To create a bootable El Capitan installer drive, you need the El Capitan installer from the Mac App Store and a Mac-formatted drive that’s big enough to hold the installer and all its data. Oct 30, 2013 Connect to SMB & NAS Network Shares in OS X Mavericks. Hi, Im using OS X El Captain 10.11.1. And connected to my Buffalo TeraStation via CIFS:// all ok except in Finder a lot of files say I have “You Have Custom Access” in Sharing & Permissions.
The tables, directories and other structures required for drive storage systems are complex, and prone to error, and sometimes corruption. Establishing that a problem is not the result of such issues is often an important first step. With El Capitan, it has also become something of a complex step, depending on which drive you want to check, and the storage medium.
All drive storage has at least two levels at which checks and repairs may be necessary: the whole-drive level, containing vital things like the partition map, and each volume’s file system, which is normally Mac Extended (HFS+). Although you can check a live mounted volume, if it requires repair it will have to be unmounted, so in general if you think there might be problems which need repair, you should go straight to repair – which requires the volume to be unmounted.

The startup volume cannot be repaired on two counts now: first, it cannot be unmounted, and second, as a live startup volume SIP prevents such repair. Whatever type of storage – hard disk, SSD, or Fusion Drive – the only way to repair your startup volume is to restart into Recovery Mode (Command-R) and run Disk Utility from there. If you prefer to run a third-party repair utility, that is best performed by restarting from a suitably-prepared bootable USB memory stick, containing OS X, Disk Utility, and the third-party tool. Vendors of those products explain how to prepare such a stick, and will usually provide a stick ready prepared.
Other internal or directly-connected external (USB, Thunderbolt, etc.) drives should be able to have their volumes unmounted. For those, you can run Disk Utility or a third-party tool as you wish.
However, if an external drive is a hardware RAID system, before running any disk and volume checks and repairs, you should ensure that the RAID system itself is fully healthy. This should be supported by the software which controls the RAID system, and detailed in its documentation. Once that is complete, use Disk Utility and/or the third-party tool as you wish.
There are also complications with CoreStorage LVGs, if you use them. This could apply to your startup disk, if you have an Apple Fusion Drive, or have made your own equivalent. Although Disk Utility can check and repair CoreStorage LVGs like Fusion Drives, third-party products may not be able to: check their documentation carefully before trying to use them.
Networked storage, including Apple Time Capsules and third-party NAS, are not accessible to Disk Utility, nor to its third-party replacements. Each therefore has its own utility software or web browser interface which gives you access to the disk checking and repair tools available. In the case of Time Capsules, use Apple’s AirPort Utility, as detailed here.
It is very unusual for a NAS to offer as sophisticated and powerful tools for checking and repair of its drive(s) as are available in OS X. This should be a significant consideration in selecting storage systems, and choosing your NAS.
Note that, like hardware RAID systems, there is an additional level in networked storage systems, which actually runs the NAS and makes it accessible over your network. Testing and fixing that is a much harder task, and seldom supported. Normally your only option is to update the system’s firmware/software.
USB and other drives which are connected to Time Capsules and other NAS systems are usually not accessible through those utilities. Shut the drive down, disconnect it from the NAS, and connect it direct to your Mac. You can then check and repair it using Disk Utility and/or third-party tools. Once happy, eject it, turn it off, and re-attach it to the NAS.
Remote storage, in particular cloud storage such as iCloud, is maintained by its service provider. There is nothing that you can do to test or repair it. If you feel that there is a problem, contact the service provider’s support desk.
Throughout this article, where I have referred to using Disk Utility, you may also be able to use its command line equivalent, diskutil, which is considerably more powerful, but far more complex to use.
Sharing files between Windows and OS X used to be a headache. Now with Windows 10 and the newest versions of OS X, the process has become much easier.
A decade ago, it was a headache trying to get Windows and OS X to talk to each other. Our previous article showed you how to set up a network between OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7. Since then things have gotten easier, especially with Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan. There are many options available, which include file syncing and using external storage mediums. Setting up a peer to peer network is also an option. Let’s look at that.
Before you begin, check to make sure both operating systems are updated. On OS X head to the Apple, menu > App Store > Updates to make sure it’s up-to-date.
Also, check to make sure your network adapters are functioning correctly. In Windows 10, press Windows key + X then click Device Manager. Expand Network Adapters; if there is no exclamation sign, then you are ready to go.
In OS X, launch System Preferences > Network and click your network connection.
Before you can browse each computer, you’ll need to enable the ability for both Windows 10 and OS X to see each other. In OS X, launch System Preferences > Sharing > check off File Sharing. Click Options then check off your user account. If you are unable to do this, your iCloud account might be preventing it. See instructions further down in this article on how to troubleshoot this problem.
In Windows 10, click Start > File Explorer then click Network in the Navigation pane. Click Turn on Network Discovery and File Sharing.
This article assumes you are using an Ethernet Connection which is the best way to enable things to work. All you need is a CAT5 cable to connect both computers. You can also use a basic network switch or router to connect both machines. Depending on the model of Mac you own, you might need to invest in an Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter; if there is no built-in Ethernet port. The majority of Windows computers come built in with an Ethernet port; exceptions include Ultrabooks and a 2-in-1 device such as the Microsoft Surface.
After connecting both systems, launch the Finder or press Shift + Command + K to open the network folder. Your Windows 10 PC should automatically be mounted. Double click it.
On the next screen click the Connect As button.
Enter your Microsoft Account and password then click Connect.
Automatically, your Personal Folders and any other shared folders are mounted in the Finder.
You can proceed to browse and copy files.
Click Start > File Explorer > Network. Double-click the Mac icon, and then log in.
Mac check if package is installed. The installer command installs a single package per invocation, which is specified with the -package parameter ( -pkg is accepted as a synonym). It may be either a single package or a metapackage. In the case of the metapackage, the packages which are part of the default install will be installed unless disqualified by a package's check tool(s). Jul 05, 2018 How to Find Exactly Where a Homebrew Package is Installed. If you want the exact path to where a Homebrew package is installed reported back to you via command line, the simplest method is to use the –prefix flag and point it at a particular Homebrew package on the Mac, this will reveal the location where it is installed: brew -prefix package. Use this command in terminal for check the list of package and uninstalled your files. $ pkgutil -pkgs # list all installed packages Once you've uninstalled the files, you can remove the receipt with. Browse other questions tagged macos uninstallation dmg pkg-file or ask your own question. In a BASH script I need to check if gcc, g, cpp, make, libpng devel, zlib devel, git, Java (including devel files), ant and pkg-config are available on Mac OS X and if not, I need to prompt user to install them. This is easy task on Linux as it has package management tools, but I have no idea how to do this in Mac OS.
If you are not able to log in, your iCloud account on the Mac might be preventing you from doing so. If you use your iCloud credentials to log into your Mac, it is unfortunately not compatible with Windows File Sharing for security reasons. The workaround for this is to change your account password.
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Change Password, click Use Separate Password.
Enter a new password, confirm, restart your Mac and configure Windows File Sharing again. Launch System Preferences > Sharing > check off File Sharing > click Options then check off the account you want to share files from.
If you still don’t see the Mac, try connecting manually using the NETBIOS name. You can find this in the Network Preference on the Mac. Launch System Preferences > Network > Advanced > WINS tab.
From your Windows PC, press Windows key + R then type the machine name then click OK. Enter your credentials; you should be able to access your resources.
There are still some wrinkles in the network experience between OS X and Windows, but it has certainly gotten better – both from the setup and troubleshooting side. I hope Apple modifies the iCloud password policy in future versions of OS X. I was able to log into my Windows PC from the Mac using my Microsoft Account credentials, so I don’t see why it can’t be same for OS X.
Cad for mac el capitan download. So If you did not download El Capitan before it was removed from the App Store then you will not be able to get it from the Appstore anymore.
