I have a MacBook Pro and tried to install El Capitan yesterday but it's stuck at 95% and won't go any further. I tried doing the recovery but every time I press command+r it takes me back to the download. Please help, this happened when I tried to download to the Yosemite as well and it did the same thing, I had to pay Apple $30 just to talk to tech support.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
"but it's stuck at 95% and won't go any further."
If it applies, anti virus softare, web accelerators, and net monitoring apps such as Little Snitch can prevent your Mac from upgrading.
To use Command + R the Mac must be shut down first.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to verify and repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery.
Then try upgrading to El Capitan.
I dont have anti virus software, web accelerators and net monitoring apps on my macbook. And I've already tried Command + R after startup, it goes right back to the download.
I can't get to the Recovery HD while pressing Command + R during startup. Is there another way to get it to System Recovery without using Command + R?
hold the Opt button while rebooting, it will take you to the startup disks you have on your mac, choose the recovery disk
I Tried that too, the only thing that showed up was my HD and when I clicked that it went back to where I started, the download bar with the Apple logo
Download stuck at 95%
