Second build of Mac OS X 10.6.2 seeded to Apple developers
In the last few days, two builds of Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard have been seeded to the Mac developer community. The latest build, 10C591F, is 456.8 MB in size and adds about a dozen changes to the fifty or so tweaks in the prior build. Apple has asked developers to test nearly 150 specific areas in order to make the new version of Snow Leopard as clean as possible. Known issues that are outstanding and have yet to be addressed include Core Data output, video corruption, and occasional hangs within System Preferences.
With another release of Snow Leopard pending, I thought we could have a little fun with a poll. Given that it took 88 days for 10.5.2 to hit Software Update after the initial release of Leopard, it may be too soon for another Snow Leopard cub to show up (November 24th would be 88 days). Of course, the past isn't any indication of future Apple OS release dates, so your guess is going to be as good as mine. If we don't have a date range listed that's you think is plausible, let us know what your guess is in the comments.

October 12 2009 at 8:30 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAs far as I know the 10.5.2 came out 108 days ater the initial release. I7d say it will come in December.

Cut n paste in finder please?
You CAN do a cut in Finder. If you right click a file and select Cut, the file gets moved to the Trash. You can then move the file out of Trash to wherever you want to Paste.
If you do a Copy, you can then Paste it into another folder if you wish.
What battery issue?
October 11 2009 at 5:44 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDoes anyone else find their icon in the app menu (and others) redraw slowly in Snow Leopard? I'm on a 2.4GHz MBP with 4GB Ram and an 160GB HD, but when I open windows the icons are generic for a few (5-6) seconds until they are redrawn. Can I fix this somehow? Kind of annoying. I also get "caching" icons when opening a mounted server volume. I'm on a wired netowrk and it's FAST but still these little things popping up. could it be I need to do a permission repair or something in disk utility perhaps?
Thanks All!!!

I have the same problem. This update is supposed to include some graphics driver updates so that might be addressed. It's an annoying bug but not one that is a life or death type situation or anything for me.
