If there's one thing Apple has taught us, it's that all cats are born as bugs.

...and you can't install it on a Mac Pro 1,1... and a few others

Re: The Mountain, Moved... July 25, 2012 06:13PM |
I was trying to download the installer on a MacPro 1,1, as I have faster Internet connection on that machine, and it just won't let me.
Funny thing about the ML upgrade, is that Adobe is recommending it as of right now, within 24 hours of its release. Given the past history of OS releases, this seems strange. Avid, on the other hand has qualified neither this version nor the last version of Lion.

Yea, the dialogue box popped up and said I can't install ML on that machine. So yea, I can't download the installer on a Mac Pro 1,1.

I was only trying to download the installer, as that 1,1 machine had wired internet access, whereas my laptop was running off wifi.
Anyway, got it installed. Mercury seems to like ML better. No kernel panics on OpenCL like in Lion. On the whole, it seems good, and ML certainly got rid of the slow menu bar loading issue in Lion. Never liked Lion. I had to install Lion because of MC6 and CS6, and I only got onto it during the .3 release, and I spent half the time configuring it to work like SL, and the other half of the time trying to fix installation issues, like patchy permissions, SUDO not working, etc...
This time, the Apple developers seemed to have put quite some thought into this release. Glad to get out of Lion. Adobe support right from Day 1! Way to go!

Strypes, have you got FCP7 on that machine? I'm 50/50 FCP7 and PPCS6 now, and I could probably easily switch entirely to PP, but I don't want to upgrade if I'm not sure how FCP7 will go, for my complicated archival clients still in the loop. Is it stable?

Re: The Mountain, Moved... July 26, 2012 08:26PM |
As a general disclaimer, wait a few weeks to install any new OS releases. Better still, wait for the .1 release.
That said, no issues on ML in my last few hours on it. There seems to be less permissions issues in ML than on Lion. No strange SUDO permissions problems, no laggy menu bar. PPro seems stable now with OpenCL. No kernel panics so far. Safari 6 is very fast. There is strange new tool Dictation and Speech to play with. It remembers all the customization you did in Lion. I'm starting to like ML already, especially after that wreck that was Lion.
FCP loads, and everything seems fine on the outset. I'll be porting yet another half hour show over to FCP from PP. Not sure if that is a measure of stability in FCP.

So there is now the new "Develop" menu in Safari that replaces the old activity window.

That's the Downloads window. The downloads window is still there. But unlike Lion, you can't option double click the video stream and have it download the video. You can download video streams in the Develop menu, but it's a little bit more complicated.

And yea, another name for Mountain Lion, is the Cougar. No prizes for guessing why Apple didn't use Cougar...

So what? You should really announce when the next iteration is out. Before that, it's just "iCrash". There is a BIG CHUNK OF APPS that are not clear to run on it:
[roaringapps.com]
No thanks...not yet for me. Guinea pigs...have at it and report back with the crash reports
When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Joey, I have upgraded to ML already. Been wanting to get the hell out of Lion.
Most of the incompatible softwares are outdated and many are obsolete. Read on that list that X11 is not compatible. I'll check on that later.
Premiere is a whole lot more stable with Mercury Playback on my 2011 MBP. However, there is one bug on the reconnection of AvcHD in PPro, where the clip will not reconnect, so yea, that's about it for now.

> Also super wide tabs. ugh. What's going on at Apple?
What's wrong with the wide tabs? You can toggle between the tabs with the same commands as in FCP 7.
If there's one feature that I wish Apple will bring back is that expose/hot corners will show you all windows. I work between apps a lot, and I used to toggle between multiple windows and apps by revealing all windows and actually seeing the contents of the windows. I can't stand Mission Control, because it doesn't do that.
Admittedly, I liked the old Safari layout, where on launch, I can quickly hit tab to enter a URL, or hit tab again to do a search. Safari 6 is slower for users in this regard.
