*** The Official OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 Thread ***

I hope they integrate Notifications more in Notification Centre. It would be nice if i can add notifications to notification centre without having to open up the app. Just write an appointment in there would be great. Or notes for example.

Is that possible?
 
Looking forward to this release, looks to be a lot more interesting than Lion was (or maybe this is what Lion should've been) but anyway, release it already! I want a new Safari and things!

I'm also looking forward to using Safari in the new OS... I've decided to make the switch from Chrome to Safari - The syncing of bookmarks and tabs is just too good to miss :D

It's brilliant. I am using it across my devices with no problems so far.

How exactly does it work? When you have OcUK up on your Safari on your mac, when you open up Safari on your iPad is OcUK immediately loaded up? Or do you have to open the tabs up through the iCloud icon?

Example

I have Safari open on my iPad 2 visting OcUK. I exit Safari and go to work. At work I open up Safari on my Macbook Air. I click 'iCloud Tabs Icon' and it appears there. I click OcUK and it opens in the same window.
 
Was there the group apps check box on Lion?

How have you got iCloud tabs working? Not working for me.

iCloud Tabs works as long as you are signed into iCloud on iDevices.

I don't think there was a group apps check box on lion.

All the other iCloud stuff works like reminders and notes. Just not iCloud Tabs. I have noticed that my iCloud is on two different email addresses though, one being @mac.com and another being @me.com but they are the same when talking to Apple servers.
 
Yeah, just tried that and when i set the account up on my iPhone with the @me.com it displays as the @mac.com one after it's set up.

EDIT - Will set my computer to @mac.com and see.

EDIT 2 - No Joy.

OS X Mountain Lion Officially Drops Support for Some Older 64-Bit Macs


With Apple having seeded the golden master build of OS X Mountain Lion to developers earlier this week, the company has locked in which Macs will support the forthcoming version of the operating system. While the machine requirements have been known for some time, the seeding of the final public release is a good time to remind users which machines will support Mountain Lion.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:

- iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
- Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)

Ars Technica has more on Apple's decision, including discussion of why Apple has dropped support for some early 64-bit Macs that do support OS X Lion.
Apple declined to tell us the reasoning behind leaving some of these models out of potential Mountain Lion upgrades, but we suspected it was related to an updated graphics architecture that was designed to improve OS X's graphics subsystem going forward. Our own Andrew Cunningham suspected the issue was related to graphics drivers, since the GPUs not supported under Mountain Lion had drivers that were written before 64-bit support was common.

Information included with the first Mountain Lion GM now corroborates the connection to 32-bit graphics drivers as the culprit. While Mountain Lion is compatible with any Mac capable of running a 64-bit kernel, the kernel no longer supports loading 32-bit kernel extensions (KEXTs).

The report notes that some of the GPUs used in early 64-bit Macs were deprecated before 64-bit KEXTs were in common usage, and thus they were never upgraded from their original 32-bit KEXTs. With the affected machines now being a number of years old, Apple apparently decided that it was not worth investing the resources to upgrade those drivers to 64-bit in order to support OS X Mountain Lion.

Macrumors
 
Pretty old news that.

Due to the OpenGL certification of the pre 2007 laptops and Macs not having OpenGL 3.X certification.

I hate that ML uses the Mac Appstore to download OS and App updates...
 
Because i hate the Appstore and never open it...now i have too. Much preferred the original way it was done through the software updater. Probably a case of not liking change.

Seems like to me they just want to get more passing trade on the Appstore.

Tried to sort out my iCloud Tabs and it's still not working. No idea why though!

Yeah definitely right about them wanting the passing trade. That's definitely the reason why it's in there in the first place. But I do think the App Store is the right way to go about things - Apps are priced well, and Apple have security in place so that Apps don't tamper with other pieces of your computer.

I do kind of wish that Apple didn't take so much money away from the developer to have it on the App store in the first place... but they've gotta make money somehow I guess...
