Here's one particular for your freak occurrence archives. A TUAW reader e-mailed us right after operating Program Update on his new 2.8GHz i7 iMac previous night. An item odd popped up.
"I acquired a brand new 27-inch iMac earlier this week,
office 2007 Professional Plus," he wrote. "Last night time I checked for updates and it commences 'Downloading **PRERELEASE** Mac OS X Update...' I figured what the heck and let it go. Now my iMac is on 10.six.three which as far as I know isn't offered nevertheless?! I'm not a developer or anything so I'm unsure why this occurred."
Just just in case you're contemplating that Apple employee accessibility was to blame, right here are some standard details: The reader bought the iMac online from the Apple Store and was not ever in a very retail keep with it. The reader who sent us these screen shots is not really an Apple employee nor does he have accessibility to Apple's RSA Safe ID or VPN. He carried out his update in your house instead of at an Apple retail store.
This sort of update won't routinely show up inside wild on Software package Update. Prerelease, and specifically "**PRERELEASE**", updates refer to Apple-internal builds distributed to any Apple employee who has access to Apple's VPN. A **PRERELEASE** make is commonly seeded to staff 24 to 48 hrs prior to the make goes public via Program Update.
The pre-release weighs in at a whopping 1.19GB. The "About This Mac" screen shots he sent us (see under) notice the develop as 10D527 – a assemble that was reportedly released to developers today, only two days right after the last create. Builds that come close jointly ordinarily indicate a public release is imminent. It is not clear why this pre-release showed up about the TUAW reader's iMac.
