Apple Releases Second iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan Public Betas

[navaira]

Argh. Am I the only one for whom the update doesn't seem to be available?

 

[MacGizmo]

Is anybody else experiencing a bug in El Cap where the Finder's side-bar won't stay re-sized? lol. It's super annoying.

Yes. And yes, it is incredibly annoying. But I suspect that'll be fixed before release.

Um, I just downloaded ios 9 beta 2 (beta 1 worked pretty well!) and it's not going anywhere. First progress bar was fine, albeit slow. Second progress bar isn't doing anything. How should I proceed? Help! It's been about 20 minutes of nothingness . . . Thanks!

Yoda is a character from the Star Wars films (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda)
He is known for his unique phraseology when speaking. For example, instead of saying "You have become powerful, I sense the dark side in you", he would say "Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you."

Your statement earlier was "I deleted yesterday the public beta profile" instead of "I deleted the public beta profile yesterday." When you place the object of your sentence at the end it makes you sound like Yoda. Hope this helps.

Ok, thanks

Just installed the second beta. Can anyone list the differences from PB1?

It's really annoying!!! driving me crazy

Is there a changelog?

Please post iOS 9 beta 2 changelog.

Just installed the second beta. Can anyone list the differences from PB1?

It's the same build as the developer beta 4 that was released yesterday, so what's mentioned at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-9-0-beta-4-bug-fixes-and-changes.1902378/ would apply.

@DustinLH00What does yoda mean ?

You don't know Yoda? Ouch! My life hurts right now!

Anyone having problems installing the OS X? It keeps on downloading and then upon installing a dialog box opens and says "Available updates have changed: Click "Show details" to see available updates".

I click 'show details' and the same thing happens again and then says update installed below (this is false). Help?

Yes, I did have this problem. Keep trying. Each time I hit the new Update button it downloaded a little more. Finally after the 3rd time or so it actually finished the download, and right now it's installing the software after the reboot.

The server appears extremely congested, so it may time out a few times and take a few tries to resume the download where it left off. When it takes 5-10+ minutes installing during the reboot you know it's finally working.

Not a helpful reply and doesn't answer OP's question about how stable it is.

It's a beta. Some things are stable, but there are bugs. Without knowing how someone uses their phone, and what apps they use its impossible to answer his question with any accuracy.

excited for beta 2! lets download. then I can report how big it is, how long it took to download and how snappy saffari is.

Woo....

Well, for me, Safari with wifi is still broken. Firefox 18 mbps, Safari .8 to 3.5 mbps. They obviously haven't fixed what I reported.

Meaning exactly what? It should not function in multiple area's because it's a beta?

Personally, i want to know if Mail works; you know that program the entire workforce relies on to communicate for business. That has not functioned properly since Snow Leopard. Exchange accounts/IMAP, etc.

Fix that alone, and I am loading up.

Are you familiar with what a Beta is? Not ready for public release. There are bugs. Things will not work.

Is there a direct download link? My App Store is playing up.

i wonder if everything will work out in the future for those who used the trick of deleting their public beta profile yesterday to be able to get the dev beta 4. (like myself )

i.e: if we re-install the profile will we be able to update to public beta 3 seamlessly ?

I feel like the sync issues are resolved, meaning that if I open an email on another device it doesn't show as unread in Mail forever until restart like before. So those issues are fixed I think, but the app itself is not stable. It has crashed on me a few times, I have had to force quit a few times, and it will get an error occasionally deleting or moving an email.

I have experienced some hangs, unable to Shut Down normally sometimes, some Finder folders show some digital jibber-jabber like Applications and takes a few clicks to make it show normally. FCPX doesn’t work, but Aperture, iMovie, Photos is OK. Installing PB2 and see what gives.

FCP X works perfectly fine here!

Hopefully my question doesn't get lost in the sea of off-topic Yoda posts, but..

Does anyone know if apps being submitted to the app store of iOS 9 features? Or if they're allowed to include those? I know in previous years that was a big no no, but with them releasing public betas, I'm wondering if that's a thing of the past now.

Specifically, I'm wondering if the picture-in-picture might happen for YouTube, Plex, Netflix, etc before the fall*

*Obviously this depends entirely on the developer as well.

Outlook 2011 is still not working for me - the app hangs and won't download. I've tried re-indexing and doing all the trouble shooting, jus hangs and I have to force quit.

And Outlook 2016?

I installed beta 2 and am still experiencing WiFi issues where the connection just drops and the only way to resolve it is to restart the phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Nothing that actually supports new APIs or features from iOS 9 is allowed to be out until iOS 9 is actually out publicly (or at the very least until the GM is available).

PB2 fixed a couple of bugs that I reported. In Safari, it didn't show the Details button on the Preferences page, Privacy tab, to allow you to delete individual cookies. It does now. Also, The Logos Bible Software would not run on previous versions, but is fine now.

I know, both of these are earth-shattering headlines, but at least progress is being made.

 

[Bishop200]

Anyone else having wifi issues with Safari but not Firefox?

Same. Stuck at 108MB ... Force quit, refresh check, rebooted ... all the same. Just going to clear the cache

On iOS 9 Public Beta 2. I'm finding a USB keyboard lags a lot compared to Beta 1. There is quite a delay between typing and display. Some keystrokes are repeated also. My iPad Mini 1 was fine under Beta 1.
