Q: "Essentials.pkg" error goes in circle.

Have installed El Capitain in a late 2008 MacBook with no problem but in a 2009 MacBook it cannot install El Capitain because it gets an error while extracting the files of Essentials.pkg. It asks to restart and gets back to the same point.

Have tried to start from the recovery disk but it launch automatically the installation of El Capitain and gets to the same point again.

Have tried to download again El Capitain with no change.

Help pls

Hi Linc,

step 1 didn't work, instead step 2 made the job. There are still quite a few drawbacks in getting the computer signing-in iCloud and getting back the Mail organization (correspondence no longer organized by folders). Hope I will resolve them.

Thanks a lot.

Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Reset your computer’s PRAM.
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.
