I'm not at home right now so I'm not sure but if I remember right than you have to open NC and move the mouse to the top of NC. Then you should be able to disable it.
This is the DND feature. It will turn off the nc until the next day, if you don't turn it on again before.
It's pathetic how Chrome has 4 different release channels and still takes so long to patch up problems. It's also pathetic how they roll out known bugs from channel to channel.
Ok and what about the NC preferences pane in system preferences? You are at least able to disable all applications there.
Yes, when you boot from the pendrive, start up disk utility and format your hard drive and then select the install OSX option. This will perform a clean install.
I love crying fanboys. Because you list a things *you* expect in an update, doesn't mean that everybody else does.
I thought you had OSX on the pendrive already? Do you have the OSX dmg file on the Mac just now and wish to create a bootable pen drive?

I used this guide which worked perfectly:

In case you somehow haven't gotten it by now, Apple is moving to smaller, incremental updates released every year or so rather than massive updates every 3+ years.
If Apple was charging $129 for it like they did before Snow Leopard, I'd see your point. But they're not. They're charging 20 bucks. I see many single-purpose apps that cost that much or more. Just looking at the App Store front page, "Comic Life" costs $30.
Sorry, but I can't share your outrage given the pittance they are charging.
If you have an illicit copy, the your dmg IS InstallESD.dmg from somebody else's SharedSupport folder.
ML really does feel like a minor update to me... Just small enhancements here and there. Well worth $20, though.
I am having a few issues with the GM. Sometimes, when waking from sleep, my 2009 13" MBP won't connect to wi-fi immediately. If I try and click the menu bar icon, I get spinning beachball that kills the whole menubar (it's still visible, but the clock stops moving and clicks don't affect anything). I can't reboot... The only fix I've found is to do a hard, hold-down-the-power-button shutdown.
Safari seems sort of crashy too.

If just half of they are user base upgrades they will be making 1/2*50,000,000*$20In case you somehow haven't gotten it by now, Apple is moving to smaller, incremental updates released every year or so rather than massive updates every 3+ years.

That's 500 million. For tweaking a few ui ****, staying a kernel behind ios, and coming up with a notes and reminders apps, and twitter.
No one in his right mind think they deserve even 1/5 of this money.
Oh, and another thing....Ios updates (you know that other os, the one they are actually putting some work in) are free.
and btw, your arguments about the cost of apps is simply ridiculous. These prices reflect the actual no. of people that are going to be purchasing the app which is infinitisemaly smaller than the market that's going to buy os x. All the more so since most people want to get rid of the fiasco that was lion from their system.
Do you - understand - what the role of the OS is in this? This is almost certainly an kernel/driver bug which is just being highlighted by an issue with Chrome/Flash.
Regardless of what the issue is with a browser, the kernel should not be letting itself get taken down by a wayward app.
Yes I - understand - the role of the OS. Even if there is a underlying problem with OSX itself, the issue won't surface if there wasn't also an issue with Chrome causing it to begin with. The heart of the issue is still a problem with Chrome, whether that problem causes a crash of the program or a kernal panic.
This is still besides my point. They know about bugs in the Canary channel, yet they still push out the bugs to the Beta/Dev/Stable channels in subsequent updates. It's moronic.
I can see his point, though. Just because a company says it is a .x release, doesn't make it up to the "standards" or benchmark of radically new features of previous releases. I suppose maybe that's it for the folks who are saying it is a service pack, yeah? It just doesn't live up to what they personally have come to expect. I on the other hand, well, I have my opinion but it doesn't really matter. I wish that people here would stop bashing one another over things that come down to opinion.
Yup. Assuming all goes smoothly, the lights are green
Side note, glad they "fixed" Exposé by allowing ungrouping windows by application. With "TotalSpaces" bringing 10.5/6 "Spaces" to 10.7/8, this should be a solid update. Memory management is much improved.
I'm so happy I dipped into this thread and have just discovered TotalSpaces. Didn't realise how much I'd missed this and how much it's impacted my productivity. It's fantastic to have it back
And whilst I was looking also came across TotalFinder which is another great piece of software!
Thanks bedifferent and thanks BinaryAge! These should both be standard functionality in ML.
GM version seems pretty stable on my 2011 iMac and haven't had any compatibility issues other than LittleSnitch which now works after update. Not brave enough to update the MBA yet as that's where all the real work gets done...
Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.
The cost is $20. If people look at the features and decide it is worth the price (as I absolutely do), then Apple deserves all the money they get.
No one in their right mind could think otherwise, because no one is forced to buy it. That means every penny Apple gets is from people who chose, freely and voluntarily, to pay.
Also, you are utterly clueless about how business works if you think the $20 is pure profit. No, Apple will not be pocketing $500 million in profit if half the user base upgrades.
