Recieved Appleseed Invite, can't get beyond login

Patience is a virtue.

Incompetence isn't .

Inviting customers to a testing program, having the files ready from the beginning, and not being able to set up a simple download procedure - that's a tad pathetic for a computer/software giant .

It's a beta testing invitation not a production release.

Hardly anything to get your knickers in a twist over.

From what I have heard, Appleseed is a closed program where participants must agree to a non-disclosure agreement. Therefore, no one here in a public forum can discuss it. If you did receive an invitation to an Apple seeding program, it probably came with a contact e-mail address for support. I suggest you use that e-mail address to ask for assistance.

Well, this very topic is about this one particular issue .

Signing any NDA has not been made available yet .

I didn't hear about that either, I know because I tried .

Reading the brief thread will do to get an idea, though , no need for research - if I may make a suggestion .

I did write to the contact address, as I reported above, and got the response I included in my post. But I do think it's very strange to invite people to a program with an invitation that promises you can try it 'today' and then not to be able to sign the non-disclosure agreement. It's been several days, and there has been no real explanation for why we were invited to something and then prevented from accessing it.

I rcvd. an invitation, which I promptly accepted. Couple days later, I received a redeem code to use in the App Store. Downloaded and installed on the 11th.

As suggested, be patient. Still no joy, try the related forums on the appleseed site.

What do you mean with related forums? I can't get to the developer forums, because I can't accept those license agreements. I can't even change the language on this page to English, when you're using the iPad with Safari. It looks like some kind of Chinese, what I've never selected.

I see my name in the top right corner, but that's all.

I think that this page has more bugs than Mavericks...

Didn't even get a response to my email I sent them...

I strongly suggest fixing whatever is wrong with your various machines and/or browsers before installing any beta software.

Same here, got the same reply, further instructions to be sent when a build becomes available .

Same here. Maybe some of us got the invitation by mistake. I doubt I'll ever see those promised 'further instructions.'

I just tried again this morning and still no love.

I see there's been a build available for several days now so I tried again, but no luck.

Are you sure you are going to the correct website? Perhaps Apple decided to "mix things up" and use a different URL than in the past. Maybe you are going to the old URL that, while still functional, has no content. Maybe there is a link somewhere on that page to the new URL.

Just speculating about random things that might be possible...

If you are logged into the AppleSeed forums, then click on the "Dicussions" tab and post in those forums about your problems and how to resolve them. Seed tests are not to be publiclly discussed, so you should use the specific discussion forums for that test to discuss it.

Following the simple instructions in the emails/web pages should work for you to resolve your issues and if not, the forums for that specific seed are teh appropriate place to discuss, not in a public forum.
