So far, I really like it, seems much quicker on my 2011 iMac, iMessages so far are working great (compared to the beta) and i've just noticed you can now use back and forward gestures in the mac app store at long last!

What are your first impressions?

[D-an-W]

The backgrounds in PhotoBooth have never worked for me...until today

[jagr]

So far so good.
Seems smoother on my early 2011 Macbook

I like the 'show all tabs' in Safari

[dante01]

Can't get Dictation to work. Not sure I like the new combined search and address field of Safari 6.

The OS does seem speedier though.

[Kwozzii]

Can't get dictation to work here either, but on the whole I like it..

Kwozzii

[danrich1]

Why are the tabs so wide in Safari? grrr...

[Jase Winter]

Dictation was turned off for me after upgrading, maybe just a case of turning it on in preferences? It's working for me.

I really like the combined address bar/search, was one of the main reasons I used to use chrome.

I like the notifications a lot.


And also the "continued" browsing via ios6/iCloud.

[dejongj]

Oh and how my email messages etc are being dragged in whilst MacBook Air is asleep ready for business instantly when I open the lid.

Yeah, it's a shame only Mac app store apps can use the notification centre, i've got growl running still for the apps that are non MAS but would ideally like to just have the one notification solution.

[danrich1]

...and why does it open mail.app twice now?

grrr

[danrich1]

...and why has S/W update moved to App store? I hate App Store!

[Jase Winter]

Wow you're just full of hate aren't you?

[Sebastalona]

Does anyone who has / uses iWeb please confirm that the application is still fully functional? It's the only thing which is stopping me from upgrading to ML.

Roaring Apps states it functions with some issues:

iWeb - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS

Could anyone confirm please?

I have it on my mac and it opens and seems functional, I don't actually use it though so wouldn't really know if it's working right or not but yes the app launches and you can seemingly do stuff with it.

Notification Centre is really good - enjoying it a lot.

The speed browsing the system has certainly increased.

Ohhh....and downloading something from the web has a great animation - it's the small things

[addaman]

Im waiting for apple to send me my code for a free copy

I love it. Finally one location for the updates. It just doesn't make sense to go manually in various different locations.

[Spudhead]

I think its OK. Not sure why it says my name in the top right next to the time however now though?


Also, not a massive fan of the tab bars that are huge, and reduce in size the more you open. Preferred the old style of just a standard size no matter how many you had open. I can learn to love this though I guess.

Oh, but I hate the web address/search bar all in one. Hoping theres a setting or something to change that back to the old style.


Not even sure what notification centre does or how its going to enrich my life?

Preferences>Users & Groups>login options>deselect "fast User switching" or change it to "icon"

It's like Growl - it notifies you about incoming imessages, emails, ical events etc.

[NewfieDrool]

Just installing it now. Can't wait to try the new features out.

Yeah, I knew how to turn it on prior to trying it. It has to send what you dictate to Apple and you know it is active if the small mic icon appears. Still can't get it to work and I guess that there will be quite a few people trying to use it right now. I guess the extra traffic going via Apple's servers may be why it isn't working?

It did that here too, but Mail stops doing it if you quit Mail and relaunch it.

Ahh right thank you, doubt I'll be using iMessage. And I dont use the mail app or ical app either. I just log into the hotmail website.



OMG, as I was typing this message its doing my head in, words are like disappearing as Im typing them, the cursor is moving on but like half the word is going invisible. Then will suddenly appear or something like its auto spelling/typing words for me like predicted text!!! Is this a crappy new feature of ML and how do I turn it off?

[Spudhead]

In regards to my above comment, just tried typing on another forum and it was perfectly fine. However it is doing it again now on this forum, so Im guessing its a forum glitch.


Have noted though, that Safari seems a little laggy on all websites when doing quite abit of typing, like the characters dont appear straight away on the screen and take a second or so at times. Never used to happen in Lion.

Autocorrect was actually a new feature of Lion. If you download lion tweaks (supports ML too and has a seperate app on it's way )from here you can turn it off.

Does Notification Centre work with 3rd party apps like Sparrow, Spotify etc as Growl does just now?

+1

Happened to me too. Quit, reopen, sorted!

Sparrow works for sure, using it now, just depends if the developer has updated their app to include it, IIRC it's limited to app store apps only though so the likes of skype and spotify won't work with it.
