10.8 All the Little Things!

The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."

Anyone?

My guess is this would be either a bug or compatibility issue, either in Mountain Lion or in your Zimbra server. For example, all through the DP2 period there was an SMB share at work I couldn't connect to; I'd get an error about the server's version of SMB needing to be updated. No longer have that issue with DP3. So Apple may fix it (file a bug report) or you may need to update your Zimbra server (if that's in your power). However, my work has 2 different Zimbra servers and I don't have this issue with either one of them.

Not sure how many of you are familiar, but some of these look strangely iOS specific and quite similar to some jailbreak tweaks. For example, these looks like straight up OpenNotifier replacement icons:

📅💬📞✉🔕

iOS 6? *cross fingers*

Also, this one looked a smidge familiar.

Looking forward to ML!

Looks like password sync may be coming.

Thanks. If this goes for all iOS devices, and you can even generate secure passwords and autofill usernames on iPhone. It would be pretty sweet. But chrome also syncs extensions and overall settings. But more is better anyway.

Im pretty sure that you have to buy it on the app store like the lion. Or if on the software update, its just to update your lion and your apps (lion into a new version like 10.7.3 or something).

I think software update is gone in 10.8. I can't see it being a software update.

does anyone have problem with alias?????????

[iDemiurge]

hey, decided to drop by your developers' thread cause I wonder if anyone can answer this question:

do notes and reminders sync via iTunes? Or is it via iCloud only?

Right now in Lion iTunes will sync my notes to the mail app, but I can't get it to sync reminders. It will sync calendars alright, but not reminders.

Thanx!

Consequently, I notice a nice little thing that's new. Finder displays the Mobile Documents folder as iCloud now, complete with the iCloud icon.

The ability to have folders with folders in the iCloud folder is enough for me to think about switching from Dropbox. In addition to the Time Machine functionality mentioned, is Versions also supported for documents stored in the Mobile Documents folder? I don't see why not but am just curious.

Now all I'd need is a nice way to sync PDFs between my Mac/iPad/iPhone and wouldn't need Dropbox for my documents anymore. iBooks for my Mac with syncing would be ideal...hmmm...

I think today's update fixed flash video on my 2009 MBP with the 9400M. I haven't been able to get a video to play in half-screen mode and then vanish.

Solowalker, your up!

[Sky Blue]

I've installed it and taken a look, but I'm not too good on finding new stuff.

[MikhailT]

Solowalker, you know you made it when people are waiting for you.

Can't wait to see what you reveal for us!

[Solowalker]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Work's a bit more busy today than it has been, but I'll try to post what I find.

New stuff seems a bit scant, but fortunately there are more bug fixes and performance optimizations. Nice.

Energy Saver has been cleaned up a lot. I assume all of the removed options are on by default.

Window screenshot cursor has changed to a small black camera instead of the Image Capture camera. (Anyone know where the cursor images are located or how to include the cursor in a screenshot? This one isn't an option in Grab.)

When closing an unsaved document, it's back to "Don't Save" now instead of "Delete." Bummer.

[osirisX]

Finder now has a Share button in the toolbar by default.

Like this in the previous build too. I have no clue why they removed all of this!

[Takuro]

New: Clicking the "x" button on an active Safari download from the dock will not only cancel the download properly now, but it'll also move the file to the trash for you automatically.

[PurrBall]

The blurriness in Notification Center seems to have been taken care of.

iCloud only.

Thinking about it logically, that makes sense; you can't delete a file that wasn't saved in the first place.

[PurrBall]

Disk Utility is showing all partitions now, even hidden ones such as EFI and Recovery.

Edit: My 6750m is doing UI animations wicked smooth in this build. Finally some decent drivers?

[osirisX]

The Open Dialog for Text Edit now has an options button.

[JuicyJones]

I'm not sure what the point of this update was but most of the bugs I had before still remain. Private Browsing in Safari is broken, Dragging and ungrouped window from Mission Control to a new screen will completely freeze the system and you will have to restart it to get out of missions control, HTML5 still crashes in Youtube, and Launchpad's still doesn't display properly on 1920x1080 resolution. I'd love to know what they actually fixed?
