Sep 30, 2015 12:09 PM in response to lemachby Mayemac,I downloaded the Safari 9.0 update and is making my computer CPU go all the way up to 135% of use. This is in Yosemite MBP (retina, 15 inch, Mid 2014). Not sure if this is caused because I'm using the Capitan Safari version with Yosemite. So I'm in the process of downloading El Capitan and hopefully it will fix the Safari problem. It's downloading moderately fast and backing up as we speak.

Got the usual links ready.

Of course when asked if they backed up they'll say no. Don't forget those that
will also be ready to sue Apple for destroying their business because they depend
on their computers, but of course had no back up to return to.
As for me, my Macs are clean, apps and drivers up to date, cloned and ready to go.
Just need to decide who will be the sacrificial lamb .

Sep 30, 2015 12:12 PM in response to Mayemacby Old Toad,Did you repair disk permission after installing the new Safari? I had hundreds of permissions that needed repairing. I've had problems with previous system installs that were fixed by repairing disk permissions. Give it a try.
As I type this Safari 9.0 is shown at 2% under CPU activity.
Also, the El Capitan download in in the Featured section of the App Store. If that's already been mentioned in this thread my apologies but I didn't want to go thru every reply to this topic.

Sep 30, 2015 12:18 PM in response to Old Toadby Mayemac,Hi Old Toad!! I wished I knew about the disk permissions before updating it to Safari 9.0. I will do that now and thanks for the tip, its really appreciated
Edited to add: Yes, lots of permissions required repairs!

Sep 30, 2015 12:16 PM in response to woodmeister50by petermac87,Yeah, this will be the first OS X I haven't rushed into. Nothing jumping out to excite me with this release, but I will eventually. Seems to be a bit of a Mountain Yosemite (I made that up with such cleverness).
But as you say, so many will dive in with no backup, no idea and sadly, no hope.

Sep 30, 2015 12:21 PM in response to petermac87by Phil0124,How about Snow-semite?
Anyway, its downloading now, onto my Mac Mini. We'll see how it fares.

Sep 30, 2015 12:22 PM in response to petermac87by woodmeister50,The one thing I want, but might seem quite trivial, is the shake of the mouse to enlarge the cursor.
With My 27" iMac combined with my Thunderbolt display and my old eyes, I can loose my cursor
quite often.

Sep 30, 2015 12:24 PM in response to Mayemacby Old Toad,When doing a full system update I usually boot into the Recovery volume and repair both the disk permission and disk from there. With El Capitan repairing disk permissions is no longer a user instigated operation. EC is supposed to take care of that automatically.

Sep 30, 2015 12:36 PM in response to Old Toadby woodmeister50,I can normally follow it at its current size (knew about that setting) but sometimes flipping back
and forth between apps, displays, widowed/full screen, etc. it can just seem to get lost.
Thanks anyway.
Also, surprised there isn't already an "El Capitan" added to the communities.
