After 6pm - correlates to 10am Cupertino time.

New Safari was just made available for me, I guess the update will be here shortly.

Thanks for bumping.

Downloading now - Can anyone remind me how I get the file out of the App store so I can save it and use it on my other iMac?

Lovely, thanks.

Mine's currently copying to a usb drive, going to clean install and then copy important files back from Time Machine. Seems to be taking an age to copy files to the USB3 drive though.

If anyone wants the terminal input (assuming the installer is located in the default Apps folder):

Code:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/[COLOR="Red"][B]USB[/B][/COLOR] --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app

Just change 'usb' for the name of your external volume. I like my simple names

I'm on GM will try installing public version and getting back into normal release cycle. Otherwise fresh install ahoy.

I just upgraded last time via the app store and I'm debating doing the same this time round, laptop has always been nippy and fast, can you time machine back over wifi?

I've always just upgraded, seen no reason to blat and reinstall.

iMacMart · 30 Sep 2015 at 21:58

Upgrading my MBA as we speak

Aston998 · 30 Sep 2015 at 22:15

My is downloading at the moment

I did not know anything about it till about 30 min ago.. I will upload my thoughts onces its installed.

sbi5ar · 30 Sep 2015 at 22:49

Seems a bit nippier in places....

Beachballed a few times when I first loaded Safari but all okay now. Full screen - split screen is very nice and looks great. Cant tell too much else.... Oh I played around with shaking the mouse to point it out.

Bed time now

P.s. It surprised me that it was a 6 Gb download too... I thought it would be about 3 Gb (on par with previous installs)

MagicBoy · 30 Sep 2015 at 22:51

Just upgraded the rMBP. All seems well...

Would be interested in hearing how this runs on a Core2 Macbook. Not sure whether to go for this or call it a day at Yosemite, which is still fairly usable.
