PSA: OS X El Capitan final release on September 30.

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 Golden Master of OS X 10.11 in this thread.

I just upgraded to El Capitan 11.2, I'm liking it so far it is fixing many gripes I had with the POS Yosemite.

I still encounter a bug with spotlight, if I cmd+space then type the name of a program, the first letter sometimes gets erased. Eg: I plan to type mail, I type m then ma and then spotlight outputs to a

Is it happening to anybody else ?

I came across this article on how to reorder the spotlight searches, however my preferences look different from the screenshots. Is it possible to achieve the same results in El Cap? I'm on the last beta, by the way, not the GM yet.

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.

Ever since I upgraded to El Capitan, and especially since the most recent update, Preview becomes unresponsive more often than not. Is anyone else experiencing this? Solutions (besides using another viewer and PDF reader)?

I love mission control and they're just adding an extra step to see all my spaces at once, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Would you be interested in a tutorial on how to use flavours 2 (which is unsupported for 10.11) on El Capitan? Would it be too complicated? (you need to disable rootless/SIP and change your system version using sudo nano -w /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist). If you execute this command though, some apps won't work. This might include the terminal itself (and the sidebar of finder), so it's really not recommended for non-experienced users.

So here's the process in short:

• 0. back-up!!!!

• 1. disable rootless

• 2. sudo nano -w /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist change 10.11 to 10.10

• ! after this keep your terminal open

• 3. install flavours and themes

• 4. go back to terminal and change 10.10 back to 10.11

• 5. enjoy!

I'm very impressed with the start up times of Mac OS X El Capitan. I've tried it on Several devices iMac Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, But mainly on the Air 11inch 2015 model where most of the test where done. Loading time obviously is based off of you disc speed, but the flash drives got an impressive from power button to sign in is less then 7 seconds, even turn off time from shutdown to the mac actually being off is 6 seconds on average. This is a pretty incredible leap.

The bad The startup times are great and shutdown times, but i've noticed that Now there is a Profile Loading time.... lol, so this basically means that apple might have made the start up not load all the functions of OS X until the user signs into their profile. I found on average after the 7 second boot time it took almost 20 seconds to load into your OS X system profile, which means that its basically the same start up time as previous versions of Mac OS X.

The link to Developer Beta 8 has been removed, and a Sept. 9 post titled "OS X El Capitan 10.11 GM seed (pre-release)" for build 15A282b has been listed as "Coming Soon"

Hopefully we won't have to wait long!

Edit: It's live!

Is there a way to disable the favourites panel from popping up when my cursor is at the left of the screen (full screen mode)? I now realise I always hide my cursor at the very left and it's very annoying to have the panel pop up every time. Also, can I disable the search bar/suggestions from staying open when I have pressed enter? I don't want to have to click to hide it.

If you are not comfortable using Terminal, or afraid you may seriously screw something up, please DO NOT attempt to use this tutorial. Thanks to u/5HT-2a for helping me sort out issues as they came up! I AM NOT well-versed in programming or Terminal, as I only dabble here and there… but I took the risk and it worked out for me. I highly recommend backing everything up just in case you have an issue.

Some software developers claim their programs are not compatible with certain OSX versions as they are released. They do this to protect users from running into issues until they are able to test their software with the OS. However, sometimes, that software works just fine. I had this issue with a particular program that I used often for school. It worked just fine on El Capitan, but one day the developer flipped a switch that shut it off and displayed an error that said “Not Compatible with OSX 10.11” so I was unable to use it anymore, even though it had been working just fine after months on 10.11 beta and GM release. Well, I needed the program, so I decided to change the version number of OSX that the program reads so that I could bypass this restriction. I used THIS TUTORIAL to change the version number, along with some help from another reddit user. I had to jump through hoops and get info from all over the internet to get this to work, so I decided I should write up a tutorial that has everything all in one place in case anyone else should need it (I’ve already help two other classmates do the same thing). I did not come up with any of this, I just put everything in one place for future reference. All sources are cited.

1. BACKUP! This is first and foremost just for peace of mind! Terminal is tricky, and you will be disabling many of the safety measures Apple has in place to prevent you from screwing up your OS.

2. Disable SIP (paraphrased from THIS THREAD) a. Reboot into recovery mode by holding “command+R” on startup. b. Open Terminal from the “Utilities” menu. c. Run command “csrutil enable --without fs" d. Reboot

3. Open Terminal on your desktop

4. Run command “sudo nano -w /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist”

5. Press enter, and then type in your password when prompted (you will not see it on screen) and press enter again.

6. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the version number (e.g. 10.11.1) under ProductUserVisibleVersion and erase the version number.

7. Enter in a version number of your choice (e.g. 10.10.4)

8. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the version number (e.g. 10.11.1) under ProductVersion and erase the version number.

9. Enter in a version number of your choice (same number as the one in step 7)

10. Press “control+x" to exit. It will ask if you want to “save modified buffer.”

11. Press “y” to save (pressing “n” will cancel everything). It will ask for a file name to save as.

12. Press enter to accept the default file name.

13. Exit Terminal

At this point, you can navigate to the “About This Mac” tab and you should see the new version number. I was able to use my program, which only needed to register itself once, then I no longer needed to have my version number different from reality. However, I found I was unable to use any Apple part of my computer! I could not open Safari, I could not connect to the internet, and I could not open terminal to change my version number back. The solution was to reboot into recovery mode and change the version number back, and I also re-enabled the csrutil.

1. Reboot into into recovery mode by holding “command+R” on startup.

2. Open Terminal from the “Utilities” menu.

3. Run command “nano /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist” NOTICE THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE

4. Press enter, and then type in your password when prompted (you will not see it on screen) and press enter again.

5. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the version number (e.g. 10.11.1) under ProductUserVisibleVersion and erase the version number.

6. Enter in a version number of your choice (e.g. 10.10.4)

7. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the version number (e.g. 10.11.1) under ProductVersion and erase the version number.

8. Enter in a version number of your choice (same number as the one in step 7)

9. Press “control+x to exit. It will ask if you want to “save modified buffer.”

10. Press “y” to save (pressing “n” will cancel everything). It will ask for a file name to save as.

11. Press enter to accept the default file name.

12. Run command “csrutil enable”

13. Reboot

Everything should now be back to normal! I’ve been using my program for a few days and I’ve had zero issues. I expect that I will need to do this again if the developer does not make the software compatible with El Capitan before the next registration update is required… which is another reason I decided to make sure I had everything in one place.

Hope this helps someone in the future! Thanks again, reddit (specifically u/5HT-2a) for all of your help, on this and everything else I come here to figure out!
