My Scarlett 2i2 is doing very well in PB5. No glitches, no detection problems. In fact for me personally PB5 is so good I don't think I'll be trying PB6. The only thing that isn't working is folders on top in Xtrafinder.

Has anyone lost the ability to sign into a corporate google apps account with latest beta via internet accounts? I can sign in via the browser; but in Internet accounts, once it accepts my password, it just hangs with a blue rotating circle and goes no further, so I can't sync calendars, contacts or notes.

I'm the most recent public beta and am having the following issues after a clean install with nothing but Chrome added to the default programs on a Macbook Pro 13in Retina from 2013.

Mail app is unusable. Crashes randomly during use when scrolling through emails or clicking on emails to view. Safari is also completely unusable for me. After a few minutes it completely locks up. Swiping up and down there is a several second delay (So I swipe and 10-15 seconds later the swipe registers on the screen. It often times locks down my entire system so while safari is open I can't use the rest of my Mac until I force close the application).

Chrome is giving me no such problems.

Anyone else having mail not work? It closed randomly while using it and now every time I go to open mail it immediately crashes before opening a window. Click the icon and a second later a "Mail application has quit unexpectedly."
I'm having a lot of problems with Mail this beta. Blank emails that never open or can't be replied to unless I quit and reopen mail.

Also Facebook is back to having loading issues with image galleries this beta. Sigh.

Smart zoom in the latest El Captain Public Beta is not working as it should in Preview for me. When I try to use smart zoom (two-finger double tap) in a PDF while in Preview, it either zooms in a bit or zooms out, not "smart zooming" to the content the cursor hovers (in Yosemite, "smart zoom" worked).

Does anyone else have this problem? I already filed this as a bug on Feedback Assistant.

UGH!

PB5 brought back my hang on wake from sleep issue...

Still have the random system component crashes, though at least I am not asked about all these things opening for the first time when I boot....

This one is a "two steps forward, three steps back" for me...

Share - Add Image to Photos doesn't work. I have sent a feedback report but it still not working in the latest PB.

Can anyone else confirm whether it works for them and if not file feedback? It would also be good if they gave a notification alert to say that the image has been added to photos when using the share - 'add image to photos' method. If you agree then I suggest you add this to the feedback report.

Thanks

Not too many issues here. Seems fairly stable, but I've lost the "Swoosh" send mail sound with 15A263e

I reported an issue with the ambient light sensor causing the macbook pro to crash on train journeys as it is constantly changing due to outside light. I notice that in this beta the option to even adjust the setting has been removed.

I am also wondering about this...
I have the old USB Harmon Kardon soundsticks and they've been iffy with PB2 to 4...they'll work for about 30 seconds to a few minutes then stop working until I reboot. With PB5, they've been working all day. So far so good.

There's a really annoying thing with iMessage on Yosemite that bugs me off. It happens when I open a conversation on an independent windows then close the general window with all the conversations and when I'm on another desktop/full screen app like Safari and I get an iMessage notification from that conversation I opened on an independent window, if I click on the notification it takes me to the general window that opens with the conversation opened on it leaving the independent window with the conversation behind.

I don't know if I express myself correctly but this thing is really annoying. I wonder if it's been fixed in El Capitan so far.

Thank you.

A difficult one to explain but one of the most annoying Finder bug so far!

If you go to a folder/place which has several folders inside so that you have to scroll down to see the very last folder. Now open that very last or the second last folder, now press back button. Here you will notice that finder will take you on the top of the page instead of keeping the focus to the last line of folders.

I have tested this is Mavericks and Yosemite. I can confirm that in previous versions of OS, it wasn't the case! if you go inside a folder and come out by pressing back, the focus of finder stays there on same folder which you came out from. Now in El Capitan, when you press back button, it scrolls to the top of the page and you have again scroll down to see those folders.

Can you test this and confirm if this is a bug on your side too?

Hi there,

since upgrading to PB6 I have huge problems with Preview.app. I am unable to open certain JPEG files, especially those that are created by Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (so actually my whole photo library). I see the picture for a fraction of a second and then, 6 grey blocks appear that cover the picture, resulting in a grey, blank space. Other JPEG files, e.g. from iMessage, don't fail to open, though, my JPEGs from Lightroom are all o.k. and open perfectly with other viewers or on other Macs. I still can preview my files with Finder preview (by hitting the spacebar in Finder).

Is there anyone who can confirm this issue or who has any idea for troubleshooting?

Happy to report that the right hand side graphics glitches on images (especially on Facebook) on my Retina that appeared in the previous beta is gone.

I'm having trouble with the recovery partition. Although Disk Utility reports that a recovery partition is present I can't seem to boot into it either with the ALT selection or CMD + R combination at start up. The CMD + R combination kicks off the Internet Recovery option, so it looks like the volume isn't available. I even tried removing and replacing it with the HDRecoveryUpdate.pkg for El Capitan, which installed correctly but also wouldn't boot. I need the Recovery Partition to control SIP permissions via the csrutil Terminal Command but can only access this via a USB Flash Driver installer.

It seems to me that there are a lot of little bugs in EL Cap which sometimes are the most annoying kind. It is amazing how many things can go wrong, get fixed and then go wrong again.

All office365 apps don't do well if Word is left open when laptop goes to sleep. They stop responding, but a force quit of Word will allow them to resume.

Sure would like to get exchange working.......

Constantly getting crashes with com.apple.InputMethodKit.TextReplacementService and SocialPushAgent in most recent build. Apparently they have to do with Sandbox in that they always are from:
Sandbox creation failed: Unable to get bundle identifier for container ID _________.

I've sent feedback on this but so far, no help. I was fine up through PB3, but since then, each update causes a kernel panic and I have to do a cmd + R restore to get up and running again. Once I do, all my smart mailboxes are empty. I can restore my lost mail from Timemachine, but I have no idea what's causing the kernel panic. I'm using a 5K iMac with 32gb RAM and I have a 6TB FireWire LaCie drive for my Timemachine backups and a 4TB WD MyBook for photo storage.
