Clearly that's UX douchbuggery.
Without knowing that it is clickable, I had been relying on System Report -> Software to get the build number.
Why would Apple hide the build number in the About box?
It shows on Betas and Dev Previews - most "normal" users don't need to know it (or would understand what it meant)
Following the tips on this page: https://computers.tutsplus.com/tuto...ng-mac-app-store-download-problems--mac-50439
Specifically the section for 'Apps Incorrectly Show Up as Installed' did the trick for me (deleting various app store .plists). Thanks for all the tips! I hope this helps someone else with the same issue. I now get the proper Download link for macOS Sierra.
Damn. And I just installed build 22 this morning. It took almost as long as Windows XP or so. But I just checked and this build is the one with the debug info apparently. Oh well... to redownload and reinstall it at night.
Thank you.
What a drag.

Maybe this is why it became impossible to follow the logs.
At this point we're all getting it from the same source (Mac App Store) so yes.
Yeah, just re-read all the comments. Nothing came up in Updates so I'm trying to re-purchase of the software from the MAS Purchases section.
On my About this Mac, it doesn't show a build number? Just says Version 10.12?
Hey Mate
There is no delta update for any previous GM build you may have.
You need to re download the whole 4.7GB again to obtain 16A323.
If you click on 10.12 when your on about your Mac it will then show you your build number in brackets.
If this is the case today's build is also a debug build because I got over 10K messages in under a minute.
Are you sure that's the case and that this level of logging isn't normal in Sierra? I know they changed the logging subsystem; most logs no longer go to disk and thus don't hurt performance as much as they used to.
Just fired up Console, under Devices My iMac, over 78,000 messages in under 2 minutes>
Thanks mate. Just did the update and is on the 16A323. Unfortunately, the bug I was still having in the original GM is present...
I can pair my BeatsStudio Wireless to my laptop but can't play music through the BT connection. This was working in the last beta, but all of the GM's are having no luck.
Hmm, I'm also on Public Beta, but I've tried re-downloading it twice today and I keep getting v 12.0.4.3, which is build 16A312a
And I've rebooted, FWIW...
Big whoop. Without a hearty PC to run it, this OS will stagger and run like garbage. We need a new professional mac desktop.
I don't think there is any need to re-download and install the new GM build, Apple will give us an update path through MAS if/when necessary because that is what they said they would do after installing the GM. There may not even be bug fixes in these new builds.
In general, you will need to have the last GM candidate in order to get updates. With 10.11, there were several GM candidates and only the last one, which was the release, was offered 10.11.1 or any other subsequent updates.
There are definitely bug fixes in these newer builds; whether most people will find them is a different question.
If you didn't download a copy today, it's not 16A323. Unfortunately there's really no other way to tell.
I cann
I cannot download it I get an error saying my redemption code has already been used. I downloaded prior release using same method just fine. Wtf.

There's also a Memories feature for displaying photo collections, and Messages has rich links, bigger emoji, and "Tapback" response options.

You need to re-download it from the Purchased tab in the MAS, no new code needed.
That would be a serious flip by Apple, the page where they gave out the download code specifically said that we would get any future updates through MAS. So If there are any bug fixes in these new builds I would completely expect them to release an update for those who are behind.
