The entries I put in the list are still there. Frankly the thread would be most useful if everyone edited the list to add their findings rather than make the thread 8 pages long.

A few hours before being formatted today, I had successfully edited the list and added information about a few apps I've tested, namely: Prizmo, AppDelete, Webcam Settings, OpenGL Extensions Viewer, PopChar, Audio Hijack, DiskWarrior, and iMazing.
Now this information disappered in this newly (un)formatted list. Somebody really managed to make a total mess of it.

I viewed the history. I couldn't see where your edit added "Prizmo" and didn't check for others. So it really did disappear!

Thanks for validating. I managed to get a hold of v 5.2.3 (537) & it as well still has the same issue. Given it's release was late May I can see why, so as you mention, we'll need to just await an update from the Pulse Secure folks.

So, I grabbed version Junos Pulse 5.0.15 and it works for me. If you are desperate to get connected, rollback to the anything between 5.0.3 and 5.0.15 and get connected. Some admins present upgrades to the 5.1 or 5.2. But, depending the corp policy, you can ignore the upgrade and get connected.

This is my workaround until the properly fix it. Looks like a change from 5.1 and higher causes the issue with the service not starting.
 
Anyone have any good alternatives for Fluid apps on Sierra? It was becoming pretty dated anyway (lots of "this browser is no longer supported" messages from sites) so it's probably time to look for a replacement...
 
iMovie HD 6.0.4 does not work with macOS Sierra. But version 6.5.1 DOES! Not many people know about 6.5.1.

And of course one will want some version of 6, not '08, '09, '11 or 10 because 6 is much better.

You can get 6.0.4 to work too but it requires a bit of hacking and is buggy anyway.

QuickTime Player 7 does not open Export window (only way to convert 4GB+ .CAF to AIFF). Crashed in b1, so an improvement I guess?

Save for Web in Photoshop CC (not 2015) crashes on save in b2. Worked in beta1, but had extreme lag in the save dialog box (2fps).

I just installed beta 2 today and slowly testing apps .. Having same issue as earlier poster with the Wacom tablet .. Pressure and tilt doesn't work .. But clicking and drawing does.

Extensis' Font Suitcase isn't updated for Sierra, but as I was setting it up as recommended by their best practices guide .. And it appears some of the preferences that were previously in Font Book are no longer there.

Important: Before using your font manager, you need to disable some of OS X’s built-in font management features.
1. Start Font Book (located in the Applications folder on your hard disk). Choose Font Book > Preferences.
2. Clear the box labeled “Automatic font activation.”
3. Clear the box labeled “Alert me if system fonts change.”
4. If there are multiple user accounts on your Mac, you will need to clear this setting for each user.
5. Close the Preferences dialog and quit Font Book.
​
Font Book's preferences window now looks like this:

With no option to disable automatic font activation ..

Anyone who has tried these apps on Sierra Public Beta 1?

- TypeIt4Me
- Textual (IRC client)
- Radium
- Wifi Explorer
- MacTracker
- Copied
- Gemini
 
None of my Office 2016 apps are storing recently opened documents, but apart from that they work well.

SIMBL doesn't work. When I try to run the agent manually I get "You can't use this version of the application SIMBL Agent.app with this version of macOS". This means I've lost SafariStand and Safari Cookies.

(I don't know if this counts, but) The Sims 4 doesn't work (well it does, but the mouse glitches out, as well as the graphics are all messed up).
 
Photoshop CC 2015.5 crashes here every time that I try to export an image using "Save for Web". Previously working normally on beta 1.

Care to expound on why? I've been using CMM for years and love it. Having easy menu bar access to my system status is nice as well. I realize that SOME of the space management features in Sierra make CMM a bit redundant, but it still doesn't quite do everything that CMM can, and the interface is def not as clean.
 
Tested my games today to see for anyone who plays these on their Mac:

- World of Warcraft: Warlords
- Diablo III
- StarCraft II
- Hearthstone
- Heroes of the Storm
- League of Legends
- Sims 3
- Team Fortresss 2

Each seemed to work as normal.

Happy Gaming
