iBook i5 with Mac OSX El Capitan Upgraded

Here's my last article in this blog about upgrading the OS of the iMac G3 i7 to OSX El Capitan:

http://siiveldotcom.blogspot.com/2015/11/installing-mac-osx-el-capitan-on-imac.html

After that upgrade, everything were running smoothly.

Now it is the turn for my iBook i5. iBook i5 is not my primary system, hence the upgrade was relatively easier. The procedure was the same with that of iMac G3 i7:

Go to Mac App Store -> Download OSX El Capitan -> Launch it -> Wait

One needs to plug the adapter or the Mac won't allow the installation to begin.

The iBook i5 is installing the OSX El Capitan

The installation took about 60-70 minutes.

Installation Finished!

Now the iBook i5 Comes with a New Operating System.

I haven't made an upgrade video for my iMac G3 i7, but have for this iBook, that is a short video and the URL is:

See you soon!

Installing Mac OSX El Capitan on iMac G3 i7

The Mac OSX El Capitan was issued on 30 Sept 2015. I upgraded this new OS from Yosemite yesterday, however. It is because I have almost 50,000 pictures in my Mac. I need plenty of time to back them up securely before making big changes.

Before the upgrade, I backed up the data on my iMac once in Airport Time Capsule. And then I dragged the iPhoto Library into 2 respective external hard-diskes. I have some problem with my Apple ID, otherwise I would have backed-up those photos on iCloud, indeed. But at this stage, those measures were already secure enough.

The upgrade of the new OS is easy. Just entered into the Mac App Store and download the new OS (for about 20 minutes). After that, double-clicked the downloaded OS and the Mac will do it without any hassle.

 Mac OSX El Capitan was being downloaded from Mac App Store.

Choose the hard-disk for the installation.

The installation took an hour.

The installion took about an hour. After that, the system will restart and the new OS will be ready.

Now the new OS is ready.

In fact my iMac G3 i7 is still equipped with a 2.5" SATA2 hard-disk. The start-up speed is very very very slow. Sooner-or-later I will replace it with a SSD.

Mac OSX Yosemite Installed in iMac G3 i7

It is just the Beta Version :)

Mac OSX Yosemite will come this fall.

However, Mac users are invited to participate in Apple's OSX Beta Program and try the Beta Version of Mac OSX Yosemite before it launches:

I have partitioned my hard disk and installed the Mac OSX Yosemite (Beta) into my iMac G3 i7. This is the video about the process of installation and review:

I will conduct more tests to see its performance and limitations when use with iMac G3 i7.
