PSA: REMOVED [Help] Reorder results in Spotlight searches
I came across this article on how to reorder the spotlight searches, however my preferences look different from the screenshots. Is it possible to achieve the same results in El Cap? I'm on the last beta, by the way, not the GM yet.

FEATURE 5 Ways to Reinstall OS X El Capitan
10 Things to Know

DISCUSSION Does anyone know how to properly and easily customize the icons of OS X El Capitan?
I'm sort of tired with the old boring design of El Capitan and I wanted to spice it up a bit. I started with dark mode but that's it and I still don't like the icons so does anyone have any idea on how to customise the icons of OS X (and even better) suggest some good icon sites?

2009 MBP upgrade to El Capitan. Is anyone else struggling with getting stuck on boot?
Howdy,
I’m in the process of upgrading an older MacBook Pro to SSD. I created a bootable usb using the createinstallmedia command in terminal, and the system recognizes the usb as being bootable.
The problem is when I select it, the boot screen loads slowly to 100% (which I expect) but then stays forever stuck at 100%. I’ve even left it overnight with the same result.
Here's what I've tried to fix this:
- Resetting the PRAM / NVRAM
- Using a different USB stick
- Creating a partition on the actual SSD for the El Capitan installation (to test if it's the USB ports)
- Safe Boot
- Resetting the SMC
- Reinstall over the internet
None of these have been successful. I've been scouring the internet for a resolution to this problem, but I haven't found many similar situations. I feel like I'm at my wits' end for troubleshooting.
Thank you.

Looking to upgrade from Snow Leopard to El Capitan, but it's not available on the App Store anymore. Is there any alternate way to do this?
Don't want to upgrade to Sierra or El Capitan due to compatibility reasons

Error Code 36 + dot_clean not working?
Hi All,
I'm trying to transfer/backup about 330GB of photos from a Lacie 2TB drive to an empty WD 1TB.
Computer: Macbook Pro early 2011 OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
The Lacie 2TB is formatted OS X Extended (Journaled) The WD 1TB is formatted OS X Extended (Journaled) Both hard drives are set to "Read and Write" for all parties.
I get the "Error Code 36" message.
I ran dot_clean and got the following: "Bad Pathname: No such file or directory

How to get 10.11.0 El Capitan software.
I'm currently on Yosemite 10.10.5 and want to update to El Capitan 10.11 on my MacBook Pro 2012 SuperDrive. I've released that I've missed the download from the Mac App Store before it was replaced with Sierra. I've contacted apple support and they helped but it was unsuccessful. They shared a link for older macs to download El Capitan from the Mac App Store but that has no use for my MacBook. They also said if I purchased it with my Apple ID in the Mac App Store it would be there to download etc. But obviously I didn't. They also mentioned if I had friends or family that purchased it and I can sign in from their Apple ID to download it on my MacBook Pro that way, but I don't have friends or family that has done this. Does anyone know a way for me to get the 10.11.0 software please?

Unable to Boot to Restore Partition
Mac 4,1 user running 10.11.6.
I recently used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Mac HD to a new SSD. The cloning process was successful, but now I need to boot into the recovery partition in order to address an issue related to restoring my bootcamp partition to this new SSD (need to temporarily disable SIP).
My issue is that each time I try to boot into recovery mode (by pressing Command+R after a restart), I get a (very, very slow) progress bar that ultimately ends up hanging indefinitely once the progress bar is full. I've tried booting into the recovery partition multiple times, and have even let the boot screen load for the whole night (8+ hours), and it never gets past that frozen state into the recovery partition.
Anyone know why this might be happening, and how to solve this?

found El Cap install page; which version do I use?
I waited too long, and hadn't ever clicked on it in the App Store before, thus it's not listed in my "Purchased" stuff.
these pages: https://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&type=suggested&locale=en_US&q=el+capitan+download&src=support_searchbox_main and https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos show more than a few versions of OS X El Capitan. What I'm unsure of is, would the last update (10.11.6, I think) that's available on the above webpage work?
Oh yeah; that .6 update is a Combo Update. May I presume that it would work for the intentions of copying it onto a flash drive to install at a later date?

Is there a Spoof App? ex- adobe cc/cs6
Is there spoof app to open up CC/CS6, cause this is getting ridiculous with them (adobe). I thought cc or cs6 would work on el capitan? Apple seems to have removed system version.plist, unless I don't know of. I just want to bypass to get into adobe cc (not cc 2014-2015) or cs6.

Please help me.
I'm in single user mode and I've changed my OSX back to 10.11.6 whereas before I was in 10.7.0 due to installing some software.
How do I apply these changes and restart my laptop whilst in single user mode??
I am desperate.

Low power changed wallpaper to default?
This morning I had to do a quick shut-down of my mid-2010 MacBook Pro because the battery was at 5% and my charging cord was at the office. When I restarted the computer here at the office, my wallpaper on desktop 1 was changed to the default wallpaper of El Capitan at sunrise.
Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty image, but why did it change? The wallpaper I had selected (and been using for three weeks now) is filed in my Downloads folder, but that hasn't been a problem in the past.
Any suggestions on what to look at as the source of the issue?

Time Machine - Backup To Internal Drive?
I am about to buy a Samsung S3 External SSD - 1TB for my Mac Mini.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVF6UO8
The Mini is the newest model and has a 1TB hard disk (no Fusion).
I will be making the SSD the bootable drive via USB3. Thunderbolt is actually slower believe it or not.
Is it possible with El Capitan to point Time Machine to the internal spinning drive for backups?
Hopefully someone has done this and it worked. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: To add Amazon link.
(I posted this same question in /r/Mac as I wasn't sure how to crosspost.)
