Tons of Problems w/ OS X GM Release 10.11

All:


I'm experiencing a complete disaster for the first time ever with a GM release of OS X. 10.11 is a continuning nightmare. I don't know why the GM is so bad when all the prior betas seem to be just fine.


1) The inital installation caused me to be unable to launch any applications. None. I've recovered from that using the usual profile recovery methods and inheriting the home folder, etc. However....

2) I'm now unable to log in to *ANY* iCloud services. I thought this was due to the poorly implemented 2-factor authentication Apple is using (it's highly unreliable when dealing with app specific passwords) so I turned it off. I'm still unable to access iCloud services including messages, facetime, etc.


Right now I'm thinking that my entire keychain has been hosed. The problems are so surreal I may never really be sure. Welcome to Windows 10 by Apple for the Mac!

Same issues on my side! I think the keychain is the source of the problem: it lock itself and other services cannot access passwords (like iCloud services).

Exactly my thinking. I think some kind of weird permissions issue and btw I could not find a way to repair permissions with Disk Utility. I'm not exactly sure why this is. I hope they haven't depreciated this feature and/or removed it. It might have helped with this huge disaster!

Samen problem at my site.


Hope the bring out à Solutions in short term.
