PyX Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 can't seem to figure out what the problem is Makes me wonder why some people are trying to do everything they can to fix a bug on an unfinished OS...

irunwithknives Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Makes me wonder why some people are trying to do everything they can to fix a bug on an unfinished OS... never said I'm doing everything i can i was just asking if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and if they knew a fix if not its not a big deal i just prefer listening to music on external speakers/headphones and my ipod doesn't power my DJ headphones very well Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/40/#findComment-593756180 Share on other sites More sharing options...

instant.human Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) WTF is /.MobileBackups?! Using a lot of Storage! It's present in SL aswell. It saves every single Backup you have ever done to your iPhone/iPod/iPad. I delete older ones regulary. Can be done safely, if you know what you're doing. ;) Whoops, mixed things up with /MobileSync/Backups. Sorry!

CPressland Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Whoops, mixed things up with /MobileSync/Backups. Sorry! Yeah I was gunna say! This is new, and it's got files from my desktop in in. Maybe a TimeMachine buffer? So that TimeMachine can continue to run without the extHD plugged in then transfer all the data when it's connected?

.Neo Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 +1 very hard to go back :D Yup, but I had to. Most of the applications I use aren't working properly. :( I found a new feature btw: If you press and hold a key on your keyboard, let's say the "E", it will give all additional letter options as well similar to iOS and Android.

Quillz Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If I recall correctly, Snow Leopard had new builds every two weeks. This build came on February 24, so we might possibly be getting a new build some time next week.

I recall updating my Snow Leopard preview... twice during the summer, or thrice, are you sure it wasn?t every month or so? I really can?t remember all that well.

Miuku. Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Those available through Software Update? Yes and they were usually quite large, even several gigs at a time (might depend a bit on what you had installed at the time) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/40/#findComment-593759004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall updating my Snow Leopard preview... twice during the summer, or thrice, are you sure it wasn?t every month or so? I really can?t remember all that well. I'm sure it was Snow Leopard, although it's possible some of the earliest builds weren't sent through Software Update. Lion will almost assuredly use the App Store, though. There will probably be a way to get a new redemption code and download the new build. Although Software Update has the advantage of downloading everything and rebooting, I think sending builds though App Store is more or less going to be the same, since it will download the installer, that runs and then you reboot.

Miuku. Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I am however finding it slightly annoying that I cannot find the defaults to write to "flip" the two finger scrolling in my older MBP 2007 which I'm using as a test bed for Lion - oh well, gotta dig deeper. Apparently the "newer" Touchpad module only works in newer MBPs.

protocol7 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I had the same problem with my 2006 MacBook. You have to attach a mouse and then go into the Mouse prefpane. The option to undo the inverted scrolling is in there.

Why go through all the trouble? Software Update makes much more sense and is easier on the servers.

It makes more sense, but I just think Apple will continue to use the App Store, so they can continue to tie a redemption code to your ADC account.

PyX Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 IMHO, as I said previously, they should kill Software Update and deliver all updates for free with no account needed through the Mac App Store. One single and simple way to update OS X. It?s really breaking my nuts that we have to create an account with a real credit card number just to buy free stuff. If they put the new builds on the Mac App Store, I say it?s a good sign of the eminent death of Software update, because this is the way they will beta-test this new functionality. If they push them through Software Update, it?s not true that they will make updates available through the App Store at the last minute without testing anything (user satisfaction at least).

Quillz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 What do they gain by that? Nothing, but considering the first build of Lion was distributed through the App Store instead of just providing a simple ISO, it seems like future builds will use it, as well.

Does Lion prevent you from downloading through the developer's website then?

He's complaining that he needs to provide credit card details to get free apps from the Store, when he could download them from the developer's website (like we did for all those years before the App Store) for free without handing over any details.
