Mountain Lion - OS X.8

[The Boosh!]

That air play thing for mac looks good. Might have to buy an apple tv now.

 

[DannyR]

Can't you do AirPlay using iTunes on any PC/Mac?

 

[beatjunkie]

Has anyone got a brief idea when this will be released in july? airplay thing is what i am after!

 

[Tom]

Its not supported on all hardware. You'd need to check your mac is powerful enough.

It's rumoured that Apple have banned staff from having a holiday from 21st july onwards - so that's a likely ROUGH launch date I think

Where am i going to find that out? says on the site all alloy macs?

 

[Ben]

Tomorrow?

 

[Cup_Phil]

Yup!!

“We’re thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’ve also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow and will be launching iOS 6 this Fall. We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we’ve got in the pipeline.”

 

[Ben]

Excellent, will make a backup disc after I've downloaded it

It was all going so well..

This autumn, OS X will be even more Facebook friendly. With built-in Facebook support, you can share what you’re up to straight from the app you’re in. Post photos or links. Add comments and locations. Just sign in once, and you’re all set up. OS X adds your Facebook friends and their profile photos to Contacts so you can find them fast. When friends update their information on Facebook, it’s automatically updated on your Mac. Your Facebook notifications show up in Notification Center, and you can update your status from there too.

Not sure I'll tell the iMac I have FB ... there's enough notifications on my phone already.

 

[Tom]

I don't think the FB support is in the first release.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Oh that's a shame.

So, this is out any day (or minute?!) now, right ?

 

[Tom]

Usually between 2pm-6pm

 

[lewisredfern001]

very much looking forward to this, i dont think i will want facebook updating things for me tho, contact wise. I had it all sync with my iphone last week and i had loads of different people numbers etc in my phone book that i didnt want. I like my phone/MBP to be as i want, ive got some right jeremy kyle contestant types on my facebook purely for the LOL's. i dont wanna know where they live!!

First app I installed was the iMessage beta. So good and convenient when I'm sat at the PC being harrassed by retards over iMessage, I'm interested to see what changes have been made - if any - on the GM release.

This could possibly be a kick in the nuts for Mountain Lion though - http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/07/25/mac-malware-crisis-on-mountain-lion-eve/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=duckblog&utm_campaign=naked%2Bsecurity

I wonder if I can blag Apple to give me an upgrade code, as i'm having the drive down to Bristol another two times to re-fix my imac.

I suppose if you don't ask, you don't get!

 

[Sym0n]

When did you buy it?

 

[Ben]

Can't download it, giving me error 100 and to try again later. FML

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

When did you buy it?

Well outside the upgrade time. December I think.

 

[Tom]

Same, so theres an issue with the store.

 

[Cup_Phil]

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Oh noez.

The Apples are broken.

:dapprove:

 

[Tom]

Someone give me a shout when its working. Thanks.

 

[Ben]

Still no luck for me. Never mind.

 

[Christopher]

CBA. I'll do it tomorrow.

 

[jam.]

balls. I'm sure they've changed the models it's compatible with.

ah well.

 

[Chapppers11]

Sounds like this is going well guys..

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Who'da thought Apple upgrades would have been so popular !

 

[Sym0n]

I'll complete the right to update tonight and then set it going in the morning when hopefully all the retards have stopped rushing to get it.

 

[Chapppers11]

My brother says it's downloading for him.

 

[Tom]

Working for me now. Add the massive ilife update and its about 6gb.

 

[Ben]

Someone give me a shout when its working. Thanks.

Mines working now. Apparently 1 hour 30 minutes remaining on the download though!

 

[Chapppers11]

FML, me and my brother both downloading that will cause at least 2 days of p**s-poor internet speeds..

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Oh man.... Netflix or a new cat.................

 

[Tom]

Oh man.... Netflix or a new cat.................

Both. LOL.

7mb ftl 1hr 20min.

Probably be quicker if i stopped watching netflix.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I'm going to set the lion off shortly when I go out, and hope (well it's her problem not mine) it's done before t'woman gets home haha !

 

[.Simon]

FFS, got to wait for my code so I can download it for free.

Taking ages, whilst the person next to me requested his code and got it straight away!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]
