Apple Reportedly Preparing to Seed Builds of Mac OS X 10.6.3 to Developers

Why does it suck? It is lightning fast for me and connects faster than my Cisco AnyConnect client which itself is much better than the previous version. I wish the Apple version would accept a paste for the code, that would be a nice change so I could paste my RSA SecurID soft token passphrase in.

What issues do you see?
 
Tiger upgrade

OldCorpse said:
I don't have any stats and I have not run Leo or SL - I'm too scared to do so. I use FCP 4.5 HD and I need a stable system. For me 10.4.11 is perfect. "It just works". FCP itself (as many apps) has bugs of course, but the OS itself, 10.4.11 is rock, rock, rock solid. I'm scared to death to move off it. Unfortunately I don't have much choice. The HD video demands new hardware, and it's time for me to buy - but I'm so scared of getting off my stable Tiger, I'm ready to throw up from fear. I'm scared to death of the SL stability stories. I actually have nightmares. Tiger has been such bliss for me. I can't let it go. I'm being forced though. Pray for me.

I loved Tiger also but forced to Leopard because of Mobile Me. Couldn't get it to sync right. Works fine in Leopard.

Bought SL and it was a nightmare. It took 30 seconds to get the mouse pointer across the screen.... Unbelievable.

Went back to Leopard 10.5.8 and all is well-except for the 5 days of work I lost because I forgot to turn Time Machine back on. I actually installed SL twice. The second time was because someone suggested an old driver that needed to be deleted. I deleted it and SL still sucked big time. Went back to Leopard and then discovered that during the 5 days between installs, I had no Time Machine..... Won't make that mistake again!!!!

Like some others, waiting for SL 10.6.23 before I try it again.......:rolleyes:
 
Fix the slow USB transfer on SL for those with Macbook Pros (Mid 2009) who upgraded to the newer release.

200MB file takes 5 minutes booted in to SL, 12 seconds bootcamped in to XP.

I shouldn't have to install SL from scratch.

Um....Wow...

There is nothing majorly wrong with leopard or snow leopard. No matter what the OS people will have issues. Your also going to have most people without any issues. On a web forum you will only here the problems. I don't have a single problem listed in this thread nor does anyone I know. Upgrading I'm sure will be no problem for you.

I guess I should say laptops are the only Apple systems I care about. The Mac Pro is overpowered for my home use, I'm not interested the mini or iMacs because they aren't expandable. I'm going the hackintosh route to get an affordable single i7-based system, so it will be interesting to see how 10.6 performs on it.

Ah ok, well for laptops it's really up to intel to produce CPU's with low power consumption. I'm sure we'll see some soon.

As for SL in general, i had problems when i upgraded from leopard. Applications would crash like mad etc - so i backed up my files, wiped the system and then moved back my stuff. Been having no issues since then. I'd never reccomend upgrading if you can avoid it.

A little comment regarding the all in ones, i found that during my 16 years+ of computer use i tend to upgrade so much of my machine everytime i do it that i end up with a new box anyway. The only drawback is that i have to replace the monitor as well if i go with an imac ;)
But if i turn on the argument, i now have old boxes that i could give away to relatives or friends but then i would end up having to get them a monitor!

The imac is a really good deal in my humble opinon.

bring it back! No rastered Expose please! Use your old algorithm to do the math of window sizing.

For real, it changed my behavior... I use the dock more often and the combination "CMD" and ">" or "<" come on, that is so 90ies...

Wow.

About the dumbest and most arrogant post.Ever.
How on earth can you state something like that? Are you God?
You have no idea of his/her program setup,hardware requirements,third party devices and programs and their compatibility etc...ad nauseum...

Are you willing to shell 1 million dollars if,say OldCorpse, would like to put up a ProTools enviroment with all the associated FW & PCI tools and try to run them under snowleopard?
I am curious,as"upgrading will be no problem for him"...

Or your organisation could stop using out of date proprietary crap for their VPN - that would save alot of grief, be it that your Cisco certified IS staff would no longer feel like precious snow flakes/God's amongst mere morals.
 
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and I found that performance was a lot better than Leopard. Programs loaded faster and shutdown is awesome. The only thing I hate about SL is Quicktime X... videos tend to have slow playback.
 
Only issues I have left with Snow Leopard are the Finder failing to relaunch when using an external disk and (maybe, not sure if the Airport Update fixed it or not), the network connection dropping out randomly when on battery. Besides that, only small occasional glitches that aren't even worth mentioning.

So in other words, hopefully 10.6.3 will carry some new features! :D
 
I reported a bug to Apple a month ago about Quick Look crashing/causing Finder to become unresponsive when dealing with MPEG1/2 and certain AVI files (depending on their codec). The engineers are quite interested in the problem - so heres hoping it'll be fixed in OS X 10.6.3.

"Apple doesn't support it so therefore no one should ever use it even if it works."
