How to Install Mac OS X 10.11.6


Dave
 

Hi All,

Its installing now. 

On the machine I’m trying to update, the purchases section said “Install” for El Capitan, but if I tried this it gave an error saying the update couldn’t be verified. On another machine that had had El Cap already installed, it said “Download”.

Anyway its installing now so hopefully all is well!

Thanks a lot to everyone that helped.

All the Best
Dave

Alex, that won’t work. They only will upgrade within a major version. 10.11.6 combo will only upgrade 10.11 versions, not 10.10.

The 10.11.6 installer actually is on the app store. There is some method to get to it through the mac OS upgrade selection.
I’ve done it, but don’t remember how. At this point my purchase history includes installers for versions on macOS and OS X going back a ways.
I just pulled the latest 10.11 last evening, which is why I know for sure it is still available.

Hi All,

I’m trying to update an old Mac Pro Early 2008 from 10.10.5 to 10.11.6, does anyone know how to do this?

I can’t find it on the App Store and can’t find a separate .dmg file to download…..

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

All the Best

In the applications folder. If you think about it, it is an app, right?

By the way, the version from the app store is the latest (10.11.6). No need to apply further combo updates.

One one question, where does the App Store it put the downloaded file?

Hi,

Thanks, I finally found it in the Purchases - Panic over! I have it already on one identical machine and I’m just bringing a second machine up to the same spec software wise.

Its downloading now, hopefully it will install ok.

Thanks a lot

OK.  Let me see which images i needed for that process…

Yeah, he’ll have to update to 10.11 first and then download the combo update*, not combo update

It’s here:

But to get El Capitan, you can download it from the store in the Purchases section.



Or this installer may be a complete installer for 10.11.6
