Apple Issues Software Update to Mountain Lion Developer Preview 4

[kemo]

well, at first after installed dp4 I would just click the parallels icon and it would show up for a second then disappear. I just recently reinstalled parallels and now it opens, but gives me some virutalization error then won't start up.

These issues I was having on Parallels 6 since ML DP1, but didn't experienced any of these after updated to Parallels 7.

Are you sure you have latest version of Parallels 7?

Thanks, downloading now! Very happy with Mountain Lion thus far. I feel it is what Lion should have been.

When I was on snow leopard (for my now aging mac) it was very speed, but going to Lion on 4gb of ram I've noticed can feel slow at times, has this been addressed in Mountain Lion? my MBP is a 3,1 model 2.2ghz C2D.

That was there (provided you installed the FB Developer preview.)

Safari bug is fixed.

Was it? It must have defaulted to off then as it never appeared for me even with the FB Developer Preview installed.

The dock disappearing when accessing Launchpad is fixed.. But some games still not working..

I had spotlight issue. it cannot be activated occasionally neither by shortcuts nor by clicking the top right corn. Anyone has the same issue?

Yes, had that earlier today. Working for me now after update/reboot.

There's your answer, rdowty. Every update to the developer previews has done this of late.

Hopefully this fixes the odd Safari bug I found. You couldn't start any string in the location bar with the letter "r" without it crashing when you typed any letter following it.

I thought I was alone! That was so strange...

How do I go about testing Facebook integration then? Is there is a separate installer?

 

[bushido]

they got rid of the "Power Nap" toggle on none-supported machines

yep "facebook developer preview.dmg" or something like that. its only around 300 kb

They've fixed the Network Issue! Thanks Apple.

Animations feel a lot smoother on my late 2009 iMac 🙂

Overall, outside typical development preview issues, Mountain Lion has been overall stable for me. This build however though brought a certain level of smoothness that the others lacked. Notifications Center doesn't seem as difficult to pull up. Launchpad isn't acting weird when I start typing.

Thats just from using it for a few minutes. Nothing mind blowing, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Mission control is much more smoother for me, too!

The graphics glitch that appears when you dismiss an app's notifications in the NC is still there.

Getting close though...

Behold, the Zebra Wallpaper!!!! 😱😀

This hasn't fixed my iCloud contacts issue:

On one of my Macs my contacts app is just empty. Can't seem to get it to fill up with my iCloud data. Signed out and signed in, turned off and on contact sync.

Have reported...

I take it you couldn't browse to reddit for the past week either?

Wi-Fi issue is still not solved after installing the software update.

OS X says it is connected to my Wi-Fi network and that it obtained an IP address, but I cannot load any web pages, App Store, and so on...
No problem in OS X Lion

(MacBook Pro 13", Early 2011)

Have you filed a bug report ?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

so will the next one be the GM?

 

[ScottishDuck]

so will the next one be the GM?

Likely, yes.

 

[jabbawok]

so will the next one be the GM?

Unlikely.

I'd guess they'll probably knock out another build before release candidates. If the RC is bug free enoug, they'll declare it gold.

True, but this is Apple. Delaying these features by a year gives them an excuse to release another version of Lion and generate some extra profit 😉

They toned-down the ridiculous dock shadow.

Now it doesn't spread its shade all over your open windows.

 

[wsw1217]

it solve the issue of lag on swipes between launchpad pages.

 

[Yamcha]

Looks like the downloading bar on the dock has been updated..
