Jan 11, 2017 - Does Xcode 8 support El Capitan, or does Apple leave it to developers. Only it doesn't: there is no option to download and install El. Hi Guys, I have two macbook pros. One is 13-inch, Late 2011 and the other is RMBP 15-inch Early 2013. I tried to download El Capitan from app store and first thing i noticed was that in every store i checked (diffrent countries) El Capitan could not be found. Finally i did a search on apple website and i came across this link: and i could see an 'Get' option but when i click it, it says: 'This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer.' This is very strange because both laptops should be supported for El Capitan. Is there any other way to download the El Capitan installer? I want to mention that i never had El Capitan running before so the file is not in my purchased list. I want the installer because i want to make a clean install on my mac pro 5.1 that i just bought and i just don't want to go and install Sierra (i am not an early adopter of software). The solution (I realize it doesn't help the OP right now) is to maintain a long-term 'archive' of ALL Apple installer software that you can 'reach back into' at a moment of need. I maintain a separate drive partition for just this purpose. Otherwise, the only way to get ahold of a copy of the El Cap installer may involve accessing it via 'unauthorized channels'. I have no qualms about doing so when I can't get something 'the authorized way'. If Apple won't be reasonable about obtaining earlier versions of its OS and other software, I'll find them as I can. Whether YOU wish to do so is up to you.
