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.
