Apple Seeds First OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan Beta to Developers

Icaras said:
For years now I've been writing feedback to Apple at least a couple times a month on average and there's been quite a bit of it that's been addressed. I too suggest people use it more often because it certainly exists for good reason.

Does it fix devices reappearing in Finder's sidebar even after removing them?

Does it fix Mail mail's column shrinking problem?

Does it fix Mission Control thumbnails shifting to one side when the mouse cursor hovers over them after invoking Mission Control from a non full screen app?

Does it fix a bug where System Preferences quits after trying to add a new preferred language?

Does it finally fixes sluggishness in retina screens? Keep seeing a lot of dropped frames when switching spaces and fullscreen apps on my 13" mid-2014 rMBP.

I can't believe 10.11.1 didn't fixed any of this bugs. It looks like it was seriously an emoji update and nothing more.

Yeah it seems like it was just an emoji update...pathetic, did nothing on my 2015 MBPr
9.1 slowed down my iPhone 5s and added the emojis... pretty stupid

I know it's early, but does it fix the aliases not showing up in Mail issue? Or the weird auto brightness and contrast making the screen washed out issue?

All bug fixes are appreciated, of course. :)

Yea, forget new features, fix El Crapitan's crap first, Apple! I'm not updating to El Crapitan until 11.2 (as long they fix more of the bugs..).

Every release almost everything works great for me and I love it, come on here and it's a bunch of whiners that don't know how to use their macs, bugwagon jumping acting like their stupidity is the fault of the latest OS... The sky is not falling, El CAP is great, and the most smooth release in a long time! Seeesh, go use Windows for one week and you will come crawling back here banging on the doors to be let back in and promise to never whine again!!

and whining on a developer release thread at that!! It's a dev release!! FFS!!

I hope it fixes all the bugs on my MacBook Pro 256GB early 2015.. One of the bug is that airdrop does not work and can not detect any of my other Mac devices or iOS devices... When having a slow internet connection I rely on AirDrop since it 'magically' transmits files without actually using the Internet between devices.

Are you using Yosemite or Mavericks?

I am using Yosemite. I didn't have issues with Yosemite 10.10 but I guess I got too confident with launches but El Cap did not work very well. I restored back to Yosemite after an hour with El Cap (a few weeks back).
 
Well, I'm not an official Apple beta tester (developer nor public) but I do have the 10.11.2 beta installed on one of my hard drives in my Mac Pro. Yes, the 10.11.2 beta update came from Apple through the Mac App Store.

I do come across a major problem:

The 10.11.2 beta Mail doesn't fully upgrade my Mail folder archives. (What I did was to copy my Mail folder from the regular 10.11.1 hard drive to the 10.11.2 beta hard drive and have Mail (10.11.2 beta) upgrade it.) All I get is recovered emails - not the full mail database.

What I understand from Apple is that they want the beta hard drives to be clean from the beginning - not an upgrade from either Yosemite nor El Capitan general public.

Wonder if others have this similar problem.

Wish I could submit a bug report but I can't.

I am thinking of returning my new iMac because of that annoying bug. I can't go back to 10.11.0 because there was a special build preinstalled and I have no installer for that.

The normal build does not properly work on the new iMacs, even with the last beta of 10.11.1 my USB ports did not work correctly.

I have two days left to decide. Till now it did not ask for my iCloud password since the update to 10.11.2.

Returning a Mac because of a software bug? Are you serious? You can go back to Yosemite if you want. Hell, you could even go back to Snow Leopard.
Some people really need to learn how to use a computer.

If you knew how to use a Mac, you would know that you can't generally install a version of the OS earlier than the one it came with, and it certainly wouldn't support the new hardware that didn't even exist when older versions of the OS were current.

I am downloading now... will let you know once I reach 25% (then after each 5% step)! Download speed is dead slow though... not as snappy as Safari!

Have you tried it? The function of repairing permissions has been completely removed from El Capitan.
Click to expand...

Yeah, this is so that we don't have to read those crap tips all the way long when some problem occurs: "Did you repair your permissions?" But hey! We will probably continue to read those "pro tips" all the way along anyway... rumors never die!

Not entirely. There is just 1 version of el capitan which still supports it. You can repair permissions with a bootable usb of developer preview 1.

So I'm glad I kept my DP1 bootable usb stick. Usually old developer previews are pretty useless after public release. But this is an exception.

Rubbish. If you know how to do it, you can install whatever you want to. Very old versions might not run but Yosemite on iMac works like a charm. I did that by myself.
