OS X 10.11 All The Little Things!

If I downloaded Safari extensions from Apple's current safari extension gallery, would I be able to use them in Safari in El Capitan, or would those extensions need to be downloaded from the new Extension Gallery?

You need to re-download all extensions, if you install El Capitan.

Thanks Shirasaki,

Can I just re-download them from the current extension gallery or would they need to be specifically coded for El Capitan.

Also, can you install extensions from 3rd party sites or would they need to be downloaded from the new extension gallery apple is working on?

I have adblock and safari tabs. I download them from their official sites.

If you can access them from current extension gallery, you can try if it is available in El Capitan. Mine works with no issue.

And currently El Capitan is still in beta state. Don't really need to worry about extension issue, I think.

I upgraded from 10.10.4 to 10.11 and my Safari extensions still work; I didn't need to download them again.

If I disable any of them, on re-enabling I get a warning that they're not from the official extension gallery. I then need to click "trust" to get them re-enabled.

Thanks adrianlondon and Shirasaki. Good to hear that the extensions are still working

Note that they might not got updated anymore automatically until the new gallery launches.

Anyone using a secondary screen on their Mac, could they confirm if the "log in" screen appears on the secondary screen instead of the Mac itself? I currently have a 27" Cinema Display hooked up to my MacBook Pro, and Yosemite always displayed the log in screen on my MacBook Pro instead of my Cinema Display....

You need to make the Cinema Display your primary screen, and then the login screen will be there in Yosemite (and every prior system too). In System Preferences > Displays, select the Arrangement tab. Drag the small white menu bar to the Cinema Display.

Thanks chabig, yes I already knew this and made sure this was done but it still doesn't display on my Cinema Display even though it is set as the primary screen in System Preferences. After I log in (from MacBook Pro screen), the main screen does appear on the Cinema Display, very weird

One thing I'd like that Apple fixed is that in Yosemite (and in older versions too, I believe) when you have three windows of the same app scattered across many desktop spaces, you can see them all when using "Show All Windows"/"App Expose". However, if one of those windows is in Fullscreen mode, only the others will show up in "Show All Windows".

Besides, you can't even use "Show All Windows" when you are in Fullscreen mode (even for other apps…). Could someone please tell me if these issues were fixed in El Capitan?

Thanks in advance.

No luck in dp 2. Waiting for dp3, but personally I think you don't expect they will change this design in dp3, unless lots of users think this is ridiculous.

No changes in El Cap and Apple will not change this, they would've demo this if they were changing this experience. You cannot use app expose while in the full screen mode. However, if you bring up Mission Control, you will see the other app windows.

Honestly, I think the full screen feature is half-arsed implemented by Apple. Too many problems with it, the APIs for it suck, a lot of stuff doesn't work and so on.

You'd be better off with this setup in El Cap: turn on auto-hiding menu bar, create separate desktops for each app you want to see full screen and from there, you can use app expose as you expect.

This seems new - and quite handy!

This seems new - and quite handy!

That's cool, but I'm not entirely sure what the means. Does this occur when you're overwriting a folder with the same name or when a the original folder you're copying is corrupt? The wording is sort of ambiguous.

 

[antmarobel]

I was expecting a new DP for today but... it seems I'll have to wait for one day more..

 

[star-affinity]

and it is so much faster...

I remember I felt frustrated that the full-screen animation was so slow the first time I tried it Lion. Also remember I filled a complaint about it to Apple. I guess I wasn't the only one..

It sounds like it happens when you are copying a file over, and you stop it halfway, or it stops itself halfway for whatever reason. Then, you can finish copying the file later. I would find it extremely useful to be able to reboot my computer when needed while copying a large file.

 

[Wetware.]

Annual request:
Are the new Siri voices available for text-to-speech/narration yet as on iOS?
Specifically UK...
Current voices: Daniel, Kate, Oliver, Serena.
My ears will be happy.

Are bumps allowed on macrumers?

Installation Note

After upgrading to OS X El Capitan Developer Beta, applications that write to protected/system locations may no longer function correctly.

Installation
Known Issues

Directly upgrading from OS X Lion or earlier to OS X El Capitan Developer Beta 3 is not recommended.

Selecting the ‘Do It Later’ option will not install updates for Standard user Accounts.

Some systems may fail to boot after installation if USB devices are attached. Remove USB devices before booting to resolve.

AppleID
Some Apple ID accounts will be offered the option to upgrade to using two-factor authentication.

Known Issues

Attempting to enroll in two-factor authentication after installing OS X El Capitan Beta 3 may display an error regarding access to iCloud secure data. The iCloud Preference Pane can be used to complete enrollment. After enabling two-factor authentication users may be prompted to re-enable two-factor authentication again.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you may not be able to sign into services using OS X El Capitan or iOS 9 beta 2 or earlier. If you enable two-factor authentication, iTunes purchases on Mac and Windows will require you to append a 6-digit code to the end of your password on every purchase. The 6-digit code will automatically be sent to your iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan devices.

When there is only a single trusted device using two-factor authentication, you will need to generate a code in the iCloud Preference Pane when requested.

If you disable two-factor authentication and set a new password at iForgot.apple.com, the password requirements are not indicated so your password may not be accepted. Please ensure your password meets the following requirements:

Have at least one lower case character * Have at least one capital letter * Have at least one number * Your password must not contain more than two consecutive identical characters * Not be the same as the account name * Be at least 8 characters * Not be a common password

You cannot manage your two-factor authentication trusted devices at appleid.apple.com. Devices can be managed in the iCloud Preference Pane.

Known Issues

Upgrades of existing iPhoto / Aperture libraries to Photos libraries will not succeed in OS X El Capitan Beta 3. Upgrade your iPhoto / Aperture library to Photos on a pre-OS X El Capitan Beta 3 system or create a new Photos library and import the assets into this new library.

Photos app may prevent system sleep. Quit Photos before putting the system to sleep.

Addresses may not be visible in edit panel when ordering print products. Language Known Issues

Some text may not be localized to the selected system language. Some languages may have clipped or misaligned layout.

Creation of a Boot Camp partition may fail.

The built-in and connected cameras may not work in some Apps. FileVault passwords may not be recoverable via iCloud.

Devices running iOS 9 Beta may not connect to iTunes on OS X El Capitan Developer Beta 3. To resolve install Xcode 7 beta or iTunes 12.2.

Wireless Migration may not work as expected in OS X El Capitan Beta 3. To work around, please migrate via a wired connection.

2012 and later systems may fail to associate to Wi-Fi after wake from sleep. Turn Wi-Fi off and on to resolve this issue.

I don't know if this is new in Beta 3, or has already been mentioned.

In safari, if you move the mouse to the far left hand side of the screen, and leave it there for a couple of seconds then the Bookmarks/Reading List/Shared Links bar appears, then disappears when you move the mouse away.

 

[GoGa]

Putting your cursor to the very left of the screen slides open the sidebar when Safari is fullscreen.

 

[redheeler]

In beta 3, the Safari sidebar now appears as an overlay when the cursor is moved to the left edge in fullscreen mode.

Honestly, not really a feature I care for since I know I'll be triggering it by accident.

 

[ncrypt]

It sounds like it happens when you are copying a file over, and you stop it halfway, or it stops itself halfway for whatever reason. Then, you can finish copying the file later. I would find it extremely useful to be able to reboot my computer when needed while copying a large file.

Yup, that's exactly what happened to bring up that message

Editing Location is in Photos in b3.
