VPN Client problems?
Has anyone noticed hanging clients that muck up the Mail client?
I have to fly without mine to send & receive mail. Also, some sites now dog mercilessly.
How can someone seriously sell a VPN client that isn’t ready for the new OS?

In case you weren't aware, Apple changed the minimum requirements for secure network connections in OS X El Capitan and iOS 9 to disallow obsolete ciphers and certificates with unreasonable expiration periods. If the VPN software you are testing doesn't comply with the new rules, it will fall in exactly the way you describe.
Thanks much. Its not a test - its the Private Internet Access client (generally well-rated) that has problems.
The mobile client still works on iOS & is my main use, but the desktop is a serious pain: Painful Internet Access.
Leaves me wondering where people are left on Cloak & similar clients that go for multiple year access at discounts on some aggregator sites.
when i installed the first 10.11 beta, i lost PIA. but there's a fix...that i don't remember. try this "private internet access el capitan", it's out there (PIA's been working here ever since)
Handbrake requires libdvdcss to be installed which isn't permitted with system integrity protection enabled. If you disable SIP temporarily you can install libdvdcss.pkg. You can then turn SIP back on and Handbrake will work properly.
There's another way past this: skipping the PKG installer and manually copying libdvdcss to another location SIP doesn't protect that is also a location Handbrake checks for it. These are documented somewhere; exactly where that documentation is I'm not sure.
I just remembered, I'm a Mac developer so I can create an El Capitan compatible PKG of libdvdcss for everyone frustrated by this issue 
It'll have to wait until I get back to my Mac though - I don't have access to the needed development tools at work.

Success! Got a .pkg built that installs OK on El Capitan.

What I did, prior to the upgrade, was to execute:
sudo cp /usr/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/
After the upgrade, it's not too late, you can execute:
sudo cp /Library/SystemMigration/History/Migration-*/QuarantineRoot/usr/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib /usr/local/lib
(that should all be on one line)
The file doesn't go away with the upgrade, it just gets moved into quarantine. It just needs to be moved to the proper spot.

Doing that is NOT NECESSARY.
I REPEAT, DOING THAT IS NOT NECESSARY.
Yes, the *.pkg installer tries to copy into a protected location, but Handbrake checks several locations for libdvdcss.
If you download the *.dylib file itself, rather than the package installer, you can manually install it in one of the user writable locations.
You can easily install the *.dylib manually into /usr/local/lib with SIP enabled.

If I install this, will handbrake work?
Adobe Acrobat Pro X is working, but it does have some bugs. When trying to save as a Reduced Size PDF, it won't let you save it in the same folder where the original file is. So, you can't replace the same file. I have had to save the reduced file to my desktop and drag it to the folder where the original file is and replace it.
My go-to photoshop program Adobe Elements 11, (lame I know but I can't afford CS versions) stopped working with El Capitan. I wasn't going to spend $150 on the newest version, especially not with the terrible reviews it was having. So I went with Affinity. Hopefully it does everything I need it to.
Hitachi StarBoard driver (I believe Version 9.5) ist not working.
Whole system crashes (automatic reboot) as soon as driver is loaded.
Until to today, Hitachi has not provided an updated driver on their site

I just got a Brother 3.0 software update from the App Store for Brother printers and scanners. I don't use the control center, but my all-in-one (MFC-J8350DW) is working with Apple's preference pane for scanning and printing.

Tested on OS X El Capitan and found to work.
I'll update the table momentarily.
Hi, can you explain to me how you got Brother software from App Store? I have Control Center 2.14.0 and I don't see an update option, App Store doesn't have anything sensible with "Brother" or "Control Center" in the name...?
I got a notification from the App Store when checking for updates. I do have a Brother Printer connected and I have downloaded Brother drivers from Apple in the past. Here is an Apple link with information about the update:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465
It wasn't the App Store, really, but the "updates" pane (used to be separate things in the past).
