Apple Seeds First Build of OS X 10.8.1 to Developers

I hope this will fix Mail.app cpu usage when I'm behind corporate proxy.

I will test next monday

aah this explains everything. Since I connected my MBA to the hotel WiFi Mail.app has become unusable because CPU usage went up to over 100%. I didn´t realize this is because of the proxy-server.

I clean installed OS X Mountain Lion and it's running like a dream.

Not experiencing any issues at all with Safari, in fact it's much snappier (sorry!:D) than it was on Lion. No GUI issues, no issues with my Integrated Intel graphics, nothing.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

Many bad reports with safari, so a clean install is needed.
 
Could be my imagination, but Mail seems to open long threads faster than before. I saw some Spotlight frameworks and IMAP and other mail frameworks updated in this beta. There was no reindexing or upgrading email inboxes though.

Train wreck?

Give me a break!

Exactly. Not to mention that whining about the FIRST beta release of an update is flat out idiotic. Obviously there's more than just one bug fix already, and over subsequent betas of .1 they can add even more bug fixes.

Sounds like you need a clean install. My first upgrade to Lion and then ML was like this. After a clean install it zips along.

I second this. I upgraded from Lion > ML and had performance issues.

I subsequently clean installed ML and things are a LOT better. Not perfect, batter life still not great, but many of the performance issues were gone.
 
re: mail issues

Yeah, although I haven't tested it myself, one of my good friends claims their company (a mixed environment with 70% Macs) has a lot of problems with Mountain Lion no longer working reliably with Mail.app and Exchange 2007. (Apparently, Exchange 2010 works much better with it, but they haven't upgraded to that version yet.)

I have experienced some graphics problems in Mac Mail. When I spoke with Apple, I was told that the Mac Mail specialist techs have been getting a lot of glitch reports on Mac Mail since ML.

I'm hoping that these will be addressed.

Again, it's not the OS, it's your Mac. But that would be too much for you to admit. Much easier to blame Apple.

Safari 6 flies on every Mac under my supervision, no crashes, no slow loading, no incompatibility. So, in other words, IT DOES WORK.

So...what's wrong with your machine?

I would have thought that was perfectly obvious. I performed an upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. On both of my machines and as per Apple's instructions.

Anything else you need help with?

Well guess what - we'd love upgrades to work perfectly, we'd love these upgrade bugs to be addressed but guess what, we live in the real world so rather than sitting around wishing and hoping that Apple will fix things we just avoid the BS and do a clean install. It happens with Windows, it happens with Linux and heck it even happens with FreeBSD so lets just face reality that upgrades suck regardless of the platform and for every bug fixed there will be a 100 new one appear in the next release relating to upgrading.

But, but how can that be when pmz has empirically PROVEN BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT that there is nothing wrong with ML and that anyone who has problems is probably an idiot or has a broken machine? God knows how a software upgrade specifically designed for a specific set of hardware can cause said hardware to malfunction but pmz somehow does.
 
Graphic login broken

Lets hope they fix the graphic login bug which hungs the GUI when using NIS as server.

But SSH to 10.8 works, only graphic login hungs.

We shouldn't have to PAY to BETA TEST for Apple.
Until the product is finalized and stable it should be free (really shouldn't even be released at all)
All these "updates" are the result of the consumers frustrations from not thoroughly testing :rolleyes:

People have been paying to beta test the Mac since 1984.
 
Hi Gene,

It's a clean ML install on a mid 2011 mini. The TB port on the mini connects to a TBD to another TBD to a Pegasus PR6. I do not have any audio devices connected other than the two TBDs. When playing any audio, after a few minutes it becomes garbled with loud electronic screeches. Changing the audio output to the internal speaker and back again will temporarily give reprieve.

I did not have this issue under Lion. Adding the latest 10.8.1 build did not correct the issue either. I've been thinking about buying some external USB speakers in the hopes it will like those better than the TBDS speakers.
