Apple Seeds Second OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 Beta to Developers

[Michaelgtrusa]

I see no effort to improve the real issues here. Who's running the OSX team?!

 

[atlatnesiti]

It should be a release candidate rather than a beta, but the release tomorrow is probably gonna be beta-quality, so go ahead.

Yeah, can't see much point in downloading El Capitan tomorrow. Obviously it will be full of bugs, unless the release will match the current beta...

 

[n-evo]

That is the POINT... NOTHING Appears... No Updates Available !!!

Hysterical much?

 

[felt.]

656MB download to update from beta1 to beta2, here I go.

 

[Kulfon]

why people are in a rush to install OS that is far from stable? To beta test?

 

[wolfshades]

So let me ask: has anyone figured out where the "erase free space" tool is now found? I mean without going into terminal.

Whatever happens, this release may determine whether my employer sticks with Macs going forward or moves to Windows which makes me sad. Yosemite's abysmal SMB performance (especially with file shares hosted on Windows 2012 servers) is a serious productivity-killer and prompting re-evaluations about the value of the Macs. Hoping El Capitan addresses this and isn't all about emojis.

Maxing out my gbit ethernet over AFS/NFS over here. Updated working great.

Not showing up for me, sometimes it takes a day. I am very happy with 10.1.1 beta 1 so far so no big deal.

**EDIT** My bad - I thought it was the Public Beta not the developer version. I imagine that will be released in a couple days.

might be of interest.

you can also open the url for the developer catalog in a browser and search 'beta' and manually download/install the .pkg

trackpad feels snappier

I guess, but pity those of us who update friends/relatives systems. We give them the new OS, go away hoping not to have to do that again too soon and... We have to do it again.

If your friends/relatives need help updating, they don't need to be on the bleeding edge of OS releases.

There is NOTHING in my Developer Account !

You can get the direct links in apple's developer forums if the MAS method isn't working for you.

I'm not going to post the links here though because macrumors moderators don't like that sort of thing.

I can't upgrade until I get a clear answer to this.

Can you repeat the question

 

[johnnyenv]

Office 2011 on exchange servers. Any one know if this is sorted yet?!???

Hopefully some animated sexual emojizz.

AFS or AFP? And inkswamp was talking about SMB. Considering Apple officially made the move to SMB in 10.9, over AFP, the performance needs to be a LOT better. inkswamp is right though, SMB performance since 10.7 has been less than stellar, thanks to Apple deciding to eschew SAMBA and roll their own SMBclient and server. I mean BAAAD, with a lot of quirky bugs. I also have a few clients who came from the all-Windows camp that are looking to 10.11 as the make/break point for Apple; if 10.11 doesn't fix a substantial number of nagging bugs (Finder issues, Mail issues, Calendar sync issues), they'll all likely end up back on Windows, thanks to Windows 10. It has been too long to wait with nothing but excuses from Apple on the Support side.

And that isn't anything any of us Mac users and Apple fans should be smug about.

(With the money Apple has, if they wanted to do what they did—move to a proprietary SMB client/server—they could and should have purchased a company with pre-existing, tested Mac code ready.)

I learned long ago to use cifs instead of the older smb in 'connect to server' and it works great on smb devices that are 2009 or better!

That's cool, thanks!

I wonder..is it the companies job to make your specific configuration work? or is it your job to create a properly working configuration. Windows 2012 can run NFS.

Only appears on non-encrypted volumes.

Could this be the quickest point release following a major OS release, ever?

Seems to be Apple's way nowadays, what with iOS 9.1 coming out so quickly.

I've got to warn you as somebody who's been running El Cap for a few weeks, there are quite a few bugs there and some are biggies (mouse cursor disappearing, Finder not updating when new files are added/created). I've been waiting for a second GM Candidate to appear.

I thought I was going crazy a few times when I'd download something and it wouldn't show up in Finder. I mean, how many times could I possibly scroll past the same file!

I'm irritated that this is a bug, but very happy that I'm not quite as incompetent as I thought I was.

New bootrom version installed with 10.11.1 beta 2. On my 13" 2012 mbp

I have had nothing but issues during testing. The worst of problem is right click not working in many apps and the it not responding to mouse clicks. CS is very unreliable. I have followed the updates closely and tried them with clean installs and upgrades. I have reinstalled about 4 times to check it was not just an anomaly. Be careful if you intend to update.

I don't seem to be smart enough to post this in the right place or even delete it.
