Please reduce the beach balls and apps that don't seem to load. Messages just bounces in the dock until I force quit and reload, even after a fresh install.
I miss Yosemite.

if i were you, you should open it up if possible. sounds like there might be something there
I never see the loading bar in the indexing box, but that's the least of my worries. Apple ignored my reports about MAIL corruption, Bluetooth crashes that required shutting the machine down. So what did Apple do in response to my constant complaints. My Apple ID no longer works correctly. Sure, I file reports but they fall on deaf ears. No response. AND, publicly as announced here, they renounced any support for Mac models including mine that are in the system list for Macs certified to run El Capitan! If that's not lame I don't know what is.
It looks like I'm going to have to do another complete reinstall again from Mavericks.
THANK YOU MAVERICKS! Without lowly Mavericks, I would have probably lost THOUSANDS of important emails.
This update has solved nothing about my Mac not be certified with my Apple ID either nor does it fix any mail problems.
Looks like I'll start from scratch all over again. Apple has really let Mac OS go. It's sad really. And worse yet, they don't seem to care. :-(

"Haha, no" – Apple
It's so weird they won't even tell us what changed. Have the burrito emojis been made sharper or what?
Anybody got that problem, that the Finder is crashing and can't be restarted? Only hard shutdown 
presumably when waking from sleep/hibernation the finder crashes and noticed everytime when another update hit the mac app store - every process is down except for Finder - which is stated with "application not responding".

I've not run into any of those issues. But that means nothing, as every machine is different.Anybody got that problem, that the Finder is crashing and can't be restarted? Only hard shutdown

I didn't think so, but wanted to get some advice. It is not under warranty, but I am going to the apple store this afternoon for them to take a look at it.

Yes, I tried, but they use these proprietary screws now that I don't have a tool for. I am just going to bring it into the store for them to fix. I don't see it being anything major. I just found it odd that it happened once I installed the beta before this one.
This has been driving me crazy as well, but this beta appears to fix the issue.
I pay comcrap a lot of money for the superfast turbo speeds, but in actuality I feel like I am trying to drink a milkshake through a cocktail straw, so I never talk about my downloads -- its painfully embarrassing.
Yes I have the same problem , also connecting to my NAS via finder is almost unusable. I can only get it working by using "connect to server" instead.Anybody got that problem, that the Finder is crashing and can't be restarted? Only hard shutdown

I think your fan is going to be fixed if you open the damn thing and see with your own eyes what's clicking and why. Waiting for a software patch to fix a fan hardware issue... I rest my case.
not in my experience. TBH, el cap .0 was better for me than yosemite .5, just minor annoyances.
I had no idea and only limited experience with fan issues. I tried opening it up and taking a look, but do not have a tool for their proprietary screws. Apologize if it bothers you to ask a stupid question, but I just didn't know since it started when I installed 10.11.2 beta 1, thought that was possible more than a coincidence.
I had the same thought but I try to be more optimistic (which is very hard given the number of bugs in 10.11.2).
I'm afraid that is going to happen. At this rate I'm fairly certain it will take at least 10.11.4 or .5 before Apple fixes Time Machine failure to restore files that I reported during beta testing...
One can hope but I'm fairly certain hell will freeze over before that happens...
I had a similar situation and I didn't lost any emails because I tested 10.11 on external drive and stopped using it moment I noticed the Mail problem.
I'm going to stay in Mavericks for the foreseeable future because 10.10 and 10.11 have no benefits for me and both contain too many bugs and baffling design decisions.
It seems certain Apple no longer cares about OS X.
Aha, you mean the "core drivers" is two years old. Because the graphics driver Kernel Extensions often gets updated (i.e. a new version number) with every OS X update.
So, since I'm running the Nvidia Web Drivers with the GTX 970 I have in a Mac Pro (Mid 2010), does it mean I'm not using 310 series of drivers? I could of course check myself, but not at the compiter right now.
Edit:
Aha, interesting. I’m running running OS X 10.11.2 and If I compare the OS X built-in ”GeForce” kext with the Nvidia provided ”GeForceWeb” I get this:
Get Info String: GeForce 10.8.14 310.42.15f01
Get Info String: GeForceWeb 10.9.14 346.03.04f02
So definitely seems to be newer drivers if using the ”NVIDIA Web Driver”.

And this is exactly what's so sad about Apple's inability to put out OS's that "just work" any more. As much as I dislike Windows, both Windows and Linux run on a far wider range of hardware than OS X and they don't seem to have the problems Apple has on its much narrower (and tightly controlled) range of hardware with simple things like mail, USB, and network connections (all of which use long-standing international standards in their hardware and software interfaces).
[doublepost=1452186310][/doublepost]I see a lot of "I hope they fixed X" in this thread and very little actual information about things that have or have not been fixed. Any actual experience with this beta release other than how long it took to download? Or maybe the lack of input from people running this beta is due to the fact that the new beta has broken the ability to connect to the Internet??? Just saying ...
Actually I do have a feeling my Internet connection is a bit worse, more dropouts. Might be placebo effect though.
I think the issue you describe extends beyond optical drives. I had FireWire harddrives on the Thunderbolt port and USB harddrives also do this. My guess is ElCap changed the power level parameters to the ports, and certain activity causes the power levels to spike and drop the interface.
