10.8 GM Build out...

some time ago I read that there is a way to view youtube videos in Safari without flash player.
How can I do that in ML?? what do you recommend? flash player or the other way?

To join Youtubes HTML5 trial and view youtube videos without Flash, go to http://www.youtube.com/html5

I've got html5 from youtube activated but the videos from facebook, vimeo, yonkis, etc... appears black.

So you would have to reconfigure everything, no? Why would I want to do that?
I've never had problems with upgrades ... also Lion seems a tad bit slower than SL. Hopefully ML will change that.

Reconfiguring everything takes around 20 minutes. It's not such a big deal. Just do the system preferences one more time and customise your finder and that's it. The 3rd party app preferences you can just copy paste.

The idea of having to install CS5 master suite more than once terrifies me. Takes about 20 minutes for it to get to the options screen, let alone install!

Upgrade all the way for me, too many things like dropbox, folder links, email accounts (with 20000+ emails in them) etc to want to go through the hassle of a fresh install.

If anyone has installed this yet, is the system footprint smaller than Lion? Considering whether to put it on my MBA where space is at a premium. Thanks.

There is no intallESD.dmg in the package contents how are we supposed to do a fresh install??????

Things I noticed right away:

Airplay mirroring does weird things when connecting and disconnecting with volume so make sure your volume is adjusted after you make a switch. Note: I had to use volume keys to get volume levels to display correct.

Don't have facebook integration. I think this is another download or isn't coming just yet. A developer might be able to explain the deal with that one.

The battery time remaining option is gone, you can have icon and percent remaining but not the time. You can click on the battery to see the estimated time remaining. I know I for one will miss this option.

The version of Parallels I have will not work. I have 7 something but it's not working.

Time Machine icon is not spinning in menu bar when backup is going.

Feels faster then lion. I am not seeing much change in ram usage.

As mentioned clicking Software Update in menu bar does open the app store now.

md5?

Can someone do a md5sum "filename" on the image?

i have 802bf873b7eb5c9a4dccc1962e96fdba
is this correct?

Great news. This means it's only about one year until Mac OS 10.9 !!

time to start the OS X 10.9 rumour threads

I'm using the Safari extension YouTube5. It encodes every video in HTML5, plus a few other things like a different UI and automatically playing in 720p or 1080p. A lot of videos don't work yet with google's HTML5 trial, while every video I've tried works with this.

Just a few years ago we would have been paying $129US (About $200 here in AU) for this, so I think $20 is a small price to pay for the latest update, but I'm hoping the new iMac comes out with ML installed so I won't be paying for it anyway

a few years ago though they did actual development on os x, and their user base was much, much smaller. Today they are making much more money off this service pack and they've not done the appropriate development for the os.

That is what I have, but I was hoping on a reaction from a registered developer to give me the MD5 on the main file and the InstallESD.dmg.

Got the same one on the complete file: 802bf873b7eb5c9a4dccc1962e96fdba
And on the InstallESD.dmg: 8b4869920cd740414fe6b7e3f0b1be3e

Thanks. I'll try this. My problem is that when I use flash player and open a website with some videos the fan's rocks! and the temperature of the macbook is higher

Facebook integration beta is available below the link for Mountain Lion.
Time Machine icon spins for both my Macs.
Parallels works for me with the latest version.
As mentioned in someone else's post, OS updates are in the app store, but do not require you be signed in to update.


Also, to the gentleman with friends in the bush in Africa, was there an Apple store nearby they were hoping to pick it up from?! How were they going to get the update anyway? Drive 500 miles to the nearest dealer?

Being over the internet would most likely help them get their update sooner, rather than later - they just need to find a place with internet. Surely that would be easier than finding an Apple store lol.

Thanks. Looks like the time machine icon only spins when transfer is in progress it wasn't going when it was prepping backup but i was seeing 2+MB/s transfers.

My parallels may be out of date been awhile since I updated.

You are right about driving 500 miles . And yes, internet is the option..... when you are in a town where the internet actually works..... which is rare!

Another quick note according to gfx card status opening and running Chrome is causing a switch to discrete graphics and not switching back to integrated until chrome is quit.

That should not be news really, on windows chrome has always been the first to heavily use the graphics card to render a lot of things, which more and more browsers are doing to speed up things.

Anyway all I'm saying is, it's not surprising

It was not doing that in lion. Also it was even if I had a single blank new tab open.

For the library issue, i just created an alias. It took like 10 seconds, and works just as well as the terminal method.

Also a nice solution. Thanks.

 

[bushido]

facebook integration needs a new built, its not really that reliable

it doesnt match contacts and therefore i have every contact twice now and the birthdays also show up twice on iCal and if i turn off the FB integrations those bdays remain in iCal simply stating "birthday" and only go away after a reboot

anyone else having those iCal bday issues with FB integration?

time to start the OS X 10.9 rumour threads

whats bigger than a lion in the cats world though?

a liger or tigon?

time to think about 11 + new name patterns

Uhm, on Lion you can show your Library folder simply pressing the "Option" key while you are on the "Go" menu on your Finder.

Already been told that by some other members. Thanks anyway though.

Good question. Don't let the fanboys who voted your post down discourage you... You asked a valid question. The reason many people (such as myself) will likely be sticking with Snow Leopard is because it was an OS based on code actually optimized from earlier versions, down at the building block level.

Fanboys are not critical. If Apple releases something excellent, fanboys reply with praise. If Apple releases a piece of crap, fanboys reply with the same level of praise.

And of course YOU are the final authority on what is excellent and what is crap!
