[feriamsidera]

Also noticed...

Character Map has a new mini character map view. Brightness and Volume screen notifications have changed as well.

it appears iTunes and Mail still freeze up when you try to shut down. sigh

New Screen Brightness and Volume UI

They also updated the Screen Brightness, Volume, and Keyboard backlight overlay UI's

shoot it killed my right speaker i think. sound only comes out from the left side on my rMBP

also no noise when i change the volume

Make sure your Output Balance is in "middle"

Turn on " play feedback sound" under sound effects.

Looks like a reinstall is needed if a restart doesn't do the trick.

It happens, I'm sure you know what beta means.

This happend before a restart, it got stuck so I pressed some keys to get the force quit window, I then force quit TextEdit, but strangely it didn't work, wasn't open either, the Dock could still be used and opened Activity Monitor, then I got this, also when I opened TextEdit, all menu's where like Glass.

I eventually just held the power button, restarted and all is well.

Except for the very slooooowww boot proces, Installed it on a HDD, my SSD is much faster though but that is my main System, to early to use Yosemite as my daily System although it is stable.
I am worried that it won't boot if I enable Trim, I already had this a couple of times with Yosemite.

Cheers for that, My sound was also off, wow, that new sound is much better, BUT the Icon for it sucks big time.

Both OS updates were perfectly in sync the last weeks - so why not the final rollout in contrast to the latest predictions? Ok, the server's workload might be the biggest problem...

... in a compact row like TVs have done since the 1800s..

1800s, eh?

JUST FOUND: These were really hard to notice but they have tweaked the Movies, Pictures & iCloud Drive sidebar icons!

 

[8CoreWhore]

Not sure if I should even attempt to download it

Not unless you are one with Google Internet, which they are moving to - away from ATT. Up to 5X faster.

To use continuity. I do a lot of graphics design and it'll a huge feature that I can just drop off the graphics directly to the iPhone/iPad instead of going through Dropbox and the like

You should try Skala Preview for live graphic previews.

Does this beta allow us to send Text Messages? For some reason Beta 4 didn't let me.

Do you have an iPhone running iOS 8? If not, that won't work.

I do. It's weird, it must have been a bug or something. It's not that it denied the text from being sent, but more so I would send it and then the text would disappear and never get received.

Can't disable Dark Mode.

Anyone else got this issue?

im with the same problem here...

try out terminal but nothing...
and I hate dark theme.

Hmm.. now that I think about it, I couldn't send Text Messages either. I just tried it and it works fine now I haven't really cared for that feature so much since my friends use iMessage, but yes, I encountered that issue my self.

I guess, the best thing to do is file a bug report with apple at this stage.

That happened to me in the last DP, but it appears to be fixed now.

Has the green in stocks been darkened a little? I feel like it used to be more minty. It's definitely more legible darker.

The Finder's copy window has rounded corners again:

Now if we could get a drop down that would give us additional copy/move details that would be nice. (keep it slender by default, but have a rotating triangle or something to show more details)

It definitely was - I just checked and watched it switch over to the new color

Not unless you are one with Google Internet, which they are moving to - away from ATT. Up to 5X faster.

And then they call steel all your data even if you change your search engine. I'll stick with slow speeds.

It keeps getting better and better

Guys, please someone to check the sleep - awake issue ? With PB1 the iMac freezes after sleep mode and cannot be awake.
