Q: El Capitan 10.11.1 Install Problems

Forgive me - but this thread has drifted from the original issue! i.e. that MANY people have had problems - some severe - with the update from 10.11 to 10.11.1

I repeat what was asked earlier - if it worked OK on 10.11 - why problems with the latest .1 update (which was supposed to improve stability?  It took me four attempts to get the update to work from Yosemite to El Capitan - then I gave up after the further problems with the latest .1 release.

So, to sarcastic 'experts'  with bragging points - please, do NOT try an put other people down here. Do NOT use this forum to brag. TRY to connote the good work - and just give SOLUTIONS. 

You have said earlier that the problems are usually caused by 3rd party software which  is not (yet?) compatible with El Capitan.  I recall on earlier OS update that had a list of software that did NOT work with that update.  Also, was there not a facility from Apple at that time to move such software to a separate file?)

I have given up on this update - for now.  Fortunately I had backups on Time Machine and Super Duper

IF - I try again when my frustration has calmed down - I look forward to POSITIVE suggestions - which can realistically be 'filed'

Enough childish behaviour!  Give us clear solutions - to MANY (statistically significant) problems!  With apologies to statisticians!

Jim, I suggest that you start your own post, this one is full of unhelpful posters pursuing their agenda and frustrating the diagnosis of other posters problems. Rather selfish of them in my view.

I said that, not Richard, and suggestions for diagnosing the problem have been posted by me earlier in the thread. Whether you use my suggestions is entirely your choice.

What a sanctimonious comment. YOU stated categorically that Apple don't make any OS adjustments for reasons of 3rd Party software compatibility.

But Apple seem to disagree with you. They state:

• Improves compatibility with Microsoft Office 2016.

You clearly have made considerable contributions to helping people: however, it seems here you have become confused between wanting to be right and wanting to be helpful.

And file it where you like.

Once again, what does that have to do with this issue? or this thread?

I want it to stay on track, so I won't be answering any of your irrelevant questions, but if you ask a relevant one I will answer it.

Another helpful commetary from Csound1. Want you more point? *** .. #####

Try again.

Points are not given for posting, you would have some if they were.

Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Version 11.0.2 (31348). This is supposedly the latest version and the one I had installed when trying to load El Cap.

That is the latest version, but the Parallels user forum is full of people having problems with ElCap. Would you be prepared to remove it temporarily in order to try the install again?. I don't see anywhere on the Parallels site that even mentions compatibility so it might be worth trying, equally it could be a waste of time.

Download etrecheck and run a report, post the report here.

I just spend over 2 hours in the apple store with a wonderful tech that literally gave up and said I should wait until the next version of the update.  This is ridiculous QC before they launched OS X El Capitan.  It's had terrible problems with email right from the start and now the fix is causing computer operational problems.

Mr. Cook, someone isn't delivering the quality level to you that they used to deliver to Steve.

Please, lets get a new patch that works this time.

Do you want help or are you just expressing an opinion (the vast majority of users have upgraded without any problem) I can not recommend that anyone follow your advice.

You should find out what is wrong with your Mac before upgrading, whether or not it's this version or the next.

Why bring up Steve?

So you are very smart, I need help, sir lord of the apple-ring. I am one of this "few people" that had an issue with El Capitan upgrade. I am an apple fan, I have a macmini, two macbook, an ipad and an iphone. Until this week I have no problem with this, but after El Cap 10.11.1 I have my macmini crash in the apple screen. Do something useful for one time an tell me, how I fix this? If you are so smart...

Your attitude (sir lord of the apple-ring) is offensive.

Good luck

Once again, you don't tell any useful solution. Your superior attitude is ofensive too. Thanks for nothing...

Try to understand, I am not helping you because of your insulting remarks, there is no need to thank me.

Now you can wait for someone who is willing to help, try not to insult them.
