On Beta 1, if you have a Vodafone USB Stick the NetManage application is not installed successfully - I found out the framework files are not copied, and manual copying is refused. Also if you use MyDrive / TomTom on Beta 1 updates will fail on your GPS.
Yes, Office '16 works very well for me too. Though I have had a few hang ups with Outlook. Just restarted it and it's good to go.
Yeay ! the Mail app is working on iPad Air 1. It would only crash in the first Beta. I'm downloading El Capital, with 1:45 left....
Oh, I was hoping you were kidding about the car. It would have made it easier to believe you were joking in these posts too.
As was predicted, it downloaded the first beta and then the second was available. The second beta seems much better. My only non-working app, a Fluid one, now works. Thanks for the help.
I can't get the El Capitan update to appear in software update. I re-downloaded the 1st beta from the app store and installed it and the update still doesn't appear. Anyone else having this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks.
I had this problem and used a direct link posted in the "Downloading Beta 2" thread. Couldn't get the second beta to appear no matter what I tried. You aren't missing much though. I haven't found a single difference yet (people say Mail works better but I use Thunderbird).
I have had no problems with Libre Office. I saw your post and thought i'd see if mine worked and it does.
Every document I open, LibreOffice freezes entirely. I'm running the most recent version of 4.4. PB1 did not do this.

I suggest that you get in touch with the support community for Libre Office;

After upgrading the iPad Air 2 with iOS9 public beta (and easy upgrade to beta 2) I notice that my super snappy iOS8 on the iPhone 5s now feels slow already. Perceptive magic, go away! (im a fan of ios9 btw, minus the multi task app switcher)
Considering it worked fine with El Cap PB1, I'm sure it's not their problem. I will look forward to PB3 and whether this will fix it.
Hmm good question, I allways go to the manufacturers web site to get the drivers anyway ( habit acquired with Windows where the default drivers tended to be bad/limited/old)
I have a Brother printer. When I plugged it in my Mac automagically found the drivers, but not the full software suite. So I could print, but not scan.
Sorry I didn't check back with the thread for a while.
At first I had freezing problems when opening a document, but then traced it to the fact that I was opening a file shared from my Mac Mini on OS X 10.4 (to my MacBook Pro with El Cap PB2). I believe I had to change the share from read to read/write.
I'm actually still on OpenOffice for now, but am planning to move to LibreOffice in the future. So I didn't test LibreOffice extensively. But both were freezing with the same symptoms before I changed the permissions on the share.
I suppose - technically - that it should still function on a read-only share. But since I have no need for such an office document share right now, I didn't think of it as a bug, but rather a user configuration error. Perhaps I should still report it?
