Is the Mountain Lion battery issue fixed - question???

Hello,
I've been reading that the latest update to Mountain Lion has fixed the battery drain.
Has anybody here got this release on a Late 2008 MacBook?
How is it running? Has the battery issue been fixed or improved?
Cheers

You can look here to see if your battery simply needs replacing:
Go to About This Mac (under the Apple logo in the menu bar).  Then click "More Info", then "System Report".  Click the "Power" row on the left.  You should see major headers like "Model Information", "Charge Information".
Look under "Health Information" and find "Cycle Count".  How big is that number?  If it is around 1000 or more, it may well be time to replace the battery.

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

  • HT1338 why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..

    why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..
    I tried to restart the mac several times. It doesnt work all the same.

    I found something that fixed the issue for me.
    First close the App Store -> then use spotlight to find something called Keychain Access -> go to prefreences in keychain access -> under the Certificates tab navigate to "Certificates Revocation List (CRL): -> change this to off.
    Close Keychain Access
    Reopen the App Store
    Go back to keychain access -> Preferences -> Certifictes tab -> change "Certificate Revocation List (CRL): to "Best Attempt".
    Close Keychain Access
    Close App Store
    Reopen App Store
    then naviagte to updates and it downloaded just fine for me.
    Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • OS X Mountain lion download issues

    Hi, I just purchased OS X Mountain Lion from the app store.
    The download started ok, then my internet connection dropped (which is the issue I am trying to sove for as all my other Apple devices are fine and dandy when it comes to wifi connection except my iMac on OS X 10.7.5) and the download icon dissapeared from launchpad.
    I went back to the app store, downloaded it again and now it's permanently stuck "waiting" even with the wifi on.
    Any tips/tricks for making this download actually happen? Thanks in advance for any help.

    This has worked for some.
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.  Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy.  It won't charge you again.

  • Reminders made in the mountain lion app are not appearing in the ios app

    I installed mountain lion and the reminders app seems to be misbehaving.
    I have icloud enabled on my mac and my iphone.
    When I create a reminder on my iphone it shows up on my mac in about 30 seconds but when I make one on my mac it never shows up on my iphone.  In addition, I made a new list on my mac and when it also didn't show up on my iphone I made a list on my iphone to test and the list created on my mac dissappeared without a trace when the list created on the iphone came through.
    Is anyone else having issues with items syncing in the mountain lion reminders app?

    Yep. Looks like the function is down. And only for music. Movies, tv etc. work fine. Hadn't noticed until now since I never use genre as a filter.

    Dear  MAC-Friends.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
    I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
    Choose another Library ?  ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
    and the other possibility is:
    Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library  ?
    And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    Kind regards  FINN GRABOWSKI

    Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
    Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
    If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

  • I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. when i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space!

    I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. When i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space! HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.

  • Cd/dvd rom fail after the mountain lion installation

    Recently, I installed os (the mountain lion) on my 2009 mac mini. Data CDs and DVDs are available to see but not working(internal super drive). also every audio cd is not recognized at all. I tried to downgrade os to lion but it does not work too. Therefore, I re-installed ML and wait for Apple's updates.
    Some update patches I downloaded a month ago was working good but it became dead again after installing other updates. 
    I hope Apple staffs would take care of this issue because many customers have purchased mac for its safety, innovation and faithful care. 

    No.
    You just need to show the update again.
    Go to your account and "Show hidden purchases" or something like that.
    You can't delete it.

  • Help!if i don`t update the lion ,is to say i can`t update the mountain lion?right?

          Now, I don`t update the Lion ,but I want to update the Mountain Lion .Is to say I must first to update my mac to Lion,then I can update to Mountain Lion?right??//   please give me a help thanks!

    No App Store, no spaces, no Time Machine, etc. etc.
    As I said, no technolgical advance, no compelling reason to use it. Time Machine is not at all what Apple once promoted it as, since they dropped it in Lion.
    And as far as Lion goes, a few that could not adjust their habits to a few interface changes went back to SL, which is still two OSs ahead of you.
    This has nothing to do with people not being able to adjust their habits; it has everything to do with productivity, loss of features, and introduction of a new, confusing set of behaviors.
    I don't know where you get your numbers from, I would like to see you back up your claim of 'so many people' as 6 million copies were downloaded in the first week alone
    I didn't cite any numbers, so wondering where I got them is pointless. Reciting a claim that over 6 million copies of Lion were downloaded in the first week proves nothing.
    Judging by the number of people on the forums who are not at all happy with Lion and asking how to downgrade is evidence of user dissatisfaction. Most people who are dissatisfied will not say anything at all, resigning themselves to being required to use it, thus making them unhappy customers and less likely to purchase another Mac or any other Apple device in the future.
    Yet you seem to claim that 10.4.11 is where people should stop?
    I didn't say or imply anything of the sort. I said that there's no good reason to upgrade just because it's shiny and new. Mac OS X has become bloated with "features" that have little or no practical value, and are seldom used, while at the same time breaking long-established features for no good reason, and having no replacement in place. At the same time, features that worked perfectly well in 10.4.11 and before were deliberately removed from later versions, without prior notice and never restored, along with bugs being introduced that also have never been fixed.
    That's not my definition of progress, and I'd wager millions of others share that viewpoint.

  • Is there an application like "snag it" for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?

    Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?  If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?

    Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
    COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
    COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
    In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
    Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out.

  • VPN to Mountain Lion Server issues

    Hi,
    I checked a lot of VPN threads here today, but I wasn't able to find a solution for my problem just now. I try to connect by VPN to my Mountain Lion Server, but I get an error message that the VPN server is not responding. I get this message from iPhone and Mac. The Mountain Lion Server is a new installation, no upgrade from an older server.
    Some informations on my setup:
    I installed the server with a hostname like myserver.mycompany.com and option 3 (internet access), as I want to use it for email at a later stage. All services are working fine (except VPN). DNS is active, but basically it only contains the adress myserver.mycompany.com and forwards everything else to our router.
    I changed the DNS settings of our domain ( hosted by an ISP - so not in the local DNS ! ). I created a subdomain vpn.mycompany.com which points to the static IP of our router.
    In the router I opened the UDP ports 500, 1701 and 4500, and for 1701 i made the same thing for TCP (I found this in a forum, but I think this is not necessary?), the ports are pointing to the ip of the os x server.
    In OS X Server I started VPN for L2TP using the vpn.mycompany.com hostname, and a shared secret.
    When I try to connect with I client from outside I try to connect using L2TP via vpn.mycompany.com using the shared secred and user-id and password. The user-id is created in OS X Mountain Lion server and is configured to use VPN service. When trying to connect I get the error message "L2TP-VPN server is not repsonding...".
    In the log file of the server I see some entries for each connect:
    Oct 10 20:21:45 myserver.mycompany.com racoon[13873]: Connecting.
    Oct 10 20:21:45 myserver.mycompany.com racoon[13873]: IPSec Phase1 started (Initiated by peer).

    No more entries in log file now. Anyone any ideas what's going wrong. Might there be a problem as I use another servername outside as inside (vpn... instead of myserver...)?
    Thanks!

    Solved, first of all we tested to establish the VPN connection locally by adding the ip address of the server to /etc/hosts for vpn.mycompany.com. The VPN connected without problems then, so it was clear that it is a firewall/router problem, and not a server problem.
    After that we studied some more documentations and found that we don't have to open port 50, but ip protocoll 50 (ESP) on the firewall. After that was done, the connection was working from the internet as well.
