Thank our lord Thor that Apple updated the iTunes Artwork screensaver so you don't get black bars, it used to be annoying having to change the number shown based on screen size so you didnt get the bars but now they just overlap across the screen, much better.
Sometimes it is the small things that make it all worth while.

Well now my computer went to sleep while even plugged in...what is going on?

 

[noah111]

What are you looking for in an email app?

I must be the only one who is perfectly happy with the default Mail app. :lol

System Preferences is your friend (hint: Energy Saver settings).

.

Nah, you're not alone.

I like it and use it for gmail, my ISP mail and work MS exchange mail everyday. conversation view works well and I like the shortcut bar that's similar to the bookmarks bar in safari.

I can see why someone who needs gmail tag support would go somewhere else but I tend to just use indexed search to find things (and create smart folders if I repeat the same search a bunch of times) and don't set up a hierarchy for folders/ tags.

 

[Tuck]

I don't mind the default Mail app. Sparrow was nicer (Pretty slick UI that Apple should totally copy for pretty much everything), but Mail is pretty inoffensive. I just use Gmail's website to avoid having another app running in the background. Same with Calendar. Only so much space on my dock.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

+1 for the default mail app.

Read my post before that, I've gone through there and it isn't behaving correctly. I did disable the "put HDD to sleep" just in case that was the issue.

The default mail app is perfectly fine for what I need in an email client.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Good, I thought I was going crazy reading about these alternate Mail solutions.
I love the default Mac Mail!
It's come a long way and is very good in it's current version.

I'm still having issues with heat and constant high fan spinning on my 2011 MBA 11".

Looks like I'm not the only one:

http://www.applefansite.com/2012/07/os-x-mountain-lion-users-reporting-overheating-issues/

Battery lasts less than 1.5 hours as a result. Fuck this sucks. I hope apple issues a fix.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Has anyone with Mountain Lion had issues enabling OpenCL acceleration in Photoshop CS6? I have a 6490M, which supports it and supported it fine in Lion, but in Mountain Lion, it's always grayed out, even when I'm on the 6490M card.

Can someone that is using Safari 6 go to this website: http://www.vancitybuzz.com

...and let me know if you have a weird effect where the facebook like icon quickly scrolls across the screen. Seems to be a Safari issue.

Looks fine to me.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Fine to me too, no issues whatsoever.

 

[LCfiner]

same. no problem

 

[dalVlatko]

For those who use f.lux, do you have a problem with text flashing orange on some sites?

It's really distracting and it doesn't happen on my windows pc so it seems like its a problem with the mac version

It happens to me on every single website that has Facebook/Twitter icons. The icons scroll across, then everything's fine for about 8-10 seconds, and then it repeats the problem. To make matters worse, every time this happens, the scroll bar on the right adjusts since Safari thinks the page is resizing and it's extremely distracting.

No issues here.

Just recorded a video with Quicktime demonstrating the bug.

I get this occasionally too, including at the actual f.lux site which is kind of funny.

[The Real Abed]

Okay. I just clicked Close on a Reminder and my Notification Center is frozen. Anyone know what process it belongs to? So I can force-quit it.

 

[Reckoner]

Oh noessss. Forgot to backup some documents. What's the best app for recovery?

 

[Tabris]

I figured out what was causing the issue after confirming other people weren't getting it. It was being caused by either the Facebook Picture Zoom or the ZoomBySite extension (didn't care to test which of the 2 it was, but if you have either, try disabling)

This has never happened to me.

So I finally got mountain when installed, are they any good configuration guides on how to set things up (tweaks, config, etc) also anything including the voice dictation commands period

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Se I just need something lighter. I don't email heavily and probably would get away with just an email viewer rather than a full blown client.

Hence why I like the more aesthetically and resource pleasing Sparrow.

 

[Sye d'Burns]

Dictation defaults to a double tap of the fn key. It seems like it asks you permission to activate it at that point. If I'm remembering incorrectly, you can find it in system preferences / dictation and speech

Setup really depends on what you're looking for. Are you trying to change things back to a more snow leopard way of doing things (reverse scroll, etc?) I've seen a couple of guides for that type of thing. If you aren't, i don't really think there would be much purpose in a guide.

Hi!

I'm trying to understand how icloud works. I've seen that mail, notes... are synchronized by themselves, but I can't move archives to the cloud, How does it work with the archives?

 

[Ashhong]

Anybody experiencing weird delay with 3 finger tap and BetterTouchTools? For example, I can tap on a tab in Chrome, and if I immediately move my cursor down past the bookmarks, the computer registers the tap on the bookmark instead. Weird lag...

I haven't noticed anything like that in Safari. Three finger taps seem to be fine on the magic trackpad while using BTT. I haven't tried the trackpad on the MBP but I'd assume it to be the same since this ML upgrade was from a SL clone from the MBP.

Hmmm I even have the lag in Safari Bahhh how to fix this...

edit: I figured it out. I had 3 finger double tap set to "Look Up" as recommended by someone in this thread, and that caused delays in the single tap. The BTT developer said there is no way around this. So if any of you are using 3 finger double tap, don't. It sucks.

Thanks mate. I'll check those out. Not in the mood to run too many tweaks, but just simple stuff like setting up notification centre, etc

Also, didn't notification centre have a swipe gesture to make it appear and dissapear?

I meant the commands after you've activated Dictation. As you see at the end of my post you quoted I said "period" so I can get a full stop. But I'm british so maybe I should have said "full stop". I don't know how to get a capital letter, etc.

So I will have a look round and see what I get.

Cheers


edit* I find it weird that ML knew my Facebook login and logged me into Jabber/iChat

The gesture is two fingers in from the right of the trackpad, but you have to start from outside the trackpad.

Yes, Brits have to say full stop instead of period. Not sure about capital letter though.

Killing the dock should close it, no?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Anyone else notice that Safari seems to load images as they come on to screen? Go to any thread with large images (Skyrim Mod Thread, Dolphin Thread, etc.) and scrolling will majorly lag and jump when you hit images. Kind of annoying.

I want Safari 6.0.1 and I want it yesterday.

[mrkgoo]

I'm guessing it highlights images that are not retina and thus images that are being scaled on a retina screen.

 

[noah111]

Man, everyone needs to get Bowtie if not only for the keyboard shortcut functionality. Can anything else even provide those HUD overlays when you play/pause/skip etc? It's great for using iTunes.

I'm curious to see everyone's BTT settings as well, esp. since I feel like i've nailed mine now. Key is keeping it simple enough, not adding a bunch of unnecessary gestures that you'll never use, and at the same make the amount of gestures you do have feel like no-brainers and natural to remember.

Notes syncing between my computer and the phone is crap.

I can't get it to work and it seems to be a common problem.

Every time I've tried to turn note syncing on in my iPhone settings, it tells me that I have to make a @me.com email address to do so.

 

[Blackhead]

The notification center icon in the menubar doesn't turn blue(?) when I have unread messages. How do I turn it on?

I'm guessing it highlights images that are not retina and thus images that are being scaled on a retina screen.

Seems superfluous as everyone can already tell the non-retina images just by looking. Ironically, the alert dialogue for this tweak is a non-retina image

 

[bionic77]

Yeah that was really stupid.

I ended up making an address but I don't see myself ever using it.

I only use the most neccessary ones, but I'd like to see what everyone else is using as well

3 finger tap = middle click
3 finger swipe left = back
3 finger swipe right = forward
3 finger swipe up = next tab
3 finger swipe down = previous tab
4 finger swipe left = refresh
4 finger swipe right = new tab

I think thats it..all my gestures are for browsing basically. I'm sure there are other gestures I should be using

Whoa, it allows you to set up Safari gestures? I have been wanting a reload gesture forever. Also the ability when in Safari to make two finger swipe left/right change tabs and not go forward/back, can you do that?

I use Chrome but yes, you can set Safari gestures. I am assuming you can disable the 2 finger forward/back in Safari (or is it in System Pref?) and then have them change tabs. Actually, might not even have to disable it, BTT overrules it I think.

 

[Blackhead]

I decided to use the default Three finger drag hence, as a knock-on effect, my BTT gestures grew in number to accommodate the disabled default gestures.

NB: I haven't decided where to stick the 'lookup word' feature since the three finger double-tap causes so many problems. I'd also like to add the 'close window under cursor for use in expose' but it interferes with the close windows/tabs in regular use.

BetterTouchTool Gestures:

Three Finger Tap — Middleclick
Three Finger Double-Tap — Lookup word under cursor

Four Finger Swipe Up — 3 Finger Swipe Up
Four Finger Tap — ⌘⇧M (Menu Everywhere shortcut)
Four Finger Click — ⌘W (close tabs/windows) or Close window under cursor (works in expose)
Five Finger Click — ⌘Q (quit app)
Five Finger Swipe Left — Move right a space
Five Finger Swipe Right — Move left a space
Five Finger Swipe Down — Application Expose
Five Finger Swipe Up — Mission Control
Five Finger Tap — Application Switcher

Firefox

I have no problems with it. Since Mountain Lion changed it from double to single, I turned it off in System Preferences and switched it back to double via BTT. Works perfectly.

Causes a delay for 3 finger single tap.
