os x OS X Mountain Lion Discussion

AppleCare workers said it's the same build number.

I just checked the Dev Center and the page is updated and yes it's the same build, good to know

Slightly off-topic, and I don't know if it's mentioned yet, but Safari for Windows seems to be discontinued? http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ "Hmm, the page you?re looking for can?t be found."

I would wait until the dust settles before making a rash comment like that :p I doubt they would discontinue it (although I don't think it has a lot of users...)

edit: this link still works fine to download a version that was updated in May http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531

Does your Mac have a Microphone built in? Most Mac Mini's don't.

Didn't try it in DP4 but it works great in the GM.

MacBook Air, it has a mic right? Lol.

It looks like the http://www.apple.com/osx/ is not updated fully yet too, as it still says coming in July.

edit: sorry that old (coming in july) text was only in my browser cache.

Might be cached for you, it says available on the Mac App Store for me

Well, they haven't been adding any major new features to it for a while. Extensions were the only one to be fair.

Up-To-Date page is already down. :pinch:

I think it was already down on yesterday.

I think it was already down on yesterday.

I was in the middle of filling my personal information when it went down.

+Damian: Sorry then, I saw yesterday someone said that it's already down for a couple of days.

Just orderd a usb flash drive now, will install this fresh in 2 weeks time. Looks like Internet Recovery doesn't have the options to install ML fresh from there once bought, just checked it out. Is there any official guide how to burn the .app file to the pen drive? I know i can be done seen it before but not sure how I go about doing it? and how do I boot off the pen drive? this is my first time!

What's the build number for Mountain Lion Final? I take it, it's different to the GM build? (12A269)

Great! I don't have to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard or Lion to download OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store. (Y)

I'll know with complete certainty in a little bit, but the Developer Portal says 12A269 is the final.

Many Thanks

no, it's the same

[.Neo]

I think the only time we had a "GM 2" was with iOS 4 or 5? With OS X the GM was always the retail build, definitely the case starting Mac OS X Tiger.

[Elliott]

Many Thanks

Just confirmed. It's the same: 12A269 is the retail version.

Does upgrading to Mountain Lion also update the recovery partition?

Does upgrading to Mountain Lion also update the recovery partition?

I'd assume so

I'm not going to update till later tonight or tomorrow though, give the servers a chance to cool down and work faster :yes:

[+Steve B Subscriber²]

It finished updating a little bit ago. I repaired permissions after. Safari actually seems a bit slower to me. =(

If it doesn't improve over the next couple days, I'll just do a clean install and that is why I was asking if the recovery partition was updated or if I should use internet recovery. Lol

What is up with the website? I did NOT reply twice. Those two posts as I see them were typed all in the same reply.

How long does it take to get the redemption code for ML if you qualified for it?

[Elliott]

Does upgrading to Mountain Lion also update the recovery partition?

Yes, it does.

[cooky560 Veteran]

Is there anyway to delete the recovery partition so I can get the disk space back since I plan on keeping the setup files on a USB disk like I did for Lion
