Looking forward to trying Apple Pay out some of the new features for iOS 9 do look pretty slick I must admit. Although, News =/= Flipboard, the multitasking =/= Windows 8, new Siri stuff =/= Goggle Now.

Hopefully it'll now stop being s**t. Yosemite has been a massive networking cluster f**k for me.

Apple's software QC has been unbelievable in recent years. Tons of stuff in 10.10.3 that still doesn't work properly and most likely never will.

Laughable!

100% agree, and it took them so f**king long to start addressing s**t too, I'm still forced to use a forced 5GHz Wifi connection because of drop-outs on 2.4 that have never been sorted.

Gotta say though, the headline additions are really gimmicky - so lets hope they put more effort into the stuff that matters this time round.

 

[Munson]

They won't.

 

[Jack!]

They won't.

Shame really, they seem to be veering away from what made them great and competing in the same way all other companies do.

 

[Munson]

I particularly like having to reset my PRAM after using an external monitor.

 

[Mitchell]

Most reviews I have read so far praise the performance and stability improvements over Yosemite, even in the first beta. Sounds promising.

 

[Jay_A]

Supposed to be released today. Should be interesting!

 

[AK]

Are the upgrades still free?

 

[Jay_A]

Are the upgrades still free?

I believe so.

 

[Advikaz]

Wonder if I'll notice any difference....

 

[Paprika123]

Hopefully sort the shutdown issues we're having with Mac Pro's lol.

Yours taking forever to shut down aswell?

Since the last update mines been slow starting up and shutting down.

They just freeze and are still shutting down when folk come back in the morning.

 

[Jay_A]

Installing on to my MacBook Pro now. Fingers crossed!

 

[AK]

My MacBook is just saying "No updates available", anyone elses?

 

[Jay_A]

Click on the featured page. It's there for download.

 

[Gavin.]

Installed, that was effortless. Not noticed much new bar the favourites popping up if you move your mouse to the left of the screen on Safari.

 

[CrippsCorner]

For the first time ever, The Verge (usually heavily criticised for being so Apple biased) have rated the latest version of Windows above the latest version of OS X :astonished:

 

[Gavin.]

I just couldn't got back to using Windows personally, I have to working in IT but not on my own main machine.

 

[Jay_A]

I must be missing something, because now when I close and reopen the lid, it doesn't lock the screen.

 

[Jay_A]

Another possible issue is I've noticed the battery seems to drain faster

 

[tsoob]

So... I should stick with 10.10.4 then?

 

[Jay_A]

Possible yes.

 

[AK]

Installed it this morning, really didn't notice any visual differences lol.

 

[Jack!]

I'll never move to another Apple OS upgrade near release date ever again, made that mistake with Mavericks and spent ages putting up with WiFi issues that they took an eternity to fix; in fact, they never really fixed them - I fixed it but I have to force my MBP to use 5GHz WiFi.

 

[Advikaz]

Installed mine.

Computer randomly turned itself off during installation. Like completely off...

Then was playing about starting again. seems okay now though.

Mine did that.

 

[dk]

Mine randomly turned off just after it was installed, screen went black and eventually came back with login screen. Been fine since.

I like the way you can move your favourite tabs to the left in safari as icons.

Had to enable my widgets page again too as it randomly disables it after the upgrade.

New notes are cool too

Any known bugs still about with El Capitan? Thinking about upgrading now, I want AirPlay to work properly, anyone know if they addressed AirPlay issues?
