OS X El Capitan: Working & Not Working Apps

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.
After I download El Capitan last week, I have lost my connection to iBooks in Mac. When I try to open the iBooks app in Mac, it says "iBook cannot reach the library" I think iBook cannot reach the library where my books stored earlier.

The question is "How can I direct iBook to go my library again" Have you experienced same kind of problem??? I need somebody to tell me what to do, please!!!

One more thing : When I connect my iPhone and/or iPad to may mac, I see no books in the iTunes any longer!!!

Same for me. Ever since I started using the public beta, Magicjack doesn’t work. It doesn’t show up at all in About This Mac->System Report->USB, so it looks like the device is no longer recognized. I can get it to open, but it will immediately give a "Cannot connect to server" error. I filed a bug report with Apple a few betas back, but am now on the GM and it still doesn’t work. Did you ever get it working? Any ideas / tips?

No I have not :confused:
 
I've had problems with Pixelmator running on El Capitan. The application opens just fine, but it's exhibiting some strange behaviour when exporting files. exported PDF's or JPG's appear to be incomplete. Also, opening some previousely created images can cause problems such as content not displaying on the canvas even though all the layers can be seen in the layers panel.
 
Hi guys! I have problem with MplayerX. On my old Macbook Pro(2010) and MacBook Air(2014) MplayerX has very bad video and subtitles quality on El Capitan, on Yosemite was everything ok. Does anyone have a similar problem?

Which version did you try? V4.x works with El Capitan and Yosemite. V3.5x and earlier supposedly do not work with them. The first thing I did before upgrading to El Capitan was to purchase an upgrade license for CCC from 3.5x to 4.x. It appears to work fine here.

Talked to Bombich-Carbon Copy Cloner yesterday. It is fully compatible with El Capitan.

I'm guessing he used an earlier version. Therein lies the rub with much of the software issues. Many updated packages work with El Capitan but older versions do not. Others have not been updated and may never be updated and many of the updates aren't free. So while El Capitan itself may be "free" the costs associated with getting updated versions of software to work with it can be VERY expensive in some cases with professional type software that as a consumer you bought once for the awesome features, but don't want to have to buy again, even at upgrade prices since you don't need the newer features and aren't making money from it. You are then really just paying to keep it working with that "free" OS upgrade.

I want Metal for future gaming, etc. since that will actually make the most of out my 2012 GPU (Aspyr has said they may very well go back and update older releases that need a lot of GPU power at some point) and certainly most future games will make good use of it and may even REQUIRE it at some point very soon. But most other OS X "features" since Mavericks are pure fluff to me (I don't have an iPhone so I don't care about continuity, etc.) The extra pane in Notifications for the weather, calculator etc. are "nice" but I can live without them. I like "dark mode" but I hate the stoplight "flat" buttons compared to the "gem" like ones in Mavericks. So it's a bit of a wash.

El Capitan "feels" about the same as Mavericks so far, but (ancient) XBench tells me otherwise, assuming the tests still mean something. It says half the tests are slower, some a LOT slower (my RAID hard drive does 190MB/sec at most now; it did 286MB/sec under Mavericks and damn near 300MB/sec under Mountain Lion with the same tests. OpenGL is similar or slightly faster, but Quartz tests are considerably slower. Some of the user interface tests are slower and I figured with metal in the main GUI they would be faster, but perhaps they use outdated calls or something. It's hard to tell. My animations were already smooth in Mavericks here so I can't see any visible difference. Boot times suck so I kind of believe the slower hard drive tests. I think they figure you will have SSD by now, but that isn't always true (some of us need a LOT of hard drive space and a 200 or 500GB hard drive isn't going to cut it. I have 5TB here and I'm running out of space).

PFIXER by PusherLab (the software to make Pfixer Panel interact with Lightroom) does not work anymore after installing Mac OSX El Capitan.
In previous upgrade to Yosemite it worked even before issuing an upgrade.
 
Just updated to El Capitan, and MATLAB 2013a seems to work fine. I had to install compatible java, but it's easy because when you open up matlab 2013a, it will direct you to the apple's java download page.

I can't sign in to Adobe Creative Cloud - Audition wouldn't start at all - and then started working suddenly. Seems alright for the moment, but I'm terrified to shut it down. I'm an audio engineer and Audition is my LIFE.

Haven't tried Premier Pro yet...

What a disaster. I'm going to the Genius Bar tonight to wipe this and reinstall Yosemite. I can't afford this sort of massive incompatibility. You would think - knowing as Apple surely does, that we creative types use Adobe as our primary platform and we use Macs - that they would make certain these things were compatible.

Same here. Pixelmator just opens translucent windows instead of showing the image. Very annoying.

i think mplayerx has run its course. last i checked it wasn't being updated any longer.


i suggest you look for another video player.


i recommend elmedia player. its lightweight and does the job fine.


then of course there is always the bloated vlc and a few others you might want to try.

may i ask why you say vlc is bloated, and what elmedia's advantage is over vlc?
 
Some of these probably have been already listed but:

- Battle.net
- Dropbox
- Evernote
- Chrome
- Skype
- Spotify
- Microsoft Office 2016

All working. By all working, I mean they work. Yea some of them crashed the first time but after a restart, nothing has crashed.
 
Just stopped in to let you all know... add the app "Img2icns" as not working. I used it once and it seemed okay, but when I opened it a second time it asked me if I wanted to use it. I clicked on yes and it just hung on me. I did a hard reboot and I was unable to log on properly as a result. I had to do a complete Time Machine backup to get it working again.

Just as well, it's not like I can use custom icons anymore anyway.
 
Pixelmator issues for some.

I can not download previously purchased Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 and some others...what can be the reason?
 
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor isn't working for me. Not a biggy but did what i wanted it to do.

Also the Logitech solar app isn't working for me, again not a biggy.

Both bought/downloaded from the Mac App store.

Added to not working.

Mbox 2 Mini. Even though Avid say they do not support Yosemite one of the older drivers did allow the Mbox 2 Mini to work, but it appears to be completely dead in El Capitan.

That's a shame because even the 003R worked via FW400 in 10.11. -I rolled back for other reasons.

Personally, I also hate VLC. VLC looks like a Windows application.

Otherwise, I tried Elmedia player and looks very good, but again the same problem, poor video quality. The same core as MPlayerX? It looks like VLC as the only option for me on El Capitan.
