for those who don't see the update:
Download and install the seed configuration utility again.
Works!
Works for developers with their version of the seed configuration utility.
But it won't work for the public beta testers version - because apple still haven't uploaded a public seed version of this build to the swscan.apple.com server.
Funny thing is that public seed testers still have access to build 13D45a, but developers don't anymore.
There are still files called
OSXUpd10.9.3PublicSeedPatch.pkg
OSXUpd10.9.3PublicSeed.pkg
OSXUpdCombo10.9.3PublicSeed.pkg
on the server for build 13D45a for public seed testers, but for developers the files are called
OSXUpd10.9.3Patch.pkg
OSXUpd10.9.3.pkg
OSXUpdCombo10.9.3.pkg
and these are build 13D55.
The mac app store will determine which of these to download depending on the os x version you currently have installed and which seed configuration utility you have installed.
Different versions of the utility will give access to different files on the server. For example, a while ago build 13D19 was released only to apple staff. Developers never got this build.
Apple has way too many $billions in their pocket to being crowd-sourcing (and without any sort of monetary reward, to boot) beta-testing of an operating system. Hire more people, Apple. Apple could literally afford to have two thousand guys in a huge auditorium doing nothing but beta-testing OS X all day. They wouldn't reguire a huge salary, either. I'm sure a number of computer geeks out there would be willing to do that for $10/hour. It would come with the prestige of being an Apple employee
I had this problem with my Acer monitor. You have to force the rgb signal through terminal.

Just follow the instructions.
There is a good reason for the delay in releasing it to public beta testers (or for that matter not releasing it at all to them).
Lets say the build is a disaster and ruins your mac. Developers are probably better at fixing it than the general public. So it makes sense to give it to them first - just in case it is a disaster.

I wonder how many of you have been beta-testing OS X pre-release versions for a long time as developers (or folks who founds a way around that old requirement), and how many of you just started taking advantage of the fact that the OS X Beta Program is not available for everyone.
I would love to run beta programs just to get a peek and what new features are on the horizon; in fact, I have the regular Chrome and the Canary chrome installed, but I doubt I want to Beta-Test the very thing that makes my iMac tick. I have a MacBook Air which I use only sparingly, but even that one doesn't deserve to be running buggy software.

I know of this hack and it doesn't solve my blurry fonts. I still think Apple should fix this issue, because everything runs smooth on the same rmbp late 13 under windows.
still no sign of the update showing for me (public beta)
I had the Utility from the original 10.8 beta it came with...made the mistake of joining the public seed...I found that redownloading the Utility (mavericks compatible) re-enanabled the Dev Seeds 13D55 appeared~
Just replaced my public seed utility with the developer one and now the beta is showing.
Does anyone know what the seed configuration utility actually does?
Just wondering if it simply updates a plist file or is more comprehensive.
If updating the seed util works to get the update working/showing. would there be a simple plist (or similar) to edit instead?
Yeah. That's very clever.
But now you are getting the developer seeds without having to sign up as a developer. As is quite evident in this thread by now, clearly they are not necessarily the same as the public beta seeds.
Do the macrumors moderators have a problem with this being put on here?
I saw somewhere that there is some macrumors rule about not doing this on here.
I think it was this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1594308/
If that's the case I will happily remove it.
For those who don't see the update:
Download and install the seed configuration utility again.
I've done this twice yet still the new build doesn't appear in the app store.
