Why can't I update my mid-2011 Macbook Air at El Capitan?

I find that I am short of problems with the performance because I'm unable to update things like Safari because the latest version is not compatible with my operating system. Is it possible to upgrade my Macbook Air on OS X 10.7.5 mid-2011?

Yes, it is possible.

You can install OS X El Capitan 10.11.

  • Why can't I just turn off my macbook air in the menu Apple?

    So, last night, I update my software, and after that, when I try to shut down my computer, looks like it stops, but the Finder is as it freezes and does not respond. I'm so off manually with the switch. What can I do to fix this? I've tried starting, and he works during boot, but I restarted and open it again, it comes back to the original problem.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Step 1

    For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes).

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now, clear the search box to display all messages. Select those recorded before starting, during the time that something unusual was happening. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    For example, if the system is unresponsive or unable to stop for three minutes before you forced a reboot, post the timestamped messages within three minutes before the start time, not after. Please include the message BOOT_TIME at the end of the extract from newspaper - not at the beginning.

    If there is a long series of messages, please post only one example of each. Do not post of many repetitions of the same message.

    When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Step 2

    In the Console window, select

    DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ System

    (not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu bar.

    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the process crashed and ends with ".crash". A report of panic has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends with ".panic." A report of stall stop has a name ending with ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot. It is possible that none of these reports exist.

    I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway.

    If you don't see any report, but you know, there was a crash or panic, you can have selected diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.

    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "

    Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.

    When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    This panic was not caused by a third-party software. If the problem recurs, the possibilities are:

    1. A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    2. A damaged OS x installation
    3. A flaw in a device, if applicable
    4. Corrupt the nonvolatile memory (NVRAM)
    5. Internal hardware failure (including incompatible memory)
    6. Obscure bug in OS X

    You can already have excluded some of them.

    Rule # 1 by starting in safe mode , then restart as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion drive or a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    You can exclude #2 and #3 in reinstalling the operating system and tests with non-essential devices disconnected and removed aftermarket expansion cards, if any. Sometimes a clean reinstall may solve a problem which is not resolved by reinstalling in place.

    Corrupt the PRAM, which causes panic from time to time, may be excluded in resetting it.

    If your model has replaceable memory by the user and you have upgraded modules of memory, reinstall the original memory and see if there is any improvement. Make sure not to touch the Gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Spare memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.

    Apple diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, as generally unreliable, sometimes detects a fault. A negative test may not be depended on. Run the long version of the test, if necessary.

    More than a screen connected is another trigger for OS X bugs reported.

    In the category of obscure bugs, damage the data on a file server, such as a Time Capsule backup - can sometimes trigger a panic. If necessary, remove all the network devices and see if the panic stop. If you use Time Machine, disable it temporarily in its preference pane.

    Otherwise, an appointment of 'Genius' in an Apple Store, or switch to a different service provider authorized to have the tested machine. You may need to leave for several days. He is not much of interest to do this, unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens quite often that he is likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise, you can be said that everything is fine.

    Print the first page of the report panic and take it with you.

  • Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

    Thank you very much.

    Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

    SD / HD makes no difference.

    You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

    Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

    No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

    Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

    Yes.

    Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

    Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

  • Update from mid-2011 to 2015 21.5 "iMac?

    Hi all

    I am running an iMac 21.5 mid-2011 "(fiche ci-dessous) and I'm curious to know if it's worth the upgrade for the 2015 model 21.5" (chart below). I'm not a gamer and use it for office / video conferencing / music & photos. Grateful for any advice and particularly as I don't understand the difference between the 2 processors.

    I see much of a performance increase?

    12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    AMD Radeon HD 6770 M 512 MB

    Thank you

    There will be a performance difference. No one can say if the difference is worth to you. The main thing is one is going on 5 years which is more likely to fail in the next few years to a new.

  • Why can't I update my Airport extreme Firmware?

    Why can I update my Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd generation) Firmware?

    He keeps asking me to put in my password once I've done without end.

    If I forgot the right one, where can I find the right pair?

    Keychain Access (password of the show) is without help. It is to show that it took me several times!

    Thank you for your time and patience,

    W.W.

    Unfortunately, your message you can think that you only have a single password for AirPort Extreme, when you have two, and maybe three.

    (1) wireless network Password... used to connect wireless devices to your wireless network

    (2) basic password Station... a device password used to access the settings in AirPort Extreme AirPort utility so that you can make changes to the configuration of the airport and install the new firmware updates

    (3) disk password... an option that can be configured to require that a password can be entered to access the data on a hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme. Most users use the password for the Base Station for this.

    You think maybe the wireless password when enter you the AirPort Utility?  If you are, you must enter the password for the Base Station. If you forgot, you can recover it from keychain access, everything as you got the password wireless.  Looking for a list of AirPort Base Station password.

    Buy a drive flash memory or if you need a storage more consider purchasing a USB hard drive. If you need a low-profile option, you can use an SD card but transfer speeds will be slower.
