OS X No Packages were eligible for install repaired. “No packages were eligible for install” is a message that appears when attempting to install OS X El Capitan on older macs. MacBooks are a very popular purchase in Melbourne and around Australia so it is important to understand the reasoning behind why this message appears. Jan 15, 2020 OS X could not be installed on your computer. No packages were eligible for install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again. Oh dear When trying to install OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) you may encounter this message.
Jul 03, 2016 Re-downloaded a fresh copy of 'Install OS X El Capitan' from the App Store, re-ran Unibeast 6.2.0 on an erased 16 GB USB drive; same problem repeats when attempting an install of El Cap on a new computer: Intel Core i7 6700 CPU, Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI motherboard, BIOS version F4c, Kingston 16 GB DDR4 RAM, Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD.
I need to upgrade to El Capitan 10.11 from 10.9.5 Mavericks.
Sierra is no use to me as some critical software I use is incompatible with it.
El Capitan is no longer available on the Mac App Store so I have been given a link to the download by an Apple Support agent.
When I try to download the El Capitan installer I get the error message 'This version of os x 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer'.
I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro tower running 10.9.5 which should run El Capitan; indeed Sierra is available to me via Mac App Store. I have plenty of RAM and spare capacity on my boot drive.
I have tried creating a new admin account and installing from there - no luck
I have tried safe mode - no luck
I have tried reinstalling Mavericks in case the Mac App Store was corruput - no luck
I have an SSD in the optical bay for boot up and four spinning hard drives in a software RAID.
I have the following PCIe cards
NVIDIA Geoforce GTX570
Apogee Symphony 64 (audio interface)
Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad (audio processing DSP)
Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 3
Any idea what is going on and why I can't download the El Capitan installer?
Many thanks in advance!
