When it comes to image editing, older versions of Photoshop (or whatever) already do what most creative users most frequently need. Each new software upgrade also requires they spend time they don’t have learning their way around the new release. Hard-working creative professionals make their money using Macs and Adobe software - but will avoid upgrading software or equipment until there's a pressing need to do so.Ĭreative pros may like the sound of a new feature, but they won't invest in it until they have a paying project that requires they use it. Photoshop is synonymous with image editing - but Adobe's software is expensive.Īdobe's business is to sell users new versions of its creative applications every year or two, introducing new features to convince users to upgrade. Adobe owns the graphics and design markets. Drives, disk burners, art tablets, printers, scanners and more - the replacement costs are non-trivial. They also like to stick with older architecture in order to avoid the need to upgrade their peripheral devices. Many creative users prefer to purchase second-hand Macs. The heartland of the Mac lies in the creative industries, and creative professionals want to get as much working life from their computers as they can get. There's a preconception that Mac users have deep pockets, but that's just an ignorant prejudice. The company had also worked hard to ensure these beautifully designed computers were built to last. They know there's life in these Macs, Apple had worked very hard to make these machines as high performing as possible. If not, reboot normally and try again.Bargain-conscious Mac users know pre-Intel systems are available for a song on eBay and elsewhere. Perhaps attempt the install while in safe mode and see if that is successful.
If I have missed something I hope someone else will jump in here and offer a suggestion.Įdit - You might try a restart in safe mode and let the iMac do cache cleaning and housekeeping. I apologize if my attempts to help have wasted your time. To that end, I've collected this link to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion retail purchase and download from the Apple Store. It may be that your original thoughts to download Mountain Lion and begin your upgrade from there were smack on target. And I believe your iMac meets the requirements for the upgrade. You have the links to the Apple Support documents detailing how to upgrade from Snow Leopard to El Capitan. You might try once more to download a fresh copy of 10.11 El Capitan after first deleting the current download. As I see it you are following the instructions as presented in the support docs and I felt sure that the combination of available downloads would have been enough to get you to your destination here. Unfortunately I am unsure what the hang up is in this case and am at a loss as to how to proceed from this point.
