All the little things [that don't work] in Mac OS 10.8!

+1 on scbrain's screen saver issue - very annoying to me, the photo screen saver is key for me. Please fix this apple.

Automater workflows that are opened using Automator Runner aren't working for me. Anyone else?

 

[matrix07]

you mean like this?

Damn it! Widgets in Lion is more useful.

I'm getting a bug by going

After logging in:
-> right click -> Change Desktop Background -> window opens

Quitting out of that location and later returning to it
-> right click -> Change Desktop Background -> System Preferences opens (indicated by dock), however the window doesn't appear. It isn't game of Where's Waldo where Preferences is buried. It's just not there. Clicking on the icon in the dock brings up the window.

Terminal shows the following error when that happens:

7/25/12 9:45:00.036 PM WindowServer[84]: CGXDeferSurfaces : Invalid source window 2035
7/25/12 9:45:02.780 PM System Preferences[1467]: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.

I have the same problem. It's driving me nuts.

Anyone else's "Time Remaining" gone missing in Mountain Lion?

Yes, that feature was dropped. I don't know why either. It seems odd to do that.

Having problems setting displays to 90 Degrees portrait mode.

I get a black screen - same for both rotated displays I run of my 8800GT card.

Already tried a fresh install and a PRAM reset - still the same behavior.

Professional users may want to hold off if you rely on multi-monitor support working correctly.

1. scan function over WiFi keeps crashing (HP B210a ePrint printer)

2. could not set up / extend a network on a new model Airport Express using v6 of the Airport Utility. I had to go back to a 10.7 machine and v5.6

Still, much prefer 10.8 over 10.7

Mail keeps throwing all of my outgoing servers offline and deleting their passwords. I have to go back into the server list and re-enter the passwords, and it will work for 5 minutes, 50 minutes, 2 hours (who can guess?), then they are all tossed back offline again. Just as bad, on my iCloud account, it won't even save a choice for outgoing server. Every time I navigate to it under the accounts section, it says, "none" as my server.

Other than that things are working well for me, but this is a big issue.

Missing:
- Power-Nap Feature

Power Nap is not implemented on all Mac`s: The MacBook Air (Mid 2011 and 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) running Mountain Lion can use Power Nap.

It isn't coming until Fall. Apple made that clear as far back as WWDC

Try closing an open widget by holding option to bring up the "x". When I do this, it has a spaz attack.. the "x" flickers like crazy and cannot be clicked.

From https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1411684/ :

So I noticed something right away while I was resizing my Finder windows back to the way I liked last night- a "List View" Finder window seems to have a "minimum size" tolerance now. I am used to having my windows set to be tall and narrow, and now I can't make it as narrow as I used to.

If I hide the toolbar and hide the status bar, I can shrink the window past the tolerance, and regain the (10.7) size that I want. After doing this, then re-enabling "Show Toolbar" and "Show Status Bar", Finder appears to remember my size preference until I close the window. Re-opening the window expands it back to it's minimum size tolerance again.

For some reason, I can't edit contacts. The Edit button is gone.
Anyone else experiencing this?

QUICKSYNC (for encoding)

"High-performance H.264 encoding5
When you select a standard HD export setting, QuickTime Player takes advantage of hardware video encoding for optimal performance."

Apple, You LIE!

i was just working at the office today, with dual monitors, and sometimes i was unable to drag a window from one monitor to the other, it's quite annoying

Find my Mac during Power Nap doesn't work. (Shame - as that will be a fantastically useful feature!)

I had Time Machine backing up to Windows Home Server 2011 (HP MediaSmart), in Lion. The Mountain Lion install breaks that. Anyone have any ideas, I know lion forced the connection to be AFP. Didn't know of any major changes from Lion to Mountain Lion. Help!

Yup, needs to be a more current AFP version now.
Don't ask me which one, but it's the one that introduced integrity checking of the transfer to the network storage device.
(A good change, because what's a broken backup worth? Unfortunately, many NAS and server software manufacturers are reluctant to upgrading their AFP protocol versions they implement )

Apple, You LIE!

Do you actually know what Quicksync is?
It's the hardware encoder in Sandy Bridge CPUs for lower quality speed encoding.

What you want is GPU-accelerated (regular hardware accelerated) encoding combined with software encoding in as many threads as your CPU can handle.


Quicksync and movie file encoding are two entirely different worlds!
Different usage scenarios (one is for on-the-fly conversion mainly (at least in OS X) and the other one is for quality conversion of video with FILES as output)

i can't seem to add a custom avatar to my login!

 

[T.Verhoeven]

These apps don't work:
Handbrake (starts, but hangs when it's booted)
Darwiin remote (crashes on startup)
MMFix (doesnt work anymore)

And my notification center doesnt show any notifications on new emails. I tried it with mail on, off maximized and minimized, all in vain. I have gone through all settings, but nothing seems to work.

Also my mouse freezes for a second and then skips to a different part of the screen, very annoying!

Actually, I read a long comparison of quicksync, GPU-assisted encoding, and standard pure CPU encoding, and Quicksync was competitive with CPU encoding quality-wise and waaay better than the AMD and Nvidia options.

I find mail to be even worse than itunes. That app is SOO buggy. I stopped using it awhile ago only to try it again with notification center and its still a buggy POS. Worst app Apple has ever made.
