I think everyone on this thread knows exactly where those belong.

They told you?

Or you just speculated again. You are one person, speak for yourself, self aggrandizing is childish.

Thanks, Alan. It is nice to know you live up to the reddit threads about you.

Thank you for providing me with another equally insightful piece of help. The number of people you have helped here is literally countless.

It is in no way countless, it can be simply derived from the number of points I have (along with some simple math) eg: your point score is zero, signifying that you have provided no help to anyone at all.

You do know how this forum works I assume (but now I am speculating.

Can I earnestly suggest that you follow what I did, and create a bootable installer on a USB stick using one machine and then boot the 'bricked' machine with it - see my method a few posts back.

I only add this as having to do a TM restore is a huge task, PLUS it may reinstall an OS that is faulty, putting you right back in uncertain territory for a successful .1 update.

At the risk of being accused of speculating, it may be that a small subset of us have a corruption in our 10.11.0 OS which is tripping up the .1 updater.

Based on your avatar, I’d guess you feel that the pen(-cil) is mightier than the sword. I largely share that view. But that doesn’t make writing exclusively a martial art. It’s my impression that you’re overusing it for battle - needless, inappropriate battle at that, at least as far as this thread is concerned.

We have created in Spain the next platform to inform against Apple for fraud by the El Capitan update 10.11.1. We are now in contact with lawyers because this is causing many problems for many users and it is costing a lot of money. If you want information send an email with the following information:

Thanks to all.

How is that relevant to the issue at hand?

You can have as many opinions as you wish, everyone does.

Why don't you tell Apple, you won't get anywhere suing me.

Wrong person, par for the course for you, nothing you post is correct.

Similar experience. My update to El Capitan went fine on my 5 year old iMac and it is running just fine. Different story on my late 2013 Mac Book Pro. Initial try froze at about 90%. Spoke to Apple support. They were very helpful and responsive and we tried everything they could think of to get a working copy of El Capitan on my Mac Book Pro. No luck. Used Time Machine to restore to Yosemite - worked fine as it had in the past. Called Parallels to see if there was some conflict between Parallels and El Cap. Parallels tech support said it was an Apple Problem -- not theirs. Gave it a few days and the .1 version of El Cap was available and the release notes said they had fixed some issues so I tried the update again. Same result -- froze at the black screen with white apple logo and progress bar at about 90%. Let it sit for several hours hoping the installer would right the ship. No luck. Used Time Machine to restore to Yosemite and all is working fine. Never had this kind of problem with Apple products before (Desktop, Laptop, iPad and iPhone owner). Will run Yosemite, Parallels and my other Apps on the Mac Book Pro until I am certain El Cap has been fixed.

Which version of Parallels? (version number and edition please)

Apple do not write different versions of OS X so that Parallels (or any other app) is compatible, it's the other way around. But shifting the blame is something that Parallels does well.

So what do you make of Apple issuing an OS update to apparently correct an issue with Office 2016?

Go start a new thread for a new question, this one is messy enough already.

What are you, the playground bully around here?
