macuser74 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Let's hope its thru software update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnaca Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 It doesn't look like it will come through Software update. The "9a500n" build was pretty minor considering this is 27 builds ahead of it. This is a major update as reported by MacRumors so it warrants a re-download and install of the entire OS. Supposedly this is the most stable build and really close to what we will see in October. Plus you want to see the new intro vid anyways, eh?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor_C Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Supposedly the new intro has been implemented as well as a new space-themed desktop picture as the default. Would love to see some pics, I'm not running Leopard beta on any of my machines anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackerName Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Known Limitations: - Cisco VPN does not work in this seed. If you have it installed your system may become sluggish. To correct this, remove the Cisco VPN software from the StartupItems folder and restart. - Font validation and installation are very slow in this seed. Users should turn off validation in the Font Book preferences. - Installation will not succeed if your system has a SCSI PCI host adapter card and a connected SCSi drive. Power down your SCSI drive before installing the seed. - Files copied using SMB to a Windows server may become corrupt. Copies from Windows to Mac OS X Leopard or from Leopard to another Mac OS X server work correctly. - Sometimes AFP share points mount as Read-only. - If your installations are failing on a busy network, unload the ALF.kext from the start of the installer: 1. Choose your install language. 2. Switch from the Installer to the Terminal. 3. Type "/sbin/kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ALF.kext". 4.Quit Terminal and continue the install. - Performing firmware updates will result in an error dialog upon restart. Despite the warning, firmware updates will install successfully. To suppress the dialog, open the Accounts preference and manually remove the updater from your login items. - If you choose to migrate or perform an Archive and Install over an earlier Leopard system, your user-installed applications may not be copied to the new system. - The Parallels Desktop installer sets the wrong permissions on /. You can change them back by typing "sudo chmod 1775 / && sudo chgrp admin /" - If you use Archive & Install to install the seed or perform a user migration you may get a dialog asking for your password for SC helper. - Address Book Syncing does not work in the seed. It's best to turn off syncing of contacts to .Mac. - The MP4 AAC codec (in AudioCodecs.component) - API wapper codes have been completely re-factored. Please test your AAC applications for compatibility. - Quartz Composer based iTunes visualizers are now in the build and should be tested. You can create your own Quartz Composer developer application and install it in ~/Library Compositions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Notes I've observed so far:1. Menu bar is now only slightly transparent. Primarily white based. Much better, readable. 2. Traffic Lights (Close, Minimize, Zoom) are different. 3. Seems much snappier. 4. The gradient on menu-selections is now the same selected-gradient you see in the sidebar of the Finder (and latest iTunes releases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Click on the Smiley Face when you get there. That should be the wallpaper, I think it looks pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixlaumon Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 That should be the wallpaper, I think it looks pretty neat. If that is the genuine wallpaper, I got a copy of it. and a Flickr mirror: http://www.flickr.com/photos/felixlaumon/1230410550/ I got another too. But this one looks even better.(It looks like the background of Time Machine, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dunlop Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Has anyone seen any good screenshots from this latest build? Enough people seem to be running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus1982 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Maybe Apple pulled the screenshot-utility and shortcuts from this build. Anybody out there? I hear this build is much refined to the previous ones. Screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 From what I have "heard" from "colleagues" (wink, wink, nod, nod), there really do not appear to be any visual changes in the new build apart from what's already been discussed. Everything else seems to be "backend" changes, or so I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New traffic lights are a more than good enough reason to request screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus1982 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Exactly. Now bring the damn screenshots, please. We wanna see the new, less transparent menubar and the new traffic-lights. What about the horrible blue dots in the dock? Still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
