Apple releases osX Mountain Lion

[Tom Hendricks]

Downloaded and installed OSX Mountain Lion today. I waited till the afternoon to do it, as not to get bogged down with the masses trying this morning.

Everything seams great as of right now, only little hiccup is the new Safari keeps crashing.

Anyone else get it today and had any problems or thoughts on it?

I have it. It seems to be working well so far.

Probably my favorite feature is the ability to use multiple volumes for backup (Time Machine) simultaneously.

Still sticking with Snow Leopard for now, mainly due to whole PowerPC support being absent in Lion (though I have found an easy workaround).

My software still works so I see no point in upgrading.

I haven't decided if/when I am going to upgrade. I'm pretty happy with Snow Leopard. I skipped the Lion upgrade due to mixed feedback. I'm hearing much better things about Mountain Lion, but there just isn't a compelling need for me to upgrade just yet.

What a difference 24 hours makes.

My iTunes began going batshit crazy shortly after the post above I made yesterday (made another thread about it) and after a day of frustration I bit the bullet and went to Lion. Problem solved.

Now to make sure all my legacy apps work... (I don't have many; Final Cut 6 is the only crucial one, and I've already confirmed that.)

I wonder what the next cat name will be.

Hobbes?

Ocelot.

OS X 10.9: Can Has Cheezburger

OSXI:Middle Earth, the one OS to rule them all.

I'm going to wait a bit before upgrading. In my experience, it takes one or two patches before I can rely on OS X to be reliable enough for me to use properly.

Possibly that's because I do a lot of building stuff from source which with a lot of my legacy code causes the memory to get filled up a lot but I find upgrading on day one to be the ticket to Crashsville.

Any iMovie HD holdouts that can confirm it works in Mountain Lion?

Safari 6.0 question sparked by this very forum:
I typically navigate to a particular forum, then click the thread I want. I then would swipe or hit back, and on Safari 5.0.6 the forum page would reload and the red envelope icon would now appear blue to show that I've read the latest post in that thread.

In 6.0 the page still seems to reload, but the envelope remains red unless I then hit the reload button (or command-r) On very active threads if the envelope was red when I went back, I'd instantly know that someone has added to the thread while I was reading it. Now I won't know unless I do a manual reload? Anyone else notice this or have any suggestions?
