Apple Launches Public Betas of iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan

[Peel]

Anyone else getting an empty page when clicking on the public beta download button?

I'm getting the same thing. It's not loading the App store, and just gives me a blank safari page.
Have you found a way around this yet?

Update: I retried it using Chrome Browser instead of Safari and it worked fine.

Can anyone comment on if Pages '09 works again under El Capitan?

isn't mac os x and iOS suppose to be easier to navigate? what's with all these features to confuse people?

Really dislike the new typeface and the way the keyboard switches to lowercase keys

also:
News app missing from public beta

Annoyed the keys on the keyboard no longer "pop up" as you type

Go into the keyboard settings. You can turn this back on...

Did Apple take a way the feutre that when you press a alphabet it doesn't pop up in iOS 9 ??

Go into keyboard settings. You can turn on pop up letters there...

Have they removed the two finger trackpad feature from the keyboard on iPhones? I'm refering to the one that was initially announced on the iPad.

I remember it was there in beta 1, but i can't seem to find it anywhere now.

I had iOS9 beta 3 on my iPhone 6, installed the public beta profile, but it's not showing any software updates.

I am running watchOS 1.0.1, and want to install watchOS 2 public beta.
I installed the profiles, but no software updates showing up.

Maybe because of my region? The Netherlands

I have the exact same issue. Have you found a solution? Thank you. I'm in Brazil.

Wait, there is a watchOS 2 public beta?

I'm installing the iOS beta right now. You need to go to Settings > General > Software Update to find it.

I'm going to wait a few days to give El Capitan a try. I have an external drive that boots up in 10.9.5 and I'm fearful of a firmware update making that impossible.

I was in the Yosemite beta, and I'm enrolled in the ElCapitan beta, but overtime I click to redeem, and it opens in the Mac Store, it redeems, but doesn't actually download, then it just says that it was already redeemed.

I have five iPhoto libraries, three of which have over 2000 photos. I went to a lot of effort to have the pictures, most of them scanned, in the correct date-taken order. That's the order I want them sorted in, not the date loaded into Photos (or iPhoto, for that matter). I don't really want to have to manually load these into new albums in the order I want, another long, drawn-out, manual process. I see this as a really basic capability, and it astounds me that after all this time Photos still can't do it.

I was first thinking of command line utilities, but how about this:

http://www.publicspace.net/PhotoDateChanger/

It sounds like it can do exactly what you want. It says it will "Correct Finder Sorting for Digital Photos." I presume you still have the correct scan dates in the EXIF data, don't you? (for that matter, perhaps you'd care to put the approx. correct shooting dates in there).

Then you sort them in Finder according to Data Created (or whatever file attribute you copy the scan date to) and drag them into Photos. At least it worked for me - they appeared in my new Photos folder in exactly the same order Finder had them in before I dragged them over). Might be worth $10 until Apple allows you to dynamically re-sort at will.

Go into keyboard settings. You can turn on pop up letters there...

It's called "Character Preview" for anyone that didn't notice it at first

 

[enthawizeguy]

is watch os available in the public beta?

 

[ksuyen]

error? Please stop overloading the server

 

[YIR92]

has anyone by chance gotten El Cap and can speak to how Adobe CC 2015 apps work? Those are literally the only worry I have in updating.

Is it just me or is the battery icon... Longer? (iOS 9)

Anyone else get this when trying to download the profile on there phone? Could this mean that there's a public beta of watchos?

 

[groovyd]

What is going on here? Opened the App Store for the update 30 min ago and it is still spinning and accumulating a ton of memory, 30GB and counting... ?!?!

Update: Booted into Safe Mode and the Software Update actually showed me 2 updates for 10.10.4 and Raw Camera BS that actually updated. Rebooted and Software Update then showed no updates avail, not even the public beta. Went to Apple's public beta website directly and 're-registered' my device to get the download coupon code and it launched me back into Software Update which is now properly downloading the public beta... am guessing there was something in the missed 10.10.4 update (even though my installed OS was already that) that was needed to get Software Update itself working. who knows... seems you just can't do anything on a computer these days without it caking up something to fight with for an hour first. Still can't enable my iCloud Keychain because of not having any other devices to validate from and no phone that takes sms. This is the biggest reason I am upgrading because I hear they added an option for regular phone validation (without sms).

I got the same thing and all my Watch did was reset and I still have 1.0.1.

Without a video to watch how multitasking works with the iPad Air 2, I'd be lost for a good while getting that going. Good now, but yeesh.

Unless I am mistaken, the conversion process puts them in date order. Regardless, after that, any imported are in import date order under the All Photos portion of Albums, but always in date order under the Photos tab. At first I wanted the order in All Photos album but then realized this is actually more convenient depending on how you were trying to find your photos, by date added or date taken.

Wow! El Cap flies on my old 2009 MacBookPro! My main computer, a brand new iMac sludges along frustratingly for some basic tasks on Yosemite and my 6 year old laptop performs tasks instantly. I'll be installing El Cap on my iMac soon if no major bugs come up in the Public Beta.
