Does Mountain Lion really decrease batter life on a Macbook Pro that much?

I have an early 2011 15 inch. I want to use Apple TV to project my desktop.

Mountain Lion doesn't decrease the battery life in any noticable way when doing basic computing sort of things. Air Play to the Apple TV does tend to use up the battery a bit faster, so it's probably a good idea to plug it in if you intend to stream for a long period of time. Otherwise, don't worry about it too much.

Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

HT1338 When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

How do I get Mountain Lion for free if I bought my Macbook Pro at the right time?

So I got my Macbook Pro a few weeks ago and I was told I'd be getting Mountain Lion for free. How do I go about this on the app store?

Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update failed on MacBook Pro

This morning I used the Mac App Store to apply the latest Mountain Lion update along with Evernote and XCode updates. They installed, prompted me to restart and when I did I was greeted with a progress bar during startup. This gets about a quarter of the way through, then dissappears and the MacBook turns off. When I power on the laptop again, I get the progress bar again, it gets a quarter of the way through and powers off again.
This is the first time I've had a problem with my Mac in over 2 years so I'm not too sure where to even begin diagnosing the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

I had a similar issue, but the update wouldn't install via the app store, it just kept saying something must be wrong with the file, so I downloaded it from Apple's website. That was a mistake. When I installed it from the downloaded file, it corrupted my machine, as it seems it has with yours.
I tried booting into the recovery partition and running disk repar, but that told me I needed to backup and buy a new hard drive. Which I found funny since everything's been running fine up until the install (I'm on a MBP Mid-2010).
Long story short, I ended up having to reformat and restore from a TimeMachine backup. Everything's working fine now, and disk utility is reporting no problems.

The Mountain Lion Won't Install On My 2010 MacBook Pro

After I downloaded the Mountain Lion; it won't install because it says my hard drive is on a back up drive for the time machine. I've never used Time Machine and I only have one hard drive. I wasn't able to locate a backup file for time machine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

HT5730 OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 messed up my MacBook Pro

I just recently updated my MacBook Pro to 10.8.4 and now Safari, Messages, iTunes, and the App Store don't work. They "Shut down unexpectedly" as soon as I click on them.

Consider this with any OS update, major or not:
D/load Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner and:
1) perform:
- permission repair
- prebinding rebuilding
- scripts cleaning
Restart if needed.
2) Relaunch MLCC and clean all caches deeply.
Restart. it will be slow but it also willlbe getting faster while working.

Is Mountain Lion the most current operating system for MacBook Pro?

I am wondering if Mountain Lion is the most current operating system for the MacBook Pro. I am under the impression that 'Mavericks' is for the desktop Mac, am I correct? Thank You.

Actually, Mavericks is the current version of OS X replacing Mountain Lion. Mavericks will be replaced later this year by Yosemite. The upgrade to Mavericks is free. You can download the installer from the App Store.

HT4718 i got mountain lion as an upgrade to my new macbook pro i want to reinstall it please guide me how to reinstall

i want to reinstall moutain lion please guide me how to do it

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts and reinstall OS X

How do I switch back to mountain lion once I installed windows 7 on Macbook Pro? when I restart it goes straight to Windows

when I restart it goes straight to Windows
thanks

Press Option key on boot and press Macintosh HD. If you want to start always in Mac OS, open System Preferences > Startup Disk and select OS X partition

Does mountain lion support logic

Will my logic 9 and Word app work if i upgrade to mountain lion?

Hello,
I bought a Retina Macbook Pro, I installed Logic Pro 9 on Mountain Lion and everytime I put an EQ on a channel, Logic Pro stops operating during 10s and sometimes during 30/40seconds.
Someone have the same problem ? Any solutions ?
That's very a hassle ...

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 really decrease batter life on a Macbook Pro that much?
