What are the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion?

I'm looking for the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion

You cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore. Mavericks is now the current version. Got to Apple's website to see what the features of Mavericks are, then decide if upgrading is something you should do.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
      Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

  • What is the sequence for upgrading from 10.4.11 to lion

    What is the sequence for upgrading from 10.4.11 to lion. Can't use many apps without it. HELP

    Quicken is an example that the OP noted is important to her, too!
    Intuit makes it very difficult to find this link?!
    Everytime I want to find it to post it for someone else, I have to Google: "cnet quicken 2007 for lion" and then in top listed link: Topper Kessler's review for CNET, I find the direct link to Intuit
    This program will work with Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007 data files directly.  If you have a data file from an older version, such as I did, Quicken Deluxe 2002, you must use the PPC version of either Quicken 2006 or 2007 to update the data first; and then the data will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
    For other PPC programs that require Rosetta, I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

  • What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    You can buy from an Apple store, which has a 14 day return policy.
    You can buy on-line from Apple and get a new or refurb model (less $), and get engraving if you want it.
    Some retail stores have a more generous return (30 days?) policy.
    You can buy from an on-line Apple Authorized Reseller. I bought (with free shipping) mine from MacMall because I didn't have to pay sales tax. I paid with my American Express CC to get, for free, an additional 1 year warranty.
    Regardless of where you buy you still get the 30 day Apple Care and 1 year warranty. You can extend, for $, the Apple Care for 2 years. Or you can buy, for $, Apple Care +, which provides accidential damage repair insurance. There's also some 3rd party sources to buy the accidential insurance.
    Some retail stores and on-line stores offer a small discount or add a bonus item.
    It's your choice. Find the best deal.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT4436 what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

    what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

    probably no advantage, just Apple policy.
    I do not know are @mac users still have their e-mail addresses valid, however, @me works in parallel with @icloud and there is no difference which one you use. At least for the moment.

  • What is the price to upgrade from FCP7 to FCPX?

    Does anybody know what is the price to upgrade from FCP7 to FCPX?

    Note that FCX isn't an upgrade...it's a completely different application. Thus why you pay the full amount, although the price is less than FCP Studio.
    Because this is a new app, you cannot bring FCP 7 projects into FCX...not without a third party utility called 7toX by intelligentassistance.com

  • Upgrading from Tiger to Mountain Lion

    I have a friend asking me What are the precise steps for upgrading from Tiger to Mountain Lion for a MacBook Pro
    I have the Snow Leopard disk.

    They will need a minimum of a Core2Duo, the CoreDuo will not work, additionally they must have a 64bit EFI, machines that are compatible are ..... Macbook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    If they have PPC programs (Office 2004, Quicken etc) they will not work on Mountain Lion and will need to be replaced, might want to check if they do.

  • Upgrade from 10.8 mountain lion–Should I or shouldn't I?

    Greetings. I was ready to upgrade from 10.8 mountain lion to Yosemite but see all of the issues once upgraded that many have had. Now second guessing. Should I or shouldn't I? Is it worth it? I am a graphic designer and use for business as well as using all adobe products. I have a 27" iMac (late 2012) that is running os x 10.8.5 (12F45). Any insight very helpful. Thank you.

  • What are the Issues in Migration from oracle 8i to oracle 10g

    Hi,
    Can you let me know what are the issues that i face when i migrate from oracle 8i to oracle 10g. I will be very thankful if you give me a list of issues that you face while migrating from 8i to 10g

    In addition to Max's reply, you must be aware that you have to test your applications agains 10g database before you actually upgrade the database.
    If you use CBO, it may produce different execution plans for one query when you run it in 8i and 10g. This may affect your application performances, which you don't like to happen.
    Also you have to decide how much downtime you can afford during the migration. Can you afford some downtime and how much? If you can't than this makes the situation more complicated.
    How big is your database? You may end up only with simple export/import solution using export import utility.
    The bottom line is, whatever you decide, you must test your applications running against 10g database before you actually upgrade your database.
