hi I'm St Smith and welcome to Cult of
0:09
Mac Sunday tips Apple's now give the
0:11
ability to anyone with a Mac to install
0:13
pre software onto the system so you can
0:16
get it at the same time as developers
0:18
follow this video and you can install
0:20
and see it for
0:22
[Music]
0:28
yourself so the first thing you're going
0:30
to do is open up Safari and go to the
0:33
apples seed. apple.com beta program
0:36
click on enroll your Mac it also tells
0:38
you everything about it on there so
0:40
first thing that apple wared to do is
0:42
make a backup as obviously you are about
0:44
to install beta software so that will be
0:46
some bugs in this but that is part of
0:48
the reason apple is allowing you to
0:49
install it rather than just relying on
0:51
developers apple is now relying on all
0:52
its users to get in touch let them know
0:54
where the bugs are so they can fix them
0:56
and improve the next OS 10 you can go
0:58
down and install the software so you do
1:00
need OS 10 Mavericks 2 gig 2 gig or more
1:03
of memory or RAM and 8 gig or more of
1:06
available hard drive space once you
1:08
click to download Maverick's beta access
1:10
utility it will go straight to your
1:11
downloads and it's as easy to install as
1:13
anything else on a
1:15
Mac so open up the DMG and then it'll
1:18
have this package in it double
1:22
click which will then run the install
1:25
this is just exactly the same as you'd
1:27
run any other program
1:28
install it will warn you as well to back
1:31
up your
1:33
computer so then it's got some of the
1:35
legal jargon which you can read or
1:38
not so then pop your password in and
1:41
click
1:46
install now once the installation is
1:48
successful it will open up the Mac App
1:50
Store and it will require a restart to
1:52
install the new
1:53
software so we've now got a software
1:55
update as of the 27th of April we've got
1:58
a pre-released iTunes version
2:00
and we've also got an hours 10 update
2:02
seed which is obviously pre-released as
2:04
well it also gives you a little bit of a
2:06
a warning again just to make sure that
2:08
the users do know this is a beta and
2:10
there can be problems but that is part
2:12
of the reason of having this then it'll
2:14
prompt you to install and restart your
2:16
computer as there may be issues with
2:18
each beta of Apple releases they're
2:20
relying on users to give them the
2:21
feedback rather than purely relying on
2:23
developers as before this is due to OS
2:26
10 updates now being completely
2:28
free once installing it I came across
2:30
this new feedback assistant app so
2:33
basically I accept this put in my Apple
2:35
ID gives me the ability to give any
2:37
feedback about the new beta software to
2:39
Apple which will then help them make OS
2:41
10 even better in the long
2:44
run it's also very simple and easy to
2:47
give your feedback to Apple just choose
2:49
an option from the drop down so if you
2:52
have a problem with Safari you click
2:53
Safari you type in the single sentence
2:55
issue and then give them a little bit
2:57
more info they do gather diagnos IC
3:00
information but you can provide certain
3:01
files for them as
3:05
[Music]
