I don't have a MP2,1, so I can't test in your environment. If the Pikify app can't use that (and requires the installer file to be in the Applications folder), then one method to proceed is to use another Mac that is natively compatible with El Capitan to run the installer with that file.Īnd, you will have your "Install OS X El Capitan" app, which you can copy from that other Mac to the Applications folder on your MacPro, and then (finally), Pikify should find that app, and should then successfully prepare that app to allow you to install El Capitan on your MacPro2,1 That file "InstallMacOSX.pkg" is as far as you should go. If you get the window telling you that you can't install on this Mac, then QUIT the installer. Right-click on THAT file, again Open With, choosing Installer (again, that should be the default, but doing it this way assures that no other app will open that file. Inside that folder is your file "InstallMacOSX.pkg" That should then mount as a folder named "Install OS X" Right-click on that InstallMacOSX.dmg, then mouse down to Open With, and click on Disk Image Mounter (should be the default there) Try this to make sure that no other apps are interfering with the extraction of the file you need. You should still have the file that you downloaded from - "InstallMacOSX.dmg" I think that file is not particularly useful to you. I don't understand why you keep ending up with a file named "El Capitan.mkpg". No need to move it there.Īnd, THEN, you can use the Pikify app to patch that installer app, and continue on with the install on your Mac Pro. That's all it does at that point, and you will find your Install OS X El Capitan.app there in your Applications folder. When the install is complete, the installer app will be copied to your Applications folder. When you open that file, you will get a folder with an installer file, named InstallMacOSX.pkgĭouble-click THAT file, which will open your installer app. Notice that you should get a file named "InstallMacOSX.dmg" I suggest that you download the El Capitan installer again. The name of the installer is "Install OS X El Capitan". If that's what you have, that OSInstall.mpkg will be a file less than 700 KB, and can't possibly work for what you want.Īlso, you won't find any file named El Capitan.exe - that doesn't exist. (I'm guessing that you extracted the file named "OSInstall.mpkg" from the "Install OS X El Capitan". Not sure what the Pikify app does, but patching the installer app should make it larger than 6.22 GB. How large is that El Capitan.mpkg file that you are trying to use?Īssuming it is the full OS X installer, it SHOULD be about 6.22 GB.
