I tried updating to el capitan beta 2, my computer restarted and now its been stuck at 3/4 updated for hours now.

I cant log in to delete any affected files (which is what some other people said to do).

I cant hold cmd-r to enter recovery mode, it doesnt do anything even when I restart and hold it as soon as I hit the power button.

I tried booting off a external harddrive that i backed up all my stuff on a few months ago, that wont work either- it just gets me to enter my apple id then keeps on updating.

If anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated, my laptop is useless at the moment. 😟

Hi Cmj05sc,

I'm happy to try to help, but could you start your own thread as this one is already long and convoluted. Also it becomes complicated trying to help two people in the same thread, especially if they have different underlying issues - there seem to be at least 4 underlying issues that people have had with the lastest beta - so far only 3 have been identified.

Thanks,

Max.

I ran into the same issue with the release seed. This helped tremendously. Thanks!
