El Capitan beta Can't open Logos 6

Obviously didn't check before I installed to see if it was compatible. I assumed Yosemite and El Cap were probably close enough in versions that it would be no trouble.

That said, now I can't get Logos 6 to open.

Anyone have an idea when we might see a Logos version that will open on El Cap? Or am I just better off reinstalling Yosemite?

Just a follow up to my post last night, I elected to wipe my hard drive and restore it using an image I stored on my Air Port Extreme from June, before installing 10.11 Beta.

I was pleasantly surprised that my Air Port Extreme backup gave me choices to restore images going back months ago and the option of installing an image that predates Yosemite. Interesting and comforting.

My restore took all night, and I kept waking up to see if it was still restoring. By this morning my hard drive was fully restored to June 26th and both Logos and Verbum work perfectly.

Oh, on another note, the Public Beta of iOS 9 works great and there are no issues with Logos/Verbum on my iPad Air or iPhone 6. All is well on that front.

Bottom line: BACK UP often!

God's richest blessings to all of you as we live and learn....

Can I simply restore without installing Yosemite or is this a double procedure?

I took one of my computers back to Yosemite. It was not as simple as going back to an old Time Machine backup but it was not too much more difficult. I had to reformat the computer and then reinstall the Yosemite backup. It is a bummer that Logos does not play well with El Capitan beta. It is the only program that I am having trouble with in the beta. Unfortunately, I need Logos so often that I have no choice but to go back and wait for it to deal with the issue.

El Capitan does not seem to offer much over Yosemite anyway, so it isn't like we are missing a whole lot of incredible features or anything.

Thank God, I was able to revert back to Yosemite, as well. It wasn't entirely painless. For some reason my backups were not 'system backups', i.e., they only had apps and user files, so I had to wipe the drive, install a fresh copy of Yosemite, and then restore all the apps and user files. When it was done, however, I was impressed by how well it restored everything.

As for this thread, may I make a suggestion? Obviously, complaining about Faithlife's handling of this issue is fruitless, because its policy is clear. I would be happy to see more technical information from Faithlife or experienced users explaining why it's not working, whether it's a simple fix, how we can help, etc.

Faithlife generally doesnt take time to provide that info in the forums. The people "in the know" are hopefully working on a fix. [;)]

whether it's a simple fix

Bradley just mentioned that a FAITHLIFE fix will bring it to compatibility... so it is on FL's side (not their fault, just their side). I <hope> the fix will be simple enough so that beta testing can complete its course and be up and running by El Capitan release date.

I just installed Logos 6.5 beta 3 on my El Capitan machine. Life is good again. Everything works perfectly so far. Thanks for getting that out Logos.

Logos 6.4 is now working for me on the latest beta of El Cap (15A226f) that was released today.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. [:)] Are you on the developer preview?

I've never even heard of the developer preview, Alabama. I just searched out the 6.5 beta and downloaded it. Thanks.

Here is the information you need to join the beta:

Click on "Mac" about halfway down the page.

I was responding to Al. The "developer preview" is a different beta channel for OS X and has nothing to do with Logos.

The new public beta 2 of El Capitan released today, still works fine with the Logos 6.5 beta. I actually ended up trying out Accordance because of all this. WOW is that a fast Bible app.

Thank God, I can also confirm that Logos 6.4 (not the 6.5 beta, although that seems to work, as well) happily runs on El Capitan Public Beta 2.

I am not. I'm on the AppleSeed program which is different from developer program and public beta.

Updated El Capitan Beta to v3 public and Logos started up just fine. Downloading resources now to check out how it functions. This is good news indeed. Logos crashed on the v2 public, so, more optimistic.
