Mountain Lion OS a failure upgrade????

I have recently updated my macbook pro to mountain lion..after the update
1)my battery drains fast
2)Safari freezes quite often.
3)At times even a normal page takes a long time to load with a good net connection.
Any1 facing similar problems? I am really blaming myself for doing the upgrade for $20. Since my mac use to work much better than how it is now....Is there any specific settings to be changed or ?? I dont know., I am not a techie or somethign..just use my laptop for normal purpose....
My macbook pro is 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4gb ram and contains 10.8.3. It will be of great help if someone shed some light and help me...
Thank you.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Pkg's made by PackageMaker from Xcode4.2 stopped working after Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade!

We have some pkg's that used to install fine across Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
Those pkg's were made from PackageMaker that came with Xcode4.2.
Since last week's Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade, the pkg's preflight/postflight scripts stopped working
on Mountain Lion machines, but still work with Lion and Snow Leopard.
The current workaround we use is to produce the pkg using PackageMaker that comes from Xcode4.4 auxiliary tools.
These pkg's work fine on all mentioned OS X.
I think this should be either a bug in 10.8.1 upgrade or a change of policy.
Can someone reproduce and clarify?
Thanks!

You are not alone!!
Same problem with Plantronics.
I just bought their Audio 648 Stereo USB Headset and have exactly the same issue you mention at the outset:
Essentially, while my [Plantronics Audio 648] Headset is recognized in the list of devices in System Preferences > Sound, it doesn't do anything in terms of outputting or inputting audio
So Apple, what are you going to do?...
A lot of third party accessory manufacturers must be getting quite frustrated at the numer of complaints they get from Mac users, when it seems its the Mac OS which is to blame...

What, specifically, is your Mac model?
MacBook Pro, but need the year it was released, processor speed, etc. This will determine if it *can* be upgraded further.

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

I realized I still had this as an open question, so I thought I would follow up. By calling around, I was able to locate a Macbook Pro that still had ILife 09, so I bought that.
But then I found out I could actually continue on with Ilife 08, but just wiping the new computer and reinstalling the first disc (system) but not the second one (ilife). So then when I used a Time Machine backup from my old computer to migrate to the new one, it simply continued on with O8. This made me even happier as I really was trying to avoid Faces in iPhoto 09.
Thank you for the input (I did read it back when you posted it; I just did not realize I needed to "close" the question.)

How to upgrade to lion if your macbook cant take Mountain lion?, How to upgrade to lion if your macbook cant take Mountain lion?

At the Apple store they said they could not upgrade my late 2006 Macbook A1181 to Lion. And they would not support it since they only support Mountain Lion now? I upgraded to 4 RAM and the system is OS X 10.6.8. It should work. If not why not?

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade I was unable to log in to my accounts. After days of frustrating procedures (reinstalling, disk utility clean-up, verification, password resets on terminal window...)

I think I isolated the problem to a software issue. I called the software company and they directed me to a website with the following set of instructions:

ADmtiMac v5 is not supported on OS X 10.7, Lion. If you have already upgraded to Lion, the incompatibility can cause a situation preventing you from logging in to any account. To remedy this situation, please follow these steps:
NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable performing these steps, please contact our Support Specialists for further help.
1. Restart the computer holding down the Command+S keys. This will start the system up in Single User mode.
2. At the prompt type the following commands (these commands will be listed above the prompt just in case you need to reference them):
   /sbin/fsck -fy {hit the return key}
/sbin/mount -uw /   {hit the return key}
3. Modify the /etc/authorization. At the prompt type
   vi /etc/authorization    {return}
This opens the file in the vi editor. Then type:
   /AMHomeDirMechanism   {return}
This searches for the first occurrence of AMHomeDirMechanism (case-sensitivity is important).
do this:
dd     (don't press return, this deletes the line the cursor is on)
n     (don't press return, this searches for the next occurrence of AMHomeDirMechanism)
until there are no more occurrences of AMHomeDirMechanism (vi will say "E486: Pattern not found: AMHomeDirMechanism"). Depending on the version, there will be 3 or 4 occurrences.
Then:
   :wq    {return} (This saves the file).
(NOTE: You may see "E138 Can't write ciminfo file $HOME/.viminfo!". If so, please hit the return key, then continue.)
   exit    {return}
This last line allows the boot to continue, and you should then be able to log in andINSTALL ADmitMac v6.
I did this and it did not work. Redoing this several times over, I noticed that the issue is that Drive is "Read-only". Changing permissions is above my "pay-grade" Any help will be appreciated it. I do not want to wipe out my hard drive and restart anew.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

How do I install mountain lion not as an upgrade

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.6 on my computer. I'd like to upgrade to mountain lion. But instead of installing it over the existing system, I want to format my computer and start it fresh. How can I do that?

If you are running Snow Leopard (10.6.x), update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard before you purchase OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
When download of Mountain Lion is complete cancel the installation and you may create an installation disk from downloaded source.
How to do it you may find here
Or
Install it on top of existing system and if there is something that you do not like and think that clean install would make it better, you may start your computer from recovery partition created by Mountain Lion installation, reformat your disk and do clean install.

Unusable safari after Mountain Lion 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi,
After the last Mountain Lion update (10.8.2) using Safari is not like before to me. Every single time i wake up my Macbook Pro and run safari, pages I try to open just cant open normally, loading tooks for 2-5 min then page opens, after 5 min it works normally then again after few minutes same problem happens, without closing safari. But every time I turn on my macbook or open safari problem is there. My internet is working normally since I can use it on my sisters laptop, or when I restart my macbook to Window 7 Bootcamp. Only when I use in Mac OS X, internet/safari is not working well. Tried other browsers (Chrome/Mozilla Firefox) and they seem to work better then safari, open pages faster than safari, but still not normally like before. Again, using internet in bootcamp works perfectly. Any solutions?

Is there a way I can contact someone from Apple because I really cant use internet normally -.-...I am now downloading Mountain Lion again and ill try to reinstall it, if that doesnt works I just dont know what to do...i have tried everything...some link I can open, some links a cant open, after few minutes its normal and again after few minutes it doesnt work, its just annoying:/...i am really disappointed....just to mention, few weeks ago I had a problem with youtube, many videos I have tried to watch were working for me just for 30-40 sec and they just stop, also tried everything, even clean install of OS X, and havent fix the problem until installed adblock extension, there was problem with the ads on videos. But why is that just on mac, why not on bootcamp windows too? everything has worked great until upgrade to mountain lion-.-

If i purchase Lion now, will mountain lion be a free upgrade?

I heard if you buy a new computer with Lion, it will be a free upgrade to Mountain Lion when it is released. Does this apply the same if I download Lion now or will I have to purchase the Mountain Lion upgrade?
Does anyone know?
Please let me know.
Many Thanks

No, the download does not qualify. Lion must be part of a computer purchase on or after June 11.

MacBook Pro often unresponsive in Mountain Lion. Should I upgrade to Mavericks?

Hi, I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard about a month ago. Since then, my MacBook Pro has often become unresponsive, giving me the spinning beach ball -- or doing nothing at all -- when I have just a few applications running. (Typically, these may be Mail, Safari, iTunes and sometimes Adobe Lightroom 5.) I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB of factory-installed RAM. It was a snappy performer in Snow Leopard. I'm wondering now if I should try upgrading to Mavericks, and perhaps get a boost from the memory compression. Or will this potentially take whatever problems are slowing me down now and make them worse? Interested to hear your opinions, thanks.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal.

Is Lion (not Mountain Lion) still available for upgrading from snow leopard

Is Lion (not mountain lion) still available for download and upgrading from snow leopard?

Lion is no longer available from the Mac App Store. Even the thumb drive version has been withdrawn. It should be possible to get it by calling Apple Phone Sales.
