Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to have Google drive on Finder in El Capitan, or if I can have Google drive in VsCode
10 Things to Know
I'm sort of tired with the old boring design of El Capitan and I wanted to spice it up a bit. I started with dark mode but that's it and I still don't like the icons so does anyone have any idea on how to customise the icons of OS X (and even better) suggest some good icon sites?
Howdy,
I’m in the process of upgrading an older MacBook Pro to SSD. I created a bootable usb using the createinstallmedia command in terminal, and the system recognizes the usb as being bootable.
The problem is when I select it, the boot screen loads slowly to 100% (which I expect) but then stays forever stuck at 100%. I’ve even left it overnight with the same result.
Here's what I've tried to fix this:
None of these have been successful. I've been scouring the internet for a resolution to this problem, but I haven't found many similar situations. I feel like I'm at my wits' end for troubleshooting.
Thank you.
Don't want to upgrade to Sierra or El Capitan due to compatibility reasons
Thanks!

was able to add most of the format to reddit.com/r/LtFarns/ However I am currently struggling at getting the flairs and filters to display and work. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
Hi All,
I'm trying to transfer/backup about 330GB of photos from a Lacie 2TB drive to an empty WD 1TB.
Computer: Macbook Pro early 2011 OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
The Lacie 2TB is formatted OS X Extended (Journaled) The WD 1TB is formatted OS X Extended (Journaled) Both hard drives are set to "Read and Write" for all parties.
I get the "Error Code 36" message.
I ran dot_clean and got the following: "Bad Pathname: No such file or directory
Failed trying to change dir to .DocumentRevisions-V100
Bad Pathname: Permission denied
Failed trying to change dir to .TemporaryItems
Bad Pathname: Permission denied
Failed trying to change dir to .Trashes"
I have emptied Trash and ejected and re-inserted disks multiple times. What should I do?
My webcam (non usb) does not work, I already tried to kill the process "sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant" and "sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant" and it always says that there was no process found, even looking for them manually and get no results. El Capitan (10.11.4)
Do you feel like a lot of classic fonts that used to be free and that came ready on your os are no longer available? I just replaced my 7 year old macbook pro's hdd with a ssd and started with a fresh install of el capitan. Now all my old favorites are gone. No Century Gothic, Gotham, or Helvetica. What gives?
I'm currently on Yosemite 10.10.5 and want to update to El Capitan 10.11 on my MacBook Pro 2012 SuperDrive. I've released that I've missed the download from the Mac App Store before it was replaced with Sierra. I've contacted apple support and they helped but it was unsuccessful. They shared a link for older macs to download El Capitan from the Mac App Store but that has no use for my MacBook. They also said if I purchased it with my Apple ID in the Mac App Store it would be there to download etc. But obviously I didn't. They also mentioned if I had friends or family that purchased it and I can sign in from their Apple ID to download it on my MacBook Pro that way, but I don't have friends or family that has done this. Does anyone know a way for me to get the 10.11.0 software please?
I previously used this, but now it only changes 1 desktop:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db "update data set value = '/Users/XXX/Documents/Backgrounds/Sci-fi/ar37373720w.jpg'" && killall Dock
Mac 4,1 user running 10.11.6.
I recently used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Mac HD to a new SSD. The cloning process was successful, but now I need to boot into the recovery partition in order to address an issue related to restoring my bootcamp partition to this new SSD (need to temporarily disable SIP).
My issue is that each time I try to boot into recovery mode (by pressing Command+R after a restart), I get a (very, very slow) progress bar that ultimately ends up hanging indefinitely once the progress bar is full. I've tried booting into the recovery partition multiple times, and have even let the boot screen load for the whole night (8+ hours), and it never gets past that frozen state into the recovery partition.
Anyone know why this might be happening, and how to solve this?
I waited too long, and hadn't ever clicked on it in the App Store before, thus it's not listed in my "Purchased" stuff.
these pages: https://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&type=suggested&locale=en_US&q=el+capitan+download&src=support_searchbox_main and https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos show more than a few versions of OS X El Capitan. What I'm unsure of is, would the last update (10.11.6, I think) that's available on the above webpage work?
Oh yeah; that .6 update is a Combo Update. May I presume that it would work for the intentions of copying it onto a flash drive to install at a later date?
Is there spoof app to open up CC/CS6, cause this is getting ridiculous with them (adobe). I thought cc or cs6 would work on el capitan? Apple seems to have removed system version.plist, unless I don't know of. I just want to bypass to get into adobe cc (not cc 2014-2015) or cs6.
I'm in single user mode and I've changed my OSX back to 10.11.6 whereas before I was in 10.7.0 due to installing some software.
How do I apply these changes and restart my laptop whilst in single user mode??
I am desperate.
This morning I had to do a quick shut-down of my mid-2010 MacBook Pro because the battery was at 5% and my charging cord was at the office. When I restarted the computer here at the office, my wallpaper on desktop 1 was changed to the default wallpaper of El Capitan at sunrise.
Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty image, but why did it change? The wallpaper I had selected (and been using for three weeks now) is filed in my Downloads folder, but that hasn't been a problem in the past.
Any suggestions on what to look at as the source of the issue?
Hi ! My MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011 on 10.11.6 had this problem. Can someone help me ? (Sorry for my bad english)

I am about to buy a Samsung S3 External SSD - 1TB for my Mac Mini.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVF6UO8
The Mini is the newest model and has a 1TB hard disk (no Fusion).
I will be making the SSD the bootable drive via USB3. Thunderbolt is actually slower believe it or not.
Is it possible with El Capitan to point Time Machine to the internal spinning drive for backups?
Hopefully someone has done this and it worked. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: To add Amazon link.
(I posted this same question in /r/Mac as I wasn't sure how to crosspost.)
I have a mac book and I need to be able to use three programs, GameMaker (not Studio) and Unity. I want to get X code to publish my games but that requires El Capitan. Do theses programs work with El Capitan, thank you.
Alright, I really hope I can explain this effectively... and that someone can help me. I normally work with the finder set to columned view. Prior to upgrading, when I would "Save As", it would, by default, show the path from Origin... with my current location being the folder I'm in. Example: Desktop > Ad 3 > 300x250 > Images Now, when I Save as, by default it only show my current location. Example: Images. So without manually checking, I don't know if I'm in the right folder (Like Ad 3 instead of Ad 2, for example). This actually slows me down at my job, and is quite annoying.
How do I get it to show the full folder path/tree by default? Please help!
Hello, I bought a Logitech Performance MX mouse today and I have the exact same problem as OP had described in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/OSXElCapitan/comments/3koc6o/logitech_mouse_support/?st=isuis5ib&sh=38e95fc4
Furthermore double click doesn't seem to work in the Finder, although it works elsewhere. I'm running OSX El Capitan 10.6.11 on a Mid-2015 rMBP.
I'm not entirely sure why but my gimp app no longer loads and continues to return an error along with the X11 that runs with it. I've read McGimp may work or a different version of Gimp, wondering if someone can confirm? Thanks.
