Snap... once I allowed all applications in the security settings

Since I upgraded my iMac has been restarting itself "due to a problem" (nice helpful error message) intermittently since 6am. Well fucked off. Gonna black the thing and install a fresh copy of ML tomorrow and see if that fixes it, if not then it's back off to Apple.

 

[MatthewR]

Well, since installing the software, my macbook is making weird swishing noises every now and then. any ideas?

 

[Rob R26r]

Does AirPlay work on the iMac ?

 

[jam.]

Only from mid-2011 models onwards.

Only from mid-2011 models onwards.

Thats if you want video, Audio Airplay is supported on everything.

 

[jam.]

My mistake; I meant AirPlay Mirroring

 

[Rob R26r]

Cheers for that. I thought something was wrong. I have an early 2011 iMac so that would explain it.

Does anybody know if Connect360 still works post update?

Yes it's in the Mac App Store

10.8 broke TunnelBlick for me, but there's a new beta that has fixed it already.

My god Safari is blistering. Best feature of the new OS for me.

No problems here with Sab. Running 0.7.0 Beta 8.

My Safari is nowhere near as quick as everyone is making out. Either too much p**n or my machine is too old.

 

[Sym0n]

I tried it out to see what all the hype was about, can't tell any difference between it now and on Lion. Stick to my faithful chrome, Safari comes in handy though if I want to use iCloud sync'd tabs on my iPhone or iPad from something on my iMac...that's it.

How do I stop a two finger swipe opening dashboard?

Also when I swipe left it goes back on a page in safari but when I swipe forward it changes tab!

 

[Sym0n]

Guessing you're on a trackpad, so system prefs -> trackpad. You can turn them on and off in there, no idea if you can adjust them though as I've not got a trackpad. If not google BetterTouchTool and use that.

 

[riz]

No it's on my magic mouse!!

Well it's obviously still limited by data transfer, but for me, it's much snappier. It renders pages pretty much in an instant, and it's generally just smoother and more responsive.

Safari was poo but the new one is slick as Roy says. Still unsure whether I prefer chrome, doing a safari trial ATM.

 

[sbridgey]

Any ideas why my macbook is making "whoosh" sounds every so often since upgrading to mountain lion?

 

[Sym0n]

Tried looking in system preferences to see what sounds are assigned to what action? Isn't 'Whoosh' the default for when an email is sent and possibly iMessage? I have most of them turned off so can't remember.

Late to the party, but I've just installed this today.

I can't believe how 3 year old hardware is still this fast! It runs flawlessly on my 2009 MBP.

An answer in itself to the standard 'Why is it so expensive, when my Dell was 1/3 of the price and is fine?' question from the Apple haters.

Sorted BTT is awesome btw

 

[ukaskew]

Finally got the update this morning, 45 mins from start of download to completed installation, impressive stuff, Safari is definitely quicker (2011 Mac Mini 2.5ghz).

One thing that could have been great, but isn't quite, is the Airplay functionality. Great if you have a MBA/MBP, but for those with desktops the lack of Bluetooth control on the ATV kind of makes it redundant for most things.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Cant say I notice much of a difference with Safari. But then I do run SSDs on my MBP and iMac so they're pretty snappy already!

What size SSD do you have in your MacBook Pro, I'm considering one for mine.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

128GB

I'd definitely recommend one. I went with 256GB.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Well the reason I went with a small 128GB is I have a 500GB HDD drive too.

So programs and some other stuff go on the SSD
Music, videos, photos etc go on the HDD.

As for CDs......who uses those these days?!

 

[Christopher]

Finally downloading this today.

+1, cant seem to find the problem either

I have noticed mine does this when iChat is open.

 

[Munson]

A quick Google suggests it could be iMessage?
