Apple Seeds First Developer Build of Mac OS X 10.6.5

Hopefully, the Graphics Drivers update will indeed make a difference.
It bothers me that my 6 year old WinXP 32bit desktop with a 3.2GHz P4, 1GB of 333MHz RAM and a stock AGP 7600GS runs every Valve game AND Starcraft 2 a LOT better than my mid-2007 Macbook Pro (specs in the sig) on OSX.
Apple really needs to step up their efforts, gaming-wise. They could be seeing a huge increase in sales if they made an effort to make their computers more gaming-friendly. The gaming market is huge and I think Apple should really open their "eyes".

Apple has to get better at releasing this and other updates to the public. StarCraft 2 IS currently hosed with the current 10.6.4 drivers. If They fix the problem they have to release the drivers first before the OS update. But they won't of course they will let the users suffer and get creamed in-game by their PC owning counterparts.

Are you sure that you don't have any hardware issues? Have you checked your HD?

We are running 10.6.4. on 4 Macs in our household with no issues :)

They are bugs. Other users are having the same issues as shown on the Apple Discussion Forums.
 
Here we go again. I just updated to 10.6.4 a couple of weeks ago. I wait until all my third party apps are confirmed to work well and after any updates have been released to fix any problems with the latest OS X build. Works for me.

I pray to god that the included Graphics Driver update will fix the issue with StarCraft II being unplayable with nVidia cards. Otherwise there's no other way than to play the game under ahum .. Windows :(

Unplayable with Nvidia? What card do you have?

I can run it on Ultra with the GTX 285.
 
ATTENTION: This build of 10.6.5 contains NO ATi 5xxx drivers.
So don't install this on the new iMac's or on Hackintoshes with ATi 5xxx video card.
 
Does anyone have a link to the download or download area? I can't find it on the developer's site, and I am a developer.

Cheers

Seriously, WTH... do we really need to set a date that far back in time???!?! LOL

what? don't you bring your Mac with you when you time travel?

Sure it might be a bad idea to bring technology back into the past but Mac's are good for keeping records of your journey through time.

When 10.6.7 will be released, does that mean we can expect 10.7 soon after that? Since Snow Leopard was released when Leopard was at 10.5.7 or something similar, right? I guess it means the OS is maturing fast.

I also don't expect Snow Leopard to last long, since to us users it's exactly the same as Leopard with a few more bugs. Maybe OS X 10.7 (or whatever the name will be...) can be expected in early 2011?

Maybe early 2012. The issue with 10.7 is there has been NOTHING from Apple on it. Usually after they first demo it, it is about a 12-18 month cycle until it is released. So either they are changing that pattern, or it is still a quite a bit away.
 
I hope this will help fix the issue I have with my MBP 15" i7 not connecting to my new HP Photosmart wireless printer.

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.

The iPad is not 1024p. When measuring video resolution you measure the short side, not the long side.

Or it will be huge. I mean really huge not Steve Jobs version of Huge.
 
I hope the Graphics Update is still a separate update, coming shortly. It would be a long wait if we had to wait for 10.6.5.

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.

And you would need to go to September 1752 because....

Oh! I know! You want to use Time Machine! lol

Hopefully they will fix:

- Frozen reboot.
- Frozen cold boot.
- Unsorted Desktop items.
- Safari crashes when saving web pages.

Um, I think you either have a bad install or hardware issues. Either way this is an anomaly.

By bugs in Snow Leopard I don't mean serious bugs, but stuff like Exposé and Spaces are much less smooth and accurate as before. Try activating Spaces, and drag one space around the screen in the bird's eye view, and then release the mouse. There's this 5 second lag when dragging, it's lame. Bugs like these make me feel I'm more under Windows than OS X, since Windows had all these annoying interface glitches that never got fixed, while in Leopard there were no such things. Well Snow Leopard changed this...

No lag at all on my end. I have three displays set up, running EyeTV on one, PS CS5 on another and Final Cut Pro on the last. Runs as smooth as silk.

A few people out of the millions that use OS X does not mean it's specific to the OS. There are many factors that may contribute to these bugs, such as after market hardware, etc.

So, if it doesn't affect you, it must be a bad install?

:rolleyes:

Ever notice that people who start their posts with "um" are invariably *******s who bring nothing to the conversation?
