4/12/2023 0 Comments Update mac os x el capitan![]() Whilst writing I’ll say that I agree with the sentiments of many others here (& elsewhere). ![]() It’s very slow, hopefully just reindexing, but seems to have completed the update. Waited about 15 minutes and screen went black and then back to grey loading screen, then after another 5 minutes I was able to login. I force restarted and it went pretty much straight to the grey Apple loading screen with dark bar about half complete. All us power users thank you apple for dumbing things down (not) :-) Even got the old disk utility to work thanks to a tweak I found on the web, making it possible to still control my RAID, which the new and dumbed down EC disk utility will no longer do. So, it looks like it’s 10.11.4 for me for the foreseeable future. Netflix would not work on it and it was just a matter if time before Apple would stop security update, so like many, I bit the bullet and upgraded to EC. I thought Mountain Lion had a much faster finder, but it’s Safari did not do the job and wasn’t being updated. Fortunately, I had a back-up and went back to 10.11.4 where I will stay, since things just work and Second Bar (2nd monitor menu bar app) is doing a good job of keeping apps on the preferred monitor. What it did do, was kill deep sleep on my MP 3.1 Tower and all the attached drives (7). Unfortunately, it didn’t fix any of the minor issues. Thought everything went smooth with 11.11.5 update and hoped it would fix a few irritating bugs, like app windows forgetting which screen they closed on and always opening on the monitor with the menu.
