I'll be onto that when I get back to the hotel later :evilgrin:
-
Currently downloading.
Only 4hrs 39mins to go on Pauperband :grin:
-
All up and running.
Had to update virtual box to the latest version as it wouldnt run the old one.
-
Clean install or upgrade?
You seen there are a lot of updates to iMovie, iPhoto, Safari 6 is out etc?
-
Upgrade mate. Done all the updates too. I love BT infinity ;-)
-
I hate BT, only because they are the only decent provider in my area and they aren't putting Infinity in till at least after 2015 :fighting:
My neighbours think i'm funny as our Wifi Router's SSID is "BT are sh*t" :grin:

I had the same issue... just wouldnt download.
Theres something annoying me about the new version of Safari though. Backspace (to take you back a page) has been disabled. :sick:

Good. That used to piss me off!

It's only because I'm a sausage fingered muppet and would catch it instead, of return, just at the point i'd typed out an essay response to something and it would take me back a page :grin:

Get a free upgrade as just purchased a new MBP.
Will probably do it on the weekend - I have until the 24th Aug anyways.

Just use the 2 finger swipe :happy2:

Good thinking Carl. :-)

My broadband is currently grinding to a halt - trying to download simultaneously on my iMac and MacBook air..... !!!
-
Download on one and create a bootable USB key. Voila you can install it on both then :happy2:
How to here if you don't know how to create one.

Is this a free download Carl?
Ive got the OS X Lion 10.7.4 on my Macbook Air. Would you recommend the upgrade?
Thanks. :smiley:
-
Much obliged kind sir!

13.99 - cheap as chips and seems worth it for the new features.
-

Thanks. :smiley:
As said, £13.99 upgrade. I will be upgrading once my pauperband has downloaded it. :happy2:
-
Can I just go to the App store on the Macbook and download from there?
Also will the payment come off the £65 I have in my iTunes account?
…sorry for my noobishness :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:
-
Yes and Yes as long as you are logged in with the same account :happy2:
-
Thanks Carl, I'll do it now :happy2:
-
Up and running. Thanks guys :happy2:
-
Has anyone else tried the voice recognition.... :happy2:
-
Not long since downloaded and I've created a USB Key. Going to clean install this W/End :happy2:
-
I couldn't believe the speed at which my MBA is running on the web. :confused:
Just been through my emails and the last one I received at 21.35 was from Virgin to say that the free Double Speed upgrade was now up and running. :laugh:
To jump from 30Mb to 60Mb is just crazy fast :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jump move:
(for me anyway)

You know you can change keyboard shortcuts for any app through System Preferences...
-
^^^ BUt you cannot assign backspace. (i dont think)
-
^^^ BUt you cannot assign backspace. (i dont think)
You should be able to. Haven't installed it yet so can't be sure though.
This surely looks like the worst OS update in years though? It just looks like a handful of iOS's most annoying functions...
-
I know this tutorial is for Snow Leopard, bit does Mountain Lion (jeez these names are getting tedious) not offer the same workaround?

No because you cannot assign single keystrokes, and you cannot assign backspace. :sad1:

Ah, pretty poor then. I've never quite understood why software companies mess with shortcuts. Adobe changed loads when Photoshop CS5 came out and there seemed no logical reason for it.
-
Upgraded last night. Mainly for the advertised airplay feature which apple didnt make clear was only for 2011 onwards macbooks and mine is 2009, bit pee'd off about this, but the rest of the OS seems nice and smooth so far.
-
^^is that right? Shocking.
Mine is early 2011 so hoping this will work as its one of the main features I want from ML. Will download and check later :popcornsoda:
-
TBH i cannot get it to to function correctly anyway. It does show all of the screen on my 720P screen. :-/
-
Still waiting for my free upgrade code :(

I know its nothing major but I love the new iMessaging feature :happy2:

Will be even better when they unify your apple id with your mobile number!! Can't see any difference between the beta version so far!

Code received and now downloading. Hurry up already!

Going to install Mountain Lion this evening but thought it would be best to back up the MBP beforehand, only about 150GB left to back up/2 hours left.
-
Has made a noticeable difference to my early 2011 i7 Mac Book, start-up and shut-down are much quicker and bigger apps like Final Cut Pro X seams more responsive too.
Battery life also appears to be better :happy2:
-
Steve do you ever turn your laptop off?
Personally I leave mine on all the time. Before this update it had be on for 50 days, no system slow downs. Try doing that on a pc :-)
-
Maybe once a week I will shut it down if I am going away etc :happy2:
My iMac at work was on for 90+ days without a reboot from the start year and was only shutdown as we were moving office :laugh:
-
.
My iMac has only been Shutdown twice in the last 9 months. I just put it to Sleep when not using it.
Now that Mountain Lion has been released I have yesterday updated from Snow Leopard to Lion. I won't bother to update to Mountain Lion until the next Mac OS is released - That way there are less bugs and my Logic Pro plug-ins etc still work.
-
I personally find very few bugs, if any, in OS updates these days.
-
Upgrade mate. Done all the updates too. I love BT infinity ;-)
BT Engineer installing BT Infinity plus today in new house, can't wait, old house was 4mb (Max) and new house is 61mb down and 20mb up
Sky also installing today, got the 1TB Sky + HD for my room and normal Sky+ HD box for lounge :happy2:
-

....True about less bugs but it's surprising how many third-party developers take such a long time to catch up, especially with plug-ins for Logic Pro (Waves, for example). I tend to follow the advice of very experienced professionals who don't move up the Mac OS ladder until very late in the cycle. It depends what you use your Macs for.
I think that Lion only reached 10.4 but Snow Leopard, great is it is, reached 10.8.
Also, as I regularly move Logic song projects to and from home studio to a close friend's pro studio, our Mac OS's need to match. I'm not advising that everyone should do as I do but only that it's wise not to jump in on any dot zero version of any software. I even waited a month before updating my iPad iOS.
Reading about Mountain Lion it seems to concentrate more on how it drives consumer Apps rather than professional Apps.

Pretty awesome upload speed there :congrats:
I'm with Virgin and although I get 60Mb download speed, l only get 3Mb upload speed. :sad1:

True. Adobe would get crucified if they didn't move with OS upgrades, so I'm generally OK.

Useful to create a USB Flash drive for future use - saves having to download the 4GB again if you need to reinstall!
-
still no download code, useless buggers

Once this has been installed... does the installer remain on the computer? I need to make a boot drive so i can update by mac mini..

You're allowed to install multiple times from one purchase...
-

No, it deletes the installer once you have installed.
You will need to redownload the installer again, and cancel the installation.
Follow the instructions in this video......

Cool.. my bro had a 883 sportster custom for a while... straight pipes, was loud as feck!

Yeah mine was the water cooled v-rod VRSCB. Engine designed by Porsche, 0-60 in 3secs. Shunned by the Aircooled massive (only because they were jealous of the speed) :stupid:

....I was on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard but waited until 10.8 Mountain Lion was released before updating to Lion 10.7.4.
I shan't update to Mountain Lion until the next generation OS is released. It greatly reduces the bugs but more so with third-party software incompatibilities.
It's equivalent to not buying a new car until after its first year of release is complete and some important revisions are made.

10.7 isnt available anywhere now.
10.8.1 downloading now.

10.8.1 downloading now.
....That's bad if 10.7 is no longer available. There are plenty of professional areas where users want 10.7 but not 10.8 yet. Having said that, most of the OS updates seem to be user interface features which aren't so important anyway. 10.6 is thought very highly of.
I downloaded the 10.7 Lion installer months ago and will download the 10.8 installer soon but probably not load it until 10.9 is released.
So Mountain Lion is up to 10.8.1 already.

Yes. only upgrading so i can use the icloud features and ichat-ios device. was perfectly happy with 10.6 otherwise.
10.8 with windows8 is supposed to run ALOT faster too (i use fusion to dual boot). 10.6 with windows7 was very laggy.

....I'm lucky in that I don't have to use anything Windows or Microsoft on my Macs. Not even Word.
10.7 and 10.8 expand the TrackPad gestures nicely. I'm getting a sore index fingertip though. I have no use for Launchpad and the F3 key works better to access Mission Control. F3 did the biz in 10.6 anyway.
