os x OS X Mountain Lion Discussion

[Lunfai]

Did they fix the Mission Control with multiple monitors itch? I hate how it manages it in Lion.

[SteveMackinnon]

Oohh! I didn't realise it was fixed. I'm on DP2 still I think?

I will have to upgrade, is it a complete reinstall?

[protocol7]

You can install it over DP2 if you like. Should be fine.

Ever since Windows XP all you had to do was drag the fonts into the Font folder.

And you're able to do the same in OS X. Always have been.

[AltecXP]

And you're able to do the same in OS X. Always have been.

What's your point?

He was saying that it was new in Win7 when it's been available for 11 years now. Your post just sounds like flame bate.

Apple Issues Update to OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3

Apple issued a software update for OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3 this evening. Apple released Developer Preview 3 to developers. The update brings the build number of Mountain Lion up to 12A193i (from 12A178q).

If you already have Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3 installed, choose Software Update from the Apple menu to download the update from the Mac App Store. Download Xcode 4.4 Developer Preview 4 from the Mac Dev Center to continue building apps for Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3 Update.

One change noted by 9to5Mac is the addition of a "Do Not Disturb" setting to Mountain Lion's Notifications Center:

Finally: A "Group windows by application" checkbox (like 10.5 Expos?)

Checked:

Unchecked:

Incremental volume changes are back.

Dock progress bar.

Looks like a cool update.

[Matthew S.]

I'm probably gonna partition my late 2011 mbp tonight and install this.

[Aaron Olive]

New Notification Center options.

I think they need to move that switch to the bottom, where the settings icon is.

[protocol7]

The graphical glitches I had still remain. Roll on DP4...

Are any of you guys having trouble installing Xcode 4.4 Developer Preview 4? I get a Check Sum Error message each and every time that I try to open it up after downloading it successfully. I am Banned from the Apple Developer Forums but NOT the Program itself (Due to some Bad Behavior in the Apple Developer Forums), or else i would be asking this question there instead of here.

Can anyone with Mountain Lion check if it is able to search Windows File Shares? aka Samba shares not AFP ones.

On Lion you are unable to use the finders Search system for searching for any file on a Windows File Share. But it works fine on AFP ones. This isn't a bug but an intended change by Apple. I'm curious to know if they've altered this in Mountain Lion or not.

Thanks

Is it true that the Finder's Dock icon finally shows a progress bar during copy/move operations too?

[.Neo]

I think they need to move that switch to the bottom, where the settings icon is.

Agreed, it looks kinda awkward at the top? Way too prominent? :/

[Neowinian]

Really cannot wait for this to come out. Going to buy the new macbook pro and imac this year woop! :)

[Depicus]

For me as well. Airplay is hit and miss as well

[Elliott]

I'm really, really tempted to install this on my MacBook Air. That Snow Leopard-style Expos? checkbox makes it worth the upgrade alone :laugh:. Anybody (that's not running it on a Hackintosh :p) noticing any weird behavior, or is it pretty stable?

[shifts]

How are people finding the speed compared to Lion. SL always felt like it had a bit more zip than Lion

[PyX]

I don?t know if it?s the installation of Mountain Lion that screwed it up, but I couldn?t use Boot Camp after that. Parallels was working fine, but using Boot Camp would end up with a black screen.

I guess I?ll install the final version and stay tuned with the changes instead. I don?t want to install Windows 7 a third time, it?s already painful enough just to do the updates once it?s installed.

[AltecXP]

With this update ML is now usable for me, and not bad at all.

Are you planning on running it as your main OS?

[AltecXP]

Untill something shows that tell me not to

[Matthew S.]

Does this overwrite the Lion recovery partition?
