Mountain Lion EATS-UP RAM and BATTERY!!!

Since I had the BAD idea to install Mountain Lion I have had only trouble.
1) Given the fact that Safari deosn't start and hangs endlessly, unless I ALWAYS force reload the pages, and given the absence - a REAL LOSS! - of functionalities like RSS which were in Safari 5.1.7 but not in Safari 6, I had to drop it as my favorite browser after MANY YEARS, and pass to Firefox which is FLAWLESS.
2) Another MAJOR issue that I want to mention is the fact that with M.L. my free Memory at startup, with the same login items, has gone down from an average of 6.9/7 Giga to a 5 Giga or less.
Even freeing memory doesn't help.
3) The other problem is a HORRIBLE DOWNGRADE ALSO IN BATTERY LIFE which has STARTED the moment I installed M.L.
Instead of the usual 7-7 1/2 hours, I now get about 3 1/2 hours.
I have done PRAM reset and permission repairs (which, BTW, take EVEN 10 minutes!!!) but to no avail.
And on top of it, EVERYTHING is much slower than with Snow Leopard!
A MAJOR SYSTEM UPDATE IS NEEDED URGENTLY!
This system for now s*u*c*k*s feet fungi! ...And one cannot go back to the previous system!!!

Thank you Thomas. Some common sense, respect and politeness helps.
Unless... I have no right to be upset at a system that was put out and for which I even payed (a first in 25 years for me with Mac) and someone finds "offensive" (who is he, the system's mom or child?) some very harsh (IMHO with reasons) criticism of this system!
To begin with, it would REALLY help if, INSTEAD OF SHOOTING answers  which are NOT answers, one took the time to read the question well and to try and understand if the person who asks is a newbie or not (in my profile there is a 25 years of Mac experience), and may be NOT insisting on the creation of a new user account when a few messages above I had already written that:
"I not only created a brand new user account, I actually ever re-formatted the whole disk and re-installed the system ANEW, one week after the first install and after innumerable problems, and NOTHING CHANGED".
I consider the REPEAT of such a suggestion just disrespectful, since I had written that I had already done all that and more, and I find it also also upsetting, after one week of PURE **** with my computer, something NEVER experienced before.
In the meantime, I disabled the [for me] useless and actually annoying "Notifications" even eliminating it from the toolbar, and free RAM at startup jumped immediately UP about ONE GIGA, back to 5.2 out of 8, and, after using freemory pro (even if it really bugs me to have to do that everytime I startup!) I gain another giga, and I am back to something more normal like 6.2 out of 8.
However, no way for me to have Safari start without forced reloading (while Firefox is flawless) and I also still have the rest of the BUGS, not last of which is with Mail showing the "blocked plug-in" (after  re-installing a brand new FlashPlayer with the new system installation) and not allowing Control-F in address field, which I had done since Mail was invented.
As another person, probably another "idiot" like me who doesn't know that Mountain Lion is perfect and it is all his fault, (I quote him): "I send out 'stuff' to a distribution of people (Bcc, of course) and always take pains to remove the original sender from the list. I then used to put the cursor in the list of distributes, hit Command + A then Command + F and "find" whomever it was I needed to omit. This handy feature is now disabled. Sigh."
I really resent that some people at Apple are so much under windoz influence that they have been eliminating one by one the great characteristics that made Mac a DIFFERENT system, above all a USER FRIENDLY SYSTEM.
Now it is much less so, and on top of it you have Mac users in this forum, who probably started with a PC (which I NEVER touched) who get upset when one points out the flaws in the new creations...
Besides some politeness and empathy, he should learn some English: it is "in the same VEIN", not vain...like his remarks... ;-)

  • This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    I attempted to burn a DVD of the installer, but that didn't work (files are too big).
    Also grabbed the ESD from inside the package and it started to work, then hung on the "installing" screen.
    Here is how I finally solved the problem after redownloading it 4-5 times:
    Put my MacBook Pro into target mode and used my Mac Mini to install Mtn Lion.
    At first the installer balked saying it wasn't signed right or some such BS. I tried again and it worked fine. I now even have a recovery parition which I didn't have before.
    So in the end I have no idea what the problem was but it was not:
    A proxy error corrupting the download
    A corrupted download of any kind
    Permissions errors
    Hard drive errors
    Incompatability with RAM or my hardware
    Incompatibility of my partitioning scheme
    I think there is a bug in the "pre-flight" checks the installer does prior to doing its job.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

    Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
    I can't get passed the complete installation
    What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
    all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
    The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application.  If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
    You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
    Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
    in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
    Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
    Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
    If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
    Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.

  • I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

    I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you purchase Mountain Lion, you can install it as many times as you want on all your computers for free. To install it on the desktop, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download OS X Mountain Lion.
    Another option is to redownload it on the MacBook, put the installer onto a USB drive and connect it to the desktop in order to upgrade

  • Can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
    However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
    Java is vulnerable… Again?!

  • Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Yes.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
    When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
    Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
    If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

    I recently upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and cannot open up .avi files now in Quicktime. These same files opened up with no problem prior to my upgrade.  Additionally, I had upgraded to the Pro version of Quicktime recently, but it appears I've retrograded back to the basic version, unexplainably.

    Hi Fred,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps
