Spaces ≠ Mountian Lion

Is there any discussion in the development community about making Mission Control more versitle and visually oriented like Spaces was? Honestly I just want Spaces back... I could always expect certian windows and programs to be in the same place visually and be able to move things from one to another with out having to go into each 'space' one by one to move things out. Any discussion by the developers to bring back these features would make me REALLY REALLY happy. The only problem with spaces way the glitchy animation, but I prefer that to the neo-situationist hierarchy-by-proximity relationship that wont let you move stuff from one space to another construct that Mission Control uses.
Ok, sorry that was a rant, but I think Mission Control is a major step backward in my workflow.

Bring back old working Spaces and Expose

Macbook running slow after mountian lion install??

i have a late 2010 macbook (white) and i recently upgraded my mac to mountian lion after ugrading to 4 GB of RAM. i tried the vram and pram reset but that was a couple months ago. maybe i should try it again? what else do i need to do?

45 - 50 sec to log in.

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

What do I do? Please help me. (Mountian Lion, Disk Utility, Partition, Boot Camp)

I was trying to upgrade my snow leopard to mountian lion on my macbook pro 13". I didn't fully understand how to do it so I googled and found out i had to make a partition with a specific format. Prior, I did a bootcamp so I can install window 7. I partitioned my macbook with window 7 and osx. When i went to disk utility i didn't have enough space so i deleted my window 7 partition. ( i think i did it unproperly hence i have the problem). When i deleted it, it gave a random partition disk, my apple partition and the empty space i deleted for my window 7. I basically gave up on my mountian lion installation and restarted my computer. When my computer boots up it comes up with "Non-System disk" "Press any key to reboot".
What i tried was to stick in the mac ox cd in, and the application cd. Both doesn't work. Im trying to find where my window 7 cd is to see if i can restore the partition i deleted. I thats not the solution please help me
UPDATE: Also i was thinking about buying the Macbook Pro 15". With the current condition i have on my macbook pro 13" am i able to recycle it and get some store credit for it?

Once you back into OS X, reboot holding the command option r keys down, or command r keys and use that Disk Utility to repair your drive or MacintoshHD partition.
Then reboot normally and use that Disk Utiltiy to grab the little corner resizer of your MacintoshHD partition and drag it over the gray space at the bottom to reclaim the deleted Windows BootCamp partition.
If you want to try Mountain Lion, I suggest you do so on a extenral powered drive.
1: Format a external powered drive in Disk Utility Partition 1, Option: GUID Format OS X Extended Journaled and give it name like Mountain Lion (formatting a drive erases all data on it)
2: Download to Snow Leopard, Carbon Copy Cloner and use it's default settings to clone your MacintoshHD partition to the external drive.
3: Reboot the machine holding the option/alt key held down, boot from the clone.
4: Use that clone of Snow Leopard to upgrade to Mountain Lion via AppStore.
5: If and when your ready, you can boot from the 10.8 clone and reverse clone or clone Snow Leopard to another drive or whatever you need.

Can i upgrade from lepoard to mountian lion

I'm still running on Lepoard and I want to upgrade to mountian Lion can I just download Mountian Lion or is there a bunch of steps that I need to go through first since I have an older OS X?
Recently I am having trouble with all cookies interfearing in my veiwing a particular web site and I'm hoping an update will clear this up.

If you have an Intel Mac, then you have an upgrade path:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

MAC MINI SERVER WITH Mountian lion....

I purchased a mac mini "server" after Mountian lion came out I did the upgrade in OS only to find out my "Server" function will not work on Mountian Lion.... what's up apple....I've been a fan for 6 computers and didn't expect this.

Restore your previous installation or purchase Server 2.0.
The "server" part of te system has been broken out into
a seperate add-on application instead of being tightly integrated
as a seperate version of OSX.

Mountian Lion does not recognize Yosemite in Start up disk

Greetings All,
I recently installed Yosemite on the partition of my HD (1TB) I ran Mavericks on.
On another partition of the same HD I run Mountian Lion (I use Pro Tools 9.06 on it).
When working within Mountain Lion, I used to switch to Mavericks (and vice versa) via System Preferences / Start up disk. Now Mountain Lion apparently does not recognize Yosemite as a bootable disk: in System Preferences / Start up disk Yosemite does not appear (as Mavericks used to do).
Does anyone know what's the cause of Yosemite not being available as Start up disk in System Preferences in Mountain Lion?
Kind regards,
Gerrit

...Another thing is a language issue: what you call the "media" line I can't translate with accuracy into Dutch. I guess it is called "Naam" (Name) in the second line of the information panel in Disk Utility and this says: Volume. I'm adding a screenshot here, maybe you'll be able to make out what what is by the way subjects are ordered in it?...
Your hard disk drive is shown divided up into three partitions: Mountain Lion, Yosemite, and the Data partition, all of which are indented in the list on the left in Disk Utility. The "media" on which the partitions exist (your Western Digital hard drive device, which is not indented), is shown in the traditional configuration we've known for years (so I apologize for introducing "Logical Volume Groups" to the discussion). It's been my experience that sometimes, installation of Yosemite will take the partition arrangement you have and convert it into a Logical Volume Group which becomes much more difficult to work with, and much, much more difficult to explain.

How do you add a program to a "Space" in Lion?

I can see how to add a space in Mission Control, but how do you assign a program to a Space within Lion? It carried over my settings from Snow Leopard so there must be a way to change it or add to it. Can anyone find the hidden Space's feature?

Right click on the application icon in the dock. Select "Options" and then Choose to assign it to the particular space that you want (or to all or no spaces).
Cheers,

Excel 2011 Will Not Link to MacMail in Mountian Lion From a Hyperlinked Cell

Unlike Excel 2004, my shiny new Excel 2011 will not link to MacMail in Mountian Lion from a hyperlinked cell email address entry. When I click on the button "Launch E-mail Application" I get the message, "An error occurred trying to find or launch your email program".
When I click on the cell with the link I get the message. "Office cannot open the URL you specified. Make sure you have a web browser installed and that it is configured correctly".
Does anyone have knowledge how to fix this up? Thanx. :-)

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion.

Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Will i get ilife(iphoto,imovie etc) in OS x Mountian Lion.

In the specification of the OS x Mountian Lion, apple has not mentioned the name of ilife application in the list of applications they are going to provide so i am bit concern that will I get the ilife if I update my system with OS x mountain lion.
List of application they are going to provide are listed here
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

Yes, it will still be there doing a normal upgrade. If you decide to waste time by erasing the drive before you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you will have deleted it.
Did you Mac come with Lion preinstalled, or was it another OS?
If Lion, I believe you can actually download the Apps from the Mac App Store for free, should you ever need to, but I've never been in that situation to verify the statements I've seen to that effect. It would only be possible on that machine. See the info about iLife on About Lion Recovery: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
