How To Download Macos El Capitan
Niki Wienberg
I updated to el capitan last night and have been trying every possible method to connect to the wifi. I have tried to reset network settings, tried to restart the router and my internet. I have not been able to connect to safari or chrome for more than 1-3 minutes after startup. I have a MacBook pro 2011 17" and an apple time capsule so it shouldn't be a compatibility issue. Also, I don't know if there is already a solution, so any help would be appreciated. It says I have Internet connection but can't actually log on to chrome or safari. Thanks
I have multiple internet devices on my multiple internet connections and none are experiencing trouble. I also installed iOS 9 on my iPhone 6 plua and I'm not having any wireless connectivity problems on this.
I managed to fix the problem by rebooting OSX with the option key held down (menu to select which disk to run from) and it brouht up a list of wifi connections, I selected my router, input the password and connected straightaway. Then slected my MBP hard drive and all been good since.
Was trying to instal el capitan on my macbook , the installation starts and after a few minutes stops and a messaging saying the os x could'nt be install on the computer, please contact the software editor to get help.
hi ,iv tried updating to el capitan and i seem to be stuck on the install screen ,every time i turn the computer off i can't seem to get many options,how do i get out of it to change the date so it will hopefully install,thanks
The only solution that worked was complicated and klutzy: 1. find a computer with installed MacOS 10.11. 2. Clone the other Mac's HD on a USB disk with CarbonCopyCloner, making sure the clone is bootable (include a working copy of CCC in the process). 3. Clone the USB disk with CCC to the Mac you're trying to upgrade. 4. erase the original user's data and put in your own info.
Apple's response to the problem was highly unsatisfactory. I called their support number (I live in Italy), a representative answered from Greece. I explained the problem, they gave me a telephone appointment for the next day, and never called back. Baaaad, guys.
If you allow the system to loose the date & time it will revert to the default setting that's in its ROM. At that point you won't be able to install the OS as the installer is expecting the certificate it has and the systems date to be equal or newer than its date (not expired, just predated the window it is valid for). The certificate has a window it is valid for (a start and end date) if the systems date is outside of this window you can encounter problems.
When that message appears, go under disk utilities, click "terminal," and once that pops up, type "date" and hit enter. The date will probably appear as incorrect (mine was set at the year 2000). Type date again and then type in the correct date in the format MMDDHHYYYY (month, day, hour, year) and hit enter. Then try installing again. It worked for me!
@Samari Curbelo - This is not the correct answer! But, its close! Apple messed up the certificates on the newer macOS releases Sierra to Mojave. If you are trying to install something older you do need to mess with the data setting! But its not putting it to today 2020 You need to back date to the time point the OS was released. So that could be back in 2011 for Lion!
I fixed it by setting the system clock in terminal to 12-31-2015 using terminal once it was stuck in its upgrade loop, which allowed it to continue despite its expired certificate in the upgrade image. It resync'd the clock back to the normal time during the upgrade process.
Yes, Apple messed up the certificates on the newer macOS's. Here's the full story you've got an old macOS install image, it will probably stop working today Apple often lets the certificates expire to prod people to newer versions and/or newer hardware. Here the patched OS's:
Courtney click on the date and time in your task bar.> open date & time preferences > unlock it > turn off the automatic Apple time > roll the date back to a couple for months after the installer date. Now do your install, then reset your date and time.
I did my back up on an external drive. Wasn't getting any beach ball before and I got the el capitan on the apple website. My computer worked completly well before trying the installation.. I doubt it's a hard drive/IR problem
If you have a friend with a Mac you could try connecting it to yours via a FireWire cable and put your system in Target Mode. That way you can salvage your important files just to be on the safe side here onto an external HD.
I keep getting errors, so I set the time and date to today..... or in 2015, 2016... still getting errors... o seconds remaining.... error try again.... driving me nuts, I made a new post regarding this Installing El Capitan on a stubborn 2008 MacBook in 2024 and I am still struggling.... help.
Dear colleagues,
I found that for:
language: r
os: osx
is unable to connect to -capitan/R-devel/R-devel-el-capitan-signed.pkg (because the file does not exist, only R-devel-el-capitan.pkg).
Is it possible to fix it somehow?
Many thanks

However, previous builds using r-devel on osx where working (e.g. here two months ago) when downloading R-devel-el-capitan-signed.pkg from research att. Now at -capitan/R-devel/ there exists a file called R-devel-el-capitan.pkg. Could this be just an issue of a name change?
Ok. So if it is better to avoid the combination osx and r-devel (unless there is some special need I guess), maybe it should be documented at -ci.com/user/languages/r/ for future users? Thank you again for clarifying the issue.
