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

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".

Remember the bug where an incompatibility with Mavericks would cause WD's hardware RAID manager software to kill all the data on your WD RAID drives? Never update until you know WD is ready. BTW, I don't know if OS updates ever "just worked" with old software. I remember Leopard especially causing problems. But at least the updates weren't shoved down our throats as much.

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

What about those of us not having trouble? What makes us different from those who are? I have a GMail account, an iCloud email account, and a Yahoo email account all working perfectly well with El Capitan. I didn’t lose any folders, any archived mail, none of the reported problems others have.

Things like this have always fascinated me.

Would the problems with Bluetooth and wifi be hardware or software? When I turn Bluetooth off, my wifi speeds increase drastically.

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

That is true, but iTunes relies on frameworks that may have been updated. It isn't completely independent of the OS, which is why it has always been a bit of hassle to downgrade.

For me, El Cap's USB stack and blank screen on wake have been sporadic issues.

iTunes 12 has been a source of great angst as well.
 
Just did a clean install in my 2014 5K iMac and I somehow got 10.11.2. How did that happen? Did I get the beta? I'm not part of the beta program. I'm not in front of it right now but in a while when I am, I'll check the build number.
 
I think I'm developing a phobia of installing software updates. Since almost every update I install on iOS makes my devices slower in one way or another. But can't say the same for OS X. I noticed overall improved smoothness in El Capitan over Yosemite, despite a few annoying bugs.
 
Sadly 10.11.1 didn't help with stability on unsupported macs and unable to download store apps.

It's 15C30. And I got it too!

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.

No, it wasn't.

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

No, it isn't. Your welcome.



If I had meant any of those things, I would have said them instead.
 
Has the lag in the calendar app been improved? On 10.11.0 and .1, I get a beach ball for five seconds pretty much every time I create a new event. Very frustrating because I manage many shared calendars at work and sometimes have to add hundreds of entries every day.

That's not a general problem. Something is wrong with your system.

Finally they have fixed the issue where opening photos in Preview made them look corrupted and green!

you guys should be able to get newer build 10.11.2 by reinstalling from internet...apparently few people have been getting that.

Have you submitted feedback to Apple about it? Downloaded the PB to see if it's resolved? Or do you think random posts on a forum thread about how things used to "just work" will somehow get it fixed? :p
 
More things Apple adds to make it "convenient" to find, the more things that can go wrong...

This is why i'm still on 10.10.5
