I'm still having tons of issues with OS X 10.8.2 on my 15" Retina MacBook Pro, Apple! It feels like I've been running Windows for the past couple months with all the bugs (especially involving Wi-fi) and freezes. You need to release 10.8.3 now!

It's great that you are finally worrying about the quality of the software (you certainly didn't care about quality during the Lion disaster). If there are still problems, fix them with 10.8.4 but the retina users need something right now.

And if you could fix how non-retina apps are displayed that would be wonderful (they look worse than on a screen with half the resolution)

Lastly, release Logic Pro X! Thank you.

Sincerely,
A victim of Tim Cook's "Post-PC" world

Dear Victim,
Thank you for writing this letter to macrumors member. I understand your concern, but to be honest with you....well....10.8.2 is the last update for you. I know that you're very frustrated, but we'll fix your life up with 10.9.x and it will cost you 19.99. Enjoy yourself with your ML and we will continuously torment you. Thanks for being a fan.

yours truly
Apple
 
12D76 runs very well

Installed 1 hour ago and as far as i can see:

- Scrolling in apps like Safari is now very smooth on rMBP (This hasn't been so in past 10.8.3 Beta Builds) :)
- Boot and Shutdown times are blazingly fast :)
- Wifi seems stable :)

I think this (12D76) is the best Beta Build (Maybe it's compiled without debugging -> GM?).

Scrolling in apps like Safari has not changed in 10.8.3 for me. It's been always smooth since 10.8.0. The latest beta build doesn't increase fps on Safari scrolling on my rMBP.

My shutdown times are still between 5 and 25 seconds on rMBP and latest beta doesn't effect that either.
 
Why so much delay??

I don't know what these ******s Apple engineers are doing. It's been close to 9 months for ML now, and they can't seem to iron out any issues. I've rMBP and I've been having system hangs, Safari crashing, graphics glitches and I've spoken to Apple Technical Support on multiple occasions, reinstalled ML and nothing helps. If they take six months to fix the bugs, then how could they claim to release a new OS every year. This wasn't the Apple experience before. I'm not even sure that these ******s Apple engineers and Craig wouldn't introduce 10 new bugs in 10.8.3. It's no longer a pleasing experience using OS X anymore. Apple has become new Microsoft and doesn't want to listen and care about customers.

Welcome to MacRumors.

;)
 
Do all of you guys voice your concerns and bugs with Apple? Probably not. Too bad, if you are really concerned about improving OSX or anything else Apple for that matter, post your bugs/issues/request with Apple:

www.apple.com/feedback

Thats (i.m.o.) the only (official) way Apple will and has to listen to complaints. So copy your complaint, head over to the mentioned site and paste it there.

No, I'm not from Apple, I'm a frustrated Macbook user who can't officially run 10.8 but unofficially can....
 
They should stop having people pay for betas, if they did they would recieved far more feed back on remaining bugs in there beta software and most bugs would be gone in the final release in a shorter time period.
Next to this they should break-up updates in smaller pieces.
 
When they release 10.8.3, people will find bugs, and I'm curious to see the reactions to that, since it was so tested, many will assume it would have covered *all* bugs.

I think it is a good thing to have such an intensive testing, OR maybe they aren't concentrating on OS X that much these days (probably concentrating on iOS or the iToys). Who knows :confused:

Now I'm kind of concerned to update to 10.8.3 (when it arrives), the time they are taking could be a sign that it does break something, in an epic fashion :D

For Shutdown times:
Try to quit following apps from the Menu Bar before shutting down:
  • Evernote
  • Dropbox
  • Skitch
  • Other Apps syncing Data with a Cloud Service
I get a shutdown time of constantly 4-5 seconds then... I think we should not blame apple for this behavior as Mac OS X is waiting for these apps to correctly close (and perform a "last sync").

After updating your OS X: Do a option + cmd + r + p at startup (immediately after power on) to clear bios, smc, pac.. whatever.

People with any interest in testing these betas should also be smart enough to make a google search and download the beta without paying... it's not that hard. Basically it won't make much of a difference, because the majority of apple users doesn't even know a beta exists and if you told them, they wouldn't care.
 
Change Log:

10.8.2
SafariEngineSnappyMode = 0

10.8.3
SafariEngineSnappyMode = 1

Apple are beginning to act more like Microsoft....

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen on this website.

Apple release of updates has no pattern to it whatsoever. But Microsoft do it every 2 weeks.

I actually prefer Microsoft's approach. I don't want automatic updates because it interferes with other things, yet with Microsoft I know when to search for updates.

So for updates with microsoft I only have to search twice a month but with apple I have to do it every day because you never know when updates will be released by apple.

So are apple beginning to act like microsoft? No. Definitely not. The apple randomness continues and so does microsoft's regularity.

On the other hand, I would like it if apple did it like microsoft so that I don't have to waste so much time checking for updates from apple.

You don't have to search for anything when there is an update to OS X or any software you will be notified or just leave it on auto-update.

I don't have any of those apps installed. Shutdown still can take 25 seconds, even if I'm not connected to internet. (When you are offline no iCloud syncing occurs anyway). So it's still inconsistent. Not that I have any problems with 25 sec shutdowns. I don't mind.

I can confirm, Shutdown and Boot times are blazingly fast. :)
