Updated, all I have noticed so far is the beachball has changed 😳
I like the notes update allowing photos and sketches to be included and shared between devices
Downloaded overnight (3hrs quoted) and then about an hour to install and do post login stuff like email rebuild.
iOS 9.0.2 also released overnight
Downloading it now...if I'm not back in an hour send out a [s]search party[/s] genius 😆
9.0.2 on my iPhone now..
Again, looks the same.
I like not knowing whats going on..
Set it off downloading last night but didn't bring my MacBook pro into work with me today so it'll have to wait til tonight to start it downloading. Currently slogging trying to get my new watch to install ios2. My life this week seems to be full of updating all my devices!!
It's been brought up to speed. The earlier versions didn't even have unmount options.

Mostly bug fixes, so nothing should pop out at you.

Thanks bongohoohaa
I wish they would break out "other" into at least mail, would be useful across OSX and iOS
@Cody. Np. Any specific questions, just ask.
@jambalaya In my case I use Airmail, so not a major issue, but do agree it would be handy to know how much space is taken up by old email attachments etc. I guess in iOS they assume users will use the settings > general > storage and icloud useage > manage storage to see how much space mail app is using.
...which is hardly an elegant solution.
Can we ask for fixes too?
Ok, fix Calendar back to a one click entry into a day from the "month" view...
That'd help.. as is it seems a random case of double taps, single taps, random pressure and downright end of pen stabs 🙄
Sure. Write the issue on a postcard, and send it to:
I gotz problemz
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino,
California,
United States
They'll get right on it.
In the meantime, you on about Calendar for iOS or OSX?
Re IOS9
IOS 8 really screwed up mu iPad. It became very slow to react to anything ( esp in safari)and it use to freeze all the time in web pages / big data sites
So I jumped at IOS9 - now it freezes and crashes. ****ing excellent. So the iPad is a bit useless - but I guess they want me to buy a new one ...
Did you you do a wipe and restore, or just update?
Calendar on iPhone IOS9.0.2 (and 0.1) jut had an an issue with not being able to access "days" in the calendar when going from the Month view. Dunno why, before the update you could just tap the day you wanted to add an entry then add it.. Now nothing happens if you tap it, Jambalya said "double tap" and I've been doing that but hey, thats like random init. SOmetimes it works, mostly not and I have to then go into select the month and access it from there.. Also, for some reason when tapping a day to see an entry in there, again can't access the entry without resorting to the random tap/move to month view malarky..
WAPITA
OSX El Capitan installed. Not liking split screen, seems very un-intuitive and doesn't appear to work with mail which remains hidden behind safari for example.
I don't have to use it though, and haven't noticed any other differences really so can't grumble. It was a free update after all. Oh, the notes thing is great, about time it became useful!
Anyone running into problems running an external monitor on a MacBook? I can't get it to recognise mine at all and the forums saying it is an issue. Tried the (now hidden) 'Detect Displays' button in the "Displays' screen on System Preferences but nothing is coming up 🙁
Edit my above. I've no learned how to use split screen properly and it's pretty good 🙂
Took me 4 attempts to get it to complete a logon without hanging, but seems to be running smoothly for now. Applications appear to start faster. Considering its free, its not a bad upgrade.
Capture one: broken
Photoshop: usable
Wacom tablet: broken
Eizo screen calibration: working
focus stacking software: no idea
davinci resolve grading software: some issues
So thanks to the Guinea pigs it's a big NO from me until all the above are working faultlessly
Why do they have to keep on fiddling? Is it that difficult to develop something simple that 90+% of users require and just stick with it?
Updates this, updates that, it's putting me right off my breakfast. I do however still find iOS far more preferable to the MS operating system and its demands for daily, in your face, updates.
Stop messing about with it and make the basics work properly, is what I'd say at my first meeting in charge.
I quite like it. That said, I'd just sorted out a fresh install of Yosemite so my laptop was nice and clean and I haven't yet tried to set all my accounts/apps back up.
I'm on a late 2010 MBP and my machine is running faster than it has been for some time (although I suspect most of that is down to a good tidy up and fresh install).
Has anyone else had problems with it on a MacBook at it not recognising external monitors? I have a brand new laptop and neither output is working with external monitors. I am trying to identify whether it is El Capitan causing the problem or the graphics card is goosed.

It's been a while since you've used MS then as Apple seem to be outdoing them in the update stakes.

Definitely avoid Ubuntu, then! FWIW my Win 10 install at home just silently updates in the background, every now and then it tells me it's done something. Nothing like "daily demands".

Apart from the fact that software development is quite difficult, there's also the fact that marketing demands new and shiny things to keep interest - which means fiddling.
They've got rid of the dashboard. Give me back my widgets you bastards.
Dashboard - sys pref - mission control and change from off to space

Agreed...until I actually worked out what to do and now I find it quite good, even with mail.
Any one else finding Safari really really slow, like taking 20 seconds to open a web page that used to take 3 or 4 seconds?

Nope, mine seems faster now.
I didn't realise but think that time-machine was doing a full backup (200gb) after the install, so things were a bit slower. Since that's finished and I've done a restart everything is running perfectly.

Thanks for that. Don't know why they turned that off & left all my other prefs on.
np. They did the same in Yosemite iirc. It's almost like they don't want you to use it..
I haven't had a notification for this on my Macbook Pro (2014, running Yosemite) yet. Do you have to seek it out, or wait for it to come to you?
Scratch that! I've just had notification through of a couple of updates. Turns out they weren't for El Capitan, but there was an ad on the same page for it, and a linky.
@mikey I think they try and stagger the updates so if you are not a "fanboy" following the announcements they wait a while before prompting
Cheers Jam.
So, I'm guessing from the name, El Capitan, that it's essentially just an update to Yosemite (El Capitan being in Yosemite, of course), rather than a brand new OS: Is that correct?
Anyone know if the Inland Revenue stuff (basic PAYE) works OK ?
Thanks

Yup; much like Lion > Mountain Lion and Leopard > Snow Leopard, it's mostly about refinement. Worth noting the increasing similarity to iOS -
"The subtle difference in El Capitan is that we’re actually seeing new features come to both iOS and OS X at the same time rather than existing on iOS first and then trickling down to the Mac later. Many of the biggest, most noticeable changes here are the same ones you saw in iOS 9 two weeks ago. The new Split Screen multitasking mode, tweaks to multitouch gestures, changes to services like Spotlight , and overhauled apps like Notes all fall into this category. Others, like System Integrity Protection, are merely iOS-inspired."

Everything seems to be ok, running for a few days. Had some wifi dropouts yesterday but that's not uncommon and usually bt router related. Can't say I've noticed it's faster overall
Cheers drlex.
I've just installed it, literally a few minutes ago. The first thing I've noticed is a new icon, top right, that seems to be for display preferences. The other thing, and I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but the screen display looks a little more washed-out than before. Anyone else?
All up and running now but far too early to see if it's any different.
Does anyone know if you can revert to your previous OS via a time machine backup if you don't like it?
Cheers.
Yes you can I have just done it
Thanks, but that begs the question why?
Cheers.
Well, that was an underwhelming experience. You have to be a Mac nerd to know anything has happened!
@mikey display preferences on top status bar came with Yosemite, always been a bit tempremental on my Mini sometimes there sometimes not
Anyone else lost the ability to post to Facebook and Twitter from the Notifications thingummy?
