Why is my Mac not connecting?
The first thing to do is to restart your MacBook and your wireless router. You should restart your router even if other devices can connect to the Internet. If you haven’t already, try connecting your MacBook to a different Wi-Fi network. If you can, the problem is with your personal network.
How do I retrieve my MacBook password?
With your Mac now in Recovery Mode, click on Utilities in the menu bar followed by Terminal. A new window will show up, waiting for you to enter a command. Type “resetpassword” as one word, without the quotes, and press Return. Close the Terminal window, where you will then find the Reset Password tool.

Can You update MacBook Pro past El Capitan?
If you have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, you can’t update the OS. To update, you need a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Model 6.2 and higher. If you are careful about what you download and where you search on the Internet, your computer is useable without the latest security updates.
Why is my MacBook not opening the WiFi login page?

Not sure why iOS devices seem better at handling public Wifi (other than I guess more likely to come into contact more frequently) than MacOs though.
Why is High Sierra not compatible with El Capitan?
If your machine meets the requirements for High Sierra then you can’t download El Capitan. Then why not supply a security patch update for El Capitan? When I go to the App Store there are no OS security updates available.
Is there going to be El Capitan 10.11.6?
According to below 10.11.6 became available in July. We need 10.11.7 right? No, there is no 10.11.7, 10.11.6 is the final version. Which means it is required to update to High Sierra in order to fix the chip security issue. But what about those not cleared to upgrade past El Capitan because they are on older Mac’s?
