Mac Users - do not upgrade to Mac OS X El Capitan (version 10.11)

This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

For those using a Mac, please be aware that we do not recommend upgrading to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) at this time. Microsoft has posted a notice indicating that Outlook 2011 currently does not work at all with El Capitan when connected to an Exchange email system like the University uses, and Office 2016 users are reporting frequent crashes of Outlook, Word, and Excel when used with El Capitan. These issues are likely to be corrected fairly quickly, but we urge University Mac users not to upgrade to El Capitan in the interim.
