Warning. Withings based BT accesories are really not pairing well at all still in IOS10 GM. f you use these I would wait for withings to patch.

My scale worked okay this morning
Do you have a lot of photos and videos on the phone? The first time the new Photos app indexes what's there it drains a lot.

It took me two tries but yeah I got it working after this post. I had to reset my phone and scale for some weird reason.

Now that you mention it I guess my scale didn't have to restart. It ran out of batteries 😶
Previously played is now in the For You section, but I'm not sure if it shows the same information...

...hate me...
Don't forget that the Withings scale also has wifi. If it fails to connect straight to your phone via BT, it will upload the measurings to their servers, and they will show up on your app anyway. It may take a while.

Thanks but it only seems to show the station/playlist so it appears to be completely useless for finding out the previously played song. Discoverability seems to have decreased a bit.

I'm aware... my posts are about how my Mac is basically unusable since I updated to Sierra. Couldn't take a screenshot or do anything with it if I wanted to.
But again if anyone else is having problems like that, start unplugging USB things because it stopped when I unplugged my Razer mouse.

Were you that post on Reddit too?

Nope, what was that?

Also had to unplug a Razer thing

That's really weird. Oh well, caused me to hook up my Magic Trackpad, which I have fallen in love with again.

There's not a specific option but it's really easy to do, don't worry about creating a bootable USB and all that stuff.
- Update to Sierra
- Back-Up(!)
- Reboot into Recovery Mode (cmd+R at start up chime)
- Use Disk Utility to erase Mac HD
- Once erased, back out to the main Recovery menu and select Re-Install OS
- Once installed the system will reboot and the 'new Mac' set-up process will begin
Yep that's what happened to me the last time I did that in the beta.

Anyone using Photoshop's save for web function? That crashed the second macos beta for me, even after clean install.

I went back to El Capitan. If Sierra will be more stable, I'll try it again (with a backup this time!)
It does. I go back to Mavericks on my mid-2014 rMBP. You can always pre-install the OS you want to go straight to it, least I did that when I last bothered with a factory reset. It's been a while. I should get around to it, but I have so much to clean up.
All the time because transparent avatars are too hot a commodity. I just did one the other day, even. It's been fine for me. I don't remember it crashing, but I did also jump in on PB3 since I was on vacation through the first 2.
My largest issue with it has been Safari's speed, if anything. Aside from that, it's worked surprisingly well for me. What issues have you encountered?

I did a Sierra clean install yesterday and that's exactly how I did it.
Hit reinstall OS, signed in and then Sierra started (re)downloading. 100% no mistaking it.
A recent change perhaps...?

Would like to know whether you can remove the profile afterwards to get off the beta hype train.
Also for tvOS, can you remove the profile after you upgraded to the tvOS10 GM?
I'd push both my watch and ATV to the GM builds but I don't want to be stuck on the beta channel.

Yeah, you download it on your phone and apply it to the watch.
Yes, you can delete it from the Apple Watch application.
Install the GM.

Quick warning about installing prerelease software on Apple Watch, even a GM: Unlike iOS and macOS, you cannot go back to previous release versions without sending it to Apple.
You get a GM code on the beta web site, not in the App Store.

Thanks, downloading watchOS 3 right now (already deleted the profile after the first restart & initiating the GM download).
I forgot how abysmal the performance of the AW is after restarting (restart alone took 2-3 minutes). It's still lagging a bit after several minutes.
You should have had an email, but yeah sign in to beta.apple.com for the link and code.
Oh ok thanks, why would they require an additional step for people that already are in the beta program though?
Well as has been said you get an email about it. I think it's because downloading the GM might take you off the beta upgrades but I'm not sure.
It's just called "Sierra" in the App store once you redeem the code.
I still don't understand why didn't put it as an update to beta 8 though... well whatever, installing right now.
I think Apple doesn't consider it to be a "beta" anymore. Now it's a GM candidate.
I hope it is something they've changed because It's pretty annoying.

Updated to Sierra on my main machine, as well as the iOS10 GM. Zero issues so far on both. Most stable 1.0 releases I've ever used from Apple.
iOS10 is a really impressive release by Apple. A shitload of large and small changes and refinements, even if it isn't all immediately obvious. Sierra is a much smaller update, but lays down some big foundations with Siri and further integration.

What do I need to do to enable Universal Clipboard? Both devices are on the GM.

Oh damn love how the mail app automatically suggests my receipts folder when I hit the move button on my email receipts now.
