Download DiskMaker X. This will create a bootable USB drive with the installer you download from the app store.

As I said, I went to the app store, searched for El Capitan, then in
the search results, I clicked on El Capitan, then install.

Let me clarify what I meant by "Manual update."  All I did was to
search the mac app store manually from the toolbar for El Capitan,
find it in the search results, and then manually click on install
rather than letting Software Update find it for me.

Nevertheless, it's about 5 or 6 gigs, give or take.

The important thing is you are up and running with 10.11.2.


     As for the manual download, you can get any software from the
Apple.com website from the support page. Just do a search for the
manual updater for El Capitan.

John,

I definitely only have one Apple ID, and it was already signed
in.  that said however, I did sign out and back in.  I don't
recall if I rebooted or not, though with my level of tech skill,
it wouldn't surprise me if I did.

Chris.

   I’m assuming you had already gotten up and running with
10.11.1 before you tried the update? I probably would have signed
out of the Mac App store, rebooted the system and then signed
back into the store just to see what would occur. There are a
couple of factors, but that would depend on there own factors as
well, such as Apple ID’s being used, ETC.

Guys,

This isn't really a big deal per sé, but it does have me a
little bit curious.

I have a white polycarbon mid 2010 13 inch macbook, which has El
Capitan.

For some reason, my mac got really really sluggish, and was
practically locking up every second I'd turn my head.  I ran all
the necessary disk and permission repairs etc.  Nothing at all
seemed to be helping.  My suspicion is that I had an app
installed which was really bogging down the system, although
even looking through Activity Monitor, it was a little hard to
determine.

For this reason and a few others, I went ahead and bit the
bullet by simply just repartitioning the drive, wiping it, and
starting clean.  The weird thing is, I noticed when I went to
the mac app store to download El Capitan, so I could use Disk
Maker X to create my bootable media, I noticed that 10.11.2 was
available, although, I only had 10.11.1.  Weirdly enough, though
I am not on any beta, private nor public at this given time, and
though I'm not currently even enrolled with this mac for the
beta in the first place, Software Update simply put, would not,
try as I may, let me install nor download the 10.11.2 update.
It kept telling me no updates were available.  I say it's not a
big deal, as I simply just went the manual route, and manually
downloaded it, but why would it be there in the app store, yet
Software update not see it?  To me, that makes entirely no
sense.  Yes, I have my security settings configured in System
Prefs to notify of OS updates, and never have I had an issue
like this previously.

It just has me a bit bathled.

Any ideas?  As for the post news of this message, LOL, I did
manage to get 10.11.2 installed from the manual download/install
I performed.  I also have found that things no longer are
sluggish at all.

Chris.
