Apple Seeds Near Final OS X 10.8.2 Developer Seed Ahead of Media Event

[basesloaded190]

How was this not included until this point?

I'm struggling to understand how Apple thought that giving people 'Messages' on the Mac that didn't do this from the start was a good idea.

I thought this all had to do with iOS 6

Now the question is, should I associate my phone number with the Apple ID I use to make purchase through iTunes, or with the Apple ID that I use for iCloud?? I imagine there are a lot of people in my situation who had an apple ID for purchases and then jumped onto MobileMe, not being allowed to merge the adresses! Leave it to apple to make things even more complicated.

What is so complicated? I associate two different email addresses with my phone number and it works fine.

Yay for Power Nap support on the 2010 MBA!

Can you explain why you find this so useful (other than getting a new feature of course )? I have the 2010 MBA, so I guess I'll get it too. From what I read about it, it's not something I've always missed or whatever, but maybe I'm missing something...

Hmm... releasing iOS 6 GM and 10.8.2 final on the same day? Are they hiding new features from us to show on the day?

 

[Peace]

If this is released tomorrow then there's going to be a new iPhoto and aperture app coming along with it because my photo stream in system preferences tells me to update iPhoto or arperture. I have the latest versions.

AT&T loves iMessage so much!

This is going to be crazy in the next few hours. Hate I have to work but I will have my computer on Macrumors all day...

Ya ? Wait and see what happens when the store goes down hehe.

If my iMessage gets totally unified, then this update is enough for me. Would be amazing to have it all in one place!

THank god WTF.... why do I need to give people my apple ID... jesus apple what a stupid lack of a feature

I am not sure if I am loving the idea of getting all my messages on my mac through imessage. Now people can read and snoop on my messages. I don't want to lock my screen etc.

Can't you turn messages off on your Mac?

New iLife and iWork.. free?

 

[Orange Crane]

Are they going to actually fix imessage so that it doesn't cock up a third of the time anymore? I could give a piss for new features if it still has the same old jank.

It's annoying that Apple didn't mention battery life improvements. It's like by avoiding the issue they are refusing to admit that OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.0 and 10.8.1 have suffered decreases in battery life compared to Lion and Snow Leopard.

It keeps screwing up on my iPad :/ On iPhone and Mac, it is fine

How to add Phone # to iMessages

Guys (and Gals),

I have an Apple Developer Account and have downloaded and installed this release. Problem is I can't figure out how to add my iPhone number to iMessage on my Mac. I tried deleting the account and setting it up again, but it won't let me delete it.

Any ideas?

Hmm... releasing iOS 6 GM and 10.8.2 final on the same day? Are they hiding new features from us to show on the day?

I hope they're hiding the ability to share my photo stream from my Mac. I would really like to set up shared photo streams from my desktop, where I can actually see the quality of the pics I'm sharing.

I'm having the same problem!

Well this will get me to update to Mountain Lion. There is no reason why imessages couldn't be included with 10.8 though. grrr...

I can't see either of these getting released tomorrow, iOS has been released a week after it was officially announced, just a few days before the first iPhone shipments arrive. As much as I want it tomorrow, I just can't see it showing up for download.

As for the OS X update, I don't think they've ever seeded an update one day and released it on the next. Makes no sense.

Sorry to say they'll both be released on the 19th, based on last year's timetable, one week after the media event.

But this way we're gonna get two great days! ::grin::

 

[MikeLord]

I'm having the same problem!

Thanks. Let me know if you figure it out.

You need to install ios6 and then re-setup iMessage on your iPhone.

so excited. Tomorrow is going to be amazing.

It will be meh but bring it on

The GM should be seeded then, but not released until the 19th or so, you're probably right about the OS X update though.

I think we'll see a Infinity Blade: Dungeons preview running on the iPhone 5 -- with enhanced graphics from the quad-core maybe?

Wouldn't it make sense that you'd combine the phone and the iCloud on the phone? Then it shows up on your Mac? I'm guessing you need to wait for iOS 6 to do this.
