Apple Seeds Second macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta to Developers and Public Beta Testers

vbctv said:
My progress bar never moved either, I posted a thread about it in the Mac forum. It stayed like that for about 30 minutes and I finally restarted the Mac and then it restarted itself again and then the update was installed when it came back on. This is the 2nd update that has done this now on both Mac Mini & Macbook air.

Sounds pretty much like the update on my MBA.

I was able to fix the issue on my MBA by resetting the NVRAM. Power up and hold down CMD-OPT-P-R
Then I stopped the betas and cleared the catalog using terminal.
sudo softwareupdate --clear-catalog

After that I reinstalled the beta profile and installed the update. It took like 3 times to get the update to download so that may be a Apple issue. It then restarted the computer, froze at the mark again but restarted after 5 minutes and went to the normal install screen with the install information below the progress bar.

I just rebooted after a few minutes and the updated continued then, I had the same problem with the first beta.

This beta fixed a problem I had with 10.12.0 - Timemachine backups to a Synology NAS device were failing. Now working as before in 10.11.X.

Good to hear - I've also been having NAS issues, but with WD Live/MyCloud. Hopefully this will sort my issues out too.
[doublepost=1475007919][/doublepost]Still hasn't fixed universal clipboard not working on my MBP. Is fine between iDevices. I've logged in/out of iCloud numerous times on all devices to no avail.
 
I hope they fix the problems i am having with "Shuffle" in iTunes, keeps shuffling from my whole library instead of my chosen album or playlist.
 
love it, my iMac is a computer again! this beta did wondering for me! :D

Did anyone find that the previous beta caused their computer to lock up a lot? Mine would completely lock up if left idle for any period of time, whether it went into power save or not.

Yes, but mine is all better now.

Then it's pointless except for executives who have their own office. Which is probably how it was tested - in Cook's executive office.

So you want a microphone that you can type into? Why stop there, the possibilities are endless!

- a camera that records touch input (ooohh look at that majestic "swipe up and right"!)

- a keyboard that responds to emotion (e.g., sadness over the absence of a microphone-keyboard)

I kid. I know you just want a chatbot Siri. Maybe Cook was jealous and didn't want anyone getting too attached to her.

Seriously, though, seems like it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to hack in the functionality but would probably just confuse most people to have another place you can type stuff (after Spotlight) with overlapping but different functionality.
 
Anyone else seeing the beta come up with the mountain lion logo?

For now, its AMD's cut down crappy mobile gpus while Nvidia is putting out full desktop cards in Windows laptops.

..Yeah, "crappy mobile gpus" which have not yet benchmarks, except for a slide saying that the mobile RX480M is powerful as a GTX965M but at 35W.
While Nvidia GPU are "full desktop" cards with TDP superior to 95W, in Windows laptops with the weight and the shape of a container ship.
:rolleyes:

This issue is driving me BATTY... ever since the first 10.12.1 beta it freezes when it restarts. Insanity. Like you, I just rebooted after a few minutes, but that's absolutely insane to have to do that.

My 2012 MacBook Air (4 GB RAM) has been locking up on randomly every few days since I installed 10.12 (GM 1, 2, and release). Not sure if it is a memory issue or whatever, but not happy. Hoping that gets fixed soon.

Just a heads-up, I installed the beta on both my primary desktop iMAc and my laptop (2015 MBP) and the desktop went fine but the laptop something seriously corrupted in the install, and now almost all of my non-apple apps fail on launch. Damnit what a pain in the butt.

Trying to install the 10.12 public release in effort to salvage... nope doesn't look like it's going to be possible. Dang it Dang it Dang it!

I REALLY HOPE THAT THERE'S NO (*10.13*) NEXT YEAR, LET'S GET ONTO (*11.0*) SOON!!!
 
Sooooo.. After reading this thread - net result being. Don't upgrade to Sierra because it's a choppy, buggy mess with little to gain.

Yep, that sounds about right for 2016 Apple!

Ugh, I'm now having to do a clean install. Unenrolled all my computers in the beta program, can't deal with this anymore, what BS

I have experienced this twice already with my 2015 MacBook Pro. I hope it's being addressed.

Yes....I did what you have done with the first beta. But this time I just waited and it installed on its own. Took about 30min. I don't think it is freezing....just not indicating that it is updating.

Oh weird... MAJOR issue if you ask me. I guess since the indicator didn't work I just assumed it was done and manually rebooted it just like the last time
