El Capitan and VoiceOver.

I use El Capitan daily on my macbook pro mid 2012 and it works just fine. Of course their are occasional bugs, but that's expected. I'd say go ahead and upgrade. Also, make a time machine backup if you can. That way if you seriously hate it, you can downgrade. In my opinion Yosemite was a horrible

I just finished a clean install of El Capitan. I still have a bit of work to complete but here is what I see so far. VoiceOver will say “There is no item with keyboard focus”. This occurs fairly randomly, both in native Apple apps and third party apps. You lose focus of the app you were

another bug that I am aware of has to do with safari. When you are is safari and command-tab to get to another app, it will sometimes keep placing you in safari no matter what you do.

Really, honestly, it's not that bad. If you want a system without bugs, build it yourself because it just does not exist. I think you'll find it difficult to produce. Sighted people have bugs too. It's not just us. In my opinion, upgrade and deal with what comes. It's the only way the bugs will

Re: El Capitan and VoiceOver.

As of El Capitan 10.11.4, I downgraded to Yosemite 10.10.5. Yosemite has issues, but nothing like the nonsense in El Crap, which Apple are clearly never going to get around to fixing until macOS 12 gets released. Activities and hotspots, which both matter to me, for example, are still buggered

I didn’t read about your specific bluetooth or voice issues but personally I find El Capitan pretty stable and good although I do run the public betas. Right now though I’m on 10.11.4 like everyone else and not hating it. But that’s me. Others may have specific gripes that just aren’t in my u
