Upgrade: Yosemite or El captain

I have a MacBook Pro.  The processor is: Intel Core 2 Duo, CPU speed: 2.4 GHz, number of processors: 1

Total number of cores: 2, L2 Cache Memory: 3 MB, memory: 4 GB.  Right now I am running! 0.6.8 should I go to Yosemite or El captain.  (I read about a lot of problems with the captain of El).  Thank you!

If you need to update is 100% up to you. However do not forget 10.6.8 has no more security updates and also more you wait, the harder it will be if you use older applications which can be reached at the end of their useful life or supported.

  • I've updated to Snow Leopard for OSX El Capitan as the info said that my Mac 2009 could be updated.  However, I had a lot of problems and it is extremely slow, among other things.  Should I have upgraded Yosemite or something else first?

    I have a 2009 IMac and had Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and IPhotos, latest version.  While he was trying to use something new, I wanted to download (can't remember what now) my system said that I had to switch to OSX El Capitan, so I did.  Since then, I've had nothing but problems, the computer is very slow to open anything and Photos is terrible - I can't do anything with it and I hate it!  I much preferred IPhotos.  My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?  If so, what can I do now to remedy the situation?  Thanks for any advice.

    My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?

    No, but you must have insured all the software you have installed, changes to the system, in particular, was compatible with El Capitan.

    You can use iPhoto, but you should get used to the Photos like iPhoto will be is more up-to-date and may stop working at some point.

    If you run this program, it will show what is installed. After the output here and we might be able to offer advice on what's causing your problems

    You could refer to the answer in wire Re: install Creative Cloud Desktop, but I got error 13 a question permission on my MacBookPro, why?

  • Help on upgrading 10.7.5 El captain in MS Office and other possible issues

    Hello!

    I have a Mac Book Pro December 2011, OS X 10.7.5. I struggled with the implementation of php and many other issues and have been repeatedly invited to improve my OS. As a newbie in CS, I frankly scared - it's the only computer I have, and I can't lose/break/brick/etc, because I won't be able to fix any serious problem at the moment, not until I know what's best. But I'm really tired of losing time because of low productivity, constant freezing and other issues; and also feel ashamed bothers people on forums like this one, only because I have an obsolete system and lack of appropriate knowledge (the latest is not shameful because I learn, but the first can be really annoying for people who help me).

    Please, help me with this question:

    (1) is it safe to upgrade directly to el Captain 10.7.5?

    (2) If Yes on first, what are the possible problems that may arise and what should I do to avoid problems?

    (3) should I reinstall MS Office to upgrade the OS? This is crucial for me because I found out that I have to buy new MS Office, as Microsoft staff informed me. This isn't really the best money for me at the moment.

    Thank you very much for your help and your understanding!

  • IPhoto 9.2.3 on Snow Leopard and direct upgrade to El captain

    Hi guys,.

    I'm under iPhoto 9.2.3 on Snow Leopard and want to move to El captain.

    I have read that I need iPhoto 9.6.1 until I upgrade to El Captain so I still want to use iPhoto.

    Problem is that 9.2.3 is the latest available version of iPhoto on Snow Leopard, so I'm stuck here somehow.

    I had a quick glance under the items purchased on the app store, but since my iLife came with a DVD and therefore not bought for download, I guess it will never reveal under the items purchased.

    So I also assume that as soon as I upgrade to El Captain, iPhoto does not open and I won't be able to update iPhoto to 9.6.1

    Does anyone have an idea on how I could always upgrade level to El captain and stick to iPhoto?

    Thank you!

    A member of the family has iPhoto installed 9.6.1, so they could install it for you on your Mac?

    Otherwise, you can refresh only with the help of the Support App Store, but they are very reluctant to help if iPhoto has not been purchased on the App Store.

    One way to continue to work with iPhoto would be to create a clone your mac to an external drive bootable and boot into snow leopard since the external hard drive, if you wish to continue using iPhoto.

    But in the long run, switch to Photos for Mac.  Apple improves Photos for Mac with each update of the system.  iPhoto is becoming less and less supported. Maps and locations are no longer supported in iPhoto 9.4.3 or earlier, Apple is more does not support printing for iPhoto projects, latest applications can appear more the iPhoto library in the media browser.

  • Since the upgrade to El Capitan, my Mac is VERY slow.

  • Update for Snow Leopard to El captain? Should I do it? (Loss of iphoto organization a big concentration)

    I have an imac of all about 2010 with 2.93 GHz and intel Core i7.  I've been under Snow Leopard since day 1! I've been reluctant to upgrade because of the reviews on the new OS every year and now I'm way behind, but snow leopard ran flawlessly for me so why I kept for so long, but I think I should take the step now.  One of my BIGGEST concerns is to lose iphoto (I've arranged in folders and albums, and I don't want to lose this Organization!). Has anyone taken this step to upgrade this old operating system? I'm even able to upgrade directly to El captain in Snow Leopard? And how will this affect my organization "iphoto" penetrating "photos"? Any info or links or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    You will find bad reviews on all OS for each platform, because you can't please everyone.

    Yes, you can go directly to El Capitan, as long as you have Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    You don't have to use Photos, you can continue to use iPhoto, as long as you have version 9.6.1.

    You should always make a backup before doing any update most of the OS.

  • Can I install Airdrop on my iMac 2009?

    I am trying to upgrade my OSX 10.5.8 on my iMac9, 1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have installers for Yosemite and El Captain on my MacBook Pro, but I can't find a way to get them to the older iMac. It's current OSX is not supported by Dropbox, the file is too large for e-mail, even when condensed, and I don't have a CD that is large enough. Airdrop can be installed on my iMac and who would do the trick?

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Catherine

    Your iMac does support AirDrop.

    To update to OS X, you will need to do it in steps. First of all, on your iMac using Software Update in the  menu. This should take you to OS X 10.6.8 who will install the Mac App Store application. Once this is done, launch and use the screen more compatible fo updates updates.

  • Photos I take on my i phone will not load on my IMac

    Equipment.

    I have Mac

    Version OS X El Captain 10.11.3 iMac

    (21.5 inch end 2013) 2.7 GHz processor Intel Cor i5. 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory

    I phone 5.  iOS version 9.2.1

    Problem:

    Photos of my Phone i load pictures on my iPad but not my iMac.

    In the iPhone, iCloud, iPad and iMac, the settings is enabled. I have 183 GB available in iCloud. in iCloud on iPhone storage says 0 bytes available, although when I open it, the total storage bed 200 GB total storage, of which 183 GB is available. in 'Manage' iCloud Photos it says using 15 GB. I have 6399 photos and videos of 35. Why don't the pictures that I take with my iPhone and iPad transfer Photos in my iMac when they transfer freely to my iPad and vice versa. My girlfriend has an iMac and iPad and its transfer pictures almost immediately. All its iPad and iMac iCloud and pictures settings are the same as mine. We both pay for extra storage iCloud. We have read some of the forums on similar problems and tried switching all the streaming and the new, but this did not help.  My Photos of iMac is Version 1.3 (350.23.0). It says at the bottom of the screen 15 099 photos, 21 videos download 17 194 points (14.77 45,34 GB GB). It's it's every day and no new pictures don't always appear in my Photos on my iMac.  It used to work ok last year - has been very slow, but now, nothing seems to be the case this year. I upgraded from Yosemite to El captain.

    Can someone please.

    LLA will go against everything apple believes in but download google photo on your phone and it will automatically download all the photos to free storage unlimited photo, you then have the option to delete all pictures from your phone and without a space. When you sign in to google on your mac, your photos will be ready for you. The only downside of this app, it won't recognize PHOTOS the iphone 6 s LIVE. Also you will need a Google email use

  • Best OS for mid 2009 MBP

    Hello

    I have 13 "environment 2009 running 10.6.8 MBP. I don't had not updated the operating system far as I feared that the performance will go down because it has 2 GB of RAM.

    However, it has now reached a level where its just become painful to use the system, so I'm planning the next upgrade:

    1 out to 8 GB of RAM max

    2 swap on optical drive for 250 GB SSD for the OS and keep the old 160 GB hard drive.

    I'm not sure that exceeds with upgrade what operating system will be better suited for my MBP? I had intended to put the Mavericks as I heard both Yosemite and El Captain will not work it smooth on an older version of the macbook pro. I would be really grateful if anyone can advice that will be the best OS? I mostly use my laptop computer for word processing and e-mail and yes the light room 4.

    Also, should I swap the optical drive for the new SSD or the old HDD? (My optical drive does not in all cases). I earlier had intended to get 500GB SSD but then decided to go for 250 and save money as I have 1 TB external hard drive I use since I'm working on several machines, most of the time.

    Other advice or point I should keep in mind during the upgrade?

    Thank you very much
