6D50 10.2.1 is out

6D51

I would have had this up earlier, but my computer decided to tank. It took me a couple hours to get it back up. I got scratched on my case too, to boot. :mad:

Here's pacifists view of 6D51's contenets:

Sorry i should have explained, there is a downgrader out that allows you to essentially erase the previous builds of 10.2.1 6D44 and 6D46 for soem reson there is problems if you try to go up to 6D51 from those builds of 10.2.1
 
Thats great, so if 6D51 is not the final I could use it (the downgrader) to downgrade and allow the final of 10.2.1 to install ok?

Can you post a link?

Thanks for the info :D

This isn't exactly freeware that we're downloading. It's beta software covered under the Apple NDA. People just don't put up html links to it on their websites. That's asking for trouble.

The server communities to look for it on are Carracho and KDX.
 
i am very much in favor of sharing and exploring these sorts of things, however, in this case, as mc68k mentioned this is not freeware. it is software betas meant for distribution to beta testers and is covered under apple's NDA. discussion of how to obtain such material is not allowed in these forums.

and as a less moderatory note, you should never run such software as your main operating system. this is not distributed to the public for a very good reason (besides apple liking its secrets), it is not finished and could screw up your machines. if you feel you are experienced enough to test out betaware you should also be experienced enough to know that you should run this on a spare computer, drive, or partition and be damned careful to prevent loss of data. also if testing betaware is something you enjoy you should contact software developers with your feedback and let them know you would be interested in beta testing their software in the future. it might sound improbably but i think you woudl be surprised how open a company will be with their betas if you provide good feedback.

all that being said, please refrain from discussing the acquisition of materials such as these through anything but the legal routes. a public forum is not the best place for this and is not allowed on this particular public forum.

Hey! Steady on! I do happen to have ADC seed access, and was only asking what this 'downgrader' software was to ensure I don’t have to perform a clean install should a newer build come out, I’ve not installed any previous builds so have no experience with updating to newer builds of the same OS version.

Please do not jump to conclusions!

This question was asked with the best intentions I was however under the impression that the 'downgrader' software was legitimate.

And yes I'm aware of the NDA and feel that in no way have I contravened it.

Sorry for asking! jeez! :mad:

Cool. Didn't know if everyone here knew where all these builds are coming from. I just wanted to take the oppurtunity to educate. No hard feelings. :)
 
of course its till aqua, jaguar is just the code name, and besides, I would rather be soaked in aqua than jaguar, there are some jaguar skins anyways
 
I want a Jaguar "About Box"!

RE: 6D51 - Nice! Smooth.

There's a definite improvement in QE. I've never seen a computer look so good.

BTW - do not install these updates over another 10.2.1 update.

Does anyone know where the "X" image in the about box lives. I'd like to give it some furr : )

I installed an update over an update and its still smooth, Went from 6D46 to 6D50 to 6D51 with no trouble at all
 
6D50 and 6D51 do not work on Wallstreet and Pismo Powerbooks (at least not mine). After restart keyboard isn't functional. Beware!

:rolleyes:
