10.4.11 Builds 8S151/8S2151 Distributed For Testing

[Peace]

Yes, it is obviously under non-disclosure and if you had a genuine copy of 10.4.11 (assuming for the purpose of this discussion that it exists) or even Leopard you would be a beta-tester with Apple, which is by invitation only.

The fact that you state in error that there is no Apple forum to discuss seeded betas proves that you are not a genuine beta tester. If you were you would have access to it.

Please point it to me.I've been a Select member for 5 years and I've seen no discussions anywhere.

Bleh, where's support for the fact that 10.4.10 and subsequent airport updates crippled my airport with linksys routers.

You said it. I'm tired of updating in the hopes that my airport will work without hacks only to have to hack it all over again. If 10.4.11 doesn't do it I'm gonna go fisty-cuffs with Steve J

Hmmmm, a few weeks away eh. I wonder if that means Leopard won't be released till the very end of October, like the iPhone.

Oh yeah! There is no way we are getting Leopard before then. I am pegging the 30th of October as the day of Leopard's release. It is the most logical thing, but at least it's not 2 years late!

I had a Select membership since the Mac OS X public beta and there never was any indication of discussion forums from ADC. I'd think that it was a Premier-only feature but as I recall, they didn't mention it in the membership description.

So, the question is, where are these forums?

Have any developers tried this update on their broken macbooks? Will it finally fix the wifi? (or is this something you can't share due to your NDA? )

Question:
I have the Apple grey discs that came with my iMac, 10.4.9;
will I be able to update to 10.5 with a new 10.5 (grey) system disc, or do I have to go buy a black box skeleton update.
what does apple charge for updates?

I don't understand what a "black box skeleton update" is, but the grey system restore discs are generally only usable on the model they shipped with. So no, you won't be able to get system restore discs from another Mac after 10.5 comes out and use them.

All retail copies of OS X are full installation copies, meaning they allow but do not require you to overwrite an existing installation (you can install onto a blank newly formatted drive). They typically cost $129US for American retail buyers and $69US for American educational buyers.

You buy and install a black version, then you can add the bundled software from your existing grey version.

Personally, my wish list includes iSync support for my Samsung M610.

Other than that, bug and/or security fixes aside... I'm good.

This is awesome!

Alright NFS fixes!

I can't believe this patch will stop all those bank charges for bounced checks.... oh wait that would be NSF fixes... my bad....

well any upgrade is good in my book.... excluding Vista of course!
