Incidentally, there's a weird issue with the Office update. (And I got mine via Microsoft AutoUpdate.)

The OS still thinks they're low-res only and I had to change the timestamps on the bundles before they would open in retina.

So your phone number is listed somewhere in this window? In the "reached for messages at:" and/or in the "Start new conversations from:" drop down menu? I can't get it working; iMessages sent to my phone number just stay on my phone.


Have you upgraded to iOS 6 yet on your iPhone? Make sure everything is up to date on your laptop and phone. iOS 6 will connect your phone number to your Apple ID, then a popup will show up on your laptop that asks if you want to receive messages from that number on your laptop.

Yeah, both my iPhone and iPad have been updated. A friend of mine just got the popup you referenced but he said he said it just showed up out of the blue. I guess there's nothing much I can do besides make sure everything is on the same Apple ID and wait. Annoying.

edit: I noticed in the FaceTime section of Settings, a message like "Activation failed. Turn FaceTime off and on again to retry" sat underneath the FaceTime on/off button. And after turning it on and off again it synced everything up with my Mac and iPad. Go figure.

Yes, and in fact that's the default configuration.

Check the "Start new conversations from:" dropdown in the Messages preferences.

Okay, so a co-worker wants to upgrade her personal laptop (2008 Aluminium Macbook) from Leopard to pretty much anything - her wedding photographer uses something that requires Adobe Air and it only runs on 10.6 and up.

There's no SL in the Apple store anymore, what's up with that? And it's $79 on Amazon.com

Pirating a 10.8 .dmg and once you install it, buying it from the store is by far the easiest way to get a <=10.5 Mac a legit copy of System 10.8

10.7.5 on a 2010 iMac and 2011 Mac Mini here at work, no issues so far. 10.8.2 on 2011 13" and 11" Airs at home, didn't notice anything either. Will get to test battery life tomorrow.

Don't know if you've tried yet but resetting the SMC and PRAM might be beneficial.

You can also re-intall OSX over your current installation and it will retrain all your data. Maybe that'll help. :(

I have OS X on my SSD and my user profile on another HDD in my iMac. If I were to wipe OS X and re-install it, what directories/files in my home directory (Library, Preferences, Application Support, etc) should I also get rid to ensure the most unconfigured, unmolested OS X reinstallation?

Man, battery life is way better on my 2010 MBP. Definitely back to at least Snow Leopard levels. Also, I never noticed before 10.8.2 but on ical, when I put in an event like "work 11-7pm" it just writes "work" and automatically sets the time to 11am - 7pm. That's loving awesome.

I shall duck behind that little garbage car.
If you use any Wine based software (Wineskin-based wrappers, Crossover Games, etc.), do not upgrade to 10.8.2. Something in the new video drivers messes up a bunch on OpenGL stuff and it's not allowing any of them to work properly.

I tried redownloading Lion since I'm selling my machine and wanted to create a usb boot "disc." However it didn't complete for some reason, and once I cancelled I can't figure out anyway to try to install it again. Under "purchased" it doesn't show up. I've tried holding alt/control whatever when I'm clicking on the tab and opening the App store but no dice. Any other ideas? I also can't "buy" it again since it's not listed in the store anymore.

Also can I format my machine with the disc from the previous OS X version if all else fails?

edit: nm I somehow "hid" it. I only discovered this by viewing my account.

Just transitioned back to OS X after five years away. Everything feels fantastic, as does my 13" MBA (I can't believe how affordable they've become, even before education discounts).

Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times but I couldn't seem to find it on search. Is there a mirror of the last SALR build lying around anywhere? I'm trying out Safari as my primary browser (I assume plugins like youtube5 etc are great for battery life). It's a drat sight better than it used to be.

I have an odd issue. My Time Machine drive seems to think there's two partitions on the drive so whenever I eject it it asks me if I want to eject both or not. I think this predates me installing 10.8.2 but I'm not 100% sure of that.

Theres a little "No Card" square that appears next to the credit card icons you can click on if you fail the screen a few times.

Did it the the other day but we had a itunes card to use not sure if that triggered it but it still tried to force us to input a credit card twice before the option appeared.

Anyone know a reason why a MacBook won't show the update to 10.8.2, or any other OS updates in the App store? It's a 10.8 machine, brand new out of the box. Rebooted it a few times, I was able to download other things from the App store but the update isn't showing up.

I downloaded the combo update and will install that later but I was just curious as to what would cause that.

I'm pretty sure I skipped that, since I'm not going to be the user of it. I'll have to try that and see what changes.
