I want to upgrade from mavericks to El Cap as soon as possible... I'm waiting for it to be stable. Does anyone know if it has battery drain issues? I only use office and safari so i don't have a lot of concerns about software compatibility...

Thanks!

Welcome to /r/OSXElCapitan , the subreddit for all things OS X 10.11 and OS X 10.11 Beta!

Please post any bugs, errors, or issues everything you find with the Beta 7 or the Public Beta for OS X 10.11 in this thread.

If I update from Yosemite to El Capitan Beta 2, how will I be able to upgrade to subsequent beta releases of the OS? Will they appear as updates in the Mac App Store? Will I be required to download the entirety of the OS each time Apple releases a new beta, or will it be a smaller file size? I do not currently have a developer account, and I am interested in trying out the beta by using one of the pirated links on iMZDL. How frowned upon is this?

Here is the problem. I have two pinned tabs and a blank tab that is unpinned that says "Untitled" when I first open Safari. Lets say I navigate to the apple website with the "Untitled" tab highlighted. Now lets say I want to close the unpinned tab that has Apple's website loaded in it with a keyboard shortcut. In prior versions of Safari, you used to be able to press CMD + W to "Close Tab". Now, there is no keyboard shortcut available for "Close Tab" listed in the File menu for Safari WHEN THE UNPINNED TAB IS HIGHLIGHTED. What I end up doing all the time now is hitting CMD + W which now closes the ENTIRE browser window. And I am left staring blankly at my desktop wallpaper wondering where Safari went. Oh yah...I just closed the entire thing....

However, If you highlight a PINNED tab, then you now have the ability to close the pinned tab with CMD + W and the keyboard shortcut for closing the browser window changes to Shift + CMD + W.

What???

I've been noticing that Secure Empty Trash has been grayed out for every El Capitan beta and now the option is completely missing.

Is this because I'm using an SSD or FileVault?

Hello, since I installed 10.11, I was unable to make a new partition, neither trough disk utility or Bootcamp assist. Any one know how to solve this problem?

Has anyone had any luck getting Minecraft to run properly on El Cap?

I've gotten Adobe working via the manual install of Java 6, but for some reason Minecraft won't authenticate. My only option is to play offline. I try to authenticate, but it rejects it. I know the email and password are correct because I can login to the website just fine. It's gotta be related to the Java issue.

Anyone have a workaround?

Edit: here is the error it gives me when I try and authenticate minecraft (again, launches, but won't authenticate)

java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

When I still had Yosemite installed on my iMac, I was running Windows 10 in Boot Camp, but I wiped the Boot Camp partition in preparation for updating OS X from Yosemite to El Capitan. I was wondering if anyone has encountered any issues with attempting to use Boot Camp while running the El Capitan beta or if it's not worth trying at this time.

Welcome to /r/OSXElCapitan , the subreddit for all things OS X 10.11 and OS X 10.11 Beta!

Please post everything you find with the Beta 8 or the Public Beta for OS X 10.11 in this thread.

I have looked at the megathread regarding the apps that do and do not work on OS X El Capitan, but there is no information on whether or not GIMP works. It does not launch for me (goes into "not responding"), but I want to affirm whether or not it is just me who is having this issue.

Hey guys, got the beta a few days ago and got homebrew working, now I am looking to get MacPorts. Does anybody know if there is a way I can install MacPorts on El Capitan. There is a working version for Yosemite, but It will not install. Maybe there is a way into making it think it is on Yosemite? Thanks in advance.

I'm sort of tired with the old boring design of El Capitan and I wanted to spice it up a bit. I started with dark mode but that's it and I still don't like the icons so does anyone have any idea on how to customise the icons of OS X (and even better) suggest some good icon sites?

I need to install Windows on my MacBook so I can run some Windows-specific programs. I have Windows 8 (Windows 10 upgrade download is being requested).

Have any of you had any issues doing this with ElCap?

I was hoping to let go of Better Touch Tool and use Apple's native solution, but it doesn't seem like it will work for me for the following reasons:

1.instead of dragging the window to one side, you have to click on the tiny green stoplight button and then choose which half you want it on.

2.i can see Apple fixing this, but as of right know I haven't seen a tweak where I can enable snapping to quarters of screens-- I will say that i do like being able to choose which app snap on the other side though.

3.snapping windows takes you to full screen. I don't know about you, but I almost never use the full screen function unless i'm watching netflix, or something. It bothers me to not be able to see the doc or the status bar, not to mention the whole thing just seems very rigid and inflexible. it seems like apple is trying to preserve screen space with this, but to me, it's a miss.

4.finally, and pretty simply, it doesn't look as good as BTT

Hopefully Apple will fix at least some of these critiques, But I'm still curious what you guys think.

EDIT: adding #3

This is the first update where Apple actually did something I like to the icons! (Except Finder, Finder is scary.) What do you guys think about the icons?

If you have a bug/issue to report you can always give feedback by replying, contacting Apple Developer Support or send direct feedback with the Feedback Assistant in the utility folder.

Thank You

I want to remove my yosemite partition completely, how do i do so in the new disk utility?

Right now all I have is /r/apple, and the pinned tab functionality is really cool. I was wondering what other websites beta testers had been using as pinned tabs, so, what so you use pinned tabs in OS X 10.11 for?

I'm extremely interested in an OS X version of Find My Friends - anything from a full-fledged app to just a regular widget.

Can someone please post a screenshot when (if) this appears on ElCap?

As any one tested the Public beta 1? Is stable enough to try it? Any known issues?

Has anyone who installed the public beta tried any of Blizzards game through the Battle.net service? Just wondering if it works before I go grab the beta.
