I am currently using OS Lion on a mid 2011 macbook pro. I was wondering if anybody on here knew anything about OS Mountain Lion. I also wondered if it is worth updating to.
If I was using a Mac, sure, I would do it. Especially as a college student carrying a macbook everywhere... it would be nice with the notifications and cloud syncing. Its only $20, which is like 2-3 hours on a job, which is not bad
I've upgrade on of my MacBooks. So far no problems. I am holding off on upgrading my work one as there is a know compatibility problem with one of the Apps I use.
Ok cool, I think that I might do the upgrade soon then. I was just wondering if there were any bugs in it. The only bug that I could find was the airplay thing.
Just purchased it and it's downloading now. I heard that it's basically Mac OS X turned into iOS, which is great because I love the user-friendlyness of iOS in general!
My Macbook still runs on OS Leopard... oops. And I'm not going to upgrade it. A friend of mine wanted to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard the other day but somehow his Macbook completely crashed. He had to completely reinstall EVERYTHING. No way I'm going to risk that.
@timo you should always backup your files before upgrading. Anyway, I've heard that it's usually better just to do a clean install than an upgrade.
I've updated it now, it's great so far. I didn't have any problems with it. I did back up all my files before I did the update though. I did not want to lose my stuff.. When I first got my MacBook it had snow leopard on it. I had the free update for lion so then I installed it. So.. Alla in all, I think that this was a pretty decent update. I wish powernap would work on my macbook though..
Similarly, does anyone know if MacBooks purchased after 25 July are given OS X Mountain Lion automatically, as that's when it was released?
I personally like the update except for the fact that the battery life on my macbook pro is a lot shorter on Mountain Lion than on Lion.
I just bought my own MacBook Pro Today, in fact, and I'm posting from it It hasn't come with OS X Mountain Lion, but I can get a free update like tomorrow.
