  • Install OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.iso (7.14 GB) Choose free or premium download.
  • Nstall OS X 10.11.4 (or later). I would first check to to see if your Mac is compatible to upgrade the the latest version of MacOS. One thing to note about MacOS Catalina is that it drops support for 32-bit applications. If you still use 32 bit applications you could upgrade to MacOS Mojave, 10.14 if your Mac supports it.

How to Install System Software on:

El Capitan OS X 10.11
Sierra OS X 10.12
Also works on…
High Sierra OS X 10.13
Mojave OS X 10.14

Install 10.11.4 On Mac

But, Catalina OS X 10.15 is rather hit and miss
and BigSur OS X 11 seems no go at all.

El Capitan os x 10.11 for Mac is like Win10 for Windows – Neither are LightScribe friendly.

It’s the fact that the problem stems from the fact that HP stopped developing the software back in March 2013 – nearly 3 years now long before El Capitan was released! They (the wise guys at Mac HQ) have done something different this time, as Yosemite OS X 10.10 was fine…

Install 10.11.4

However, folks much smarter than I am have found the cause of the problem and have sent me the solution…

My thanks go to, Stefan Ilchenko and Jo Vandeweghe – Thanks guys… 🙂

However please understand I am not a Mac expert so I offer this to you to try but can’t offer any direct support on its implementation…

The Problem With El Capitan OS X 10.11 and Sierra OS X 10.12

.

The cause is the SIP (system integrity protection) enabled.

The Solution…
.

To disable follow these steps:

  1. Boot to Recovery OS by restarting your machine and holding down the Command and R keys at startup.
  1. Launch Terminal from the Utilities menu.

Mac Os 10.11 Install

  1. Enter the following command: csrutil disable
  1. Reboot your computer.
  1. Download newest Lightscribe Host software; expand the .tar file on the desktop
  1. Install Pacifist 3.5.7 version and install the lightscribe.pkg file with Pacifist.
10.11
  1. Then you can, with the terminal command “csrutil enable”, as action describe above, enable the SIP again.

Install 10.11.4

Et voilà, the LACIE lightscribe software and Disc Cover 3, come back to recognize the Lightscribe drive.

I hope this works for you as it has for many other long-suffering El Capitan and Sierra users…
