- Mac App Store El Capitan
Active1 year, 5 months ago
I have an older Mac computer. Apple tells me it will run OS thru El Capitan. It is currently running snow leopard 10.6.8.
Whether or not you’ve downloaded it in the past, you can now download OS X El Capitan 10.11. 6 (6.21 GB) via this link which will open first in the Browser, then in the App Store. This version of OS X El Capitan is for users running OS X Snow Leopard who would like to upgrade to macOS Sierra.
Can't Download El Capitan
I can exit the App Store, restart it, go back to the El Capitan page and do the whole process again, but nothing seems to let me download the full, latest version of 10.11. Even if I use defaults to enable the debug menu on the App Store, bump the logging level up to 4, there's not a lot of info shown in Console. Whether or not you’ve downloaded it in the past, you can now download OS X El Capitan 10.11. 6 (6.21 GB) via this link which will open first in the Browser, then in the App Store. This version of OS X El Capitan is for users running OS X Snow Leopard who would like to upgrade to macOS Sierra. Is El Capitan still available for download? Whether or not you’ve downloaded it in the past, you can now download OS X El Capitan 10.11. 6 (6.21 GB) via this link which will open first in the Browser, then in the App Store. This version of OS X El Capitan is for users running OS X Snow Leopard who would like to upgrade to macOS Sierra. Most of the Mac models can install and run OS X El Capitan, but in some devices, you can't use full features of this OS due to hardware limitations. For instance, you can't use AirDrop on your Mac if you don't have a WiFi network compatible with PAN. The followings are devices that are compatible with OS X El Capitan.
When I open 'http://iTunes.apple.com/app/os-x-el-capitan/id1147835433?mt=12' I go to the Apple App Store and it says this is the El Capitan download. There is a blue button on the left side of screen under the large X that says 'Get'. If I click on this blue button, the button changes shade of blue as long as I hold the mouse button down, but nothing happens. If I click on the down arrow on the right side of the blue button, I get two options, 'copy link' and 'tell a friend'.
How do I download El Capitan? I called Apple tech support (tier 2) and spend several hours downloading to 10.6.8, but Apple can not tell me why I can not download El Capitan from the App Store. Any help appreciated!

7If neither of the 'direct' App Store links (1. El Capitan 2. El Capitan) as described in other answers like this one work, you can try to trick App Store - as elaborated here: Install OS X El Capitan on Mac Direct Download.
Acrobat professional 9 0 aoo download. Here a local web server with all necessary files mimics the remote but stubborn Apple server.
- Open a browser and download the following files:
- OS X El Capitan .pfpkg file (direct link)

- Open Terminal.app and enter
- add the following line at the end of the file:

cd Desktop

mkdir osxapps_local
and cd to it:cd osxapps_local
- Create to paths with:
- move the downloaded files to the respective folders:
- Start a small web server:
- Now you can check if your small web server works by enteringin the address field of your browser. The file should be 'downloaded' with a high download speed. Delete the downloaded file afterwards.
- Launch App Store.app, go to the El Capitan page or your Purchased tab and download OS X El Capitan from there.
- The OS X El Capitan Installer.app should be 'downloaded', compiled in /Applications/ and launched. Quit the OS X Installer for now. Quit App Store.app.
- Quit the http server by entering ctrlC in Terminal.app
- Revert the changes of your hosts file:and remove the line
