Apple Seeds Fourth OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan Beta to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan update to developers and public beta testers, one week after releasing the third OS X 10.11.5 beta and more than a month after releasing OS X 10.11.4, the fourth update to the El Capitan operating system. OS X 10.11.5 has been in testing since April 6.

The fourth beta of OS X 10.11.5 can be downloaded through the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store or through the Apple Developer Center (developers only).

OS X 10.11.5 focuses on security enhancements, performance improvements, and bug fixes to address problems that have surfaced since the release of OS X 10.11.4. As with prior betas, the changes appear to be minor in scope, and no obvious outward-facing tweaks have been discovered in the first three OS X 10.11.5 betas.

We'll update this post if any new features are found in the fourth beta.

I had an odd wifi issue where I'd have to restart my MBP to fix it since the prior public beta. Hopefully this fixes it!

Any public beta testers seeing the OS X 10.11.5 beta 4 update?

Someone could verify what is the time zone of Caracas, Venezuela in this new beta? Because the country changed its time zone (from -4:30GTM to -4GTM) last weekend but iOS and OS X don't recognize the new one.

Ha, many people experienced this on Yosemite, so it's not that odd.
Actually, (OS X)Yosemite sucks.

Sorry, can't say I have the developer profile. But the 699 MB download was extremely fast. I have to reboot now. iOS is already finished.

My Mac AppStore still "checking for update"... and just now it shows up... so public is there too.

It says it's 13.11 now. 19.11 in Europe, so no half an hour difference.

Hey. "Filesystem not found" issue fixed?
I must have sent over 6 similar report last month. The latest one happen today morning.

And long gone stable Mac OS X from 10.11.2.

Every time i see a thin laptop on the main page here (before i read the headline), i cross my fingers and pray it is the new Retina MacBook Air...
Bummer ... :/

Thanks! Updated the post to reflect that it's also for public beta testers.

Till now I haven't seen any bug fixes related to Finder. These betas are fast becoming irrelevant.

 

[Erdbeertorte]

No changes in Disk Utility. It's always the first thing I look at. Why can't they even manage to let us resize the window???

File a radar at http://bugreport.apple.com ... issues might not even be known unless someone reports them.

You might have to wait until 10.12, or....never.

 

[VMukhtarov]

Do you still see this error in logs?

com.apple.AddressBook.InternetAccountsBridge[1245]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect() failed path:/var/run/mDNSResponder Socket:4 Err:-1 Errno:1 Operation not permitted

 

[rybak17]

What is this iTunes icon?

 

[MikhailT]

com.apple.AddressBook.InternetAccountsBridge[1245]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect() failed path:/var/run/mDNSResponder Socket:4 Err:-1 Errno:1 Operation not permitted

fixed or not in this build?

No, it is not. Have you filed a radar yet?

 

[vmachiel]

Let's hope the webkit/graphics freezing thing is fixed.

 

[Vashetti]

Any public beta testers seeing the OS X 10.11.5 beta 4 update?

Yup, I've got it (UK).

Downloaded super fast but took a little longer to install than the last beta. No idea if that reflects the scope of underlying changes.

 

[VMukhtarov]

No, it is not. Have you filed a radar yet?

Nope. I hope Apple will see it in the diagnostic reports. Something wrong with synching.

Yes normally I don't like new major versions every year if the old ones are not finished yet. But now I am hoping for a Developer Beta 1 of something really new next month at WWDC.

What diagnostics reports? These console logs aren't submitted to Apple automatically, diagnostics reports are for crashes or hangs, which should be submitted automatically as long as you've enabled it.

File a radar if you want Apple to fix this, they may need to get in touch with you to figure out what the problem is. Chances are these are related to your Google account settings that they need to trace down. I suspect if you disable Google's account in Internet Accounts, it'll stop the endless loop.

Please do not make any assumptions and file these radars, Apple aren't getting all of the information they need.
