Works fine here since PB 1 when you had to use the terminal to launch Parallels with a No Compatibility check.

Adobe Acrobat DC is now able to edit and seems to wrk properly now with latest Public Beta and latest version of Acrobat DC.

Yea Adobe did an update Saturday night and everything seems to work now.

With the latest update, I also got a notification through the Updates panel and proceeded as normal to install. I also encountered the Download problem.

What I did to get around it was to go to the gibMacOS resource, but this downloads the whole installer. I just installed the latest beta on top of my previous version. I don’t recommend this. I couldn’t monitor what was going on because I had a meeting, but somewhere in the process, there was an error, and it stopped.

I booted into recovery and there was an option to redo the installation. It worked after that.

I would skip this update. Something didn’t seem right. It’s been problem free until now. They will probably have another update next week anyway.

The latest version is working well for me. Everything I need to work is working now. I may just wait till the final release (I say that now but next week, I’ll probably update again )

So Software Update is showing Beta 9 availability but after the agreement notice, it hangs at maybe 10 percent and then throws up a "Download Failed" error ever since last night (even after rebooting and yes, my network is running fine, otherwise). Anyone else having any luck with the update (I've got the Public Beta installed but Apple seems to have rolled it and the Developer Beta together)?View attachment 490176

If you're booting with OC, a couple of things to try, clean NVRAM, in config.plist check SIP enable/disable, then try download again.

Thanks, @esafeddie & @tedyun (for replying to what seems to be my now removed comment). I'll see if the fixes work and, if not, maybe I'll give gibMacOS another try at the whole installer but Beta 8 works fine so I don't really need to update BS at this point.

The latest public beta and the latest Developer beta I pretty sure have the same build number. And fix your CPU in your profile.

Thank you for reminding me to correct the slight oversight in my profile. Since we are here in the correction department, never place the word 'And' after a 'Full Stop' in the English languish

PS. Maybe you're in the position to explain why a post of mine with a screenshot of the same build data was taken down if the Public and Developer editions are now the same, but it really is not a matter for to me to worry over one way or another, we are all here to help one another even if sometimes it comes over a bit clumsy.

So latest public beta kept refusing to download during update for me so I re-enrolled in public beta and reinstalled (with exact same config.plist) and reinstall was a breeze. Couple of bugs that I was seeing since first public beta are gone.

First Violating grammar rules is not against the forum rules but your Profile was.

Second, while it is discouraged to start a sentence with the word "And" it can be used at the start of the sentence even after a full stop. This rule of not starting a sentence with "and" is mostly because they are teaching small children who have limited vocabulary. There are no rules in the English language that prohibit you from starting a sentence with any word including the word "and". My sentences were separate thoughts and not in conjunction with each other thus a "." was acceptable rather than a ",".

Your screenshot was probably taken down before the release was public beta was seeded to everyone and so it was assumed it was Developer beta but I am not a mod and I did not take your SS down.
