Hi all.
I have seen various answers to similar questions for previous versions of Mac Os X 10.11, but apparently nothing that is relevant to my problem or that has been useful so far.
Before you install the upgrade, there’s a little bit of prep work you should do. Our article on how to get your Mac ready for OS X 10.11 El Capitan is what you should read before you proceed. 7/10 (239 votes) - Download macOS El Capitan Mac Free. The twelfth version of Mac OS X appeared in 2015. MacOS El Capitan is the successor to Yosemite with improvements to its functions and graphical performance. MacOS is the current name of the former OS X, previously known as Mac OS X.
I have a Macbook Pro, late 2012. Multiple attempts to update to the latest Mac Os (10.11.5) from the App Store have failed with 'verification failed' when starting the actual installation after download. I'm quoting below a part of the install.log file that seems to be relevant but from which I cannot understand what is going on. Please note that the very same installation procedure worked on my newest Macbook Pro, mid 2015; the failing machine is the previous one I used, which I'm now using from home. (Perhaps, a detail that may be relevant, from what I read from previous users with similar problems, is that I upgraded my McP 2015 from my office's network while I'm using my home ADSL for the failing McP 2012).
Help would be greatly appreciated.
