Mac OS X 10.5.2 Inches Closer... Build 9C23 Seeded

[bplein]

I hope they fix screen sharing in iChat. Twice I have tried to use it with a friend to help them fix a problem and it has failed. It doesn't provide any useful error messages as to why, either; just "failed to connect".

It's likely a NAT issue. We hit this at home at our house. Not all apps can work when both endpoints are behind NAT. Since iChat uses standards-based protocols, Apple has limited choices in how they can try and rectify this issue.

When the connection fails, there is very little iChat can do to tell you why. The packets it expects are behind blocked by a router (usually), and it has no means of knowing why.

What they could do is put a help file in there explaining why it might be failing, but they cannot tell you decisively why.

I just want iSync fixed — Address Book is not syncing to my Nokia, but iCal syncs perfectly. WTF?

Stacks fix and menu bar option sounds nice, too, but I don't care about them if iSync/AB remains broken.

So is it coming out today?

 

[riscy]

That is the question - and no-one seems to know the answer.

So is it coming out today?

 

[petvas]

I hope it is coming today! I am pretty sure though it will come some time this week. I just hope it will be today

Leopard is a mess since there was not enough time to do proper bug fixing and gather user feedback about UI decisions.

Well at least the iPhone bought us another six months of internal testing for the initial release. So it could have been worse...

I dont understand why people think the update is coming just because of the MBA being in stores soon. I thought the MBA was already verified to be running on 10.5.1 .

I think it is more that as Apple gets closer to an OS update (full or point), they accelerate the seeds so testers can verify whatever fixes were implemented. Since 10.5.2 seeds seem to be increasing, history suggests that the actual consumer release is nearing.

another anticipated update**
Tomorrow, Tuesday the 29th is the two week mark in which Apple planned to update the Apple TV. Perhaps the two updates (X 10.5.2 & AppleTV) will be released together.

 

[Sceneshifter]

Let's hope tomorrow is the day, yay!

Any news about blu-ray/hd-dvd support in Mac OS 10.5.2?

Cleveland and Cranberry

I used to work in cleveland (Tower City) and I know my way around Cleveland. I have a hard time trying to find any thing in Pittsburgh. I hate it when I need to go down there. The way people drive down there puts Cleveland drivers to shame (trust me some Cleveland drivers makes you wonder how did they get their permit to drive! LOL)

As for going to the to Cranberry it's not needed. As of this writing we have two places that will service Apple computers. However if it's a software problem they will not help you unless you bought the computer from them.

Thanks for the tip though.

We need an Apple store!!!!

Hugh

doubt you'll read this, but if you do...

there's a store called "mac outfitters" in Cranberry (About 40 min closer to you than the pittsburgh store is) and it's authorized by apple.

oh, i just realized you said cleveland store is closer, but why on earth would you ever want to go to Cleveland when you can drive only an hour farther and be in Pittsburgh???!

Any news about blu-ray/hd-dvd support in Mac OS 10.5.2?

I haven't seen anything.

Seeing as the Mac Pro refresh didn't get a Blu Ray or HD DVD drive, I don't think that Apple will fully support either (or a combo drive) for some time.

Router?

Check the router settings on your end and your friends. It's possible that the router(s) are blocking the screen sharing.

I hope they fix screen sharing in iChat. Twice I have tried to use it with a friend to help them fix a problem and it has failed. It doesn't provide any useful error messages as to why, either; just "failed to connect".

When I first saw this feature I thought it was going to be awesome, but considering that I've tried it with three separate Leopard users and have never gotten it to work, it's disappointing.

 

[skyrider007]

will it be out tomorrow??

 

[kabunaru]

will it be out tomorrow??

Either tomorrow or next tuesday.

 

[pyramid6]

I have it on reliable authority that it will be released soon... ish.

According to rumors on the innertubes the next patch will have D300/D3 support for CoreImage. Yay!

There is going to be another seed or the next build will be final?

 

[pyramid6]

They said they say it works in real life. I would assume that means the current builds. Google 'D300 10.5.2' you should be able to find it.

refurb Macbook and MBP price change?

Is it my imagination or has Apple reduced prices on some of the Macbook and Macbook Pro refurb units within the past 24 hours?

Im not sure, I havent looked at them in a while.

 

[iCeFuSiOn]

They haven't dropped the price of any refurbished models on their Canadian store, so who knows. I hope this update arrives today.

 

[TheSpaz]

I hope it's today and I hope I get my Mira IR Sensor today from Twisted Melon.
