Any bad bugs show up yet?

I need Office and MS Remote Desktop to work.

Otherwise I use mostly native apps.

I use Office 365 and I haven't had any troubles with it. Only really bad bug I experienced with anything Microsoft is OneNote using my GPU instead of CPU - battery took a large hit on my rMBP mid 2014. Other than that, it's been good.

Office 2011 is fucked, but i'm sure you must use 2016 by now.

Dude.

Just upgrade.

Office 2011 doesn't work with this update?

:lol

I use 2011. Why would I ever upgrade MS Word?

I guess I will wait....

 

[giga]

I just opened word 2011 and it worked for me..

 

[Tarkus]

Mine works fine. Just won't split view

 

[Gamecocks625]

Office 2011 doesn't work with this update?

I have to use Office 2011 for work and outlook freezes up all. the. time.

 

[LeleSocho]

Installed the final version on my 15 inches MBP Late 2011 with no problems whatsoever, i'm thinking of installing the 10.11.1 beta...

 

[jstripes]

Office 2011 is fucked, but i'm sure you must use 2016 by now.

My daughter is procrastinating on upgrading to Office 2016, even though I keep sending her the Office 365 link.

Maybe this will get her going.

 

[Phoenix]

Outlook in 2016 freezes up all the time so don't worry. You're not missing anything. Was a pile of shit during the beta as well.

Yeah, sorry, Outlook:

[Blackhead]

All my notifications are now just a blank white space. Anyone else getting this El Capitan?

 

[Zeyphersan]

How do I turn off that Suggested Events from Mail thing?

 

[Fuchsdh]

It's better if you use fullscreen. I use fullscreen. Exclusively. So it's better.

If there was a reason for perma-junioring, it'd be this statement

 

[bionic77]

Yeah, sorry, Outlook:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3098396

I use outlook via remote desktop so that is cool.

The Mac version was always total garbage as look as I can remember. If I am not using remote desktop I just use the built in client which works decently enough for email and the calendar.

No issues with Remote Desktop on my end.

 

[Blastoise]

I'm gonna give it a week before I update.

 

[BocoDragon]

Now that I have pinned tabs, I'm not sure if I get it. How is pinning a website more useful than just a bookmark? (which also consistently refreshes the page on load)

 

[Eklesp]

Now that I have pinned tabs, I'm not sure if I get it. How is pinning a website more useful than just a bookmark? (which also consistently refreshes the page on load)

Confused by this too. Had Gaf on a pin and I think it is just like having an always open tab that doesn't take up as much space, and does not close with Command+W

 

[BocoDragon]

I just read that it refreshes occasionally in the background.... Okay I can kinda see the appeal then.

 

[NinjaCatfish]

How do I turn off that Suggested Events from Mail thing?

In Calendar preferences, General tab there's a 'Show Found in Mail calendar' toggle. Is this what you're referring to?

 

[Zeyphersan]

Yes, thank you! Automatic contacts I'm okay with, but leave the events to me

Yeah pinned tabs are supposed to stay updated

 

[MultiJhonny]

So I can't download El Capitan for some reason. I was downloading it earlier but I paused it with the intention of restarting it but I needed to study so i didn't feel like messing with it currently. Now I turned my MBPr off and back on at a certain point since I don;t like leaving it on if I am not using it. But now it won't let me download El Capitan. It just says its waiting and that it is paused.

So what do? If any knows

 

[jimmypython]

Well maybe my mid2012 MBP (with 8GB ram) is too old....Office 2016 is just not functional. Random crashes ALL THE TIME.


BTW I'm actually on 10.11.1 beta

It is not too old, at all.

Yeah I got the same thing. Forgot to press Pause and closed the lid and now it's stuck on Waiting.
Anyone?

Office 2016 crashes all the time on my 2015 13" MacBook Pro w/ Retina, too. The whole thing feels really sluggish, too. It's just not well made.

Yep it takes forever to launch and sometimes just crashes. MS has to fix it. I subscribed to Office 365 mainly for the 1TB drive but c'mon...

 

[victreeb3l]

Geez Apple's implementation of split screen snapping sucks. Unnecessarily cumbersome. Sticking to BetterSnapTool.

I do like how I can resize both windows at once but I dont want to split screen apps in a different desktop from my current one.

 

[holygeesus]

10.11 beach balls Final Cut Pro X upon startup, how do I go about downloading 10.11.1 Beta?


Edit: just signed up for the beta program but it just redirects me to the App Store with 10.11

Final Cut Pro X (10.2) working fine here.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Final Cut Pro X (10.2) working fine here.

Interesting. I have it working fine on 10.11.1 beta now but in 10.11 it would just freeze upon opening.

 

[cjp]

Purify says they're working on an OS X blocker:

Makes sense given that he abandoned uBlock.

 

[HUELEN10]

This is the best of Mavericks and Snow leopard in a Yosemite shell; I love this OS.

 

[MadraptorMan]

Does "Metal" benefit my iMac's Intel Iris Pro card?

 

[LarryButz]

Huh, the "Secure Empty Trash" option is gone.

I've been heavy in the Jake Kaufmann OSTs lately too.

Gotta listen to something awesome while I'm waiting for that delicious Horizon Chase OST to drop!

Seriously though, El Capitan is the shit... EVEN on my 2010 Mini. This machine runs better than the day I got it, and that is mind-blowing to me.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Split View is SUPER not working for me. It's impossible for me to resize the windows, and if I try to switch the sides then one program freaks out and takes over the whole screen, but the OS still thinks the two sides are represented

Also when I send Mail fullscreen I can't put my cursor at the top to see the menu bar, but it works for other programs

Edit: Actually a restart fixed both these issues. COMPUTERS!

 

[HUELEN10]

Whoa this is awesome!

I can also do a BIG-SCREEN iTunes and side-dock GAF Mobile!
Again, I love this OS.

 

[Number45]

Man this took forever to download yesterday, so much so that I just kicked off the install and went to bed so I'll finally have a play (outside of the beta at least) when I get home later. Looking forward to wifi improvements.

 

[Zeyphersan]

It's kind of fun to play around with dictation stuff. It still a little bit clunky but seems sort of futuristic to control my computer with my voice

 

[HUELEN10]

Can anyone please help me?

Okay, so I open textedit or preview or something like that, and I am greeted with a Window to open a file.

I just want that app open, read to drag stuff to its dock icon or go through its menus, I don't need an annoying window popping up each time I start the app.

What do?

well, i think that's just how these apps behave.
You can drag stuff onto their Dock-icons anyways, and IF you want an always-running preview or textedit, you'll just be asked, which document you might want to open, that one time.

It only started with Yosemite though, and it absolutely kills my workflow at times. No way to disable?

Metal is generally 2012 Mac's and newer.

How does split screen work? How do you enable it?

 

[anonymous_abc]

How does split screen work? How do you enable it?

Press and hold on the green full screen button, then drag the window to one side.

 

[Guess Who]

It's only gone on SSD-equipped Macs, to be clear.

 

[HUELEN10]

Press and hold on the green full screen button, then drag the window to one side.

How? Sure as hell not how I've been doing it...
