my system. If this isn't the case, I have backups. Can I simply find the data files and import them into the Contacts and calendar?

    Thank you

    Go to www.icloud.com and see if the calendars and the missing contacts are there.
