Apple Seeds OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Beta to Developers

For those of you who are developers, if the mas is giving you trouble, there is now a direct link on apple's developer forum from which you can now download build 13B27 with google chrome, double click and install - thereby circumventing the mas.

We can't put it here however because that breaches macrumors rules.

You should however still install the seed configuration utility to get future updates.
 
I hope they fix the scrolling issue in many of the apps.

I have the 2013 15" rMBP, and I thought Apple would fix the trackpad issue but they only fixed it for the 2013 13" rMBP.

When I scroll through Safari, sometimes, the trackpad stops working completely until I restart Safari. Pretty annoying. This also happens in Chrome and Firefox. Anyone else have this issue or is that just my trackpad that's misbehaving? :confused:

I'd be thrilled if my mouse would wake up properly from sleep on my late 2012 Mac Mini (it does wake fine on my 2008 MBP so I have no clue what the issue is and I've tried swapping ports, etc.; I think it might even have something to do with having two monitors connected since the first time I disconnected the TB/MDP one it woke correctly, although it wasn't consistent on multiple tries.

I haven't been able to wake my Mac from sleep with the mouse since I installed Mountain Lion. I've tried the USB port swapping as well, to no effect. I just assumed it was another feature they took away from us.
 
Swiping desktop animations get jerky when compressed memory is used. I'm using MBP 13" 2010 model. Hope they fix it.

Edit: Mission Control animations also stutter when compressed memory is in use.

My Dock is set to the left of the screen.

Absolutely not.

Anyone know if there's a log of what changes are included in 10.9.1 anywhere yet?

Yea, I know......now. I really don't understand why they don't/didn't address it with the 10.9.1 beta. There are so many threads,comments etc. about this; you'd think they'd freaking fix it !! People that were freaking out over Gmail got their fix.

So what's up with this non-update?

Unreal ......almost a deal breaker for me.

P.S. No offense to anyone who is not experiencing the beach ball phenomena, it really burns a lot of people's asses.

For what it's worth, I just checked and 10.8.1 was released 13 days after 10.8.1 beta1, which means we may have another 2 weeks before we even get this.

Ugh. That would put it at 5.5 weeks, one of the longest spans between .0 and .1 for any major release.
 
I can't close out of mail with out having to force quit? I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

Make sure to use the external power supply. You won't be able to wake it up on battery.

You mean slimmer fonts? Not going to work so well for non-Retina Macs.

Not in Safari, but in Preview the trackpad dies for ~10 seconds randomly, or until I switch apps back and forth. It's insanely annoying if you're reading long articles in Preview.

My mail quits just fine in Mavericks. I have a Gmail account too. I had no issues even then. I think some of these bugs are machine specific or something. How else do I explain that my mouse wakes fine on my Macbook Pro running Mavericks, but the same mouse on my Mac Mini has the pointer frozen until I unplug/plug? It's just bizarre. And I thought Apple had less hardware issues since they make all their own hardware configurations (unlike Microsoft, that has to support every single configuration out there including homemade boxes). Apple makes these things. How hard would it be to assign a given machine configuration to employees to test with new releases as part of their work day? Nah, that would be too logical. Better to just add a features and send it out. Sending it out to beta testing does no good, obviously or we wouldn't get SO MANY bugs in the final versions. I mean big ones. Either that or Apple doesn't listen to any feedback from its beta testers either. I know Steve Jobs didn't listen to suggestions, but this is different...or is it?

WiFi, Finder thumbnails not appearing, and App Nap optimization are at the top of my wishlist.

Also, AirPort disks periodically become inaccessible in Mavericks.

(And before the "these aren't happening to me!!" posts, these are known issues that others are experiencing. All small, but annoying).

Fixes are nice, but would like to also talk about the improvements too

I haven't had this issue.
 
I believe the 13" macbook retina needs a graphic update it seems to not handle fullscreen movies on iTunes well. With constant lagging every time you awaken the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
 
Someone posted that Quicklook is still slow, for me on my Macbook Air (2011) it's back to Mountain Lion's speed. Didn't get a chance to try it on my iMac yet

How are Mission Control animations when the Dock is set to the bottom of the screen?
 
In System Preferences in my 2012 MBP home main user NONE of the Advanced buttons work. I have to go to another user to adjust anything. Also in that same Users & Groups it's impossible to make a new user or to delete an old one.

Also in my main home folder I am unable to change settings to allow software from anyone. It just keeps kicking back to Apple Only.

BTW….why to we have enter the App Store password for NUMEROUS apps that were bought on an earlier computer???

Why does iMovie have an update that says my older iMac video card won't work, and keeps on asking me to install it and won't dim out that it is not available? There needs to be an update that works for those Macs also.

This updates both build 13A598 and 13A603 to 13B27.

People thought it won't update 13A598, but I just did that and can confirm that it works.

Yes but the point remains we wait 4 years for an 'upgrade' and we get a 'downgrade' that works on the web too - yippee.

Yes it is a shame. "Free" means little when it is less powerful and less usable than what you already have. For that matter Star Office is free but I would not want to use that either.

As for 9.1 itself, I would love improved graphics drivers. Upgrading from 10.6.8 I have seen a 10% decrease in graphics according to various free benchmark apps, though I only ran those after feeling out the system. I would have guessed that Mavericks was 20-30% slower than Snow Leopard. Overall I like it, but it would be great if they could recapture some of the lost speed.
 
Personally I have had two issues with Mavericks:
• Disk IO seems very slow for some reason. People mention slow loading of files in Finder, and this is one of the things related to this I guess.
• I now have flickering over HDMI, on my 2011 Mac Mini, which makes it pretty much unusable as a home theater box.

Just tested it: They're the same, it doesn't make a difference in which orientation the Dock is in. Once the compressed memory is used (235 MB in my case), the animations become choppy. However, scrolling still stays smooth.

Your problem may be different because you're using a model which has much different graphics cards. I'm using a MBP 2010 13" model.
