Boot into safe mode and uninstall/disable Virtualbox
 
Am I the only one with a Mac stuck at 2/3 update process ? Even rebooting changes nothing. :( (MacBook Pro Retina late 2012).

I think in the release notes it says only Xcode 7 works with the betas.

Well it does't quite say that. It just says there are compatibility issues:

"Xcode 6.x has known compatibility issues when run on OS X El Capitan. It is strongly encouraged that you use Xcode 7 when running on OS X El Capitan."
 
Anyone have an offline delta? i don't have broadband at the moment and used a tether off my phone last time and now it wont see the tether haha! (On here just now with Windows 10 on my iMac which actually works and hasn't killed my wifi)
 
Well you'll have to download it somehow.

The direct link to the delta is in apple's developer forums. Macrumors mods don't want us to post it here though.

So go to apple's developer forums for the delta direct link.

Go to:

See if you can get anything there at OS X Beta Tab.

Man, I was coding on Xcode 6.4 right before the update. After restarting, Xcode tried to reopen and crashed, so please: quit pretending to be a genius.

Plus, Xcode 7b5 will PROBABLY be out tomorrow at 2PM, but who knows.

Could start xcode 7 beta 4, but it can't compile an ios app (apple's foodtracker example), stuck at compiling 2 of 2 storyboard files.

I tried this in Terminal and the update showed and downloaded:

sudo softwareupdate --install --all

Found this via the developer forums.

If you have more than one mac and some ios-devices I can heartly recommend os x server on a mac connected via ethernet. This will cache any downloaded apps and updates so the next software update gets served from the local server, saves some time when updates are somewhat large.

How do you enable cut and paste? I used to use xtrafinder for that, which is no longer functional in el capitan.

I downloaded iTerm from https://www.iterm2.com/ to get paste working in el capitan again when paste didn't work in Terminal. In beta 5 paste works again. iTerm is nice but have tweaked Terminal for some years and it just looks better.

Running with this on an early 2009 MacBook (White), 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, and an SSD and wow, it's really great :) Very smooth and snappy...

Final release looks like it will be one of the best OS X releases so far....

What happened next was that ALL the links to the developer previews DP2, DP3, DP4, DP5 and DP6 are now in your thread in apple's developer forums. It's tidier that way to keep them in 1 place rather than 5 different threads.

Also these links are to the files on apple's server. That shade thingy is a copy and not from apple. It may have been tampered with. Better to use direct links from apple's servers instead - as they appear in apple's developer forums.

Extensions are a part of Safari. If it crashes because of them then Safari is not fine. This isn’t like a plugin that is executed on its own and has a separate process (even then it shouldn’t crash Safari, crash resistance has been part of Safari since Snow Leopard). Safari does crash in certain cases, I have had it crash numerous times throughout the beta, mostly due to the buggy save sheet. I also had to quit it several times due to glitches with the new sidebar and the pinned tabs. All reported of course.

How embarrassing for you that you don't understand what extensions are. Adblock is an extension. Clicktoflash is also an extension. Most third party extensions aren't updated to work optimally on a beta OS. Thats why Apple have a developer program, so third party devs can fix bugs. Anything else you need explaining to you? :rolleyes:

Good. Among 3 betas (iOS 9, watchOS 2, and OS X El Capitan), El Capitan is the buggiest and least stable by far (and probably the most complex update). I welcome higher beta counts to get the OS as smooth and stable as possible.

watchOS 2 is great if you ignore the kernel panics every 5 minutes.

Uhm… no? Safari executes extensions itself at runtime. They’re based on HTML and JavaScript. They don’t run in separate processes that can crash on their own, like Flash, Java and Silverlight. If an extension crashes Safari then there is likely something wrong with Safari itself. Thus if disabling extensions altogether is necessary to prevent Safari from crashing at all, then Safari is not running all fine.

Then why do third party extension developers update their extensions?

Add functions, fix bugs, improve performance, remove deprecated code? It’s still JavaScript and it can be done sloppily, but it shouldn’t cause Safari to crash. At worst Safari should log an error and stop the execution.

XtraFinder updated works fine.

Download their latest firmware and install it, then you need to temporarily disable SIP by booting into Recovery Mode (cmd+R):

Choose from the menu: Utilities > Security Configuration > uncheck "Enforce System Integrity Protection"

Then boot normally.

Considering Safari 9 is in beta at the moment, anything is possible. Similar crashes happened whist testing Yosemite betas. Turning off extensions fixed it. Once the GM was released, extensions were updated and crashes stopped.
