Apple Seeds New Beta of OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1 to Developers

So, still no fix for the "weights in at" issue.
Changing that would be agreeing that it is ridiculous. Now they are in donkey mode.
It's been fairly stable here. The pointer for a BT mouse disappears now and again. Also my left USB port sometimes doesn't play nice.... but it's really erratic in doing so. Only my FAT32 stick seems to cause problems (with no problems anywhere else) -- currently on a rMBP.
All in all I'd say it's very, very stable on this machine -- wasn't a clean install either -- I upgraded to 10.8 and then restored via TM from my iMac's backup.

Any chance this restores the "time remaining" option to the battery menu bar icon?
The removal of this feature is the single most annoying issue about Mountain Lion...
Agreed. Would be nice to at least have the option.
has the iTunes bug that got introducted with 10.8 been fixed in this build? the one where it prompts you constantly to enter your itunes id and password for automatic downloads?
Have you noticed that when the dock stays onscreen that it's frozen?
If so, back out of fullscreen, scrub the mouse pointer across the dock to unstick it, then go bak to fullscreen.
With 10.8.0, I have the battery problem, the Mission Control crash/multitouch problem, occasional kernel panics and a lot of refuse to wake from sleeps.
While its not the worst of the .0 releases, irs hardly trouble free, either. There were less widespread issues in going from 10.6.x to 10.7.0 IIRC.
I did a clean install. It worked for ME, perhaps it will not work for YOU or OTHER people but it worked for ME. A clean install of a new OS is never a bad thing to get rid of left over files here and there.
It's not the end all be all solution to anything, but it can be beneficial. I know you do not think so but so far as I can tell you don't like much of anything.
Searching a large network hard drive has problems in ML
I have a 3TB HD that I connect to with an ML iMac computer each day with thousands of files on it. My other office iMac with Lion has no problem searching that hard drive, but the Mountain Lion iMac computer finds very few of the files I need. I ran Onyx on the ML computer, rebuilt the spotlight index on that network drive after physically connecting it to the ML computer and nothing helps it find files accurately once again within the ML OS. To repeat, the Lion OS is finding them fine, but not ML. A lot of my file names have dashes in them, so at first I thought that may have been the issue, but I ruled that out. Anyone else have this problem or able to test it? BTW, the network drive is also on a Lion OS with Mac mini server. It's gotten so bad that I had to install a 3rd party searching app to help me find files again. (This setup is an iMac with Toast for CD burning that accesses my network drive for mp3, wave and aif files.)

This. I've had very few issues with ML so far.
I have noticed a few graphical glitches in Safari and Mail but for the most part ML is a solid release. Hopefully the minor bugs will be fixed with the .1 release.
People keep suggesting it because it DOES fix SOME problems - the whole point of having a clean install is to remove all possible variables that might screw things up hence if you remove every possible variable by having a virgin clean install then you can at least say that your starting point was a flat surface. After asking whether they've done a clean install is the next question - what third party applications/enhancements have they installed. Ask yourself, why do some people with the exact same hardware have no problems whilst others with the exact same hardware do have problems thus it is the process of elimination to work out what makes one different than the other.
BRLawyer complaining in a thread?
I've been very happy with ML so far. My only complaint was the weird new default color profile, but this link fixed that.
Don't argue with him. You're wearing your letters off your keys for nothing...
I've been running ML since it was released as the first Beta. All in all, pretty darn solid. I found it more stable in beta 2 than Lion was in GM. I've run it on a 2010 iMac, and a 2011 MBA. Using the words "train wreck" to describe it only shows ignorance.
When I got the rMBP from Apple it was still on Lion -- my iMac was on SL. I just upgraded my iMac to ML, made a new TM backup, and then dropped everything over from there -- I prefer to clone data between machines. I saw no point in stopping over in Lion for my iMac in order to make a current version TM backup.
I occasionally have this happen as well, for various apps (Safari, Calendar, etc.) All I do is, without exiting fullscreen, click once on the dividing line for the dock as if I were going to resize it, but I don't resize it (just a single click as opposed to holding down the mouse and dragging to resize). When I click back into the active app, the dock slides away as expected. No need to exit the app or turn hiding on, at least for me. It's like the dock just needs a little attention, and then it will behave.

Are you a developer? If so, I'm curious as to how the rMBP does with the new seed of 10.8.1. Any issues or improvements?

Terminal Purge command broken on 1.8.1 build 12b17, was working in previous build.
It's not broken. It gives a message but still does a purge.
OnyX.............. I should do a clean-install of your Mac now, if I were you...
Ok, this means that Safari 6.0.1 will likely be a separate software-update. Thanks for your answer!

Unfortunately not. But as I said before the only issues I've had are with the BT mouse and left USB port, both occasionally. Battery life seems to be around 6-7hrs with basic Internet/word usage. Aside from some slight GUI lag due to crap hardware drivers the only other outstanding issue is that most of the Internet and programs looks horrendously pixelated due to lack of hidpi support (especially MS office....)
I'm a big fan of Launchpad and the Mac App Store, but I really hope going forward in the future that Apple doesn't make OS X too much like iOS.
