Now that's more like it. Thanks!

thanks for all your hard work. Question now is ... whats the best way to tidy up the debris? Rather than recreate all the apps on my mac its understanding the best way to managing things like iTunes, word etc and off course all those new partitions.Yeah! MacBook3,1 (C2D late 2007), so far flawless on 10.8.4!
- iCloud ok
- iMessage ok
- NO glitches/flickering with Safari (6.0.5)
- X3100 Dual monitor ok
- AFP & Bonjour ok (Synology NAS and Epson MFP)
I had one hiccup when installing, after MLPF on Install (only <1GB applied to Install partition), did not see Install (EFI Boot) on restart. For me solutions was to once activate the original Apple OSX 10.8 Install App from within Lion, which off course failed, and after that the MLPF installation was ok (about 7GB applied to Install partition), and I could see the EFI Boot partition on reboot.
Wayne and ML4ALL, thanks so much!!!!!
Hi,
While most of the procedure ran smoothly (besides the "system does not reboot after installation"-problem) I have no audio and the transparent-dock-problem which was also known with MLPostFactor 0.2.
Thank you!)
----------
Well, I sorted out a list of things ...
1. Let's start with audio: It's been a hardware fault (at least kind of). An internal riibbon cable snapped off it's port while I disconnected my external drives for some precautious reasons. I think it was a bit loose after I disassembled my Mini for an eSata Hack (simply replacing the ATA-DVD-Drive for an ATAtoSATA expansion bay with a connected cable to the outside). I reconnected it and sound is back.
2. The transparent dock thing ... often enough said: run these two lines in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock hide-mirror -bool yes
killall Dock
and it's back.
3. Bluetooth disappeared on my iMac after the first reboot and files some crash reports (as the one from the pal some sides back). That's a simple one. Time Machine restored a newer but not compatible BlueD from my Backup. Just boot into your install partition, reapply MLPostFactor, launch Disc Utility from there, fix permissions, reboot and voila. Bluetooth back working, no more crash reports.
4. Screen Sharing. My Mac Mini provides just a black screen to all my other macs. Even the VNC from my iPad only gets black. If I move the mouse or type something on the remote machine, the Mini shows all reactions like Mouse Movement and so on. But you have to do it blind. No more ideas on that right now. A working solution is using Teamviewer. That one is working flawlessly. (BTW: Screen Sharing on my iMac with ATI X1600 works well, just the Mini and it's GMA don't).
5. (I never had these problems) iCloud, Messages and so on work on both of my machines like a dream. My way to go (for those with problems, please try it that way):
a) create a current Time Machine Backup
b) download OSX Installer 10.8.4 from the App Store
c) grab your MLPostFactor 0.3 - copy
d) plug an empty 8GB-USB-Thumbdrive into your Mac running Lion 10.7.5 or higher and create a bootable Thumbdrive using MLPostFactor
e) boot your Mac from the Thumbdrive
f) launch Disc Utility and erase the target partition
g) install 10.8.4
h) when the system will reboot, just launch MLPostFactor from the Utilities-Menu and apply the patch to your installation
i) reboot into 10.8.4, create a new user (I always call him SETUP) and finish the First-Start-Assistant (by choosing later on the request to migrate) including iCloud-Setup
j) Lauch Migration Assistant and restore your Time Machine Backup
k) reboot into your USB-Drive and reapply MLPostFactor (repairing Permissions from Disc Utility there does no harm but is recommended)
l) reboot into a fully running 10.8.4 (where you might delete the setup user)
That's it.
(and by the way, always check your cables first
