For me it is the cure to all the slowness and cpu-hogging that was in Lion 10.7.4.
ML is noticeable faster and so far rock-solid; everything seems to work as advertised.
Core2Duo 2.10Ghz, 4GB of Ram. Enoughto have the ilife11 apps and iwork09 all open and surf the internet simultanously.
So, quite good at scaling cpu / ram per process. Lion would crawl then.

I just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why?
i just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why? also i can not seem to download pages from the app store, any idea's on why, please help!!
You need to describe more clearly what you are trying to do and how it is failing.
Was your mac new, or just new to you? What OS did it come with? Lion? Snow Leopard?
Have you already bought Mountain Lion? If so, are you using the same Apple ID that you used for your purchase?
What are you seeing in the App Store? Come to think of it, are in the MAC App Store? (not to be confused with the iTunes App Store!).
If you give answers to these questions we may be able to help! -
Hi, I can't get my old wacom intuos2 to work with mountain lion, any suggestions? Apart from buy a new tablet.
I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
If you get this message:
then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening. -

the NFSv4 domain name is not necessarily related to the host name or the host's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). It can be the same like the domain name, but it does not have to.
To find the corrent NFSv4 domain name, you have to look it up in the NFSv4 server's configuration files.
Kind regards,

So my 8core 2007 'FutureProof' Mac Pro won't run Mountain Lion - any work arounds?
Can it really be true that it's the end of the OS upgrading line for my 2007 MacPro?
Surely someone out there knows a way to get around this? After holding out for Mountain Lion
while switching from MobileMe to iCould in the 'knowledge' that it wasn't necessary to get Lion first, I thought I
could survive a few weeks!... Just to be disappointed!?! Please say it isn't so!...If you google you will find a step by guide. It's not the easiest process in the world but seems doable. Good luck

Hi.
After Update to Mountain Lion > Logic 7 doesn't run any more.
DO I HAVE TO "BUY" my already payed programme again (Logic Pro 9)?
Or is a free update available?
Thanx,
VolkerProblem:
1. I bought the Hardcover Package (Box) Logic Pro 6 (Power PC Software) years ago
2. Then I bought the Upgrade to Logic Pro 7 (still got this Upgrade CD)
3. When I try to re-install the Logic Pro 7 now from the Upgrade CD > it says something like "No Power PC software running on Max OS X (Mountain Lion)"
Some suggestions:
Your installer is most likely a PowerPC app which won't work in Lion or Mountain Lion.
If you have an existing working setup of Logic 7.x on your drive, that should work, but only if it's the later Intel-compatible version. I have Logic 7.2.1 working just fine in Lion.
Do you maybe have a partition or boot drive that still has Snow Leopard or earlier? You could try re-installing on there, though it could be a big task finding all the related files to copy across.
Go here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#logic
You'll find various Logic 7.x updaters. Maybe that'll help too. -
Since upgrading to mountain lion I've noticed the full screen icon which used to be on the playback bar in quicktime has gone, I know you can go to the menus to make it full screen but if you're watching something online like with apple trailers I can't seem to make them fullscreen anymore, is it me or have they just taken this option away now?
I've been playing the trailers in my browser and the full screen option has gone for me,
As already stated, the icon was replaced by the "Share" pop-up menu icon in the same location.
and the command-f keys don't work either when I'm playing in a browser and it's truly only been since I upgraded to mountain lion.
Strange! It works for me. Here is a link to a screen recording of me wayching a trailer in Safari and later watching a trailer download. In both cases the trailer could be expsnded for full screen viewing and then reduced back to the size of the original 720p player display screen. If you can't do this then you may have a player problem also.

Why did apple make these changes when they worked perfectly the old way, I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Only Apple whould know for sure but my guess would be that other users may have requested the "Share" pop-up more. Makes no difference to me because I normally use the key shortcuts anyway. -
Norton antivirus 12 for lion any good?
I know in the past Nortion antivirus software was as ruinious to a mac performance as the virus you are trying to avoid.
Is the new anti virus internet security 5 & antivirus12 designed for Lion, actually work now, without a HUGH performance hit?Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware that affects an up-to-date Mac OS system takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav — nothing else. -

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

is this a known issue? how do I fix it?
I'm having the same problem. Neither my iPhone 5 or 4s will connect with my Retina Pro machine. The pairing seems to go fine, however when I try to connect to the Mac on the phone, it returns and claims the unit is not supported - and removes the MBP from the list!
This is simply not acceptable for equipment as expensive as these products are. -
Ever since I updated to Safari 6.1, nothing using flash works. It is up to date and will work on all other web browsers.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video. -
I have been using FCP for 3 years and upgraded to Studio 2. I am going through an advanced tutorial and I am in the audio section. I have used noise print a long time ago, but when I use it in this tutorial, I get glassing and oscillation. This is in the Apple Pro training FCP6 beyond the basics. It is is the six one right tutorial where you try to remove background noise from the lorenzo lamas clip. I can't get it to work, do matter what settings I use.

mpeg video file won't open in quick time player on my macbook running snow leopard.
works fine on iMac running mountain lion.
any ideas?HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
Now iám using mac os 10.8.2
I can see the server, I can choose the drive, but when try to open a folder the message on Finder is: You don't have permissions to see the content.
I already delete the key and try to connect again, but the problem persist. Already try change the ip from file server. Already try differents users. (admin, guest, etc...)
I have a windows server 2008 and a NAS working with SMB protocol. Both with the same problem.
That problem occurs only on Finder, if I try see the folder by Terminal, is possible to see my files.
Any Solution ?
Any Tip ?
Any Question ?Not knowing how much RAM is installed in your iMac, your iMac can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I would strongly suggest installing the maximum 8 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Here is OWC's link to your model iMac and the RAM modules you will need.macsales
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
You can purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in the OS X dock.
Before installing, it would be prudent to make a backup copy of all of your important data or your entire current system. Either using, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives.
This is too insure protection of your data in case something goes wrong with the install of OS X Mountain Lion.
Good Luck! -
Just received a new Imac running OS10.8 Mountain Lion. I have MS Office 2004 that ran ok on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm told that this software will not work on the new OS. Are there any work arounds?

... and have only used Word and hate to try to learn something new if not necessary.
The dirty little secret that they are keeping from you, is YES, there is a way to continue to use Microsoft Office's Word 2004 in Mountain Lion!
It is to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on your new Mac and then install and run Word 2004 there:
[click on images to enlarge]
Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). Parallels 8 retails for $79 but can be found for less searching for discounts on the internet.
Personally I hate the way Microsoft has changed Word 2008 and Word 2011, because I was 100% comfortable with how Word 2004 was setup and utilized. There is a learning curve to both of these upgrades and a more steeper one to the "free" alternatives that were suggested to you.
In a perfect world, you should upgrade to Office 2011; I did (actually it was a gift, but the price was not an object for me anyway). But the world is not perfect...
So, if, like me, there are times that you are most comfortable operating in the Word 2004 environment, my suggestion offers you a easy, stable, relatively inexpensive means to continue to do so in Mountain Lion.
GOOD LUCK!
