Reading this over and over is getting boring .... In my personal experience, Office 2016 worked fine through all the El Cap betas and only broke when the GM came out. What was your experience?
agreed. In betas worked great. GM comes out, not so much.
 
Have you tried something like Time Machine Editor? I use it because I don't need hourly backups....I have it set to backup at 12 noon and midnight, 6AM and 6PM daily. Just wondering if it still would work with El Capitan.
I tried Time Machine Editor. It made no difference. Time Machine would still not do automatic backups at the selected interval.
 
I really thought I was going to get to the end of this article without seeing EMOJI!!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Apple trollin' Microsoft by breaking Office?
That statement is completely idiotic. Office is an important product for Apple. Why would they intentionally break it and then fix it. Really. Trolls should be able to do better than this.

Apple's point of view:
Emoji > anything else
NOT TRUE!!

Other than that and requiring a few third party updates that have generally come out quickly 10.11 has been very solid for a .0 release.
Many sites indicate that el cap has been one of the most bug ridden releases. I would never update until at least xx.xx.01 and more likely .02. Don't complain if you lose your data.

I always have backups but honestly it is out of beta and I've run every .0 release of OS X since the first version any never lost data from being an early adopter, I've always found the new features or improvements worth the move and apps always catch up eventually.

The beachball gets on my nerves. Apple claims that El Capitan is faster but I'm not seeing that. Hopefully this update fixes that.
 
10.11.1 beta included a firmware update for my mid 2010 15" MBP.
I had some GPU related kernel panics under the latest 10.10 versions and under 10.11.0.
Seems to have been fixed since installing 10.11.1

5 year old MBP with aftermarket SSD and 8GB of ram is really flying under 10.11...

Yep, my experience was exactly the same. The 10.11.1 beta released this week does seem to have made Office 2016 much more stable again though.
 
Ugh, I guess this makes the complete OSX reinstall I did today because Excel wouldn't open (even after reinstalling) a waste of time.

Have you seen the stupid new Facebook emoticons?

I'm happy for every dollar Apple pays its designers.​

The first thing they need to adress is to fix the issue with Bluetooth tethering not working with iPhones and consequently Airdrop and other functionality not working either.

Spent over an hour with phone support before they acknowledged it is a known issue and all i can expect for my iPhone 6 to work is an update

Well El Capitan can stand at ease as far as I'm concerned until the update comes out. I'm not messing with chance of Word being busted.
 
for a clean install of El Capitan do i need usb installer? or i can do over wifi from disk utility
 
Anyone testing the beta know whether the slooooooooowwwwwwww SMB performance with Windows 2012 servers has been fixed? I've got several machines where I work running Yosemite and El Capitan and the users are pulling their hair out with how long it takes to access files on the network.
 
I just hope Apple fixes its own software, before Microsoft's.
Auvaltool in Logic X, for example. El Capitan broke all third party plugins compatibility that worked in Yosemite.
 
I'm having a bug that makes the system completely irresponsive for long amounts of time when a Safari tab is closed. I'm getting it at least once a day.

Been having it for 3 months now, reported it repeatedly with crash dumps. Apple knows about it and has it marked as a duplicate of another report that isn't mine, ergo this issue is at least somewhat widespread.

Yet it's still not fixed in latest El Capitan beta and presumably would not be fixed in 10.11.1.
 
Fingers crossed this update restores the hourly automatic backups with Time machine which stopped for me (and several others) since El Capitan. I won't have to remember to keep running it manually then.

Other than that and requiring a few third party updates that have generally come out quickly 10.11 has been very solid for a .0 release.
Just use Time Machine Editor. Problem solved.
 
How can an operating system that only has to run on five different models always need so many on going fixes?
I could understand it if it had to run on millions of iterations of different hardware like Linux or Windows does.
But five different models?
 
When Office 2011 for Mac runs and launches fast by at least 5 times, compared to Office 2016, something major is amiss. the fact is a newer version of Office should not launch slower and perform slower than a version 4 years old. It should be equivalent if not faster than Office 2011.
