The printing issues with Adobe products that were corrected, for me, with PB4, have returned with a vengeance. Photoshop CS6 will not print. Acrobat 11 which wouldn't print prior to PB4 (fixed in PB4) is now back to not being able to print in PB5. Acrobat Reader, which was able to print in all PBs through PB4, won't print in PB5.

Wondering the same thing... I need that and Box Sync to work and I'll take the plunge.
Box Sync version 4.0.7702 (current on MacUpdate and box.com) works for me.
I just had a problem installing it. Opening the application from the .dmg file didn't install it and put a wrong link on System Preferences. I had to copy it to applications folder and start from there, then verified that it appears on System Preferences --> Users and Groups --> Startup items and it worked.
Trying to install QuickBooks now.

Thanks for the info. Anxiously awaiting your experience with QB. Right now I am running 10.11.6 public release and I have to force restart my 13" rMBP at least twice a day. Not good for a non-beta OS.

Tried but QB its not working. And as on they support forum they will not release a sierra version until it is final. https://community.intuit.com/articl...-quickbooks-for-mac-running-on-mac-os-x-10-12

Ha, I actually got an email from Intuit saying that QB 14/15/16 for Mac will not work with the Sierra beta. And I either need to not install the beta, or move to the Quickbooks online subscription (which is far more expensive, so I'm holding out as long as I can).

I am still wondering about Adobe CS4 and with the most recent Public Beta being released I was wondering if it works or not? Has anyone tried CS4 out with MacOS Sierra Beta 4?

^^^^The latest Sierra PB is No. 5. I am using it with PS CS6 and Acrobat 11. After a rough start with earlier beta releases, and is now functioning as it should.

Can anyone confirm that Adobe CC apps are working right in the new beta? In particular InDesign and Photoshop?

^^^^As I said above, I am on PS CS6, but if you check the editable application list (First Post, Page 1) It lists PS CC as working. But, it does list a problem with InDesign.

Note - That's why the list was created - so you would look there first before asking a question.

Yes, I've seen the list. But InDesign was listed as having a problem in the first beta. Nobody has commented on if that was fixed or still persists in the most recent beta.

DueT is not compatible. I hope they fix that because I use that one a lot together with my ipad. Hmmm, I just read another list that says it is compatible. However I got a message when I installed the Beta that said it was not. I must check this out.
[doublepost=1471828097][/doublepost]So I've got my Duet to kinda work, but my pointer is HUGE! How do I fix that?

I've updated to the next beta and now it doesn't work at all. It just keeps asking for an install and a mac restart.

Which beta are you running because it stopped working on DP5 but it's working again on DP6. I don't know about the Public Betas as I'm running the Developer Previews.

You may want to include the build number for reference. PB5 is 16A294a.

I just updated to the public beta 5, it was working before the update from beta 4.

I see I have another update to beta 6, so hopefully it will work after that.

Okay so even after the update to beta 6 i'm still in a loop of it installing and wanting a reboot then, after it does the reboot it's looking for it to be installed again and it says it needs a "helper"! Someone have any suggestions as to what I should try now?
