Mountain Lion
« on: October 08, 2012, 01:19:04 AM »
Anyone have it?  I have a white unibody MacBook that I bought at the end of 2010, which runs Snow Leopard.  I love Snow Leopard.  I have never (touch wood) had any issues with it whatsoever, and since Lion got such terrible reviews,  I never upgraded.  But now there are an increasing number of things (apps, cloud) that I can't access without upgrading the OS.  So, fellow Mac users, any feedback on Mountain Lion?  Is it worth it? 

TIA!

My mother is a recently retired computer teacher and lover of Apple.  She just bought a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed and loves it.  I haven't taken the plunge yet, so I can't speak from personal experience.  Once I finally have my broadband installed (in two weeks...yay!), I'm going to upgrade.

How much RAM do you have?

reading about it, I would say not to, Apple doesn't officially support ML on your macbook although it will run it.

It's a RAM hog, old ML, so I probably wouldn't. Although you could time machine it, upgrade and roll back maybe?

Dunno. What do you really need from ML?

4 gigs RAM, I think.

The thing I'd really like is cloud sync with my iPad, the find my iPad service, things like that.

It *should* work, get an external HDD and do a time machine back up. Upgrade then roll back if it's causing you problems :)
