MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Apple has finally released OS X Mountain Lion! I will be upgrading today when I get home.. Do any of you Mac Users use OS X Server? I'm debating it for $20.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 well, maybe I wont bother with the Server as I will most likely turn off the rMBP when I'm not using it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I might. My 24" imac is getting a little long in the tooth though, so I might just get a new machine. Not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm definitely upgrading to ML, being that its free anyways.. even the $19.99 isn't bad compared to what it costs to upgrade Windows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattpiper Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Apple's servers seem to be pretty busy. It's been downloading much of the morning, with no progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Mine's telling me 38 minutes to 2 hours, but I just started it too. It'll run in the background. Nick, I'm running a Mini Server here at work as my desktop. I wanted the i7 processor and it was the only one that offered it. I have 1TB of HD space as well. I like that it emails me when there are important updates. Oh wait... It says 16 days now... Like I said... I'm letting it run in the back ground. Like apps on an iPhone or iPad, it seems sometimes that hitting pause and then "play" helps reinitiate it. It worked in this situation... Dylan, make sure your computer is on the list of "OK for ML". My 2006 MBP is not. My home one is. Edited July 25, 2012 by Chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It only took a couple hours max on mine.... It just fired up... I'm typing this from my tried and true work MBP. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 LOVING IT!! The updates/improvements are worth the 20 bucks and more. It just rounds out my apple family even more. It really brings A LOT of iOS into OSx. Safari is AWESOME! Loved it before and love it even more now. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Mine only took about 30 minutes and I downloaded somewhere around 10 AM. I've already found a few apps that don't work anymore, Parallels for one. But I never got much use out of that anyways so I won't bother upgrading it. Other than a few new apps in my task bar, notes and reminders, I'm not seeing much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would like Parallels, but don't feel like spending the $80 on that plus a Windows License.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is all been typed using dictation on the new Mac mountain lion. It's like using Siri on the iPhone 4S or on the iPad HD. I've actually made no changes to what's been typed out on the screen using dictation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would like Parallels, but don't feel like spending the $80 on that plus a Windows License.. I didn't at home. I only use it here at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 :explode: :explode: I have to wait up to 72 hours for an email allowing me to upgrade since I have a new rMBP, or I can pay the $20.. :explode: :explode: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 All this talk of the new OS X is making me want a new Mac. Been a few years and am trying to figure out how I will integrate a Mac into this Windows household. Currently have worked the household computer setup down to only two Vista desktops, one vista laptop, two work Win 7 laptops, an iPad and 2 iPhones. Would like to get rid of one of the vista desktops sometime this year. Don't want to introduce more complexity, but do miss the Apple design (hardware and software).

Chewy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Easy... Put Parallels on the Mac for the MS lovers. Sent from the past using special algorithms and data nodes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
