Mountain Lion Graphics Issues (temporary fix)

Any help would be fantastic, from people with the same problem, or anyone who knows a fix.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion yester on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
The graphics are glitching big-time, to the point where the computer becomes unusable, slow and sluggish. Mission control barely opens, and when it does, the screen-spaces up the top showing the desktops glitch out and are barely viewable.
I managed to find a temporary fix, I download gfxCardStatus, which allows you to force the machine to use either the intergrated or discreet graphics. Forcing use of intergrated graphics, ie the intelHD chipset, fixes the issue, so it seems to be a problem perhaps relating to the Nvidia card........
If anyone has an update on this issue, or are experiencing the same thing, im all ears! I'm a designer, so rely on the more powerful discreet graphics, and am only going to get so far running on the weaker intergrated.
Cheers,
James

On Aug 21, NVIDIA driver update 5.0.24 became available for Mountain Lion. This link is for U.S./Canada. In particular, support for the GeForce 300M Series (320 and 330) are included. Anyone want to try this update and report back if it fixes your discrete issues? The usual caveat about backing up the stuff you want to keep prevails. I would also locate and backup the current NVIDIA related kernel extensions, for safe keeping.

Mail 6.0 (Mountain Lion) Graphics Issue

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and I've noticed that sometimes when I go into Mail, there seems to be a graphics glitch and then goes away. Today, I went to Apple and they told me its most likely a bug they'll have to patch since it's the first version of ML. I have a picture to show you (you can see where it's distorted). It's mostly when I open mail with a message from something that has links. They sent it to the engineers to see what's wrong. My hardware diagnostic came back fine too. Should I be worried? What do you guys think?

You're certainly not the only person experiencing this. I see it too on my MacBookAir4,2 and have seen a number of other forum posts describing the same thing.
I have only seen it in Mail. It appears over numbers and hyperlinks in messages. It moves with the window when the window is dragged around. It stays in the same place when scrolling the message initially, but after a second the view seems to redraw and the graphics glitches jump to a new position, enmass but maintain their position relative to each other.
It's not your hardware and it's not 'just your luck'; bugs are very common in new software. I get the impression this one is fairly common so I'm sure it will be resolved soon enough.

The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

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.

Safari 6.2 does NOT work in Mountain Lion; huge issues

Question is does anyone have any ideas about this.
Also my purpose is to WARN people NOT to upgrade to 6.2!!!
15" mid-2013 MBPr running 10.8.5. Upgraded to Safari 6.2 today and regret it mightily (this is why I rarely upgrade until FORCED). Immediately, could not open most of my Google docs or Gmail. Kept getting this dialog:
"This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload your page to continue."
But I couldn't reload--the error kept continuing. Endless loop of click Ok and it comes back. Plus, got colored spinning beach ball hangs on MANY other sites (including ironically Apple site to go to support forums). and every 3 seconds "webpages have stopped
NONE OF THIS was going on with the same tabs opened in 6.1.x or whatever it was before that. It was slow, but otherwise worked.
I tried to use Time Machine to go back to my last Safari app and of course got the message that Safari is necessary system software and could not be replace.
After trying to get through to tech support twice and getting disconnected (???) I got someone who told me it would NOT be possible in any way to downgrade to previous version of Safari.
I was further informed that "we cannot test new versions of browsers to work with all apps and be sure their functionality is not broken." I said "I would think Google, though, might be kind of a priority as one you would test." it's not like it's an OSCURE APP.
I was also told to upgrade to Mavericks so i could just use safari 7.1. I do NOT want to upgrade to Mavericks for very specific reasons (not the least of which, besides this situation which happens all too frequently, is that there are other things that are broken in Mavericks as i can see on my 13" retina Macbook, particularly with Apple Mail, which I find very annoying, and other functionalities and interface things that I find less friendly in Mavericks). I have one Mavericks machine and I want one Mountain Lion machine. Period. This should be OK.
I asked for a supervisor when the guy suggested i simply use a different browser like Firefox or Chrome. Are you KIDDING me? That's your answer?
I use Chrome and Safari each for specific work things and Firefox for all personal. THat is how I organize my stuff. I edit Google docs related to one client's work in Safari. THat is where my permissions are to access those docs.
I said that any released version Safari should work with major, hugely popular business apps and I should not have to SWITCH AWAY FROM SAFARi. If you are suggesting i NOT USE SAFARI, then it shouldn't be released. Period.
The supervisor told me that I could downgrade only by downgrading my whole system. Only way. (I later realized after I hung up--unless you can tell me otherwise--that means restoring my whole hard drive, NOT just my system,? Like FULL Time Machine restore of everything. If I could do JUST he system, I'd do it.)
He also said that it was "possible I could get Safari 6.2 working with Google docs" IF I "played around with settings and preferences in Safari."
Um. I said, prompting him, ahem…since I called in for support, perhaps you could work with me to give me some ideas of what those settings or changes might be, rather than have me "randomly play with" it?
He reluctantly did so, screen sharing with me, had me do all the things I;d already tried (restring Safari, restarting computer, etc), closing and opening those docs. He saw the error message through screen sharing. he could not explain it. We played around with opening the docs from Drive or email instead of from the bookmarked tabs.
Sometime into the call, it stopped doing it. We never knew why. So he thought we'd solved it (even though no explanation for why it had been, never identified a consistent source). He said "well, so Safari 6,2 DOES work." But after we hung up, it started doing it again. Mainly with Google (error message) but also with other sites (beach ball hangs). I will not bother calling back. I guess I either cant use Safari or need to restore my whole system to get old one back (again, I don't want to go to Mavericks on this machine).
Anyone got ideas?
What i find more concerning than the thing not working (which isn't insignificant ) is the lack of care and lack of knowledge that is now consistently apparent when I call for help, compared to how consistently awesome it used to be.
Sad.
I would appreciate any insights anyone has gleaned re this issue. And again I caution against 6.2.   My machine works great otherwise, Safari worked fien before the upgrade, and NO, i DO NOT have any anti-virus software!

Happy to. It's below.
Not everyone hijacked this thread thread btw--Danabeck for example said having EXACT same problem I am. Furthermore, the Sharepoint "fix" that worked, then stopped working is pretty weird.
and whatever is going on, it wasnt in Safari 6.1 with very same system. But sure--if something unneeded is causing problem with 6.2, I'd be delighted to dump it.

Does anyone else have Mountain lion stability issues that cause a crash once a week?

I have a mid-2011 27-inch iMac with 16GB ram and upgraded to Mountain lion as soon as it was available (like always for last 5 years); 8th Mac I've owned. Early on there were a few bugs and issues that I thought would go away just like previous upgrades. But it's been half a year now and I crash about every other day! This is by far the worst Apple OS change ever, from a stability perspective. What happens is I will do some mundane task (could be anything really) that will give be a spinning beach ball and then it gets worse. No programs respond and eventually the only thing to do is complete power off shutdown. What triggers this: clicking to open photo in Aperture, clicking a website icon in Safari, clicking upgrade software in App Store, running a backup with time machine, etc. etc. I can't detect any pattern as it's happened a lot. I'm a photographer so I spend more time in Aperture than most users and see a lot of crashes from there, but it's not just Aperture. This is getting to be like MS Windows. Apple - help! Please fix this OS before I have to buy a PC for better stability.

Mountain Lion Mail Issue

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Since upgrade I now have a problem with Mail v6.0 it works perfectly fine with two WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal WiFi networks, but not at all with my Uni WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network. I get internet connection but cannot receive or send mail. I have refreshed the networks. I have reinstalled the software. I have Used Connection Doctor but it says I have internet (green light) but get red for all mail pop and smtp accounts. I am baffled why it works perfectly fine on personal networks only.
I am considering unloading Mountain Lion as no-one at Apple phone support or in the Apple store can explain or fix it.

Yes, I know. But the better you explain the situation, the more likely someone will understand what is going on and be able to help. You just copied and pasted what you wrote before, which I asked for clarification about.
There is nothing about Mountain Lion that is going to restrict your network connections. Mountain Lion may be interacting with your university network better and implementing university restrictions that were broken before. It may be just a coincidence of timing.
You mentioned POP accounts with your ISP. Most POP accounts are stricted to their home network. This is because they usually aren't secure. Every time you check your e-mail you are broadcasting your password. The default SMTP configuration has no security settings either. It is standard for networks to block this default activity. You are blaming Mountain Lion but it sure sounds like your university network and Mountain Lion are operating correctly. Such default e-mail setting are supposed to be blocked. They are doing you a favour.
Get the secure e-mail settings for your e-mail from your ISP. Use IMAP instead of POP. Both IMAP and SMTP can be configured to use secure ports and will require your account name and password. Once you use these settings, your Mail will work from anywhere.

Mountain lion wifi issue

Ok. This is super frustrating. Its been three generations now since this wifi issue. I have mid 2010 MBP with broadcom drivers. The wifi wont pass traffic with cisco APs. The only fix is disable 11n rates then only it will connect. I had to downgrade the driver to 10.61 etc to fix that issue. Today i upgraded to mountain lion and surprise.... My wifi is pretty much useless... Pings to default gateway are pn an avg 4ms and good minutes of ping losses..
This is just not acceptable. This is stupid and lame and apple nees to fix this pronto..
Geez apple is making billions of revenue and freaking cannot fix a stupid driver issue... I want my money back... And above all give me my time back which i spent to tshoot this problem...

This is on Mountain Lion drivers

MacBook Pro 8,2 (Late 2011), Mountain Lion thunderbolt issue

Hi!
Since my upgrade to OS X 10.8.1 (Mountain Lion) yesterday the ports on the back o my 27 " thunderbolt display no longer seems to function?
I can hook up my keyboard directly to my MacBook Pro (Late 2011, 8,2) and it works just fine, and it was working from the thunderbolt display until my update.
So, I'm assuming that this is a problem with Mountain Lion. Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks!

Now to the adventure on this, the above model (stock) ships with a Operating System MAC OS X Leopard which was succeeded by MAC OS X Snow Leopard ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which was again upgraded to MAC OS X Lion ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) and the latest one is MAC OS X Mountain Lion ( $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ).
Interesting part to all this technological babble is how APPLE INC forces you buy their product both hardware and software. Now, I have this old MacBook Early 2008 Model PC and I took it to the shop and I thought I would upgrade the software (OS and APPS) so I take it to the iStore ‘Rescue Centre’, as APPLE INC calls it world over, they say you will have to upgrade it version by version and each version would cost you a licence fee! SO the cost break up would be, I’m currently on MAC OS X Leopard to be updated by MAC OS X Snow Leopard ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which again to be upgraded MAC OS X Lion ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) and then to latest one is MAC OS X Mountain Lion ( cost $19.99 / INR 1060.00 approx. ) which means I have to pay INR 3210.00 to upgrade the machine and I agree to pay for that and after two upgrades the third one(that is the latest version) was not compatible with my machine because of inferior/outdated hardware e unit and If I want the new operating system then I told to buy the new machine which costs between INR 90,000 to INR 1,40,000!!
That … ***** !!!
So I’m here looking for somebody, anybody, whether you would be able to help me with my MacBook which is early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn Series (for exact specifications, see above) and I currently running Lion on it and wondering is there any way I can upgrade this to Mountain Lion?

Your early 2008 MacBook cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion. The reason is that Mountain Lion is entirely a 64 bit operating system, and cannot use any 32 bit components. Lion, while also 64 bit-based, can use some 32 bit components, and thus would work on all Core 2 Duo machines. This article has more details.
The center you went to was incorrect when they said you have to upgrade to each operating system. You need to be at Snow Leopard in order to access the App store to download Mountain Lion. You don't have to install Lion to get to Mountain Lion. See this Apple page on this.

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.

Mountain Lion Graphic Driver Updates

i have a Macbook Pro late 2010 with Intel HD Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Anyone here using the same model and has updated to Mountain Lion?
Any graphic driver updates available for this particular graphic card model in Mountain Lion?

I have the same question. Cant find any answers from NVidia or from Apple websites or forums.
I am running 10.8.5 and not at all happy with the performance.
It seems like Apple may not be supporting updates for this Graphics cards? Since it is not that old, this would be pretty negligent on their part.
Anyone have any links to info on this card NVidia GeForce GT 330M and Mountain Lion?

Mountain Lion graphics program recommendation

Can anyone suggest a decent graphics program that will run in mountain lion? Nothing really high level or expensive, but that can do some mid-level draw and paint creation and editing?

Pixelmator is highly rated. As is Red Pill.
