Apple Releases OS X 10.11 El Capitan With Improved Spotlight Search, Enhanced Performance, and Revamped Apps

[Tdadlani]

Best OS since Snow Leopard. Truly great stuff after using it all summer. Some betas were rocky but the final release is great. Yosemite doesn't even compare...I had so many issues on that version.

What features make it the best?

Going to do a fresh install. How do I make a UBS key?

I dont know how to make UBS key, but if you want to make a USB key, use Lion Disk Maker

Download speed is 60 KB/s in Russia. It's insane

 

[Noble Actual]

Holding off until its proven that it reduces lag.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Slow.

In Soviet Russia 60 kilo bytes you.

Seriously though. That sucks. You have my condolences.

Lots of issues with audio specifically. Related to that I wonder if they'll need to put out a Logic 10.2.1 soon.

Any extra info on the issues you're having would be great.

EDIT: There is a workaround for the AU validation bug on NI's user forum.

Downloading in the UK . . . and applying 9.0.2 at the same time . . . if you going
to screw things up do it properly! I really hope this isn't a FUBAR coming on

that annoying thing where all the albums reset to collapsed view when you open the app?

This. A million times. Very annoying especially when I wanted to drag a photo to one of my many albums - the list would always jump straight to the top. Very beta-like behavior. Can anyone confirm if this was fixed in 10.11?

Yes!! under an hour to g... oh, wait.. back to 9 hours.

This is actually rather funny. Reminds me of Keystone Cops.

BL.

Wow setting up iCloud account after initial login is taking a loooooooong time.

 

[kometen]

I'm going back and forth. 1 hour 12 minutes at one point, then up to 16 hours 52 minutes.. now I'm down to 4 hours 47 minutes.. and I'm using my work's pipe.

I'm in Sacramento.

BL.

There is a certain Miscrosoftian touch on this going up and down. Or is it back and forth?

Great. Now, when new Macs with Intel Skylake, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 (reversible) generation 2, and SDXC reader supporting UHS-II maximum speed (300 MB/s), as well as Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad with built-in USB 3.1 ports and Apple Thunderbolt Display with such ports?

 

[MVPA]

Download has failed, trying the 2nd time now.

 

[RUQRU]

DONE!

Does it update Finder so I don't get the spinning rainbow beachball of death just when doing trivial things like moving through some files in a folder ? hope so. Finder is such a dog.

 

[You are the One]

Not seeing it yet here in Silicon Valley, spitting distance from Apple HQ.

Please spit on the server that hangs up on my download, Linda

[Max(IT)]

Is there already a guide to create a bootable USB stick?

 

[jwm]

Awesome, only 14 hours more to go until it's finished downloading on my "Super fast EE broadband".

Yes, the Finder is an improvement. The one in Yosemite can really lag while loading thumbnails.

Well, it looks like Apple's servers took the day off today. Both El Capitan, iOS 9.0.2 AND Safari 9.0 won't download, not even via iTunes in iOS's case. The Mac App Store also likes to think I installed Safari 9.0 about 15 times or so while I'm still typing this very post from 8.0.8.

Oh well. Tomorrow's another day.

Fully downloaded, added copy to another disk, ready to update
