Apple today seeded the first developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.5, the fifth maintenance release to the company's Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system. According to those familiar with the release, which is termed Build 10H525, developers are being asked to focus their testing on iCal, Mail, Printing, 3D Graphics, QuickTime and X11.

The build reportedly contains two documented known issues related to activating user interface elements in Web Views such as in the iTunes Store and errors with connecting to Exchange servers. Apple also notes that Mac OS X 10.6.5 developer builds contain the latest graphics drivers being tested in parallel in the Snow Leopard Graphics Update.

We noted late last month that Apple appeared to be gearing up to begin seeding builds of Mac OS X 10.6.5, but it seems to have taken a bit longer than expected for Apple to push out the first of an unknown number of builds. Apple's seeding programs can be highly variable in length due to the uncertain nature of the testing and tweaking process, and thus we do not yet have an estimate of when Mac OS X 10.6.5 might be released to the public.

Mac OS X 10.6.4 was released in mid-June, shortly after the close of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

Hopefully, we'll see newer graphics drivers (mainly for the nVidia cards) that'll jack up performance a notch or two, as mentioned with the 3d graphics update.

Hopefully, this will noticeably improve performance.

If it does...:D

If it doesn't...:(/:mad:

Go :apple:!

Edit: First!
 
The solution for X11... is to get the real one. You know, XQuartz, since that's what Apple bases their X11 off of (its really one and the same), only they're always two releases or so behind, and they always gimp a few changes.

I think this is further evidence services are being debugged on Intel OSX for iOS particularly printing. iOS prime feature forward is printing, VPN, Mail with windows or panels, and new decoder QT.

iPad is 1024p and iPhone is retina. Both are OSX iOS. Finder is different but services are the same.

Are portable systems getting 3D?? (dual frame HD)

Just asking.

I watched the YouTube video for a while. And it reminds me of what was happening on my Mid-2007 MacBook. My battery was swollen, and the swelling was pressing on the MacBook's mouse button from the bottom causing a similar or same condition.

Possibly this is what's causing your problem? One symptom to check is if your mouse button doesn't seem to have the full downward travel that you feel that it should have. Maybe you could have an Apple Genius open your MacBook Pro and look for battery swelling.

My MacBook was three years old, the Genius saw the swelling before I could even explain the problem, and he took a new battery off the shelf and rang me up for $0.00. And I didn't even have AppleCare!
 
I wonder if Apple will ever fix the iCal 1752 bug.

In iCal, pick View -> Go to Date and enter September 1752. The displayed month data is wrong.

In Terminal, type "cal 9 1752". The 19-day month data is correct, at least for the United Kingdom and all of its colonies of the time.

No, it occurs randomly, and is a software issue. The Magic trackpad software update caused it.
 
This is great...

...but I'm very surprised nothing has been released to developers on 10.7. I know, OT, but Snow Leopard has been out for a while and it's well past the usual time frame for Apple to release builds for the next OS (or at least, it has been so for the past few releases).

It hasn't even been a year yet. Expect to see something in December/January timeframe is my guess.

I'm surprised that there aren't any leaks yet.

My question is why were you looking at September of 1752?:confused:
 
I'm just hoping this fix the freezes in the mid-2010 MacBook pros with core i5/i7.

Huh, you're right. Could have sworn it was longer. The older I'm getting... :eek:

Probably because it doesn't feel different from leopard, so you could go back as far as the first date of leopard.
