I think you will need to install a seed configuration for the gm to get the point release betas. They should create one when the first 10.12.1 beta is released. Otherwise the gm will only get public releases. At least that's the way it was for yosemite and el capitan. …

I don't imagine a change to the catalogue URL. I stepped away from things before Yosemite was released, but AFAIR there weren't changes to the URLs.

That won't happen. But there could be more gms of 10.12 before public release.

I believe the GM was built on 8/29, about a 8-9 days ago so I think we won't see any more GMs now. Projection is tricky. But there will be 10.12.1 builds already, it's just we need to understand their timetable for release. It will be clearer shortly.
 
lots of kernel tasks, lots of photoanalysisd..also this is the first time I can actually hear it do stuff inside, like in the spinning disk days...

gonna close the lid and let it stay connected to power, power nap is on so with some luck it's all finished by tomorrow :)

only duet and Apple configurator aren't working, which I received a message for right after the upgrade :)

My MacBook Pro just crashed big time. What is the command to build a boot disk with the Golden Master?

The command is

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

Apple will update their instructions page at https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201372 to include Sierra after public release, not before.

Thanks. I got the update email but wondered why there was no new version. I didnt see the new download code.
 
What's the ram consumption for enabling Siri? Can I turn it off completely?
I have an early MBA 2015 and has only 4 of ram.
 
It's probably photoanalysisd.

The only thing that bothers me about Sierra.

photoanalysisd is at least kind enough to pause when you're on battery. I DO wish there a way to pause it, though... Or at least *throttle* it so that it doesn't heat the laptop up as much.
 
Well we'll get an updated OS, but no new Macs to run it on.
Yeah, really... that makes absolutely no sense. Have they ever actually done that?... I'm wondering if maybe another even might be announced. Maybe even on the 20th?
 
Just wondering... Is the 'iCloud Drive' feature in MacOS Sierra to load all files in the 'Documents and Desktop folder' in iCloud, switched off as a default, when updating from OSX El Capitan?
 
2) Major new macOS/OS X versions aren't linked to new hardware to begin with

Well, the announcements, no. But aren't the actual releases usually timed with new hardware? Maybe I'm just revealing my age, but I certainly remember a time when major OS upgrades coincided with new hardware... or at least that's how I remember it... :\

When you upgrade from El Capitan it will ask you if you want to turn this feature on during the series of dialogs you get right after the upgrade.

So the answer is "it's entirely up to you." :)

Let it crash on the developers' machines before the mass of production beta machines.

Thanks!
Is it an easy upgrade? I have about 500gb of files on my 2013 27" iMac.
 
So I'm checking update but it says no more update I see people saying GM is out. How can I get GM for sierra. Currently I'm on Developer Beta.
