El Capitan buggier than a Roach Motel!

I upgraded to El Capitan and MAN IS THIS THING BUGGY ... reminds me of the Microsoft days when they just cranked out updates, anyhow since the update WHICH I NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL, here is a list of issues I am having of which Apple Support is aware but has not corrected yet:

Cannot back up my iPhone6 or my iPad2 to my iCloud account,
There is NO SECURE TRASH REMOVAL option available,
NOTES cannot be sorted like they used to be, alphabetical, in the past,
SPOTLIGHT SEARCH does not work,
iTunes will not share my iTunes Library to my AppleTVs,
SEARCH feature in NOTES does not work either,

I think that is about it ... Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

iCloud backups from iDevices is iOS/not OS X related

What do you mean by does not work? It works overtime I have used it.

....

iTunes not OS X issue.

The secure delete seems to have disappeared, even though it says it is still there in Mac Help

on an El Capitan install.

Can't comment on Notes since I never use it.

I personally have installed on 4 Macs from a 2010 Mini to a late 2013 27" iMac and have had no issues what so ever.

You may say that iCloud backup is an iOS issue, BUT ever since I upgraded to iOS 9.0.2 and Mac OC 10.11 it no longer works, at all ... ?

Literally, Spotlight Search DOES NOT WORK ... i.e., I have an app let's just call ABC and when I clicked Spotlight Search and entered ' ABC ' it could not find it, at all ... ?

Again, with iTunes BEFORE El Crapitan 10.11 IT ALL WORKED PERFECTLY, now ... NOTHING ... ?

Secure Delete - NOT in Finder > Secure Delete AND not in Finder > Preferences > ALWAYS USE SECURE DELETE - IS NOT THERE, NOTHING ... ?

I have my Utils, run my Disk Repair (First Aid) and restarted in SafeMode, all useless ... same issues, this machine is a November 2012 MacBook PRO and my 2013 iMac27 has EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS ... BUGGIER THAN A ROACH MOTEL ... feels like Microsoft all over again 😟

Odd, on my Macs which are a MB Air (2014), Mac Mini (2012) & iMac (2011) all of these things work perfectly with the exception of Secure Trash Removal which has been removed as it is no longer necessary. .

Wow. Did you make those statements up? Oh no, sorry, I see you stole one off the original poster and the other one is the oldest attempt at offending Apple users that there is.

Anyway, you are wrong. Whatever your point was that was lost in the babbling.

There is NO SECURE TRASH REMOVAL option availab

That's correct and it'a not a bug but a feature that was eliminated because, with SSDs it's not needed. If you need to delete a file and get the message

open the Trash bin, select the file(s) and use the key combination of Option+Command+Delete

or Control (right) - click on the file and select Delete Immediately.. from the contextual menu

to empty the bin.

You can use the Option+Command+Delete key combination from anywhere on the Desktop to send the file to the Trash and empty the Trash immediately.

SPOTLIGHT SEARCH does not work

Reindex the hard drive according to this Apple document: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

As for your other problems have you searched the various communities for others who have had the same problem and see what fixes were suggested for them? If you haven't then you should do so before coming back and ranting here.

Allan - ran it twice, once with iTunes open and once with it closed, here are the problems:

Launch Daemons: (What does this mean?)

[failed] com.parallels.mobile.dispatcher.launchdaemon.plist [Click for support]

[failed] com.parallels.mobile.kextloader.launchdaemon.plist [Click for support] [Click for details]

I am pretty sure those only deal with Parallels which appears to be running correctly.

User Launch Agents: (What does this mean?)

[failed] com.parallels.mobile.startgui.launchagent.plist [Click for support][Click for details]

I am pretty sure those only deal with Parallels which appears to be running correctly.

Other Apps: (What does this mean?)

[running] com.apple.xpc.launchd.oneshot.0x10000006.CCLibrary - Invalid signature!

That is basically it ... it was suggested to reIndex my drive:

SPOTLIGHT SEARCH does not work

Reindex the hard drive according to this Apple document: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

Which I will do in the morning ....

I recommend posting the complete EtreCheck report, not just a small section. We cannot get an accurate assessment without all the information.
