Think about it for a second.  Some Macs come with SSDs, so obviously the OS runs on them...

  • How well will Mountain Lion run on the following MacBook Pro?

    Thinking about biting the bullet and upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. My specs are as follows:
    MacBook Pro 15"
    (Late 2008 model MacBookPro5,1)
    Intel core 2 duo 2.53Ghz
    8GB RAM
    1TB HD with 390GB free
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    So, how well will Mountain Lion run on this configuration? Currently I'm finding my computer annoyingly slow, so am wondering whether an upgrade was worth trying or not?
    Any advice would be most appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Joe.

    Sorry, I should have been clearer - that's what I was thinking, which is why I was asking the question. I thought that if I was going to all the effort of a reformat etc that I should just upgrade to Mountain Lion while I was at it, but didn't want to do that if it was going to run really slowly anyway and then have to go through it all again to go back to Snow Leopard.

    .... Mountain Lion should run fine on that machine.
    So, have you had any personal experience of Mountain Lion running fine on this MacBook Pro? I know that officially it will run, but I'm wondering about the "real life" experience of it running on this model.
    Anyone out there able to share their expeience?

    Hello
    How about Rosetta?
    I have used 2 sophisticated specialist medical software applications since 1987, my whole practice is there, but I cannot use Lion as Lion rejects Rosetta. How about Mountain Lion?
    Thanks, Fran
    As above. I don't believe you will ever see Rosetta again. They began phasing PPC programs out seven years ago and Rosetta in Snow Leopard was pretty much a last chance courtesy for people to finish updating their programs to Intel ones. I keep a seperate Snow Leopard partition in case I run into something I have not yet converted over. Snow Leopard will be best for you until the makers of the specialist software you use update their software.

  • Will Mountain Lion run on my mac mini running lion server?

    I like the new features of Mountain Lion and I am not utilizing the "server" functions of lion.  Will the new os effect the mini's operation?

    Which Mini exactly, some cannot use 10.8?
    10.7 was far more steps backwards than forwards, ML/10.8 has a few step forwards from 10.7 & a few backwrds...
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
              •          MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
              •          iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
              •          XServe – early 2009 models and newer
    Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
    Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
              •          Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
              •          Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
              •          MacBook models released prior to 2008
              •          Mac Mini released prior to 2007
              •          iMac models released prior to 2007
              •          Original MacBook Air
    This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.

  • Sata 2 solid state drive

    dv6 1030us - will this motherboard support a sata2 solid state drive as the primary drive?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Yes, it will. You can use SATA III because all backward compatible. I believe dv6 3xxx machines use SATA II. You can check yourself using a program called PCWizard 2012.

  • Currently running Snow Leopard with iWeb will Mountain Lion support it?

    Currently running Snow Leopard but wish to upgrade to Mountain Lian to support new iphone etc. Only problem being that I've just set up a small online page using iweb through an ftp server. will Mountain Lion support any changes that I make to my pages and can it then publish trhough the outside server?

    iWeb is supported in Mountain Lion. That said you need not upgrade to ML to support new iPhone 5. What OS are you using? All you need is iTunes 11.

  • Will mountain lion see a wii on a home network

    will mountain lion see a wii on a home network

    make sure you have your automounter running. Do this in a terminal to make sure:
    ps aux|grep -i automount
    If it is not running, you may have turned it off using some utility (bad idea). It's controlled by the NFS startup item and should be enabled so the OSX API can listen for traffic on port 548, which is the Apple Fileshare Protocol port of register.
    if this is confusing, I can give more detail when I arrive at my home.

  • How will mountain lion affect my office for mac 201111

    How will mountain Lion affect my office for Mac 2011

    I have been using Office for Mac 2011 for almost a year now and the issue started immediately after doing the upgrade.
    When I start Outlook I can see that it takes 1 minute plus to set up the identity.
    When it finally runs it is very slow and no fun to use. It seems that Outlook is using very few resources when I look at the activity monitor.
    Overall it seems that my IMac has become slower than before upgrading to 10.8.
    I do not have support with MSFT anymore and I do hope that somebody does report this issue to MSFT.
    To me it seems to be very clear a result of the upgrade.
    Hope that helps.

  • Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo   Processor Speed:     2.66 GHz

    Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a 2.66 gHz.
    Really do not want to load it and find there are issues.
    Oh I really not a big tech guy I just want everything to work well.
    And I'm just about to purchase a Mac Book Pro as well.
    Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated
    Cheers

    I also have a 4 year old iMac 24". it is the 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo. I have been running Mountain Lion since it was released, and before that Lion. Runs great. Over the last month I have noticed some slow data transfers from a USB harddrive. But not enough to do any research. I use a USB harddrive for my Time Machine backup and notice no problems or slow transfers while the Time Machine backup runs. My iTunes has its nedia files on a USB harddrive and is used to watch videos, play music and share photos on the AppleTV. I also use Aperture on the iMac to store and manage 20,000 photos.
    I have 6 GB of ram, 4GB and 2GB memory sticks. I know it is best to have identical ram sticks but my iMac model cannot run 8GB of ram and I feel 6GB is better than 4GB.
    Mountain Lion is a great OS and I am glad I upgraded. It works great with the AppleTV (no airplay but iTunes on the iMac serves up all our music, photos and videos), iPhone, and iPod Touch. Also with my wifes brand new Macbook Pro. All the devices including the iMac can share data on iCloud.

  • HT1338 Im thinking of getting Logic Pro X but will Mountain Lion work ?

    Hi There,
    How's it going?
    Will Mountain Lion Work on my MacBookPro 15"  Nov. 2006 ya 7 years old now. works great but lacking the power of a new Mac.
    Im running 10.7.5 now Lion
    The Processor is a 2.33 GHZ
    and I have 2 GB of Memory
    750 GB WD Hard Drive
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    so thats 64 bit ...right?
    Thanks Apple fans.
    Bryski

    Your MacBook is 64-bit, but it's not compatible with OS X Mountain Lion which requires a Mid/Late 2007 or newer MacBook Pro. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    Logic Pro X needs OS X 10.8.4 or newer, so you can't install Logic Pro X in your MacBook. You can find all the requirements for Logic Pro in this website > https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/
