Installing El Capiton on an old Mac Book Pro today, I received the error:

OS X could not be installed on your computer

Go to the Applications folder. Open the program called “Install OS X El Capitan”. Follow the on-screen instructions. If this program is missing or will not run, then move it to the trash and empty the trash, followed by re-downloading it from the App Store. An alternative approach is to create a dedicated installation drive from the El. Installing El Capiton on an old Mac Book Pro today, I received the error: 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. I would recommend trying to install El Capitan from the USB installer without changing the date in Terminal. The recent 24 Oct. 2019 certificate expiration did not effect my El Capitan USB installer, it did effect Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave USB installers.

No packages were eligible for install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

Expertgps crack keygen. I checked Apple’s support Matrix (it is a very old macbook pro) at https://support.apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_GB and it was listed as supported.

El Capitan Could Not Install

After lots of Googling and investigation, I discovered that the date and time were not set to current, the macbook thought it was year 2000.

You can easily reset the time and date by following the steps below:

Click Utilities on the menu bar
Select Terminal
Type date
Confirm the date is wrong
Type date 062112422016 (example: June 21st 12:42 2016)
Exit terminal
Click Restart

Once the Date and time are configured you will be able to install OS X.

Easy fix, for a ridiculous error!
