One "Yes, But!" re: El Capitan and loss of scanner capability
Yes, but
Apple continues to send daily reminders to "update to El Capitan"!!? Big banner ad at App Store, too.
While still with Yosemite and early after El Cap release, I Googled "problems with El Cap upgrade" (to no avail), and finally sought the advice of Apple Care last year about upgrading to El Capitan. I was told to wait until the kinks were out. I figured well OVER a year was enough time for Apple to identify those kinks, iron them out, and, most important, WARN its users of the likely MORE COMMON possibilities of particularly noisome problems, like suddenly losing one's scanner.
Had I been forewarned about possible scanner issues I would not have upgraded, and would have waited until I purchased a new Mac, and at that point, and under no duress, I would simply have purchased a new scanner/printer. It's the SURPRISE about which we're all gnashing our teeth. Seems to me OS still in Beta should not be released. Couldn't there have been a neat list somewhere on Apple Support (?) that, AFTER a YEAR"S TIME, would delineate customers' various issues resulting from a particular upgrade?
I think those non-existent ALERTS/WARNINGS would have been a nice "gesture" and a wise business move to improve customer relations. Any attempt to ease the transition from one OS to another would have been greatly appreciated.
I will contact my printer manufacturer today and berate them, too.
So, 'nuff said.
