Re: So, what is the beaf about El Capitan?

I am using El Capitan, although honestly, it is a strained experience, and if I had not now become accustomed to it, I’d find it hard to justify staying with it—perhaps I may yet downgrade, or switch platforms. As Sadam says, the real pain point is Safari: text editing, non-reachability of

Re: Changing spell checking languages in Text Edit

Hi Michael, Yes, I think you can do this like this: Start a new document or open an existing one you wish to spellcheck. Activate the spellchecking window. Move to the right side of the window where there is a popup button that says 'automatic by language". Activate it and you can arrow down

Yep I got the same results. Dredfull accessibility no matter what screen reader or platform used. I wish one could update the software over-the-air. I know the B speakers allow this. But then those speakers costs close to 1400. Might email Bose as well and see what they say. Sadam Ahmed

Installing El Capitin on an older Macbook

Hi. I am currently running Yosemite on a Macbook that I purchased in 2009. A couple of years ago, I installed two additional GB of RAM, giving me a total of 4 GB. I am wondering how prudent, or even possible, it would be to install El Capitan on this Mac. I haven’t encountered anything

Sadam, Remember though, you said beta. I'm not running the beta. I'm on the actual 10.11.1 official release. I'm not sure if that's rellavent or not, honestly. Again, I am not doubting for even a fraction of a second that lots of you have had, or still are! having trouble. Don't forget

No problems with El Capitan. As mark Taylor said most recently, leave well alone whilst El Capitan is installing as this is what I did and have suffered no issues. I had the clean install and did not interfere and no problems. I have no clue what is wrong as mine is rock solid. > On 22 Nov
