Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.1 Build 10B504 to Developers

On 09.09.09, In Apple, by dracman

MacRumors has received word that Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.1, Build 10B504, to developers this evening. The new build, which has appeared approximately one week after the initial seed of OS X 10.6.1, carries only a single increment in build number over the previous build.

Build 10B504 reportedly addresses only two documented issues, one related to crashing of Desktop Services in Finder, and a second related to excessive “dyld shared cache” Console messages. The dyld Console entries issue was the only known issue detailed in the seed notes of the previous build, and no such known issues are documented in Build 10B504.

Boot in 64bit mode in Snow Leopard

On 09.03.09, In Software, by dracman

For all K64-capable Macs, boot while holding down “6″ and “4″ keys simultaneously to select the 64-bit kernel. For a more permanent solution, use the nvram command to add arch=x86_64 to your boot-args string, or edit the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and addarch=x86_64 to the Kernel Flags string:

...
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>arch=x86_64</string>
...

To switch back to the 32-bit kernel, hold down the “3″ and “2″ keys during boot, or use one of the techniques above, replacing “x86_64″ with “i386″.
