OS X El Capitan Bugs!

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
Doing an SMC reset (shutdown iMac and unplug power cord for at least 15 minutes) seems to have fixed a problem I had with iPhone not charging when the iMac goes to sleep. It also seems to have fixed a problem where Photos and Image Capture did not see new photos on the iPhone (also USB related?). However I have read that the USB problems creep back in after a while (buffers filling up?).
 
I know I'm late to the party, just downloaded El Capitan today and 'Tap to click' with my trackpad doesn't work all of a sudden since it's installed.

I checked the settings and it's still selected but I have to now click down on the trackpad to do anything.

Has anyone got a fix for this please?

EDIT appeared to fix itself when I turned it on today.

El Capitan on my old Mac Pro (3,1) has thrown up several serious issues:

o Logitech Webcam doesn't install Logitech drivers - consequently sound via webcam is not working properly;

o Ethernet 0 drops connection to Internet intermittently, moving to e1 reconnects but not sure if permanently;

o I seem to be unable to complete an El Capitan TimeMachine backup - network drops out before backup completes.

This link seems to point at a possible cause - XPC _ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED - which is being reported numerous times in my Console Log:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7263229

I've also had the disappearing photos problem when connecting my new iPhone 6s to my MBP (9,1) on holiday (overseas); which strangely fixed itself when I got back home!!! Is this a manifestation of the updated two part authentication process I wonder.

So far not overly impressed with El Capitan...
 
Favourites disappearing from open/save dialog boxes panes. They are still there in Finder, but even restarting apps doesn't bring them back. Anyone else seeing this (current and previous beta)?
 
I don't know if any of you use Apples "Dictation and Speech" on El Capitan but it seems like almost every time I go to YouTube to watch a video dictation stops responding. I have to go into system preferences to disable and reenable it to get it to start responding again. :(
 
anyone no longer has in the system preferences the wireless keyboard battery life?
magic mouse and trackpad still has it
 
I have two Mac, a Mini (2010) & a MBPr (2015), since OS X 10.11, sometimes when i want to access to my Mini from my MBPr i need to reboot the MBPr. It remind me of the bug in 10.3
 
1. After 2 weeks of running El Capitan I am now finding the right-click on my mouse is working intermittently. This may be related to USB bugs since it is a wired mouse plugged into the keyboard.

2. A major problem has developed after the iMac is "woken" in the morning. On the last few mornings the screen goes black, I get the spinning beachball for a few seconds then nothing. It seems to be frozen and I have to turn it off using the power button on the back of the iMac. I have run Disk Utility First Aid and no problems are reported.
It reminds me of ancient DOS bugs that filled up buffers/caches/memory.
Grrr!

Exactly the same configuration and problem with me,
but, for me this problem was already there in Yosemite.
Could it be the keyboard connection?
;JOOP!

Just about to install the first DP so I'll help report bugs but in the meantime(while my horribly slow internet downloads it) you guys should start!

General

• Opening the filesystem browser in third party applications seems to break the sidebar in a minor way. Picture
• "Automatically hide and show the menu bar" may occasionally not allow the window size to the entire screen after full screen, erroneously. This leaves a menu bar section of blank space no windows can occupy.
• "Clean Up" and "Clean Up By" do not work in Finder.
Exchange support issue (reports from members indicate adding new accounts through mail may fail, while enabling existing one may crash mail).

El Capitan is buggy on important business issues among others:
  • Problem with Mail and Exchange crashing each time on first launch and not sync. well.
  • Problem with CardDav and CalDav
  • Problem with NAS access with AFP: Had to resets the computers to use SMB
This are major issues for businesses and I don't understand why they went through Apple quality control which seems to have gone strongly down in quality in the last two years.

I have tried Apple Hardware Test and it reports no problems. This meant I had to disconnect all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse. When I plugged in my USB optical (Blu-ray) drive the system froze again after about 10 minutes. I unplugged it and rebooted and the system has been stable for 30 minutes now.
So my conjecture is that optical drives are causing heartache for El Capitan. Others have reported that El Capitgan does not recognise the Apple Superdrive. It recognises my non-Apple optical drive and even allows me to burn Blu-ray data disks but maybe there is a bug associated with connection of optical drives?
 
There is an issue at the login in screen. After installing beta "guest" user is presented as an option in login screen when you boot up. I had guest user turned off in users & groups. Why is it showing on password screen? I made sure I guest users are turned off. What is going on? I have 'display login window as:' item under the Login Options panel.
 
App Store bug.

I don't understand why I keep getting wifi connectivity issues? it just stops working after an hour of use, then I have to restart my laptop for it to work again.

Apple phone support were helpful. Reset the PRAM by booting while holding the Cmd-Opt-P-R keys. So far this seems to have fixed my freezes. Need to run more checks of the optical drive.
 
Almost all websites are loading verrrryyyy slowly for me (I just upgraded to El Capitan last night) in Safari 9. Twitch takes almost 3 minutes to load a video which is ridiculous.

Yes. I've had to hold down the power to shutdown.

************
My MP did not let me shut down or restart after upgrading from Yosemite to El Capitan.:oops:
Therefore I reinstalled Yosemite from a clone drive but lost my recovery partition.:eek:

UPDATE
A friendly user indicated me a thread called "Recovery Partition won't update" explaining by downloading some files and running some commands in the Terminal, how to get the missing 10.10 Recovery Partition back. ;)

However even if I tried a second time the upgrade from 10.10 to 10.11 is in an external USB clone drive (I won't risk doing it again in my inner drive after all the troubles I had!), there is still no way for my MP 6.1 to end normal operation other than by shutting the computer down with the ON/OFF button.
I wonder if this bug affects only the MP 6.1 or maybe JUST MY MP 6.1....:eek:

Any experience of other users of the MP 6.1 who upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan would be very warmly welcome :)
Hope somebody writes me...
Thank you very much in advance!

Sometimes in the new Safari on top sites when I click on a thumbnail nothing happens. I can click 20 times and it won't actually go to the website.
 
AirPort Utility does not see my Airport base stations but everything seems to be working.

Anybody want to chime in?
