Amen. This totally happens to me a couple nights a week, and I totally want my mute switch! I've locked rotation maybe two times. When it goes wonky I just flip it one way or the other until it goes back the way I want it.
Got a tip for us?

This is what I'm talking about. So will AppleTV not show up in iTunes like it does in 10.0? If I use Remote on the iPhone and connect to my AppleTV will I not be able to control the remote speakers? My AppleTV is set up as an AirPort Speaker right now and I can turn it on and off from the computer under Multiple Speakers.
No. You didn't read what i said. Most macs don't boot into the 64-bit kernel by default, and many existing macs CAN'T boot into the kernel AT ALL, so it depends on the hardware, but for some, Mac OS X is NOT completely 64-bit. But like i said, it doesn't matter that much, i'm just trying to make my point...
EDIT: So, my point is, the 64 bit kernel is the option. In fact, outside of anything running OS X Server, there is no mac that boots into it by default. Except the mac pro.
Most macs don't boot into K64 by default but that's only to save people from kext troubles. I have been booting K64 since the day SL released since every 3rd party kext I use was already K64 ready at launch. So if there are people not booting K64, simply because it's not default...
Yes, I realize that, and my point was that it's not the same as adding features with options, because they *removed* a feature that a lot of people liked and got accustomed to.
Nah, many macs wont let you boot into the 64 bit kernel... Screw it, why am i arguing with you people. Just go google it or something

Did you even read that article? All Macs (except the minis) in the last three years can boot in 64-bit mode. What iBug2 said wasn't incorrect. And the Mac Pro does use it by default in addition to the servers.
Believe it or not, apple made intel macs before then.
Plus, you're wrong, there is no mention of macbooks anywhere in that list.

Darn Tootin!! I'm with you on this one.
The Obsessive-Compulsive Club will meet in the small room adjacent to the auditorium at 9:14:55. Unless someone has any problems with that.
Remember to be prompt as there is old business to attend to, since the 2009 and earlier 2010 meetings were postponed because of objections to scheduling details.

I just want the Airplay video support on the Apple TV.

You said "many existing" macs in your original post, which I took to mean modern macs.
You are right, the MacBook doesn't officially support 64 bit (surprising), although it can be done.
But whatever, I feel we are arguing over stupid details.

Oh, that's where the confusion is, i mean existing as in macs still in use. Woops
It's the tragedy of MR. All these pathetic sheep who bow to Steve's every whim. Four legs good, two legs better eh?
Every OSX update I pray that Apple fix spotlight. Remember when that used to work? But no, they'd much rather spend their time screwing around with a perfectly good orientation switch. Back to the Mac indeed.
BTW, WiiDSmoker, just jailbreak the sucker when the dev team step in with the 4.2 JB for folders and orientation lock!
Almost everyone on here should/would be savvy enough to know a devices shortcomings long before they purchase it. The fact you have purchased it is acceptance of those shortcomings. To then hack on it time and time again when it doesn't do things exactly to your taste is just pathetic.
Deal with it or sell it and buy something else instead. You're a bunch of whinging tools that argue for the sake of it more often than not.
There are 100 things that could be done better on iPad. No ones denying that. But fact is you buy the device for what it is, not what you wish it was. get over it. There are shotcomings on almost all tech things i've bought in recent years but you live with it or don't buy it to begin with.

You're wrong. I personally don't care about orientation lock; I'd rather Apple focus their effects on something that I care about. You obviously are just as selfish -- you don't want them to work on things I want, your only concern is what you want. It goes round and round like this forever. Suck it up and deal with it, or buy another device.
Um....making money is what successful businesses do. Making money doesn't make them greedy.

Wait wait wait. Restore to factory, and then restore from a backup, effectively wiping the factory settings and replacing everything again? What's the purpose of that? Restoring from a backup is like nothing ever happened, regarding that fresh factory install.
Yup, issue still exists here too. That, and my scratched unscratchable stronger-than-a-helicopter-windshield front gorilla glass.
Sweet God. This thread rocks.
So should I upgrade or wait? ROFL, sorry I had to ask before someone else did. Or maybe I need to wait until iOS 10.75 to the 10 power, Black Leopard is released.
I did read what you said. And I understand your point. It's just irrelevant to my question. An OS update isn't going to make hardware that can't run a 64-bit kernel run a 64-bit kernel.
The original poster asked if OS X will finally be 100% 64-bit with the 10.6.5 update. Evidently, it already is. As long as you have compatible hardware and kexts.
And my point was that a line has to be drawn somewhere. It's not a question of how hard it is to add the option. Apple draws the line at a different point than you would.
