Notes is fixed here (i couldn't hit command-N, or select "new note" from the menubar...). all else: so far, so good...
I didnt update to beta 2, can i go right to beta 3, or do i need to install beta 2 first? (app store only shows beta 2 right now)
Did PB3 fix the external display resolution issue on the 12" MacBook? On Yosemite my 2K monitor works flawlessly at full resolution 60Hz, but with El Capitan couldn't get it to transmit higher than 1080p.
I've got warnings both while downloading beta3 from appstore and in 20 seconds after restart for installing it, smth like:
"OS X El Capitan could not be verified". And only 1 option - restart computer.
After restart appstore suggests to download it again, already tried up to 3 times, same issue.
Any suggestions how to fix it?
I have clean installed PB1 which was updated to PB2 with no issues.
Thanks!
UPD
On the seventh try it downloaded it correctly and installed, phew...

Much like the patch that was released for B1 my computer hangs at the restart screen (desktop cleared, dock and menu bar gone).
Any ideas how to get around this?
EDIT: Fixed now.
A quick PRAM reset and it worked like a charm.

I noticed a few settings that reset to defaults, such as sidebar, and on one Mac, the video settings for a third party display had to be re-entered.
So, I think it is reasonable to find that some settings might be reset to defaults.
And, quite likely that you might see custom keyboard shortcuts missing as a result
If you can't get the shortcuts to work now, can you tell us if they are system-wide (copy/paste, screen record, etc), or shortcuts for one app (which app?)
That would be for a developer thread, eh?
The Public Beta is at version 3.
The developer beta program is currently at version 5.
The two betas are approximately the same currently, but serve different audiences, and are on different schedules.
It appears they have reset to default. All of them are gone. No big deal. But I thought they were an iCloud thing so shouldn't they sync from the shortcuts I have on my iPhone?
for me, shortcut syncing between my laptop and mobile has always been flakey.
After installing DB5 (which is as close to PB3 as to be the same for most things) my shortcuts seemed to regress to some random earlier state. I renamed them on my iphone, waited for them to sync across then renamed them back. That's done the trick so far. No doubt they'll mess up again at some point.
Strangely, nothing is showing up for me in the Mac App Store Updates section. It just says No Updates Available.
I've tried rebooting, refreshing, force quitting processes and restarting MAS. Nothing seems to work.
I'm avoiding messing with SystemVersion.plist. It seems a select few just cannot access the update
Try re-adding the catalog URL:
Now try searching for updates in the MAS.
Code:
sudo softwareupdate --set-catalog https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.11beta-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gzDownloading this: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...fd1npissrp0khptmtptsl155nqbhn/OSXUpd10.11.pkg seemed to do the trick for me.
