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

[smithrh]

This thread may get really confusing, I can see some people are mixing up what applies to iOS vs. El Cap...

 

[Gsoz]

No Watch OS 2.0 b3 is required for the watch to pair.

System Requirements

watchOS 2 beta supports iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus running iOS 9 beta. iOS 9 beta software should be installed from the Apple Developer website using the latest released version of iTunes.

I don't think that was what he was asking, you can go ahead and install iOS9 Beta and your watch (1.01) will work just fine.

 

[RigoStar]

Ohhhh this beta version is veeeeery slow... Everything is so buggy. I don't remember a beta being so buggy actually. It reminds of my old Android little phone.

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

 

[kybldmstr]

You don't

Then how do you clean install iOS 9 PB?

 

[Prof.]

Actually I would like to try the beta software. My question is - once officially released I want to get off the beta cycle and start using the official released versions. Is this easily possible. And by easily I mean without re-installing everything?

I remember installing 10.10 on a partition, then not finding a way to install official releases. So I deleted the partition and installed it over Mavericks I had on my official partition.

I'll sit these out and allow the rest of you beta testers to see to it that Apple fixes the issues. Upon public release I don't want to have to deal with removing them.

Got iOS 9 to install, but MAS won’t accept my El Cap redeem code.

Beta 3 works fine with watch 1.0.1 as long as you don't have to pair it.. Those two OS will not pair.

Then how do you explain everyone else on this forum who has it working?

I just installed the OS X beta on a 2012 MBA without any problems. It has 8 GB of RAM and the video memory went up to 1536MB (Intel 4000). Yosemite used 1024 MB only.

 

[anthonymoody]

Wish this thread could be split iOS - OSX.

Oh I'm sorry do you mean they will work together if already paired but will not be able to set up if watch and phone is not already paired.

I envy all you people that have a fast internet connection and can download this beta in 10 minutes, while I have to wait 2 hours for it to download.

 

[penajmz]

Then how do you explain everyone else on this forum who has it working?

You know what, I was confused for a minute. It is watchOS2 that won't work with anything under iOS 9.

 

[WB2Colorado]

You don't.

 

[gemmen23]

I cant wait to get home to install iOS 9 Beta 3. I think it will have a little issue since I have been testing betas. Apple finally release public betas to minimize the issue during the release. A soild OS.

 

[swiftaw]

I keep getting a "Profile Installation Failed" on my iPad immediately after trying to install the Profile - am I missing a step?

 

[kybldmstr]

Thank you for clarifying

Back up on iTunes/Time Machine first, guys. Remember it's a 'Beta.'

Or use a VM. Works even in VMware Fusion v5.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

 

[TC03]

Can anyone upload the .profile so that I can get it OTA? Beta.apple.com is really slow.

i keep getting this error when trying to install El Cap:

"OS X could not be installed on your computer. A mismatch between MBR and GPT partition maps is not supported with this operation. Quite the installer to restart your computer and try again."

I've already tried restarting 5 times and I still keep getting this error. Anyone in the same boat?

1. Launch gdisk normally:
   
   sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
   
   
2. Enter d to delete a GPT entry, and enter number 4 when it asks which one.
   
   
3. Enter n to create a new GPT entry, and enter number 4 when it asks which one.
   
   
4. Enter 879450112 as the first sector.
   
   
5. Enter 976183295 as the last sector.
   
   
6. Enter 0700 as the hex code.
   
   
7. Enter w to save the changes, then y to confirm.
   

That should do it. If you need to stop and start over at any point, hit control+C.

Is the change in typeface that noticeable? What don't you like about it?

Here's a question, I enrolled with the iOS beta (and have the feedback app now) I then went to software update and it appears to have downloaded the beta, however when I hit install I get an error message (unable to install), so now I have a notification badge on my update but can't seem to install..... If I can never get it to install will the next iOS update just override it or do I have to find a way to remove it?

If you really must just upgrade and than "reset all data"
