Does Mountain Lion also run without installing lion bevore?

Hey,
I want to install Mountain Lion. Do I have to install Lion first or not?

No, as long as you have at least Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, and meet the hardware requirements found at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs you can go directly to Mountain Lion.

    does mountain lion support install from a RAID drive?

    Apple does not support the 3rd party drives.  To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
    http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
    I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
    the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
    Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly.  After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.

    The problem is probably not mountain lion. It works just fine on my computer. And a few million others.

  • Does Mountain Lion support trim for SSDs? ...

    I've been reading various forum posts and I find conflicting info. I did se several references to a tool called 'trim enabler.'
    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and installed a Samsung 830 SSD.
    System Report shows that trim is not enabled for the drive. Does Mountain Lion support trim for these drives? How important is it to enable it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

    Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
    Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
    I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Does Mountain Lion support Word 2008?

    Does Mountain Lion support MicroSoft Word 2008?

    I had completely uninstalled Office '08 on my old computer running Snow Leopard and had already made the switch to Office '11 when I got my new MBP with Lion. Since I used Setup Assistant, everything migrated well and I've had no trouble with ML and '11.
    However, if you visit the MS Office for Mac user forums you will note that many users of '08 - and Word '08 in particular - are/were having problems with Lion and, now, with ML. I would suggest that your wife just customize '11 to her liking - shortcuts can always be modified (well, most of the time).
    There are instructions on how to completely uninstall '08 here.

    Apple has been known to make changes between the GM and public releases. It's rare, but it has happened. In addition, RoaringApps also does not test these apps themselves; they rely on user reports which may or may not be accurate or current. So while RA is a useful guide, it's not definitive. Only the app's developer should be relied upon for official information on compatibility.
    We should not discuss the GM release here, by the way, since that's still under NDA.

  • How long does mountain lion take to download?

    On average how long does mountain lion take to download from the app store?

    Always keep an eye on 'More like this', the column to the right of your initial post.    You will often find answers and direct leads to your questions there.
    In fact it relates to your ISP and the download speeds you have.   I believe it is 4GB in size.

    how long does mountain lion take to download and where does it say how much it has left mine just says downloading ?

    It's totally dependent on your broadband speed.
    It took me about 45 minutes to download, but I have a reasonably fast connection.
    It will often say in the purchased pane of the Mac App Store how much longer it will take.
