How is Mountain Lion's performace?

How is OS X performance?

Do you mean overall speed? Functionality? Both? I like the functionaliies it provides. It is not perfect, but works well. As for speed, It can be very good, depending upon your hardware. What is your computer?

How will mountain lion affect my office for mac 201111

How will mountain Lion affect my office for Mac 2011

I have been using Office for Mac 2011 for almost a year now and the issue started immediately after doing the upgrade.
When I start Outlook I can see that it takes 1 minute plus to set up the identity.
When it finally runs it is very slow and no fun to use. It seems that Outlook is using very few resources when I look at the activity monitor.
Overall it seems that my IMac has become slower than before upgrading to 10.8.
I do not have support with MSFT anymore and I do hope that somebody does report this issue to MSFT.
To me it seems to be very clear a result of the upgrade.
Hope that helps.

How many Mountain Lion updates I have?

Hi everyone, my question is:
I can update one second mac (iMac 27 ') having paid a mountain lion once in my McBook pro 15'?
Thanks!

And not charge me a second time?
No. The easiset way to accomplish it is after you DL the first time, before you install, choose install later or just quit out of the installer. Go to your /Applications folder and find and copy "Install OS X.dmg" to a pocket drive or some other media. The reason is, that after install it self destructs. When you're ready to install just double-click on it.
If you don't do it this way the installer will still be avaiable to you in the Apps Store but you need to DL it again.
How many updates I have with one payment?
Updates are free and you'll get them regularly until there are no more updates avaialble for the system. Usually years.

How does Mountain Lion Authentication work?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and am trying to understand how moving/saving files works now. If I want to move a file from an external disk by drag and drop I now need to authenticate with a password. If I want to move a file to the trash or change a file name I have to enter a password. Can someone explain this and is there a Knowledge based note on this? Is there a way to disable the requirement for a password? I went to the Finder help and it was no help.
Any tips on this would be appreciated.

I did check this. Read & Write for my account and Read Only for Fetching and Everyone. AppleCare says this new Authentication is a security feature of Mountain Lion (I guess probably in Lion also). From what I have tried if you try to move/write any files to the hard disk, change file names in the finder, move files to the trash, etc. the password has to be entered. I appreciate Apple providing the uer with better security, but if I want to trash a file or change its name I don't want to have to enter the password. This is overkill. I was asking what are all the rules for how it behaves and can it be disabled?

How download Mountain Lion?

I bought OS X MOUNTAIN LION, I recived the serial number and they told me to download it from the apple store. It doesn't appear!
How can I do? Thx

You can use the redemption code at the App Store. (Not the Apple online store).
Launch the App Store. Select either Top Charts, Featured, or Categories at the top of the window then click Redeem under Quick Links on the right.
What OS X do you currently have installed?

HT201250 how uninstall mountain lion - nikon coolscan software no longer works

After installing mountain lion a few moments ago, I have not lost a valuable resource - the ability to use my Nikon CoolScan 5000. Since this product cost a lot of money, I would like to just uninstall mountain so that I can still use the software associated with this great scanner.
I have never used the Apple Support Community before, so not sure if this is manned by employees of Apple who can help me or if this more other Apple Users.
Thanks!

Good news. I took the iMac to the local Apple Store and the Apple Geniuses at the Genius Bar were able to help me out. Since I had Time Machine backing up files they were able to wipe everything from computer and reload back to where I was. I still have the installation option to re-install Mountain Lion if I want, but for now I am going to keep where I am.
So if you ever run into this problem, schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar.
Thanks!

How come mountain lion reminders tell me a birthday is today when the date is tomorrow in addressbook

I have just installed mountain lion. for some reason i get two alerts for the birthday of a friend, one implying that it is today and one that it is tomorrow. I checked in addressbook and the birthday of that friend is correctly input as tomorrow.
is this a bug or is there a problem on my setup?
paul

As you can see below, it is set up to remind me the day before but the problem is that the entry is TWICE in the calendar, it is therefore reminding me both for today's entry and tomorrow's entry. In addressbook, i checked and she is only ONCE with ONE birthday.

How does Mountain Lion create a new mailbox?

I cannot create a new mailbox in Mountain Lion with either + or menu. Hints welcome.

I never did find a mailbox - I wasn't even able to name or position it. I finally quite Mail and restarted. For whatever reason, I was able to create a new mailbox. Thanks for your response, it encouraged me to look and try again.

How does Mountain Lion run on older Macs?

Does Mountain Lion run smooth on older Macs, like mine from 2009?

See Step 1 > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

Point of view on running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro?

I bought my MacBook Pro a couple of days before the current genneration came out in June of 2012. I was told that Mountain Lion would run well even on the older genneration and I was convinced by the 'genius' that it would be well worth it to buy the old one since I could get the old gen 15 inch for the price of the new gen 13 inch. I love mac, and my macbook but ive been hearing some stuff about how its Mountain Lion just doesnt run smoothly with the old gen hardware....im starting to agree with them. I havent got to use a new gen with mountain lion but i assume the freeze ups and the delays dont happen as much. Just looking for some thoughts from other people who have experienced this issue.....
biggest issue chat has just messed up texting with my iphone i had to delete it, notifying me randomly form days ago and other times not notifiying me at all

I have a late model 2011 mac and I ran mountain lion on it for a few months. It ran ok but I ended up reinstalling lion on it about a week ago just because I found lion ran better. I don't think it has anything to with the "slightly" older hardware. I think mountain lion is just a resource pig. One thing was very noticeable and that was the shut down time. With lion my mac shuts down in a second or 2. with mountain lion it took 5-10+ seconds and that was with a clean install of mountain lion.
If you don't need any of the newer feature, whatever they are, then just stay with lion. I read a article this morning that apple is coming out with 10.9 in a couple of months. So I'll try that, in a separate partition this time, when it comes out and see how I like it.

Will mountain lion run powerpc (rosetta)

hi
im a student who needs powerpc to run on my mac is there any chance that mountain lion will run powerpc?

Hello
How about Rosetta?
I have used 2 sophisticated specialist medical software applications since 1987, my whole practice is there, but I cannot use Lion as Lion rejects Rosetta. How about Mountain Lion?
Thanks, Fran
As above. I don't believe you will ever see Rosetta again. They began phasing PPC programs out seven years ago and Rosetta in Snow Leopard was pretty much a last chance courtesy for people to finish updating their programs to Intel ones. I keep a seperate Snow Leopard partition in case I run into something I have not yet converted over. Snow Leopard will be best for you until the makers of the specialist software you use update their software.

Mountain Lion Versus Adobe Acobat

How does Mountain Lion handle PDF documents versus Abobe Acrobat?

I do enjoy Preview very much and its usefulness and integration with iCloud very much. And while Preview has the ability to open and view pdfs and make very basic annotations; I am going to have to say this: (and this is leaning more to be true than my opinion); a person still needs to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. Unfortornate but true. Most people will either have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9.5.x or Adobe Acrobat Reader version 10.1.x or what ever the latest version is out this week - installed on a person's OS X computer, is. It also depends if the person has upped the version from version 9 to 10. Some people do not know version 10 is available. Also both versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader do not show up in Apple's Activity Monitor as being either 64 bit or 32 bit... so I am not sure if the application is still running at 32 bit, while Apple's Preview application does show up as being 64 bit in Apple's Activity Monitor. (What is up with that?)
There is also huge benefit and advantage in owning Adobe Professional Accrobat, however Adobe Professional Accrobat it is ridicioucly overpriced, and only marginally better from version to version. Not to mention Adobe Acrobat Professional is not located on the Mac App Store; (neither is Adobe Acrobat Reader for that matter).
While the professional program has gotten marginally better with more frills while eliminating packaging costs, shiping costs, merchant costs, return costs, etc the savings is not caryied over to the consumer. Instead it has only increased, which is ridiculous since companies are saving alot more now than before. Especially since everything is going by means of a download from either one's own digital store or another compay's digital store.The cost to the consumers has increased (even though companies use to sell their products at multiple stores and at multiple outlets. This is the very thing companies like Adobe, and Microsoft just do not understand, and as a result their loosing a share of their market because they are not giving better customer service, by making their products less costly to the consumer and not having their products available at various exchanges or markets. Before the consumer got good service from the brick and mortar sales associates. But it is going to more of a ideology that they do not need the middle man. Unfortnatelly the middle man is always needed, just now it is in a different way - having software available at various digital stores is not only a convience to customers but acts as a sort of middle man.
While Apple's customer service has grown because of their online digital store and is always getting better because of their online store, Adobe's ability to connect with customers, and give better deserving service to their customer has shrunk because Adobe wants their product sold only at their own store, and not at other exchanges, other digital stores, or other outlets, let alone the consumer's do not have that convience any more.
As for handeling pdf documents, it really comes down to Adobe (its their own product) and how well they cooperate with Apple.

Mountain lion and FCPX

How's Mountain Lion working with FCPX

You create a New Library to the chosen location:
This is step one.
It is unwise to juggle stuff around in the package Contents.
It's a better approach to move/copy things within FCP X.
Note in the screen shot the Copy to Library function and Move to Library.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.
