Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C514f to Developers

Can anyone estimate when 10.6.2 will be finished?

If the new iMacs, Mac Minis and Macbooks are going to require 10.6.2 for new hardware/driver support ... then my guess is probably 1 to 2 weeks.

If they dont require 10.6.2, then I reckon anytime between the end of this week and the end of the month!

There doesn't seem to be many outstanding issues with the 10.6.2 seed, but developers still have to test their applications!

I would assume earlier rather than later though - then again the later the release the more bugs Apple might fix for this release.

Kernel Panic's when viewing the Top Sites? Sounds pretty weird to me... An it's a software problem you say?

That was my reaction too - software should never ever cause a kernel panic. If it is causing a kernel panic then it is a consequence of something else and not Safari itself. I'd go and get the hardware checked out because it sounds faulty.

That sounds good, I can wait it out (not as if I had a choice though) :)

And you are assuming that the problem is down to SL rather than seeing whether it is an issue with Front Row itself causing it or something else. Why does everyone assume that it is the OS itself that is the problem? Just because it works in 10.5 it doesn't mean that it is the OS that is at fault.

OK, so the subtle difference is that upgrading the OS is to blame rather than the OS itself. Same cause and effect though
 
Disappointed not to see Mail in the list - specifically the downloading of multiple duplicate messages that a lot of people are having problems with

I use to love Apple products but SL is the new Vista.
Click to expand...

VISTA was the entire reason I (and probably many others here) switched to Mac. I have also been running W7 since it became available and I can say that it is much better than VISTA, but not as significant an upgrade as MS would like everyone to believe. For the "average" user, it is just Vista with a new UI.

I think it is a little early (one month from release) to make a SL/Vista comparison.
 
Can someone who has 10.6.2 already confirm whether or not it fixes MAYA graph editor issue, please?
Thanks

Agreed. Some people thought Leopard was the new Vista when it first came out. I am sure things will be different once .2 and/or .3 come out.

Good! I'm getting a new HDD along with SL on Thursday, so I guess I'll wait for a couple more days then till 10.6.2 is officially released and then finally install SL!:cool:

What a horrible statement, take the Nike approach and Just do it!

Well, I presume it was a kernel panic (screen goes dark with a gradual wipe and a big error message on the screen). Strangely it was only my second monitor that went dark with the message. My main 30" CD stayed the same.

Both times this has happened (and it has only happened twice) I clicked on a Top Site. Apart from that, not had any problems at any other time.

I've had two kernel panics when using the Top Sites feature of Safari. But that's it, and that's a Safari issue not an OS X one.

Kernel panics are always due to kernel (or kernel code) problems.

User mode applications like Safari should be incapable of crashing the kernel.

They might exercise some buggy code in the kernel or a driver and seem to cause the crash, but by itself a user application can not crash the kernel.

Or, Safari could be triggering a hardware problem like m-toffy said. If an unrecoverable hardware error occurs, a panic is appropriate.

Although, the new Boot Camp 3.0 drivers are causing BSODs over on the Windows 7 side. :D

Apple's subtle way of making Windows 7 look bad, I wonder?
 
Feedback

I gota say that my transition to SL has not been without the occasional bug. I do think that for me its a better fit than 10.5.

What I really don't get is the pining about issues here. Every time a .x or .x beta is mentioned the thread turns into a .x/.x beta issues thread.

If everyone with an issue took the time to send :apple:feedback:apple: many of your issues would get solved within a .1 or .2 update cycle. I used to sit by and wait for issues to be solved but I gotta tell you I've seen allot of my bugs addressed and suggestions implemented in updates since I started sending feedback. If Apple doesn't know there is an issue they simply wont fix it.

And yes I know not every issue is addressed but if they get 1 feedback about an issue it will be given low priority but if they get 10,000 feedback on the same issue it will be elevated to high priority.

SEND FEEDBACK!!!!! DO IT!!!! DO IT NOW!!!!!!

Font issues are the biggest improvement about this update - Core Text

The biggest problem I am facing as a designer is the issue with older PST1 fonts and even some OTF fonts not displaying correctly or at all in Snow Leopard. Happily I can see that these are being addressed in this update with "Core Text", which is what replaced the old way the OS handled Postscript Type 1 fonts. Here's a link to how severe this problems is:

Based upon this thread, this update should be coming fast!

OpenCL needs to support the ATI HD3870. Apple's focusing too much on its ipods and iphones, they should do something for their customers who paid good money and made an investment (the mac pro users).

This question has been asked and answered so many times, I'd hope at a certain point people would spend the 30 seconds needed to find the answer. If you don't want to bother with Google, both ATI and nVidia explain which cards are and are not compatible with OpenCL. This has nothing to do with Apple.

OpenCL needs hardware features supported by the graphics card. ATI cards prior to the HD4000 series and nVidia cards prior to the G92 series do not have those features.
 
Funny you posted this because this is the same reason I switched to Linux and OSX.
And I also agree on your W7 statement.

If that's true, you're obv not doing anything overtly demanding, so congrats for that. For those of us who need OSX for our daily work, and whose clients require it (because we actually need to access the capabilities of a modern computer), your setup is a joke. Here's a bib, and ****.

I have many uses for my Dell including video editing, gaming, Audio & video encoding and as an HTPC to name a few. Windows Media Center with a TV tuner rocks and has no Mac equivelant. It's better than BTV & Sage TV which cost up $100 and comes free with W7. Like I said my setup will absolutely blow the doors off yours at a fraction of the price and "It Just Works" without any of Snow leoperds bugs so go service youself.

I'm not an MS fanboy, I don't worship billion dollar corporations, infact I just dropped $1700 on a macbook pro for my wife. I also own an original Iphone and an Ipod classic. I do take issue with comments about my PC having issues when it couldn't be further from the truth.
 
Flash! This is the third time today that the Flash plug-in has suddenly crashed in my Safari. Can Apple please fix the issue there? Or are they ignoring Flash for the full computer browser as much as they are ignoring it for the version for iPhone?

Apple has nothing to do with Flash. Talk to Adobe.
