I wonder if it isn't a Gmail IMAP thing. Or perhaps an IMAP thing in general. I haven't got 11A444d anymore, so I can't test it out, but if you've still got it and wanted to try something, you should attempt removing just the Gmail account, see if it clears up, and if it's still around, try removing both email accounts and see if it still wigs out.

I'd try it myself, but we've currently got satellite internet, and it's just absolutely dreadful for downloading anything over 10MB. *facepalm* It's this or dial up. I love living in a rural area.

I'll try it and report back. It usually takes a while to freeze. I think it may have to do with having Mail open and going into hibernation.

You could try opening iTunes as well, if you haven't already. That seemed to do it for me. I never actually even had my system go to sleep/hibernate actually, it was too busy being locked up. :p

Having the same problem of Takuro. Updated DP2 and now Safari crashes constantly, cannot even launch it. Now switched to Chrome, which works ok, but must be forced to quit.

Anybody could help me fixing this?
Thanks,

Impossible to use Safari. It crashes all the time particularly when downloading something. As a matter of fact, particularly impossible to use the last update...full of annoying bugs.:p

I really wouldn't recommend doing an "upgrade" from SL. Even after a clean install, Lion can be pretty buggy yet, I can't imagine what it'd be like after an "upgrade". The difference could be minimal, but it could also be terrible.

With a clean install of DP2, nothing else installed, my drive currently reports 13.85GB used.

I'm running 3rd dev. Lion, after opening Aperture 3.1.2 i noticed the menu bar menus don't get updated to 'Aperture' menus. The correct menus still appear once you click on the relevant spot, but the titles are wrong.
How do i officially report this to Apple?
I got my dev. acc this month :D

I had that exact problem. Are you sure you're running the latest version? It disappeared after I updated to the newest Lion build.

Wow, Safari two-finger history sliding is so freakin' cool. Had no idea you could do that. Thanks for the tip! :)

Can someone post a picture or a quick video showing this? I am really curious about this.

Yep. That's the old version. Just go into Software Update and install the newest version and your Aperture problems should be gone.

:eek::eek: Noooo!!! No!! Don't do that! Do not update it!!! You'll bitterly regret if you do so!! It's is completely buggy buggy ...:(:( Oooooooh!!...to late!!...You did it...sorry.:p:D

Today after playing with the big cat on my MBP, I was frustrated by so many pesky details (especially in respect to multitouch) that I feel better posting this.

- Quicktime Player X no longer saves Quicktime movies (it only exports, which requires transcoding)

No input on this as I don't use QuickTime Player X.

- Lots a Quicktime movies that used to play well in Quicktime X now require Quicktime 7. (an no, it's not a question of codec, it seems that QT player X can no longer play movies that were edited in QT 7 pro. Edited, not just trimmed. Trimmed movies still work).

Again, no input on this.

- The 4-finger swipe upward no longer shows the desktop (instead, you need to perform the near-impossible 4-finger pinch™).

4-finger pinch is easy. Put your index, middle, ring and pinkie finger on the trackpad all next to each other and then put them all completely straight right next to each other so it's like they're attached. Boom easy. :)

- Finder no longer supports pinch to zoom (makes icons bigger).

I always have hated this. I'd always do the 3-finger swipe to the sides to go back and forth between folders and sometimes instead of going back and forth between folders, it'd increase the size of folders to an extremely big size which is completely annoying. This is just my opinion, though.

- Same as above for Safari in coverflow mode (browsing history or bookmarks).

I don't use Safari so I dunno about this one.

- The path bar (Finder) doesn't show automatically in search windows. It's either always on or off.

Don't really know what you mean by this.

- If you perform a 4-finger swipe and hold your fingers on the trackpad, removing them after a while won't restore the previous state.

I never knew this could even be done until I read this post lol. Not a problem for me as I never use it, but again, that's just my opinion. :)

And in many (most) areas, performance has regressed: scrolling (especially in Safari, Mail and Preview), zooming (preview), video thumbnail generation in the Finder and CPU usage in Quicklook, shutdown time and RAM usage (what a memory hog :eek:). Hopefully, these issues will be fixed in the final release.


That's just because it's the beta. You know Apple would never release a slow, laggy, memory hogging operating system. ;)

My replies in red. :)

Do you guys think Apple will possibly add a Launchpad symbol to one of the keyboard keys (F5?) in future Macs?

They would have to replace one of the existing icons then, either Exposé or Dashboard... Everything else is already taken for various controls.

I use the Dashboard button a lot, as you can invoke Exposé with gestures but not Dashboard. And I think Exposé (okay, Mission Control) is way more important than Launchpad, but in Lion you can do both with gestures so I doubt they would need to add a physical button for that.
