General question about Mountain Lion

I've kept clear of Lion on both my MACS because of all the "bad press" it got, I'm still running Snow Leopard on my MACS and I've never had a day of problems with either. Also I run Logic Studios on both my MACS and didn't want to chance having issues with interface compatability, lack of drivers and such. My question is kind of simple and for better or worse comes down to opinion, what is the general feeling about Mountain Lion? Is it a big improvement over Lion? Is it more stable with less bugs? Any issues running Logic? I'm "playing with the idea" of upgrading but I want to do my research first. If Mountain Lion is not a big improvement over Lion or if people are having issues with running Logic I'm going to stick with SL.
Thanks for your opinions in advance.

Be cautious about listening too much to replies you're likely to get. These sort of questions in a place like this are like magnets to people who are having problems and want to complain about it. You're likely to hear some horror stories that don't represent the majority of cases.
ML has been excellent so far for me, faster than Lion and no serious bugs I've discovered so far. But if you upgrade, be sure to do your homework: backup, check compatibility of all your software (including things like printer drivers) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility before installing.

  • Question about Mountain Lion on iMac 27

    I recentely installed Mountain Lion on my iMac, and after the computer restarted and everything.  When I click on an icon, it doesn't go into the program or the apple menu too.  What can I do to solve this problem?

    That is checked (of course); however, I just actually tried the wireless mouse that came with the iMac and that works using a click - it does not work with my wired third party (Macally) USB mouse which is what I use (I do not care for the "un"ergonomically shaped Apple rodent). And it used to work with my Macally mouse, so something was definitely changed with the Lion release. I actually sent in a bug report for "loss of functionality" - didn't get me anywhere, LOL.

  • General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
    Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
    Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
    At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
    Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
    Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
    Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
    If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

  • I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion.  I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago.  my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion?  How do I check to see?

    As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.

  • Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

    Hi,
    I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones.  Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
    Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc.  Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
    Thanks again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
    Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward  messages to the BB.
    Those are basically the options.
    Hope that helps! Let us know!

  • General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

    Hello,
    I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
    Often internet-links like
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
    are posted here by group members.
    But where do these group members find these documents?
    All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
    Were can I find these PDF-Files?
    I would appreciate any hint and tip!
    Thank you!
    Kakue

  • HT4788 How about Mountain Lion?

    How about Mountain Lion?,I can't go to the library folder,how can I do?

    Or you can just hold down the Option key and go to the Go menu in Finder. The Library folder will be shown there so you can select and open it.
    Regards.

  • HT201272 Under purchased items in the APP Store, it say that the item you have requested is currently not available in the US store. The item in question is Mountain Lion OS X

    Under purchased items in the APP Store, it say that the item you have requested is currently not available in the US store. The item in question is Mountain Lion OS X which I have already paid for. Any ideas to retrieve this?

    When you submit a podcast you should get an email acknowledging the submission. If you subsequently submit it again you will get an error message saying that it's already been submitted.
    It then has to be assessed by a real person, which can take some time - a couple of weeks seems to be common, but it can be longer: however since March seems an unreasonably long time.
    When it's accepted (or rejected) you should get an email saying so, in the first case giving you a link to the Store page.
    More than that I can't tell you: obviously I don't have access to the inner workings of the Store. You could try asking Support, but I have to say you probably won't get a helpful answer. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • New Mac user. Question about restoring Lion

    I've had my Macbook Air for a few months now (just after the last refresh) and I love it, but I was just curious about something.. I recently had to format my PC laptop and afterwords realized some of the stock programs such as my DVD burning software etc were gone. I swore I had a disc that had all that stuff on there, but I was wrong.
    My question is, my Macbook Air came with iMovie & the iLife applications and I really don't wanna lose that stuff if I ever need to restore my Macbook for whatever reason. I know I can do backups, but with Mountain Lion coming out I might wanna do a clean install of it. I guess since this is my first time ever dealing with this I was curious if I would lose that stuff or how it all works since I wasn't given a restore disc or whatever. I know I can just redownload purchased applications from the AppStore, but I never purchased iMovie, Photobooth, iPhoto etc and I really REALLY don't wanna have to buy them just because I restored. So yea...how does it all work? Thanks

    The smartest thing you should do is backup your system on a regular basis. If you do this when you do a clean install  you will have all your apps, data files, settings etc. I would recommend creating a clone of your system at least weekly (I do mine nightly) using SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner . Also Apple covers the subject of recovery in a couple of advice letters Lion Recovery Disk Assistant & Lion Recovery, OS X Lion: About . Look these over for additional information.

  • General Questions about BI

    Hello,
    I want to get into SAP BI and have some questions about it.
    Is there a big downside in installing only the BI components without the Java BI components, or is it even possible if you want to work with BI. What are the general differences between BI and Java BI?
    I think the main aspects i will work with will be data warehousing and some basic reporting.
    The reason why i'm asking is that i want to run the BI components in the same system as the ECC Server (its just a test system). I read that the Java BI component needs EPC and EP and that would probably be too much for a single system (6 GB RAM).
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Martin

    Thanks for your hints, they were really helpful.
    As i mentioned i mainly want to work with the general Data Warehouse and Reporting capabilities, so i think it should be okay.
    Actually i'm planing to write about BI and SAP within my master thesis.
    Another question, what will be with SAP BI in the future regarding the Business Object acquisition? Is there still any point in learning SAP BI or will SAP BI disapear in the future? I heard that the basic BI functionality (e.g. Datawarehouse ) will still be used but the reporting capabilities  would be disappear. I'm not sure if that is right and i'm really new to this topic. So any comments are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Frustrated about Mountain Lion too... but.....

    I actually have been very excited for this Mountain Lion update! I am a new Mac user, this 27 iMac that I got on 6/21 is AMAZING, and already I feel that I will never venture back to Windows. After learning this OS, and finding out how easy it was, and just made more sense than Windows... I was even more excited about the update that integrated all the iOS stuff, as I have an iPhone and iPad as well. ( got the ipads the same day.. iphone user for 2 years).
    I requested the code on the 25th, and have yet to get it in my email. Yeah, I am frustrated but after really thinking about it, the bottom line is.. I will get it, I won't have to pay for it, and all will be well. I am not sure why there are so many people on these forum that are so upset, that they start condemning apple because something is not perfect.
    LOL maybe I am still used to Windows where nothing was perfect, and this would have been a normal thing to expect. Oh well... I still am excited to get my code, and check out the new features. Also, I am sure I will run into lots of issues that I have not attempted yet, and will need help, and I hope to come to these forums and find the answers I need.
    Thanks.

    I requested the code on the 25th, and have yet to get it in my email.

  • Asking general questions about 'computing' matters.

    Hello
    I'm new to the Mac world - I posted my first question on the forums today!
    I have reviewed the discussions site - everything seems very specific to apple products. Where, if anywhere, could I post a general question - like this one:-
    I have a notion that when one connects to a server directly (Usenet newsgroups for example) one makes a deliberate 'hole' in one's firewall, be it software or simply because one is using a NAT router. Sending messages to and receiving posts from Usenet is far quicker than using email, so I'm fairly confident that this is so.
    I am well aware that any URL one visits can instantly determine much information about the connecting machine. (see http://www.browserreport.com/ as an example).
    Anti-malware programs can only detect known viruses and spyware - I see no reason at all why, once one has granted a direct connection facility, between a group on a private server to
    one's own machine, malware could not relatively simply be injected onto one's computer.
    If the malware was currently unknown, how would one ever know?
    Thanks in anticipation of a helpful response

    Unfortunately, not in this forum. This forum is specifically about the discussion forum itself. It is kind of like a meta-forum. Hopefully, the moderators will just move your post somewhere more appropriate. (As indeed they just did!)

    Kind of and kind of not. Firewalls are greatly misunderstood. But essentially, yes, any internet connection you establish has some risk involved. However, the risk of making an outgoing connection is infinitesimally smaller than setting up a server to let hackers bang on 24x7.
    Sending messages to and receiving posts from Usenet is far quicker than using email, so I'm fairly confident that this is so.
    Really? I don't think so.
    I am well aware that any URL one visits can instantly determine much information about the connecting machine. (see http://www.browserreport.com/ as an example).
    Not really. It depends on what you are doing. You always give away your IP address, unless you are behind a proxy. In that case, you give away the proxy's IP address. But the proxy still knows who you really are.
    If the protocol in question supports such information, then it can be determined. A web browser does send some information about you, but you can easily change it and masquerade as some other browser. With other protocols, it isn't so easy to tell what kind of OS or software is being used.
    Anti-malware programs can only detect known viruses and spyware - I see no reason at all why, once one has granted a direct connection facility, between a group on a private server to
    one's own machine, malware could not relatively simply be injected onto one's computer.

    You wouldn't
    Don't grant anyone direct connection to your machine.
