New Mountain Lion OSX draining my battery

I installed Apple's new OSX, Mountain Lion on my 2011 15" MacBook Pro and now the battery is draining in less than 3 hours.
Does anyone have a fix for this bug?

i don't have a fix either.. i'm just weighing in with a similar complaint.
My machine is only three days old but the battery is draining way too fast, since i upgraded to ML.
also not having the option to see the battery 'time remaining' in the menu bar is so annoying. i really rely on that! don't want to have to click it all the time..
Why would you take that feature away? The time remaining feature still exists but why have you disabled it from being in the menu bar?
please bring that option back!
I really hope that the apple people are seeing these comments!
i don't mean to complain as i'm really happy with everything else

    Hello,
    Regarding this unable to connect to internet issue, please confirm did you try deleting the opm.db file?
    The opm.db file can be found in the OOBE folder in:
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Also if it did not help, were you sble to reach these URLs:
    https://na1mbls.licenses.adobe.com
    https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com
    https://adobeid-na1.services.adobe.com
    https://na1r.services.adobe.com
    You can go to these links in your browser to verify they're accessible from your machine. If they load a webpage from Adobe, then the connection is working as expected.
    I would also be interested in knowing what kind  of internet connection are you using? Is it a wired or wireless connection and also if it is a USB broadband card or something else.
    Awaiting your response.
    Regards,

    hienn,
    Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
    So here's what I done so far:
    tried resetting PRAM - No success
    Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
    Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
    Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
    Tried booting from safe mode - no success
    Tried the command line boot - no success.
    Please someone help!

    Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
    Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
    Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
    I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

    Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

  • Will my 2010 Macbook Air that is currently running  Lion 10.7.5 support the new Mountain Lion OS?

    I habe an older Macbook air. Its a 2010 and is currently running  Lion 10.7.5. I was wondering if it would be able to support the new Mountain Lion OS?

    In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
    When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
    For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
    All other updates have been free and downloadable.  So I'm not a 10.6.7.
    10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
    10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
    10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
    Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
    After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

  • I am one of many who were frustrated at the loss of visible keywords in Lion.  Will the new Mountain Lion solve this problem?

    I an one of many who were frustrated at the loss of visible keywords in iPhoto in Lion.  Will the new Mountain Lion solve this problem?

    I'm not sure whether we are quite talking about the same thing? 
    With iPhoto in OSX 10.4.11 all the keywords were visible in the iPhoto library.  When I moved my photos to a computer with Lion I lost this feature, there was a lot of discussion at the time about this being a backward step by Apple.  So I wondered whether the Mountain Lion version of iPhoto has restored this feature?

  • I have an iMac Intel  2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded.  Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

    I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

    Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.
