Mountain Lion

Go to last post
Igor,

Just go to the Apple in the menu bar. Click on "Software Update". Your computer will search for updates for your existing software. If there are none, it will say so. If there are some, it will say so, and if you hit "more info" it will show you what will be updated.

On the other hand, when you say you are trying to update Aperture, exactly what are you trying to do? Are you running the latest version of Aperture available prior to the Mountain Lion upgrade? (3.3.1). And are you trying to update with the update that was released the same day ML was released?

Oh... I am sorry... The updates are there... I was confused because they were listed in one line, not like in Update before :)

If you use Adobe Apps don't upgrade. My Adobe Creative Suite apps crash immediately on launch. So, far I find no solution for this. I have never had a problem with previous upgrades. My advice is to stay away from Mountain Lion.
 
...same apps recently when I first used them with Lion. It was a permissions related problem that wasn't directly related to the operating system. Your's might not be related to the new OS as well. Call Adobe: they can direct you on how to adjust them.

Good luck.
 
I'm still on OS 10.7.4 but the software updater updated many of Apple applications. iPhoto, iWork, iMovie and also installed Aperture 3.3.2
 
I'm using Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Premium and have had no problems with running any of the programs under Mountain Lion. I've only upgraded my laptop (one of the new MacBook Airs) to Mountain Lion. I'm still checking availability of all the drivers I need before upgrading my Mac Pro.

Try using Disk Utlity to Repair Permissions. If that doesn't work, try right clicking on the app and choosing get info. See how permissions are set up. If that doesn't work, pull the .plist for that app and restart the program.

Thanks for your info. I bought a new and much larger HD and installed snow leopard.

Everything runs great with Snow Leopard. I wiped clean the drive with mountain lion and will try a clean install of Mountain Lion. If that doesn't work then I am done with
Mountain Lion.
 
Just wanted to add that although it took 4 hours to download last night, it's installed on my iMac and 13" MBP and working very well. Still checking out the new features, etc but Safari definitely seems faster. Very nice upgrade experience overall.

CS5 here works as before the upgrade. Did have to install Java on first PSCS5 start, some part of the Adobe software requires it. (2010 MBA, clean install.)
 
I have upgraded three Macs to Mountain Lion, and have good experiences so far.

I upgraded an early 2008 24 inch iMac, a 2011 Mac Book Air, and a 2011 Mac Mini. All have performed well. I use Aperture for most photo work, and it is performing well.

The Mac Mini is the one with the 256MB video card. It has been upgraded to 16GB ram, and a 7200 rpm Momentus Hybrid drive. I cloned Lion onto it a few months back, then upgraded this week. I have the old drive with Lion on it, if I run into problems.

I did have to upgrade the MP Navigator EX scanner software, which initially crashed on Mountain Lion. It was on the 2008 iMac, where I went from Snow Leopard straight to Mountain Lion. Found a forum note that said on the Canon web site, you would need to download the Lion version of MP Navigator, because there isn't one listed on the Mountain Lion listing yet. The Lion version works fine on Mountain Lion.

Happy so far...

I think those who are coming directly from Snow Leopard will experience more issues than those coming from Lion. Lion made some major changes to the underpinnings of OS X. This caused all of us to update drivers and other support software, as well as getting updated versions of programs that were optimized for Lion. Those of you who didn't upgrade to Lion will now be faced with doing what the rest of us did a year ago. For those coming from Lion, if your Lion install is runing well, then the upgrade will be a snap, and will make you very happy.

Maybe that's true is some cases. I upgraded from 10.6.8 with no problems and everything is working flawlessly. There are a number of new features I'm not interested in but felt it important to get ML for the security enhancements. That there is a performance boost also is a nice surprise.
 
My main iMac is still on 10.6. There really is not much in these upgrades that's worth the risk of ruining your setup. But sooner or later I will have to do it though...
 
Why upgrade? You mean aside from improved performance, Gatekeeper, AirPlay, VIP mail, excellent dictation, documents in the cloud, messages, notifications and various bug fixes.

I'd have to ask why would anyone not upgrade. I finished three systems (2 MPB's and an iMac) and all were flawless upgrades. On my older MBP (early 2008) it feels like I got a new laptop. It clearly runs faster now then when new.

Agreed. Heck, I've paid $20 for an insignificant utility. There's a lot more in ML that is actually useful than in any utility. It felt as though Lion was kind of "unfinished". ML feels slick and streamlined. By the way, I guess that if you were still on Snow Leopard, but you had kept all your software updated to the most recent versions, then you probably would not have any issues when upgrading.

Advice though. When updating any major software, first use an external drive to create a bootable clone of your boot volume before installing. Then you have a quick way to revert if it doesn't go well.
