Whoa. That's a pretty bad issue list for a GM or is there a chance they'll fix it all before the general release? I guess it will be Lion-class pain all over again until we reach 10.8.4.
They're still referring to the GM as a developer preview... makes sense, as it's still pre-release, but is that a normal occurrence?
Thanks a lot
This could be a quick update after all! I'll hang back and let the servers calm down a bit though, and see if there are any big issues with the final release that no-one has experienced yet in terms of a DAW or audio interface.
Absolutely no issues here running Mountain Lion, but I did have some problems during the installation. For some reason I had to disconnect all my USB devices since the install would fail then reboot then repeat. Once I unplugged everything except for the power it went smoothly. Besides having to reinstall a couple drivers, the upgrade seems to have went well. I don't notice any performance issues when compared to Lion. I ran DP4 in a VM, so I can't comment on speed improvements there. I am really liking the new dock design and that all the software updates were moved to the App store. Also, Safari 6 is a major improvement over 5.
Nobody buys RAM from Apple unless they enjoy pissing money away. Check out OWC, or Crucial.
My install on my 2010 MB took about three hours for some reason. When the time remaining reached less than a minute, it started showing -1. It got all the way up to -1 hour 20 minutes and then I restarted. The install restarted and then went back to -1 and went all the way up to -40 and then showed that it had 20 minutes left which took about another hour. Finally it finished and I am all set.
My Google search showed that this has happened to many other people with OSX in the past.
I've had no issues with Logic or any of the plugins I use. If you want to try it out I'd recommend installing 10.8 on a second partition (and migrating prefs/apps), once you've tested it you can upgrade your main boot drive.
And upgrading their OS, potentially introducing issues, would be amazingly stupid in that environment.
As far as I know with the retina mbp ram is soldered on the mainboard. No more OWC or Crucial - the Apple way or the highway.
Safari not having the activity window is really annoying to me. Is there any possibility that someone will make a plugin or add-on that will bring the feature back? Or is there a way to download the old Safari similar to how people can download Quicktime 7 alongside QTX?
As for Japanese IME, I feel the default one is good enough. I have used Google Jpn IME for a while and turned back to the default one. (I am not a fanboy of handwriting.)
There are fairly good third party Chinese IMEs as well, but none of them is aesthetically pleased for me. That is why I really hope Apple could improve theirs.
And talking about Japanese, I really hope Apple could ask Jiyukobo to update the fantastic Hiragino Mincho font to include all Japanese, and Chinese kanji. That is THE best Mincho font and sadly I have to substitute all simplified Chinese characters to Japanese kanji so that I can use it. They have already released the Kaku GB version, why not Mincho too?
You should know by now you're not aloud to say anything bad!
True story... And again a down vote for me lol
I just don't understand why i'm having this issue, safari is extremely laggy while scrolling.
I am using a PowerBook 12'' and still wouldn't call it vintage even though it does deserve the title more than any Macbook produced in 2010.
It may be because nobody here reported that ML was "laggy" which makes your statement at the very least suspicious.
70% chance: You've made something wrong with the installation.
20% chance: You're not aware of the meaning of "laggy".
5% chance: You're simply a liar.
5% chance: ML is indeed laggy.
Oh, yeah, sure, bugs doesn't exist and I may not suffering one!
And sure, click "Install Mountain Lion" and wait for reboot may cause many thing to go wrong! Like, I may misclick the "Agree" button.
Here's a video, is not that noticeable on video, but a normal usage on my Mac shows some lag while opening and scrolling documents. It's not flowing right and I don't know why!
And I'm not an american user, and some bugs are related to that. May have to add "lag" to the list.
