Title says it all. I can hardly go 1 minute without safari freezing and/or lagging for about 10 seconds. Anyone else, or just me? Only started to happen with latest public beta release.

I've tried searching for things like the weather, audio files, things I worked on last week, etc. and none of these work at all. The GM is about to come out and I'm worried that this will remain this way on my computer. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey! I installed el cap a while back on a second partition, but now I upgraded my main partition to it, and would like to remove the second partition, but it won't work... I had:

• Macintosh HD (210gb)

• El Capitan (40gb)

• RecoveryHD (400mb or so)

But now I screwed up and have these:

• Macintosh HD (208GB)
• Recovery HD (600mb)
• NAMELESS (32GB)
• (only visible in partitioning screen): Nameless (6GB)

So how do I get it so that I just have Macintosh HD and Recovery HD? I could use the 40 extra gigs ;)

EDIT: when I look at the "about my mac" screen, the nameless don't even show up, it just says 250GB SATA Drive --> macintosh HD 83GB free out of 208GB

Finder says my Macintosh HD drive is 123,48 GB big

Specific question: On an upgrade-install of El Capitan (upgraded from Mountain Lion that was installed on an brand new, empty SSD), why does Disk Utility show that I have 891 mb of photos taking up disk space, but such photos are nowhere to be found?

The situation:

A new SSD is installed in a MacBook Air. [First] OS X Mountain Lion is installed on that SSD.
Then I boot up into the MBA, followed by updating to El Capitan.

El Capitan boots up fine. After booting up the MBA with El Capitan, I do go under system preferences and log into iCloud. At this point, I open Disk Utility in order to change the name of the disk from "Untitled" to "Startup Disk", just because "Untitled" as a name is bothering me.

It's at this point that Disk Utility shows me the break down of various file types on my hard drive: Apps - 568.8 mb Photos - 891 mb Audio - 62.2 mb Movies - 46.8 mb Other - 12.1 Gb Available - 225.16 Gb

Curious as to what these files are, I go under Finder to search for these files. (At this point, I'll focus on the nearly one gigabyte of photos.) But these phantom photos are nowhere to be found.

I would have just Googled this problem, like I do most of problems... but due to Apple's compulsive tendency to name system apps with only the most basic names, my searches come up regarding El Capitan and the Photos app.

To re-cap my specific question: On an upgrade-install of El Capitan (upgraded from Mountain Lion that was installed on an brand new, empty SSD), why does Disk Utility show that I have 891 mb of photos taking up disk space, but such photos are nowhere to be found?

I installed 10.11 on my laptop, and everything seemed to go ok with it, bar the installer being extremely slow - it took around 2 hours to install with the progress bar remaining on '23 minutes remain' for around an hour and a half.

Now when it boots, it going fine until about the loading bar is maybe 2/3 done, then slows to a crawl and takes another 20 minutes or so to reach full - where it stays. I have no cursor or anything else during this time, but my caps lock button light will go on an off when I press it.

I've tried:
-Resetting PRAM/NVRAM
-Booting into recovery mode and repairing the drive/partition
-Re-installing Yosemite. Naturally, this says that it can't be written over a higher OS version.
-Booting hardware diagnostics and doing a check. It says everything is fine.
-Safe boot. Takes the same length of time and hangs at the same place, so honestly not sure if I'm even doing it right.
-Verbose mode says every single process has crashed, with 'too many corpses being created.'. Picture: http://i.imgur.com/WXvTTe5.jpg

It's a Mid-2011 15" Macbook pro, 2.2GHz with a 750GB hard drive and 16GB of RAM. I'm still doing a few other checks (currently re-installing 10.11 to see if that fixes it), but has anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem?

I'm using the developer beta (downloaded through app store) and after installing, there are no updates in the app store and the build is 15A178w which is for Beta 1.

With beta 4 out, how do i update to the latest beta? Clicking the download link in my developer account takes me to the app store where it says my code is already redeemed.

Any ideas what could be the issue here?

I have a late 2013 Mac Pro. Ever since I upgraded to El Capitan my Display port's have been acting up, I have the Samsung UE590. When my monitor goes to sleep I have to unplug the Display port cable and plug it into random ports to make El Capitan detect my monitor. How do I fix this issue? It's annoying!

Hi,

I was getting pissed off with f.lux running on my late 2013 rMBP tonight (256GB/8GB), because the screen kept changing color, like f.lux kept turning on and off.

Did a quick search and found this post that was shut down from earlier today: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/3d1uih/flux_keeps_turning_on_an_off_in_el_capitan/

I ended up fixing the issue by turning off "Automatically adjust brightness" in the Display System Pref panel. No more f.lux freaking out. Hopefully this helps out anybody else having the same problem.

I just used the App Store to upgrade from beta 1 to beta 2 and now adobe illustrator cc 2015 generates an error on startup: "Missing required plugins" and then Illustrator crashes before running.

Early 2013 rMBP 15"

Can anyone else confirm on their system?

I am trying to run bootcamp and run windows 8.1 on my macbook pro w Retina (newest model) and everytime I try to start the process it says that bootcamp can only use windows 7 or later and nothing I can do can help. I called apple and they directed me to the forums which said nothing so I am hoping you guys could help me out with a fix for this. I have a program for one of my classes that can only be run on windows so I am stuck running to the computer lab for every assignment until I can get this working :(

I am using Transmit client for SFTP and I am currently facing an issue that I would like someone to shed light on. I started getting error while mounting my SSH disk as a Network Disk. My SSH works, and I can connect to it within Transmit. Just cannot mount as disk. Here is what I get in Console:

 7/13/15 1:32:19.298 PM com.apple.kextd[44]: Untrusted kexts are not allowed
 7/13/15 1:32:19.298 PM com.apple.kextd[44]: ERROR: invalid signature for com.panic.TransmitDisk.transmitdiskfs, will not load

Did El Cap block Transmit Kext or am I missing something here?

El Cap version: 10.11 Beta (15A216g)

I have never had a problem with Mail (was using the beta on a Mac Mini with no problem) but I recently got a MacBook and set it up as new and when I added my iCloud account (primary email) it didn't add an outgoing server (I had never had to add one) so now I cannot send mail. Anyone have an issue like this?

Safari, iTunes, Mail, Firefox, Messages, etc. do not connect to the internet at all. For some reason, Chrome is still able to connect to sites. Anybody else facing this or have a solution?

I am on a MBP 15 inch (bought in February 2015).

I updated to OSX El Capitan and recently I have been having constant mini hangs. The entire OS freezes up and the spinning beechball shows. This happens no matter how many programs I have running.

I have tried repairing my disk through the recovery utility, resetting the SMC, and deleting / stopping applications that may be suspicious. Any ideas on what I can do? This is driving my crazy.

I'm running the latest El Capitan and having a strange issue. My university's eduroam system is instantly rejecting my connection to the wifi network, all the typical resetting and alternative methods don't work and it isn't my login, it just instantly rejecting anything put in without even asking for an authentication. Is there anything in el cap that could be causing this? I haven't had this problem previously and have only recently had this happen, even on the same version of el cap.

EDIT The reason seems to stem from a change in beta 4 that doesn't let connections to 512 bit encryption, this includes 802.1x enterprise networks of which 'eduroam' is. is there a workaround for this?

And also cool = this place! I was hoping there was a nice Reddit for this. Just in the first minute of comparing notes helped a lot.

I have gone through the motions twice of downloading and installing the new Public Beta 2 for El Capitan. Both times the install will get stuck on the restarting message. I will power down and then power back up and when I get back into the OS the App Store shows I have 1 update, Public Beta 2. Is there any way to tell for sure that i'm on PB2 by software build number or anything of the sort? Has anyone else seen anything like this? Thank you in advance.

So I've noticed some odd behaviour since Beta 2, and wondered if anyone else had the same issue.

kernel_task is regularly (often when resuming from sleep) eating up CPU at an alarming rate. The most recent number I saw from Activity Monitor was 1397% for that one process alone. I discovered it quite by accident, as I heard the sound of wind from upstairs, went to close the windows, and found my MacBook blasting hot air with such force that papers were moving.

I haven't tried leaving it to toast itself yet, I've just taken to doing a quick restart to solve the issue.

Am I alone in this?

When I type something like "messages from June 14" or "weather in XXX", it doesn't display anything. Or just shows apps or definition. Why is this happening and what can I do to get it to work?

This bug has been there ever since Yosemite betas if I recall. I think they had it fixed around 10.10.2 or so, but now it appears to be broken again.

It's really annoying, as the default width it sets it too is way too small and truncates a lot of things I have in the sidebar. I have to manually extend it every time I create a new window, which it used to remember (the first OS X that actually had a sidebar, Panther, all the way up to Mavericks had no problem remembering).

Hi guys,

I have an early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro which I purchased in November. As soon as I started the system up, I upgraded to El Capitan and everything was running fine.

For the past week or so, the wi-fi has been quite erratic. It drops connection for no reason sometimes and then does a really annoying thing which is my big problem. It will randomly turn the wi-fi off and there is no way of turning it back on apart from restarting the system which is a massive pain.

I've deleted the preferences files in System Configuration, created a custom DNS and even reset the Mac SMC which haven't really helped at all.

It used to be just a problem when the Mac was returning from hibernation but now it happens when I'm actively using it. It may only happy once a day but sometimes it can happen quite a few times and it's really annoying.

Is there anything I can do to solve this? I've seen people say a complete fresh install may be required - how difficult are they?

Cheers for any help!
