OS X El Capitan: Working & Not Working Apps

Keyboard not working in Keynote 6.5.3 for my late 2013 mbp. Function buttons and trackpad are fine but no other keyboard input recognized. Keyboard works fine in other apps.
Avid Pro Tools 11.3.1.370 is working with the 003 Rack and the Apogee Duet iOS/OS, Waves 9.3.x, UVI 2.5.15, and VSL 5.3.13845, and Slate Drums plugins and engines are also working with Pro Tools 11.3.1.370. MIDI input is from Kurzweil PC88 and Korg NanoKey2 via a simple MIDI to USB dongle, the Korg is plugged into the Apogee Duet USB port.
Alchemy loading for me and playing with no issues. N.I. and IK stuff is crashing validation.
No thank you! I was not disputing what you said at all. I believe you had that problem. I just figured I'd let you know the app works so once they get the install issue fixed it should be fine. That was the purpose of my reply. I saw after posting it that you found a good replacement so that works. I think I'd heard of it before and cannot remember why I chose one versus the other. Maybe it was six of one, half dozen of the other with two simple apps that do the same thing and I just happened to pick Caffeine.
Anyway, glad you found a good replacement.
Thanks. I always found Caffeine's status hard to see at a glance. I just replaced it with Owly.
My late-2013 iMac experience is just fine after testing out all my everyday apps, etc.
One possible reason for this is the new Spotlight reindexing your hard disc drive(s). I would give the system some time (a few hours anyway) to ensure that has completed and see if it becomes more responsive before considering more drastic issues/solutions below:
I am guessing you must have already tried things like shutting down and restarting, etc. If the system seems screwed up still I am thinking it may be related to something(s) El Capitan installed over that pre-existed on your particular configuration just as a guess.
The easiest solution would be to just wipe it and do a clean install then restore your stuff from Time Machine. You did backup your system completely before an operating system upgrade hopefully so recovery should be relatively painless.

Weird. I trashed Logic and reinstalled it. -Same issue. Same issue using a different Admin account. Did you disable the new security features of ElCap? Could it be an auvaltool problem?
Thank you very much for replying -- I guess I'll be sitting this out for a while.
Airplay doesn't seem to be working. NO icon in menu bar and ATV is working fine. Also someone just started a thread on Airport Utility not working. Checked mine and it is not working either.
File Sharing doesn't seem to be working. In Safari it shows "No Service". In Photos on only shows Set DeskTop Picture and iCloud Photo Sharing.
What have I missed?? Some Setting???

and jamesPDX: you both might check the forum at logicprohelp.com; lots of useful info (and possible fixes for NI)...
Has anyone been able to get NFS filesharing working? It stopped working here when I upgraded from Mavericks. It says it's running in the Shell when I manually start/stop it, but XBMC on my Gen1 AppleTV can no longer find the shares (oddly SMB which stopped working before seems to be working once again with XBMC Eden).
Edit:
Ok, I found a thread on the KODI forums. It says the problem is due to SIP and that to get NFS working again, you must disable SIP, edit the LaunchDaemons file and then reenable SIP. Sadly, I CANNOT do this because in order to disable SIP, you have to boot into the recovery partition and RAID volumes do not support the recovery partition!
Apple really screwed the pooch with this SIP crap. It killed XtraFinder and now NFS. They KNOW some people use RAID boot drives and yet they make the ONLY way to disable SIP is through the very recovery partition that RAID users CANNOT use??? There needs to be an alternative way!

Izotope RX 2.0 doesn't work (instant crash and yet another reason to go back to Mavericks). Honestly, it's UNREAL how much software has broken from such a small update. You'd think this was the transition from PPC to Intel or something.
I simply don't think I'm prepared to buy so many software updates just to use METAL at some point in the future when a single game might support it. Apple's "free" update caused so much collateral damage it's unreal. And you can't turn off SIP to fix some programs if you have RAID. That's bullcrap. There should be another way.

I am a little miffed that there were so many developer versions of El Capitan & so much is not working well.
I note that the lists above do not specify versions tested in most cases.
Though I do note that it is an editable wiki-post. I cannot seem to edit said post.
Make sure you have your icloud passwords at your fingertips - on paper, if you load El Capitan.
So far, I note that what I've gotten out of El Capitan so far is not compelling enough to have warranted immediate load: It still seems as though you have to test it all yourself despite sites like Roaringapps (maybe check that for feedback in 6 months).
BetterSnap (1.6) - all the old user-defined settings are gone after loading El Cap.
CORRECTION: if you try to initiate NEW hotspots, the old ones return!!!
FinderPop (latest prior to El Capitan: 2.5.7) does NOT work.
Results in a pop-up that requires you force quit System Preferences.
Partial From Finderpop: FinderPop will NOT work on OS X 10.11 El Capitan unless System Integrity Protection (aka "Rootless Mode") is disabled. Not recommended for most users.
MindNode (1.11.4, pre 2x) Does NOT print. At least in my case.
Not interested in updating until the feature set is worth the price.
XMenu DOES work. (1.9.8)
Fantastical 1.3.18 (desktop) works but after a recent recovery reload of Yosemite before El Cap -
lost my old calendars, so events have no destination calendar. Insufficient test.
MangaStudio 5.0.6 works, (without a real involved look).
AnimeStudio 9x appears functional, AnimeStudio Debut 10x.
Little Snitch (latest) continues to work for me.
Forklift (2.6.5) - Works just fine for me (someone above said it was slow & prone to crashes)
DROPBOX -Out of date version had same connecting issue mentioned in another post. Never does.
Opening the dmg file for an update of Dropbox "NOT RESPONDING.” ‘Fix' was turn off VPN.
In process downloads & other events seem to be cryptic ("not working" feedback, or "not responding") in El Cap, or am I doing something wrong? It may be a VPN not ready for prime time.
Server errors while checking for application updates. (stuff not via appstore)
Circus Ponies Notebook
Clipping services broken in El Cap. As noted on the website.
As of Oct 4: Update still awaiting approval by Apple.
Delineato Pro chart/mindmap does not want to print.
I have to guess its El Capitan since I haven’t used it for awhile until after El Cap.
OmniOutliner 4.0 Freezes on Inspector Pop-ups occasionally.
Wacom Bamboo Tablet Drivers don’t seem to be a compatibility priority for Wacom.
There still aren’t any.
PIA VPN Client has issues. Esp. with Mail.
Hope this is some use to someone.

Its quite possible that the network filter may be turned off in Little Snitch
for the user above & causing some issues (?) including VPN connection.
Final Cut Express - 4.0.1 still works! Not tested extensively.for the user above & causing some issues (?) including VPN connection.
