I got Jaguar 6C92! Here is what I think... (screenshots)

[icetraxxg5]

I just got Jaguar 6C92 and I gotta say this is the GREATEST operating system EVER!

Everything is awesome, Instead of saying how nice it is why don't I just show you?

*I will post screen shots in about 10 minutes so check back soon* :)

[icetraxxg5]

Jag 6C92 is VERY, VERY stable! Here is the desktop (and the new desktop image!)

[jelloshotsrule]

what's the capture app you're using?

[icetraxxg5]

applications folder...

[icetraxxg5]

The Bluetooth File Exchange and the MIDI setup icons have changed... again...

[jelloshotsrule]

i must say, these images are getting me more pumped than ever... i don't know why. i guess it's cause since i tried jaguar, and it was less than fast, i was a bit put off... hearing about how quick, stable, etc it is is promising... should be sweet.

[icetraxxg5]

I am using Copernius.
I still have some more screenshots to post and take...
I am only really going to show whats different from the think secret (Jag 6c75) builds of jaguar interface wise.

[Megaquad]

show us system prefs!

[drastik]

Woo-hoo!
How stable is it? I would love tohave it in a week or so. Its too much to dream fro wendsday, but Mid august looks promissing now, especialy with the release of QT 6 today.

[icetraxxg5]

I am working On it! Stick around before apple kills this thread! I will get the sys prefs soon!

Here is the new jaguar spinny cursor, THEY CHANGED IT AGAIN! AHHH ITS THE 10.1 SPINNY DISC BUT AQUAFIED! LOL

[sevag1]

do you know if 6C92 is GM?

[icetraxxg5]

I liked the earlier jaguar builds Aqua Blue spinny cursor... but oh well...

It took forever to get that picture of the cursor because the thing is so fast you RARELY see it!

I have found 2 bugs in jaguar so far. In IE the text is glitchy and in the finder keyboard shortcuts dont work. Thats all I have found so far!

More screenshots soon!

[icetraxxg5]

As requested here is the new System Prefs...
Sorry I can only put 1 screenshot per post :-( and I cant put the images on my iDisk (which is REALLY fast in jaguar) because apple would delete them

[sevag1]

What system are you running this on? speed, mem, etc..

[sevag1]

also could you see if ichat is stable now? thnxs and post a pic of it too :)

[jelloshotsrule]

interesting... the build i had had the "digital hub" prefs.... that's gone now eh?

too bad, was kinda cool i thought. though seems the "hardware" area is where some of the stuff is.... word

ps, copernicus sucks/doesn't work for capturing movies. but it's free, so what can i expect

[macktheknife]

Do you mind letting me know where you got it? Did it come with Jaguar?

Man, I'm hoping that Jaguar can speed my TiBook up. I've had to resort to playing Warcraft III on my cousin's Dell laptop because that lag on my TiBook was too awful to ignore.

[icetraxxg5]

I have a 500mhz iBook Dual USB... QT6 opens in 1 bounce (cold)!!!!!!
System prefs in 2 1/4 bounces!
iChat in 3 bounces! (iiChat is now more stable and refined... Nice job apple!)
and ect...

I love jaguar and I know NOBODY will be disapointed!

I say Jaguar 6C92 has a few minor bugs that could be corrected in less then a week!

I will post more screen shots soon... If anyone wants to see a screenshot of something just ask.

I am not telling anyone how to get it and I will NOT burn anyone a CD of 6c92, OK?

[sevag1]

would you say jaguar is a bigger update than 10.0.4->10.1 .. speed performance wise??

[icetraxxg5]

Here is about this mac... (It says MacOS X version 10.2 so its offical... Its 10.2)


MacOS X 10.1-jaguar is MUCH bigger then from 10.0.4 to 10.1! the speed difference is more then 10.0-10.1 and the added features/interface is MUCH, MUCH more then 10.0-10.1

[icetraxxg5]

(forgot to post picture)

[sevag1]

thats crazy

[sevag1]

hmm what else....

hows boot up speeds?

and

is the scroll bar lag issue fixed, like when you scroll in IE or in the finder through a lot of files

[icetraxxg5]

When you get a new message in iChat the scrolling is beautiful and scrolling in the finder and IE is just excellent.:D

[McFreggle]

This looks GREAT!

Just a shame the preference icon for 'mouse' isn't a two button scroll mouse :D

k.

[sevag1]

hey icetraxx could you PM me your AIM sn ? i have a lot of other questions :) and talkin trhoguh aim would just be easier imo

[Insane]

I don't like the colorful beachball. Bring back the blue one...

there was an all blue beach ball? since when?

[icetraxxg5]

You know the digital hub thing?
Well thank god apple got rid of that... They converted all those prefs into a nice and neat "Cds and Dvds" as you can see in the sys preferences.

Apple should bring back the blue spinning cursor that was in earlier builds also.

Since the first public previews of Jaguar ;-)

i don't know... they haven't served anyone with cease/desist order in a LONG time... since that one red mobo ;)

there's been quite a few diverse (and believable) rumors that i don't know what to think anymore...

hopefully time canada doesn't screw anything up this time around... i wanna be surprised (too bad i can't stay away from these forums ;))

[icetraxxg5]

all these .Mac rumors and .Mac is just short for www.mac.com
LOL!!!!
In the system help is says iTools and it lists iTools as one of .Macs services! HAHAH and everyone thought they renamed iTools .Mac and is going to charge people for it! LAMO

[icetraxxg5]

Apple still will probably charge for other (new) .mac services though...

And IE in jaguar IS VERY FAST.. I forgot to mention that.

No more screenshots will be posted... I want the rest to be a supprise to you and I dont want to get introuble. (If you really want to see something in jaguar find a way to email me)

[kungfu]

...

[Zenith]

I have 6C85 installed and the bootup time is about 30 secs! ;)

Including login....


I have to agree with icetraxxg5. Jaguar is the BEST OS EVER! And 6C85 is known as being a slow build, but I think it's darn fast! Especially faster than the dev seed which I also have tried out.

Can't wait for wednesday!

<edit>Uhm.. This was ment as an reply to a question about bootup time. But I didn't notice the second page of the thread... :p </edit>

[Zenith]

icetraxxg5: are you using iChat? I'd like to try i out, but I don't got any friends who use AIM.

[icetraxxg5]

yep

[dongmin]

Have you tried running Photoshop or Illustrator in Jaguar?

I too have a 500 mhz Icebook but have been reluctant to move to 10.1 b/c it seemed so much slower than 9.2. I was hoping that Jaguar would make it worth while for me. From your posts, it sounds like it.

How much RAM are you running?

[spuncan]

Hey Zenith just wondering how do u have a avatar yet u only have 94 posts?
As for Jaguar looks very nice can't to get my hands on a newer build i've been using the WWDC version for a while now.

[icetraxxg5]

I have 384Megs of ram and everything is very fast.. Much faster then a low end P4 in windows XP i would say! and I am on a G3!

he won the avatar contest


as for jaguar.... does the dvds and cds encompass the whole digital hub? ie, digital cams/camcorders, etc? i thought that was a pretty handy feature.... it doesn't seem like it would fit anywhere in the system prefs you posted..

[taeclee99]

Hey icetraxxg5,

Can you post the desktop image for us ( a non screenshot)? I want to use that as my desktop. Or send it as an email to taeclee@yahoo.com?

thanks

[icetraxxg5]

yep, they are all in the DVD and CDs pref pain

[jelloshotsrule]

WTF? You're right, it DOESN'T fit, not by a long shot. Why would they do such a stupid thing? I don't get their organization sometimes...

Not sure if this relates, but one of the new items in Screen Effect is .Mac screen saver. i attached the screenshot from the config. button.

it seems that it will use pictures from people's idisks if you know that person's .Mac Membership name. Notice it doesn't say iTools name, but .Mac name.

That to me seems that there may be a change in services/nomenclature, if not a charge for services.

yeah, it could certainly keep people from finding the prefs if they don't know they're there.... not sure how a digital cam/scanner fits in "cds and dvds"... i DO think they should all be in one pref, but why not have a "digital hub" pref or something..... hmmm

[mmmdreg]

*drool*...I want Jaguar at MWNY...It looks sooo good now...

[Computer_Phreak]

I know how to get Jaguar... just download it via peer-to-peer

No: at least not in the version I have. doesn't have the stuff about scanners, cameras, iPods, etc. It deals only with CD/DVD issues.

Maybe this is stupid, but could it be that the preference pane is installed the moment you attach an iPod, digital camera, ... for the first time??

This way Apple makes sure the Prefs don't get too cluttered for ppl that aren't using an iPod, or a digital camera, or...

I really hope so, because I thought the digital hub thing was a very good idea, and it would be a shame if it was gone.

k.

[mr_natural]

How is gaming in the latest build of Jaguar? Is is still slower and choppier than 9? Or has it finally met and/or exceeded performance found in 9?

I just tried this with my iPod, and no, no other pref. pane popped up. I hadn't thought about this earlier, but what you suggest is how the Ink prefs work.

When you plug in a tablet, the ink pref pane become available, making the harware set become 2 lines instead of 1. Maybe that is how they will handle cameras/ipods/dv cameras/scanners in the final build. It would be nice to have the options appear when they are useable.

[swahilibill]

can you post that real background image that was seen in the first picture , it is really viscious, thanks

[matthewyellis]

All OS X users have been using the first version of a brand new OS up to this point. For all the complaints I have heard, OS X 10.0 - 10.1 is the best first version of an OS (period). Windows XP is the sixth or seventh (I forget!) version of the OS (and it still doesn't work the way it should). Classic Mac OS (which I have never used since I came on board with the OS X wave) was the ninth version of the OS. Now we are looking at the second version of this remarkable system known as OS X. OS X is already past Windows XP and Classic Mac OS (from rumors and leaks) on the second version! That is progress. OS X is now not only potentially the best OS ever it is the best OS ever.

<end of rant>

Gaming in 10.2 seems smoother than 10.1. i have a GeForce 2 Mx on the G4. I would like to see how smooth it would be with a GeForce 4 TI. Is this the screen you wanted. Ask for more screens, it's no problem. This is 6c92.

[sjs]

I own currently own computers running W98, W NT and W XP. Ihave to say the latter two run pretty well, though not perfectly. But they hold no candle to what I am seeing here for sheer elegance and good taste. In fact XP is just plain goofy looking. Cheers for 10.2!

[taeclee99]

I love the new desktop pic in Jaguar! It is really wicked! Can't wait til the end of the month when I get my new tibook.

[kungfu]

what was that last desktop pic? was that windoze converted to x?

[Rower_CPU]

I've heard that there's at least one more build coming out...

[menoinjun]

Yes, it's very easy to make XP look like a mac. You can tell from the obvious windows logos, but better from the default windows font used and the lack of picturesque buttons.

If people want to us OS X so badly, BUY A MAC.

Losers. I don't understand it.

-Pete

[King Cobra]

I like the screen shots, but...

I find it wierd that you guys are getting in all these requests for pics when you could use PM or email to keep the post count down. :rolleyes: :D

[swahilibill]

voyagerd. I meant the background in the screenshot, the actual background, any way to attach that as like a JPEG or something, thnaks

I changed my xp desktop into a mac one because it makes the hideous windows experience a more pleasant one. Choosing to make windows look like a "psuedo" mac does not make one a "loser." Calling people "losers" only serves to reinforce the notion that mac users are "snobs."

Admittedly OSX is the best desktop os on the planet. However I refuse to buy a mac just to use OSX because of the exorbitant prices Apple charges for less than state of the art hardware (ie pc133 ram, slow bus). I am eagerly awaiting to see what happens tomorrow. If Apple releases new towers/laptops with faster processors with DDR support, I will be the first in line to buy one.

[voyagerd]

oh, ok, here's Aqua Blue

[voyagerd]

and here's Aqua Graphite:

[taeclee99]

Thanks Voyagerd!

[Grokgod]

Mmm these are interesting builds, but what would you guys say to the FINAL coming out tomorrow to ALL admins on CARRACHO.

The defiant act VS the screwed up costs.

Is this possible or mere imagination?

SOmeone asked if APPLE would be pissed if they knew we saw these images.

I wonder if they know how pissed most people are about the price gouges.

I wonder How pissed they are going to be when I get it tomorrow?

LOL

If they get ahold of it tomorrow there's a leak inside Apple...poetic justice...

I'd say we're still a couple of weeks from a final build...

[Grokgod]

Well it wouldnt be the first time nor the first leak!

In any event I will find out tomorrow.

Of course I am foaming at the mouth to SEND APPLE my message of Disillusionment in any way possible!


Send APPLE the message!

No New Purchases till you take the good stuff out of the closet and stop abusing us!

[dantec]

I can only find the Jaguar 2nd CD in Limewire. But i'm suspecting that is one of the early builds or the WWDC beta.

Would anyone mind sharing with me where you got this stuff ( a more reliable method than limewire). Maybe not posting it here ('cause of apple legal action) but by sending me a quiet e-mail (not at my .mac one, try cesa@freesurf.ch).

Thanks...

Dante

Well i'm going to my local Apple dealer in Lausanne, today, maybe I can ask if they have a couple 'extra' beta copies floating around...

[dantec]

So I found one perrson on Carracho who had it. But he got disconnected and he wanted an exchange.

His name is OS Xman. If anyone finds a build contact me immediately! --> cesa@freesurf.ch

[dantec]

So I've found lots of Carracho servers that have it, but they are sooo slow, and i've gotten disconnected after about 3 hours.

Just if you wnat to try they are: Steve's Job, German mac server and Xpander.

I have found many others than have Jaguar, but most of them you require a membership, and have to get a special download permission. Others like this one T3 which has Jaguar, is full all the time.
