Braun macgeekgab.com @johnfbraun @macgeekgabMountain LionWho's Upgraded & Who Hasn't?Bart - I played dangerously and just upgraded all my machines - I've not yet noticed any problems (I did do two full backups before playing dangerously though)Tim - My Mac Pro cannot be updated to ML without a firmware hack (jabbawok.net/?p=47), but I have an updated video card that can handle it, 16 gigs of ram, and an SSD drive. Should Apple allow users to install ML on a Mac if the user feels they can run it?John - I upgraded on my MBP Early 2008 running Lion, all seems wellTIP...WHen installing, you can view installation log, save to disk, good to stay amused or diagnose install issuesKatie - yep running beta for weeksAllison - Wirecast Studio won't be ready till mid-August so my primary MBP can't go yet, so I used my spare MacBook for the upgradeMountain Lion Supported Models: apple.com/osx/specsDisappointmentsAngry about Airplay limitations - nothing pre mid-2011? (Allison)My friend Kevin got a hand me down mac from his son. bought new RAM last week, installed Snow Leopard at the Apple Store on Monday so he could go to Lion on Tuesday...and Lion was gone. what the heck does he do? (Allison)First app I tried to install I had to get rid of Gatekeeper (Desktop Presenter from Telestream.net)Apps that are already on your Mac when you up-grade get grand-fathered in to Gatekeeper - this probably why I've not hit any snagsApple said in the keynote that you could make exceptions - but I can't find out how on the intertubes, and all my un-signed apps are grandfathered in.Workaround - right click -> OpenDon't like VIP implementation - isn't just new messages802.11g Airport Express no longer worksSnapz Pro doesn't quite work, Ambrosia yet again has an app that doesn't quite work under new OS (coming soon though: ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x)None of my VM software (VMWare, VirtualBox) works, will need to upgrade, what did they change to kill all the VM software? It's not a matter of 'Killing' - you can't expect something so low-level to just work on a whole new OS without so much as an app update! BTW - the latest version of VirtualBox works fine according to roaringapps.com.Odd screen color bug after upgrade, had to go to Displays | Scaled then manually choose resolution to fix. In other news, there's now a "Best for built-in display" option. Big Brother is going ot make all the decisions for us now, eh? Or - they are making things easy for human beings?Crashplan was disabled, had to select and reinstall JVM, seems to be working again.No way to choose how long to snooze calendar alerts - some things I want to be reminded of in 5 mins, some in a day - why was this feature removed?Favorite FeaturesLove Safari 6Cool "Ask websites not to track me" and "prevent search engines from providing suggestions" privacy optionsWeb site and search entry field are the same, BLOW MY MINDSafari 6 killed the "Activity" section so you can't use that as a workaround to download videosPrivacy - can tell sites not to track meYou have to love the built-in security features. Gatekeeper + FileVault2 really gives a lot of protection.Yeah what's with warnings around accessing contact list, what are apps (so far I've had WeatherBug, DashBoard and SpamSieve request access) trying to do?I like the privacy controlls around the Addressbook APIsI think we are not seeing it's full potential yet, but the Twitter & Flickr integration and the sharing panes are going to become really useful as more and more apps start to use these APIsSimiarly - I think Notification Centre has great potential, but ATM, most of my apps are still writting to Growl.New version of mail, why?
