Apple Seeds 7th OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta to Developers, Reseeds 5th Beta to Public Testers

Am I the only one where AirDrop doesn't work?
Using mpbmid 14 with latest pb and ip6 with latest io9 beta. Can't find any of my devices with airdrop.

I have no problems with mail. Works great. In earlier builds mail crashes sometimes. Now it runs fast and stable.
 
Still problems in FCPX when editing clips with the mouse. The app crashes if you edit several clips - shorten or lenghten the clips. Seems little bit more stable then previous, but still very unstable. Suppose it must be the new "metal" implementation that not working yet. Supprice that Apple do not focus on this, as there is now way to release EC before this is stable. (tested on two mashines) so most likly not a particular to one maschine.
Honestly, regretting to do this beta testing now.

Not an issue with me, Apple gave me an avenue to "fix" this just the way I like - via a keyboard shortcut that I can use far faster than hunting for a little green widget (pressing Control-Z to execute the Window>Zoom Command, as I've posted in MR before), or via an application named XtraFinder. I'm still surprised at how many others are popping a nut over this - I moved on years ago.

I don't know UK isn't that bad, below is an image from tethering my phone to the macbook pro:

And this is an image from my provider and this was all while streaming a youtube video (both tethered and via network)

Installed OS X El Cap beta 5 last night on my Late 2013 MacBook Pro and now I'm experiencing periodic internet disruption. I'm using an 802.11ac Apple AirPort Extreme set to 5GHz to connect my MacBook Pro which is also equipped with 802.11ac. When my connection goes away on the El Cap b5 MacBook Pro I open up AirPort Utility and it shows a yellow dot by my AirPort Extreme for a few seconds then usually the connection goes back green and my connection to the internet resumes. This happened multiple times last night as I had an iPad continuously streaming video from Hulu on the same connection. I think it's fairly safe to say something is going on with the Wi-Fi drivers in El Cap b5 or possibly the drivers working on 802.11ac 5GHz. This was not a problem for me on El Cap betas 2 through 4 although I did once have it drop from the 5GHz network to the 2.4GHz network on its own. I will try re-adding the adapter and network in Network preferences a little later to see if this clears it up.

Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? Create a boot stick, clean install and see if the problem repeats itself.

Here is a quote from today's MacDailyNews:

"Full screen drives me nuts because you are locked into it then and takes a second or so to go into it and come out of it. Being able to resize windows on every side helps with that now, but I’d still like to see the green button work to fill the screen and not go full screen like it works now. The best option would be to let the user choose how they want to use it and have a pref setting somewhere."

So a quite from some tiny little blog site and 2 threads from here consisting of posts by the same small amount of people in both thread. Stop the presses!! It's overwhelming......

The following solution might help, keep in mind though that all your Finder settings are reset to defaults.

Delete the following file: Finder.plist which is located in: ~/Library/Preferences

~ = your User folder

* Better copy the file to your desktop first, then delete the original, if it didn't work put it back.
** You have to logout and back in again for it to work, actually relaunching the Finder should also work.

Thanks again. I used the terminal command for this as I am not able to use the Finder (and go to library/preferences). Unfortunately, this didn't help either. Really weird. I guess I have to use Windows 10 for the moment to write my Master thesis :S Thanks again!
 
They smoothed some wrinkles out of iCloud too. Was not able to confirm a iCloud code change on my mac before, but since the update this works. Fortunately.

I think some folks have an aversion to keyboard shortcuts. They're so used to clicking/tapping on an icon it just seems to much trouble to learn something new. Even if that learning is simple as two quick key strokes.

Not sure if it's an OS X beta issue or iOS 9 beta issue but iCloud syncing for contacts created in OS X contacts app aren't working. Edited a contact last night and it's still not showing up on other devices.

Mail now crashes. Help!

Reason according to logs: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException'

Yeah, mine does the same now. Maddening. I have removed/added all the accounts and it seems to be my Gmail account that triggers this. It's been fine on all prior betas though. Weird one.

I fixed it by deleting plug-ins. Have you tried that?

Not mail related but I've noticed only one of my gmail accounts syncs with iCloud concerning the contacts app. According to "accounts" both accounts are in use.

Not sure if it's related to google 2 factor authentication or not but it's weird. Also, contact edits on OS X aren't syncing back to my other devices via iCloud

Since we're all doing it apparently: This was while setting on my roof terrace connected to Wi-Fi (AirPort Extreme). I prefer Dutch ISPs over British personally. :p

I know this is late, but why aren't you a fan? Curious for your perspective (and because I'm not one, either).

Sorry for jumping in, but I'm a bit sceptical about the San Fransisco font because it is vertically stretched compared to the current Helvetica Neue variant. Anyway, the difference is not that big and I think I can get used to it…
