El Capitan Upgrade

[Korky]

I've upgraded my MacBook Pro successfully - took about 45 minutes in total as it's a 6Gb download.

I've also installed the latest Photoshop and Lightroom CC upgrades and all seems to be working fine and dandy. I have two desktops set up (one for Lightroom and one for Photoshop) and that is working fine as well All looks good!

As usual when Apple release a new OS, there seems to be a few disgruntled folk having a bleat via the App Store, but the majority are giving it a thumbs-up.

Anyone else?

Never had a problem with Mac upgrades. El Capitan was as smooth an upgrade experience as ever. No problems at all.

Up to now no problems - I'll be doing the iMac tomorrow and I'll be sure to post any issues in this thread.

Update within an hour of it going live - I always do and have never had an issue - and I have to say my iMac is spinning along much quicker. Heavy lifting apps like Lightroom and Photoshop run about the same but app loading and switching is definitely smoother and faster.

 

Haven't hit go in the Adobe CC update as there are all sorts of issues that Adobe have acknowledged and are working to fix. I have a couple of friends who have and are giving feedback plus I know a LR Guru who is resting it and will give me an update.

And I am watching from the sidelines with interest ....

if you use microsoft office be warned that outlook freezes under El Capitain

To add to that - Word and Excel are fine.
The missus uses Excel every day and hasn't moaned at me (so it must be working) while I've been working on my CV in Word without any issues.

I'm still an iMac novice so would be grateful if you lads can keep me informed, please

Judy. I am finding some Topaz plugins are not working. But the fix is there. Just go to your Topaz account and reinstall the plugins again. All is fine.

I've had Lightroom crash a few times - Adobe are on the case it would seem.

How are we getting on with El Captain? I still have to upgrade and have been waiting awhile (never like to jump in first).

Rock solid and I can still feel the system navigation speed boost it brings.

Then I might let it download tonight, my only worry is Parrallels not working as good unless I pay to upgrade that too.

Can't help there as its not something I use.

 

On a separate note I might (still working on getting the go ahead) be getting a new iMac this Christmas. Mine is four years old now and while its still fantastic for day to day use its is starting to feel a little sluggish when I throw a SD card full of images at LR and PS. I've hung on for a while but the new 21.5" 4k version has piqued my interest. Been to see one and the screen is amazing. I will have it fitted with a Fusion Drive which makes a huge difference and (fingers crossed) an i7 so should get a good few years out of it. Mine will go to the kids who are pestering for a new computer and love to use mine so makes sense - it'll do them both right through school and college.

UPDATE...

upgraded but now having problems - Parralells is currently failing to open reinstalling to see if it will help.

UPDATE

Had to purchase new version of Parallels to work with El Capitan and so far everything is looking good.
