Apple Releases Supplemental Update for OS X El Capitan Beta to Address App Crashes

[b.inazawa-fan]

Works fine… I have Windows 10 Insider Preview (x64) as a VM and have no issues before and after the update.

It started giving me errors that it couldn't load certain kernel extensions, but I figured out what it was.

Disabling rootless and starting a VM let it "install" the extensions it needed. It stays working after you reenable rootless afterwards.

EDIT: Wait it broke again. Bah, guess I'm leaving rootless off.

Duet Display is such crappy software.

I switched to Air Display 3 and it works so much better in every way.

It works wireless OR with wired connection, it's gives you better frame rate, it instantly comes back after wake from sleep, it doesn't constantly turn on "reduce transparency" like Duet.

Air Display 3 does everything better, I'm so mad I bought Duet Display first.

USB support in the DP is qualified as not feature-complete and Apple's offered that USB peripherals may not work properly - most of my USB peripherals aren't working properly yet. As to AD3, the roughly-equal number of 1-star and 5-star reviews and no Windows support whatsoever will keep me from spending my coin on that app. Duet Display works fine for me on 10.10 and any newbie's shill-like comments to the contrary won't sway me elsewhere.

I fixed my McIntosh USB audio issue of it dropping the audio for 1 second every 15 by connecting it through a different USB DAC with optical out which goes to the D100 instead of the USB directly. I also noticed it has something to do with having my music library on an external HD connected to the same hub but only for certain USB DACs. For example I have 3 different DACs: the D100 just doesn't work no matter what, a WA7 which stutters if the HD is on the same hub and works if playing from a file on the internal SSD, and the optical adapter which works from either internal SSD files or the external HD files. So the problem is a mix of two problems, one being the McIntosh driver itself (provided by apple) and the sharing of the USB connection having timing issues. Neither of these problems has ever happened before El Cap. Really hope they fix it by release.

Thanks for the re-assurance... here is to hoping they fix it before the release so I can get back to using my external HD + my McIntosh D100 DAC via USB soon.

Doesn't fix issues where most Java apps freeze upon launch (e.g., CrashPlan).

Its a good thing they release beta to the public, so that people like me can enjoy a better "final" version.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Yosemite was released as a public beta as well and we saw how that turned out. If they did listen to people back then, discoveryd would've never been included and developers would've been happier. I filed several bug reports about discoveryd and that went nowhere.

I don't think Apple really does anything with the majority of feedback, they only care about the dealbreakers, that's it. If something is crashing, they'll fix it. If something's not crashing, they don't care.

I've seen far more responsive and accurate bug fixing from Microsoft in their beta projects than Apple.

You installed a pub beta on a machine with apps that you need?!

Beta Rule #1: Don't install a beta of any sort on a machine you need. Virtual machines are nice for this purpose.

I haven't seen the list of known issues (or beta limitations) but is it expected for Time Machine not to be able to connect to 2TB Airport Time Capsule for it's backups? I am getting a 'server may not exists or is unavailable at this time.' popup for the disk. Also won't connect in Finder Devices either, over wifi or even direct cat5 cable. Airport Utility is able to erase the internal disk no problem just Time Machine and Finder will not mount it.

Update: Fixed it by deselecting 'Share disk over WAN' in the Airport Utility.
