Just completed the Beta 2 update through the App Store.


Upon logging in the Dock did not show so I rebooted the machine one more time. This time the Dock shows but the App Icons are the paper and Pencil. When I try to open one it tells me the App is Damaged. I am able to open a finder window but when I go to the Applications folder there was nothing there for 15min and now there a some of my applications showing with the Progress circle spinning in the bottom right. When I try to scoll in the Applications folder it just show the pretty new beachball.


This is an iMac 27" Retina

Yep, this is exactly what I saw and have posted in my thread as well (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/6589)

I am about to attempt a clean install as none of the apps are working and everything just seems to hang

Some of the Applications are starting to show the correct icon and I have been able to run 1 or 2 but most of the apps are not running.

Yep I tried this over the course of an hour with a number of reboots and still wouldn't populate all. Disk Utility wouldn't run (in OS) so couldn't test there. I did try from the recovery partition and again it reported everything was fine. In the midlle of a clean boot back to beta 1 now and then pull the upgrade again. Seems strange that beta 2 is having more issues than beta 1 did which at the time I applied as an upgrade rather than clean. Will let you know how this fresh install goes.

I was able to see the permissions of the Disk Utility and it had 2 permissions for Everyone. One was Readonly and one was Custom but I could never get it to unlock to modify the permission.


It feels like the problem is bad file permissions but I could not open the console to see any error messages. I'm now doing a Recovery reinstall to the latest Beta to see if that is better.

If the problem persists and you still feel it is a permissions issue, see Tywebboooo's reply below.


Apple's position on system files permissions (from the DP release notes) is as follows:


"Disk Utility

System file permissions are automatically protected, and updated during Software Updates. The Repair Permissions function is no longer necessary."


You can force a permissions fix with the following command:


sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

That terminal command was available in DP1 but has now been removed in DP2.


So the only way to still run it is via a bootable DP1 usb installer.


I tried it in my 10.11 recovery partition (after the DP2 updates) and that didn't work either.
