Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H548) to Developers

Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.5 to developers this evening. Build 10H548 comes only two weeks after Build 10H542 which was seeded on September 14th. The seed notes appear relatively sparse with no known issues and the same "focus areas" as in other recent builds:

- 3D Graphics
- iCal
- Mail
- QuickTime
- Time Machine
- USB Devices

Apple's 10.6.4 update was released back in June, 2010. The frequency of developer seeds seemed to have slowed surrounding the iOS 4.1 launch, and appears to be picking back up. A public release date for Mac OS X 10.6.5 remains unknown.

Take your time, Apple. Get it right.

Only a fool would ask you to rush this.

10.6.4 is stable for me in every respect. Still look forward to some Apple goodness soon, however.

My guess: 10.6.5 adds support for iOS 4.2, including AirPlay and AirPrint. watch for it in early November.

Possibly even a build for the mythical MacBook Air refresh.

3D graphics? Another driver update?

Who the @#$% rated this as negative??? Who actually thinks that this is a bad thing?

I'm assuming it has to do with stability, security, or ATV support. As usual :rolleyes: :apple:

What really ticks me off is how I get a million updates for stuff I don't have like how iTunes 10 featured Ping (I can't use the iTunes Store because I don't have Safari 4 < because I don't have 10.5.8< because of a glitch). Even worse is those updates that add iPhone compatibility as if it's trying to rub in my face the fact that I don't have an iPhone :mad: but it's not enough for me to go around rating these posts as negative like someone did.

So the negative rater either hated update notifications or was a troll :rolleyes:

3D graphics? Another driver update?


I'd probably say it has more to do with OpenGL rather than the drivers itself - the drivers aren't the problem, it the lack of OpenGL optimisation, the lack of GLSL 1.3 and the uniform_buffer_object extension. Hopefully Apple is moving closer to addressing those issues because not all of the performance issues are related to the driver on the hardware.

3D graphics? Another driver update?


Nice signature, slowpoke. I got into an argument about Mac OS X vs Windows and the other guy said that MS's OS was better than Apple's OS because Dells have better processors...wow what the heck so a processor is software :confused:

I said that Mac OS X can do everything Windows can do (while being stable) and way more so how is Windows better? He asked how. I said that I use a VM if I need to run a Windows app (which I do about once a month). He said "What's the point of wasting $1K if you use it for Windows?". I almost called him an idiot because I JUST SAID "and way more". Then he got mad at me :rolleyes:
That is my argument I use against Windows fanboys who won't listen unless I tell them about the VM. Otherwise, if I talk about how Mac OS X itsself is superior, it turns into aggressive yelling from the other guy "Mac OS is more stable...YEAH THAT'S BECAUSE IT SUCKS AND DOESN'T RUN ANYTHING. Mac OS doesn't use as much RAM or processor power...YEAH THAT'S BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY HAVE CORE i5s. Dude, you shouldn't need a 3.3 GHz processor to run an OS without lagging. BWAGSGASG"
That's what usually happens.

I just updated to the new build and then had an issue with iTunes 10.1.

Every folder and playlist was simply a white screen. Ping did not login.

SuperDuper'd back to previous build. Back to normal.

Might just have been me, but be aware.

Cheers
