el capitan

Hey guys, I had another thread going on a GPU replacement however I wanted to ask a slightly different question here. Since OS X Snow Leopard is the last OS to have Rosetta (enabling me to use many PowerPC application(s) and providing nostalgia), I would like to dual boot with El Capitan (latest...

Hi All So I managed to get the Apple Hardware Test running on my MacBookPro prior to taking it to my local Apple store for an appointment at the Apple genius bar tomorrow, but I wonder can someone help me interpret the reported results from the test please? The error code reported is...

After spending a couple of nights reading and trying out different suggestions, I'm hoping someone with more experience could help me shine a light on this please (This forum has been great helping me on the way but I have to admit I'm stuck now!) I bought a new MBP 11,5 (Retina, 15 inch, Mid...

It was the PCIleech problem (retrieving FileVault keys), that got fixed in 10.12.4. Looking at Apple’s website it looks like it was only fixed for Sierra and not El Cap?

I need to reinstall an OS onto a completely empty mid 2009 MBP. I can make the MBP a target disc from a Mac Mini with the El Cap installer on board but when I run it how do I direct the installation to the MBP rather than the Mini? Or is there a better strategy?

Hi, I'm a freelance video editor and I'm currently working on a production that uses FCP 7 (Yes... you read that right). I have FCP 7 on my early 2008 Mac Pro, but I bought a new iMac Pro earlier this year and would like to use it for this job. We all know that FCP 7 is now obsolete with High...

Hi guys, I'm facing a rather strange issue on my Mac Pro (2009, upgraded to the 5,1 firmware, if it makes a difference, running El Capitan 10.11.6). I recently added a hard drive coming from another mac inside it (actually, I cloned the drive from another mac running El Capitan, since the...

I did that and a hundred other things. Some of the font messages have disappeared, but I'm still getting a bunch of "TSplicedFont failed creating descriptor for..." messages. It is weird that log entries continue to scroll even after the failure "An error occurred while preparing the...

This is a general issue and gather all to one thread will be good for next releases. I upgraded to high sierra 10.13.5 from sierra 10.12.6 and immediately returned back to sierra cause of this issue. Im using my 2017 macbook pro w touchbar for home use and work presentations (interior and vector...

Nevermind I fixed it on another page, thanks!

So I have a GTX 670 and a mac pro 1,1 that I've flash to be a 2,1. I currently have a 8800gt in it and it's pretty decent in el capitan in terms of os performance but I would still like to upgrade to the 670 so it could perform better in games. Thing is I have two os x installations (10.11.6 and...

Noticed that Final Cut Pro 10.4 requires the latest OS. Not sure why this is enforced, but I'd rather stay on El Capitan as it has been solid with me. Has anybody attempted to use the latest Final Cut Pro on El Capitan and succeeded? Or does the new file system on High Sierra make this an...

Starts very simple. Mac Version of a game (basic .app file) Either saying The application * can’t be opened or it bounces in the dock and disappears immediately. This started on El Capitan. I tried to use Wine to run the windows version of the previously mentioned game using all the...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to upgrade from 10.11 to 10.11.6 without doing a fresh install on my mac pro 1,1. I have a lot of files and software and can't do a fresh install right now. How would I do this? Thank you!

Hello everyone, while I have seen similar posts in regards to installing a different Mac OS on an external hard drive, I haven't seen anywhere the specifics to what I'm trying to do and hopefully I can get the help in this forum. I am currently running El Capitan (10.11.6) OS in my Macbook Pro...

Hey all, am hoping this is the right place to be posting this. Have mainly posted about my various Minis here since the (still running) early 2009 model. In 2014 and 2015 I began hoarding the late 2012 era minis, picked up one new and a couple refurbs from Apple, quad-core i7s. I run a lot of...

Good morning everyone, I have tried to fix this once and got a lot of help from everyone over at reddit but alas, unfortunately, that got me nowhere. So I will run you through the chain of events that lead me here. My MacBook Pro 13'' late 2013 worked fine with Sierra. I updated it to High...

In icon view or list view if I go back(button or CMD+[), it lands on the previously viewed folder. I remember in Windows there is this option that took me directly to the enclosing folder with the item selected (just like CMD+ up arrow). Brief research shows that this was like that until El...

My macbook pro 15 video card is died so, i would like to use the ssd (el capitan) into my mac pro 1.1 (2006). What do i do? the idea is to boot on it and to start working. Do you think it's possible?

I have a 2012 Mac Mini and a 2013 MBA. I am currently running El Cap on my MBA but need to upgrade the OS on my Mini. I would like to keep them on the same version of macOS and will likely run it for the next year. I have found only one thread which indicated a loss of battery life for 2013...
