Great

I'm curious what this is all about.

1 change I have noticed is that external NTFS hard drives are now showing in disk utility. Finally!!!

It's been stable on my mbpr for the last few weeks as a daily driver.

So i would be ok putting it on there? Just dont Want to risk losing files and pics and stuff.

Meteorological fall starts at 1st September... And in some parts of the world summer straight goes into winter... As on the North Pole for example ;-)

There is never a winter in Cupertino, CA.

They go from an April, May, June, July, August, September, October SUMMER to a November, December, January, February, March 'It's a little chilly outside, I'll wear a light jacket, sometimes'.

Just bought an imac A month ago. Wondering if tthis newest beta is stable enough to put on my main imac?

I've been running El Cap on my 2012 MBA and 2011 iMac since DP1. Haven't had a single issue that would affect my day-to-day operations on either of them. I made a Yosemite backup on both and did a clean install of DP1 on both and have done delta updates since.

Don't expect any ios 9 today, OS X have a different release date than iOS, remember last year Yosemite was released October 16, more than month after iOS

Can't sign up for the el capital beta right now. :-(. Page is down, says we'll be back soon. How long will this be like this? I am guessing its because of the new beta that was released today.

Come on Apple! OS X Public Beta update before iOS?? The current beta is crashy AF.

Zero crashes at iOS 9, El Capitain can use an update however........

This doesn't normally happen. My download is seemingly paused for eternity as well

According to the rumors,Deep Press (Force Touch) won't be available until 9.1

What? That's the funniest thing I've read in a while. Force Touch is coming to the 6s and 6s Plus. Force Touch isn't software.

No problem for me.

stable on mine too, there are very little issues so I've been using it on my main computer.

 

[Mlrollin91]

No no no!!! There will NOT be a sixth beta. I'm not sure how many times I've said this within the last few days. iOS 9 GM is out on the 9th.

The reason we're still seing beta's for OS X is because that isn't out until October.

I've been saying it since the day beta 5 dropped!!

 

[GatorGhost]

Safari was updated to version Version 9.0 (11601.1.56) on the PB

 

[SMIDG3T]

I've been saying it since the day beta 5 dropped!!

I said it then too but the past few days I've said it a lot!!

The Beta is still far too buggy, they could do with stabilising it before adding new features.

Those of you waiting on iOS 9, I wouldn't hold your breath...

Given the lack of iOS 9 betas, I can only assume t's at a point where they're ready to add Force Touch but can't until new hardware is released.

I had the exact same problem. Here's what I know:

I was on an EE SIM only plan.

Phone battery dropping so fast you could see the percentage drop in realtime. Phone was always dead in 2-3 hours after a full charge.

Using Instruments it was clear that the commcenter process was the cause. It ran at 100-110% cpu continuously regardless of whether airplane mode was on or off.

Rebooting the phone made no difference.

Airplane mode made no difference.

Removing SIM card BEFORE rebooting the phone fixes the problem but then you have no cellular. Removing the the SIM card by itself without a reboot won't fix it.

Replacing the SIM card with a new card made no difference.

Replacing the SIM card with a new card for a different account fixed the problem (I switched from SIM only plan to a contract).

So the problem is related to a carrier specific setting which correlates with commcenter being the culprit process. I don't k ow whether it had to do with the APN differences between the SIM only plan and contract plan OR if my SIM only plan had some carrier settings (wifi calling maybe) that confuses commcenter. I'm too scared to turn on wifi calling now that I have my phone back. I don't think that's the problem but if it is I know that turning it off after turning it on doesn't fix the problem.

So definitely carrier/account related which is why not everyone is experiencing the bug.

It's funny you should say that. My plan is EE SIM only too.

It's a Beta! Therefore bugs & quirks are expected.

App Store keeps dropping connection while I am downloading PB 6

Are the servers busy?

 

[seamer]

Hm intriguing. I just had a hard crash/automatic recovery after installing the PB. Most unusual.

 

[kometen]

Great

Terminator in plural?

 

[nrdpxl]

Adobe CC AE, PS, Ai working on this version?

 

[lagwagon]

No it isn't. Public Beta 6 is build 15A278b.

They're still the exact same. They just change the build number by one digit to differentiate between the two (DP and PB)

 

[lagwagon]

Your post is funny. Or silly. Of course Force Touch depends on software.

He never said it didn't. He's laughing at people who think FT isn't coming till 9.1, when the new iPhones will have it and are coming in a couple weeks.

Are people forgetting the iPhones will have it and thinking it's not till 9.1 because of the "rumoured" iPad Pro having it also and 9.1 coming with the launch of that?

Still can't set up a new Exchange account in DP8
