Upgrade to Mountain Lion/Upgrade Mac Book?

I know it's only $20 bucks and not too concerned about Air Play, but any advice on upgrading a Mac Book (2008) to ML or should I consider waiting to upgrade Mac Book Pro? I don't want to upgrade if I'm just going to end up with a shiny new wall paper back ground. Thanks

No. The newest OS that Mac can be upgraded to is Lion 10.7.5.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow?

    Hello
    After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow
    It was starting in 10 seconds and shuting dow in 5 seconds and now it's taking more than one minute to start it or shut down it and everything is slow
    why????????/
    Thanks

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • HT3728 After upgrading to mountain lion, my Mac no longer sees the Time Capsule.  What am I doing wrong?

    After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my Mac cannot access the data disk on the Time Capsule.  Who else is having this problem and have you been able to solve it?

       I use Grapher 2D 3D on my early 2006 iMac, but I tried it on my wife's Macbook Pro with Lion then Mountain Lion : no problem with Grapher 2.1  3D gcx files, Grapher 2.3 loves them !
       You can try the 3D Grapher 2.1 files from the website  http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/  and see the result on your Mac Mountain Lion.
       I updated Grapher documentation and bugs of this website on 15th december 2012 (Lion, then Mountain Lion).
      Au revoir,

    i have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
    Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
    Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
    Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

  • All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

    All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Upgrade to mountain lion from Mac OS 10.5.8

    I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to mountain lion. Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard first, and if so do I need to purchase it at a mac store?

    You need at least Snow Leopard V10.6.8.  I suspect you can go from Leopard 10.5.8 to Lion, but I'm not sure.  If you can, you can buy Lion in the Mac App Store (if that's available to you under 10.5.8; maybe it's not).
    Anyway, you can go from any version of Lion to Mountain Lion.  You can also go from Snow Leopard, but it must be at least 10.6.8.

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

  • Upgrade to mountain lion on mac pro

    I have a Mac Pro, serial number CK******XZS. When I try to find out the production date on
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    I am only told that it is a Mac Pro, but no manufacturing date.
    When I try to install Mountain Lion, I am told the the computer is not compatible
    with Mountain Lion.
    Can anybody tell me the reason? And are there any chances I will be able to upgrade later?
    <Edited By Host>

    never post serial number. allyou need is system profile and where it says "MacProX,1"
    1=2006, 5=2010 and only 3,1 (2008) have 64-bit kernel support / 64-bit EFI needed to support ML on Mac Pro.

  • Problems upgrading to mountain lion on mac mini 2,1

    Hi, I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Mini2,1  with 1.83Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and recently upgraded to 2GB of RAM and a HD with 50GB space.  However, when I try to purchase Mountain Lion on the App Store, it states it is not compatible with this computer. Does anyone know why this would happen, as I thought the software and memory space would be sufficent for Mountain Lion?  Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated - thanks!

    Good work on your part!

  • OSX Mountain Lion on Mac Book Pro 13"

    So, I've read through some forums and they say that upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion onto a Mac Book Pro would drain the battery of it.
    I wanted to ungrade my new mid 2012 Mac Book Pro (13 inch, 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7), but I'm afraid it will damage my notebook. Like I dk, the notebook would get too hot or something. So, I was wondering whether upgrading the Mac Book to OSX Mountain Lion would be a good idea or not?
    Thanks.

    Nonsense.

  • Mountain Lion OSX Mac Book Continues to CRASH?

    After Upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion, my Macbook Pro continues to crash over and over.  The only common denominator that I see is this occurs with safari and facebook when looking thru pictures or if the browser is left open with facebook open.  I can walk away and come back and the Macbook has rebooted with a panic crash.  This is consistantly happening.

    Ok, after some considerable troubleshooting and the various suggestions, i have narrowed the issue to (but not exclusively) to:
    * Mt Lion
    * Safari
    * Facebook (looking thru pictures)
    With all these variables with my Macbook Pro, and can reproduce crashes at will.  With Mt. Lion, Firefox, and Facebook (looking thru pictures) does not crash the Mac Book.  So for now I am simply using Firefox to avoid crashes. 
    I is just darn shame that there wasn't more QA Testing for Mt Lion and all of the versions of hardware and "Apple" software to prevent these issues.  From what I have seen on this forum, the problem is widespread and the solutions are not consistant.  So does Apple really know what is going on.  With everyone sending crash reports to Apple, you would think they would have a root cause discovered and fixed by now.
    Oh well...

  • Downloading Mountain Lion on Mac Book Pro with max RAM and after 20 hours only 1.50Gb downloaded of 4.37GB. What gives?

    I have a MAC Book Pro with maximum RAM added and tried to download Mountain Lion and after 20 hours only 1.50GB downloaded of 4.37GB. Very slow and set my machine not to sleep overnight or anything. Should I give up and stick with my snow leopard?

    I think that since Apple just released the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Update and iOS 6, their download servers are being somewhat overloaded.  It may pay to try again in a day or two after things calm down a little.  It also depends on where you live and how fast your ISP download speeds are.
    Hope this helps
