I have the same setup and 'issue' but believe the login screen will always display on the MacBook even El Cap!

Hey darkknight14, glad I'm not the only one :)

I never had this before until Yosemite, as Mavericks used to display the log in screen on the screen I set it too...

You should never install beta OS's over your main OS. Install on a partition or external drive, but never over your current system. Wait one more week, the release date will more than likely be a couple of weeks away.

Cry wolf much? As long as you make a backup of sensitive files and have the time to do a reinstall of OS X Yosemite in case something doesn't work as expected everyone is going to be absolutely fine. On top of that there's more than enough info available here on which apps work and which don't. Your Mac won't explode, no need to panic.

Have you not heard of the Lesser Spotted Macintosh explodius? Oh, yes it exists, even if only in the minds of the paranoid sub-species Homo informatics-incompletus.

Everyone knows the Macintosh explodius is PPC-based. OS X El Capitan won't run on it since it's Intel only. People should stay on topic, this isn't a thread about Mac OS X Leopard.

Are you sure it is fixed? Initially it looked ok for me as well however I find myself having the Exchange account jump into offline mode again and again.

I am still having the same Exchange issues I've had throughout this public beta. Unable to even add an account.

This is probably very true, but I can't complain about the latest iOS 9 beta so far. It's actually less buggy than my previous "stable" installation of iOS 8.4.1.

I completely agree, which is why I think it's at a place where most things are settled and ready to go before slapping new hardware features into it.

Oh really? I'm too chicken to test it out on my machine. I know I can VM it and everything, but curiosity would get the best of me want it on my everyday machine.

I guess "crashy" wasn't the best word to describe it because it's only crashed a couple times throughout the whole beta. But it is lagging like no other.

It is really not too bad. InDesign crashes frequently and I get a lot of beach-balling. Mail however is a pain the ****

Fast download (approximately 10 Minutes), on an old Mac without SSD fast installation (also approximately 10 Minutes), no problems yet since first reboot.

Now I am exploring if I find anything new...

Does anyone use a lot of Safari extensions? Ghostery looses it's configuration after every update. Is that an issue for all extensions? I have only three and in the other two I did not configure anything yet.

I have some issues with LastPass, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

Minimize/Maximise animations seem significantly smoother than DP7. They are like butter on this ancient GPU.

I wish there was a true maximize function. Fullscreen is nice for watching a movie, not great for work.
 
Mines still not showing in Software Update (nearly 24 hours now!) anyone any idea how to force it? :(

In Dock settings in the control panel, you can now set a double click on a window's title bar to maximise. Is that what you need?

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 ;-)

I'm pretty sure the warmest day of Summer at the North Pole would be colder than the coldest day of Winter from where I come from so relatively speaking, there is no Summer there.
FWIW did you mean geographical north or magnetic north? ;)
