Public Beta 4 not showing up

[Nunyabinez]

I have multiple machines running El Cap public beta. My iMac with Retina is not finding the beta 4 though all my other machines have found it. Any idea about how to force this? Would I be OK reinstalling the original beta and installing all the updates or is that a bad idea?

I seem to remember there is a terminal command to force the beta showing up (at least for the DPs, no idea about the PBs).

Maybe someone can share it?

Actually, I now think my problem is a little more complicated. Because I'm impatient I decided to just give reinstalling a shot. It failed with the error about MBR and GPT incompatibility, I don't remember the exact syntax, but I think my windows 10 Boot Camp messed things up. So likely I'll have to blow that away and reinstall windows to make this work.

I solved my own problem, but just in case someone has a similar issue in the future, here is a link to fix the "a mismatch between the mbr and gpt partition maps is not supported" error

Still no PB4 for me either. However after running the terminal command I do show DP6... I'm skeptic to install tho from PB3 0.0

I ended up re-running the beta install from my app list and installing the updates one by one. It took a while, but it actually cleared up a few issues I was having like getting notified that dropbox was being opened for the first time every time I rebooted. That's always an option.

It showed up still in my app store list. I just downloaded, installed, and updated. Didn't seem to cause any problems and got me through PB 4.

gotcha. Yeah I gotta try this when home. Been pretty unstable recently
