Okay, I have just tried downloading this on my dads iMac and it stopped at the same place as it did when trying on my MacBook at 53.25mb.

Has fullscreen been fixed yet?

Both Safari and Firefox now beat Chrome on my new (BLAZINGLY FAST OMG) retina MBP hands down - let's see what happens when the retina-fixed Chrome gets out of beta. I'd be willing to give Safari a shot, but I really really want the Opera "fast-forward" navigation feature (press space at end of page to automatically follow next page links). There are extensions that provide that functionality and more for both FF and Chrome, but I haven't found anything for Safari.
ML itself installed quickly, seems to work just fine and feels nicely snappy. I had a bit of pain with iPhoto, which refused to start at all even when directed to create a new library. I did just about every magic trick short of waving a dead goat over the keyboard and I'm not really sure what finally fixed it, but after another reboot it finally worked again.

Feels good man!
Does Mountain Lion contain proper Bootcamp Drivers? I'd like to install Windows on this Retina Macbook Pro.

What's this about Apps having to be signed for Mountain Lion or something?
I downloaded an App off the internet and my Mac pops up something about it not being signed so it can't start. Turns out you can Ctrl+Open or change in Settings, but it's a weird thing to have on by default.
Getting flashbacks of UAC.

Yeah, it does. I don't use the bookmark bar though, so fortunately that's not a problem for me.

It just completed installing...spinning rainbow ball...fuck this update.
i think that is part of the "gatekeeper" utility in mountain lion. i think it's just another added virus/spyware defense for people who don't know what they're installing onto their computer.

In case anyone was reading my posts before, I googled the problem and it turns out other people have had the exact same problem where the download stops at 53.25mb and to solve it you need to download something called hotspot shield, this has fixed the problem and it is now downloading, albeit rather slow lol

I've got a mid-2008 MBP with Snow Leopard - is it worth me upgrading? Performance-wise, at least.
I've paid no attention to ML's development, and chose to skip to Lion after I read about some changes that I wasn't particularly keen on (although I can't for the life of me remember why), so I'm not really up to speed with it. Are there currently any notable bugs or incompatibilities with popular applications?
Ta, etc.

Maybe try turning Hotspot Shield off after it passes the 53.25 mb mark?

Yes! But to make sure I don't hit any hiccups I deleted my ~/library/Dock folder or wherever it is. There's a database that holds the LP icon positions. Delete it before installing if you want to make sure. But it should be fine once you put everything back.

good to know it's just not me, I am using safari for the time being and it is indeed very fast, if Firefox doesn't fix that bug quick enough I might just switch to Safari permanently.
from my experience with ML, all of my lion apps are mountain lion compatible. you may run into problems if you are on snow leopard and making the jump now because the snow leopard to lion change broke some old applications. there's lists online for many mac applications/games, so just google the ones you are unsure of. starcraft 1/broodwar and diablo 1/2 do not work in lion/mountainlion.
i'd say it's worth upgrading, but i don't have a 2008 mbp anymore to really tell you how well it will run. it's made my newer machine faster though, so i'd say it would make a difference for you too.

From my experience performance has noticeably improved over Lion.

Runs amazing on my Mid-2010 Pro:
Definitely improved from Lion. Feels snappier and there's less animation lag on things like the dock, launchpad etc.
Great to hear, I'll probably take the plunge then.
Ah great, the general lag was my biggest issue with Lion. Very disappointing after 'upgrading' from SL.
This. Have a Mid-2010 MBP too.

but no Airplay for us which is complete bullshit, Apple trying to seriously force people to throw away 2 year old macbook pros for locked out features? I eagerly await the hack
you can already do it with airparrot on lion.
airplay has to be done over local wifi. are you wanting to do remote desktop, or just stream music/video files that are on your home computer?

Trying to install the iMovie and iPhoto ML updates from the App Store. They downloaded fine, but won't install. The app also won't let me quit because "OS updates must complete before quitting". What do?

Approaching 8 hours of waiting, and still no Up To Date code.
Join the party, we have free punch and pie...
I believe 30 days
you can download it and choose not to install it yet.
Streaming music/video files primarily, but if there's a viable option for remote desktop that would be great as well. And wifi wouldn't be an issue where I would be using this.

Dunno if mentioned but a quick way to turn off notifications is to Option+click on the Notification Center icon.
Yes the license allows you to install your copy on any Mac you 'control'
All of that stuff is built into OSX.. just browse over to your other computer in Finder (assuming they are all Macs)

Apparently it undownloads back to 53.25mb when you switch off, so I'm too scared lol, it says it's gonna take a few hours, so I'm just going to leave it.
i wouldn't recommend remote desktop for just watching videos/audio though. i don't use remote desktop software often, but i would assume it compresses the video and audio streams far more than just directly streaming an audio/video file.
i believe he means over the internet, not on the same wifi/ethernet network. can you even add other macs to finder over the internet? i wasn't aware, but that's pretty cool!
Good to know. I might look into a remote desktop option for work (a lot better working on a cinema display then a 13" screen) and forego the video/audio streaming altogether. I'll do some research into it, thanks.

Mountain Lion safari is great. I take it the iCloud tabs thing won't work until iOS 6?

It works, just not with iOS devices yet (unless you're running the beta)

I've heard bad things about it, and airplay has a feature where you can stream music only which I would love/need

Is dictation not working for anyone else?
it actually works. it's ios that doesn't support it yet. if you have two macs running the new safari, you should be able to see the other computer's open tabs.
if you are running the ios 6 beta on an ios device, you'll be able to see those tabs too.
you mean stream your itunes library to an apple tv? you can already do this.
