OS X 10.11 All The Little Things!

[Lunfai]

A few questions...

A) About My Mac > Support - does it still say "Macintosh"?

B) The installer... How do you view the log? Is there still a menubar on the top (mouseover to show it) like traditional OS X installers of years past? Does pressing Command and L still pull up the log window?

C) Does "About Finder" still say "The Macintosh Desktop Experience"? This hasn't been changed since 10.3, and I'm hoping it's still there.

D) Show a screenshot of First Aid in Disk Utility, please.

E) DVD Player... What version does it say? Still 5.5?

A) It says OS X Resources or Mac Resources with several links

B) The log viewer remains if you created a USB thumb. If you update from App Store it will just do run the update as normal.

C) Yes it's still there

D) Ive attached a screenshot as an Attachment, this modal pops up.

E) 5.8

9to5Mac listed a lot of changes not mentioned here: http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/08/30-os-x-el-capitan-features-apple-didnt-show-on-stage/

Is menu-bar autohide new to OS X? I don't remember seeing that before.

Yikes that new iTunes icon!

Not a fan either. The red icon stick out a lot which I like, it's the only red icon.

Yes, that's new. The ability to change between "zoom" and "minimize" when double-clicking a window's title bar is also new.

It appears a setting to change the default behavior of the green button is still missing.

From past experiences, the icons on Apple website almost never came to reality in final releases. So, don't trust anything on their website for now.

The icon on the Apple site matches the one in iOS 9. They will change the icon when Apple Music is added to iTunes.

They removed three-finger drag (at least on the Air '13). Gonna go cry in a corner now. And then possibly revert..

Are you sure it's not just disabled by default?

That's odd... I don't see a setting for it but three finger drag still works just fine on my 13" rMBP.

Whats more, the setting for "Secondary click" is unchecked but also still seems to be enabled.

JK JUST FOUND IT!!! It's an accessibility setting now, under trackpad options. But I'm always paranoid about messing up my trackpad, so I never like clicking it. Plus the click is terrible with Macbooks..

Notes now has "recently deleted." I feel like that's new, right? I don't recall it in previous version and my other MBP is at the office so I couldn't check. lol.

And heed that warning abut updating Notes. You can't even drag them into non-Apple Notes accounts after you upgrade.

On that....note...the Notes update is really nice. The checklist is great. It's finally going to do what I want it to do with links, lists, etc. I wish I had had it when planning my last trip along w/ that split screen!

Oh, that's an odd place for it.

I used to be like that a little bit but then I realized how silly and paranoid it is. Most people click their's thousands of times without issues...

They're not integrating Apple Music with iTunes, they're two separate apps and services.

Oh well, we'll see next month.

Any chance to get answer whether Adobe Photoshop CS6 works on 10.11 or not? Thanks.

I just prefer three finger drag most of the time.

Seems to.

Weird, my iTunes icon hasn't changed at all.

The version of iTunes with the new icon isn't available yet.

Oh cool, I thought I saw someone's screenshot with the new logo. Good to know. Thanks.

I know, bad photo,

Better picture:

I did the best I could since it's not captured with a screenshot

Completely untrue. One of their big selling points was how everything is all unified now.

 

[Watabou]

A new checkbox called "Ambient light compensation" in Displays preferences.

 

[kjm18]

Photos that aren't geotagged can now have locations added but tried and was unable to do so, maybe Apple haven't enabled this feature yet

 

[GamerBoredom]

Anyone else notice the three finger movement from trackpad to move windows (also to select text), is gone? Or has it moved elsewhere? Maybe I'm blind.

Nope. Look at the Apple website, it shows Apple Music as a part of iTunes on the Mac.

 

[GamerBoredom]

Not noticed anything major yet but jesus on a velociraptor it's snappy as hell, all of the animations have gone turbo! (i5 MBP 2012).

EDIT:Actually, have just noticed this, my HD4000 memory access has increased beyond 1GB although it does still say Yosemite for some reason!!!

Mine was Yosemite still, and I thought I missed something!!!!
