Hi All Some interesting things mentioned today for ML,... <http://www.macworld.com/article/165496/2012/02/ten_exciting_system_changes_in_mountain_lion.html>
I quite like the Multi-disk Backup feature for Time Machine. An overdue feature I think! People can now run two Time Machine backups easily and keep one offsite. So that will be good for the "non backup, easy backups" types. At least their data should be safer then no backup,..or one backup ;)) One feature I'm not too sure about yet is "One stop Software Updating". Sure, I can see this being quite good in general. The thing that bothers me with it is from a consulting point of view. I know I've mentioned it before, but will mention it again. If I'm doing a setup for a client (or a new client), I would normally do all the upgrades for them. (as I have them on a support Hard Drive I use). That way the machine is all done, ready to go, for them to start using it. Even now with Lion and some of the software I can't upgrade it, as Mac App Store requires logging in with AppleID to do the update. So I can do most the other software updates, I just cant install the update for iPhoto (9.2.1). If I try installing it from my downloaded Disk Image of it, it tells me I need to download it from the Mac App Store. But as I don't have the clients AppleID (which I don't really want their AppleID and password for obvious reasons), then I can't update it. So to me this seems like a bit more of an hassle. Normally I'd do these sorts of things as goodwill, overnight to keep the costing down for clients. Now if I can't do any of the updates offsite on a clients machine, I have to allow more time onsite to do all the updates. Or leave it to the client to do. (or maybe I'm missing something else,...lol) Maybe Apple are trying to phase me out,..... Again, maybe it will work slightly different,..heres's hoping! :) I guess we won't know til the Mountain Lions out in the wild,... :) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
