Apple Releases First OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan Beta to Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan to public beta testers, just days after releasing the first beta to developers and just over a week after the public launch of OS X El Capitan 10.11.1.

The new beta is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store to those who are enrolled in Apple's beta testing program. Those wishing to join the program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website.

It's not yet known what improvements the latest update to OS X El Capitan will bring, but it's likely to include bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance improvements to address issues discovered since the release of OS X 10.11.1. Apple's release notes for the first developer beta asked testers to focus on Graphics, Wi-Fi, Calendar, USB, Notes, Photos, and Spotlight.

The 10.11.2 public beta has the same build number as the developer beta, 15C27e. Installation was uneventful.

PB for iOS 9.2 also out

 

[ThunderSkunk]

Nice.
If only I had a Macbook Pro with a skylake chip in it to install it on.

You could buy one or install it on another computer.

Yup. And there is a different thread for that.

Whats the point in being an OS X Developer these days when we can all run the latest builds? HAPPY DAYS

maybe this will fix iTunes? that last update totally killed iTunes music and radio for me.

 

[asiga]

Finally Mac news!! I was beginning to feel worried.

Let's hope they've solved the 1gb upload limit suddenly imposed on my WD MYCLOUD NAS drive since installing EC. It's a known issue and never occurred with Yosemite. Even Western Digitial seem oblivious to this yet on Youtube a guy is showing a workaround for it by going into Finder directly. What a pain. I remember when "everything just worked".

 

[danmart]

Has anyone who was having Mail problems seen an improvement in 10.11.2?

 

[Shirasaki]

Not much difference found yet.

Wishing system can be snappier.

Like safari???????

Wait, no new emojis?

Who knew that was the minimal system requirement for v10.11.2. Thanks for the insight.

Maybe this beta will fix the grey background I get when I wake my mac from sleep....

Hey Guys, today I decided to do a fresh install of 10.11.1 via the recovery partition. What it installed is 10.11.2 with a build number 15C30 not the 27b. I am guessing this is the final release that got into the apple installer by mistake?

Ummm, re-read your statement. iTunes is a completely separate application and is updates separately. iTunes updates don't happen with OS updates.

That's not normal and never heard of it before. Do a PRAM reset.

 

[ArmCortexA8]

1.34GB update from 10.11.1 of EC

 

[Janichsan]

So you are saying Apple released a Macbook Pro with a Skylake CPU when we weren't watching?

 

[Kaibelf]

I think that was the point. It's one of those "why is Apple working on this when I want shiny new models of ____" posts, as if the entire company works on one thing at a time.

 

[Shirasaki]

Like safari???????

Safari? snappier? Well, the most thing I can see except normal mouse cursor is still that beach ball when opening new tabs, opening links in new tabs, etc.
Maybe, web page loading speed is faster.
System is still not so responsive.

 

[digitalberg]

One of the best upgrade Os in my life!, excellent Apple!

For whatever reason, Safari under 10.11.0 couldn't load Facebook's website for me. Had to update to 10.11.1, which took like an hour to install. I don't know why I didn't just stay at Yosemite -_- (well, it was on my secondary computer, so whatever).
