Apple OS X Mountain Lion Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

I like the requirements for Mountain Lion which are very low like 2 GB RAM and * GB ROM. I feel this is saviour for low edn devices or servers.I have used it on MAC mini for almost an year and I found it super fast like every Apple OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Mountain Lion is outdated now if you have latest device. I always prefer latest verision for apple devices. But still you will get latest patches for Mountain Lion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Apple's OS X Mountain Lion gave Mac users access to a number of noteworthy features. Data syncing across devices was made simple via iCloud integration, and the Notification Center consolidated alerts from numerous apps. Easy communications across Apple devices was made possible by iMessage, and wireless screen sharing with Apple TV was made possible by AirPlay Mirroring. Dictation provided voice input, Gatekeeper improved security, and Power Nap permitted background activities while in sleep mode. A unified search field, tab syncing, and improved performance were added to Safari. Social gaming elements were introduced by Game Center. Together, these innovations enhanced user experience, productivity, and connectivity, distinguishing OS X Mountain Lion as a notable macOS update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comparing Apple's OS X Mountain Lion to more recent macOS versions, it had a number of drawbacks. It had less sophisticated security than later macOS releases and lacked Continuity features for seamless connection with iOS devices. Older gear became incompatible with newer macOS versions, and finding software that worked with them became difficult. Siri, Apple Music, and Dark Mode are examples of features that weren't present in Mountain Lion but were added in later releases. Additionally, it possessed an outdated version of Safari, only moderate GPU acceleration, and several out-of-date services like Game Center. Although Mountain Lion introduced considerable upgrades upon its release, it gradually became constrained in comparison to the developing macOS ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Mountain Lion, Sharing takes on a deeply personal touch, becoming an intuitive system-wide companion. Picture the Share button as your loyal friend, always by your side in the Finder, Safari, QuickTime, Quick Look, and soon, even in your favorite third-party apps once they catch up to the trend.

This Share button, which feels like it's everywhere (just look at it gracing Safari's toolbar), becomes your magical portal to effortlessly share the wonders of the web. Want to hold onto that captivating link you stumbled upon? Just reach for the Share button in Safari. Need to send an important document to a colleague? Your trusty Share button in Finder lets you whisk it away via email, Messages, or AirDrop. Sharing files with someone? With the Share button in your corner, it's a breeze.

But what about connecting your own devices, making them harmonize seamlessly? This is where iCloud enters your personal narrative.

One of Mountain Lion's most remarkable strides is its profound integration with iCloud, a suite of services that magically synchronizes your data across every device you own. iCloud takes the burden off your shoulders and ensures that your data is effortlessly organized across your various companions: your Mac at the office, your iPad at home, and your iPhone in your pocket. Thanks to iCloud, living with multiple devices becomes a symphony of seamless information sharing, always keeping you in sync with the latest updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many Macs that had the potential for support were left behind, leaving users with limited options. Some resourceful individuals have developed third-party solutions, with varying degrees of success, to cater to these overlooked Macs. Interestingly, these Macs find complete support when running Windows 8, courtesy of Microsoft.

When it comes to AirPlay Mirroring, it's important to note that only a select group of Macs that align with Mountain Lion's requirements can enjoy this feature. Nevertheless, there are third-party applications on the market that can replicate or mimic these capabilities on older hardware.

Power Nap, a convenient feature, unfortunately, extends its embrace to only a small number of Macs compatible with Mountain Lion.

Upon its initial release, the "Save As" function left much to be desired, causing frustration among users. Fortunately, this was addressed and rectified with the 10.8.2 update, much to the relief of many.

Similar to the Lion update, various changes in gestures, scroll direction, window resizing, and other interface tweaks have the potential to irk long-time Mac users. These alterations have elicited strong reactions, leading to the availability of third-party "fixes" aimed at restoring the previous user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used OS every day on my last work computer and loved how easy it was to sync content among my various Apple devices. You can use Notes and iMessages on your laptop, and whatever you add to these apps will also show up on your iPhone, for example. I liked using the Reminders feature for my to-do list (which I still use on my new laptop), which is great for staying organized. It's also a fairly fast OS; I've never had any issues with speed.

Airplay Mirroring is a great concept -- it allows you to display your screen on an HDTV with an Apple TV attached -- but I don't have an Apple TV and when I tried it on a friend's, I did not find it super intuitive to set up. If you do a lot of presentations and want to use this feature, that could be an issue, but there are so many other ways to share your screen that this was never an issue for my colleagues or me (we mostly use Google Hangouts now to do presentations, for example).

Multitasking and smooth user experience across different tasks, e.g. regular browsing, professional programming, and advanced use cases. Extremely secure and easily available applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for the Microsoft Ossice product suite doesn't gel well with full capabilities. This causes sometimes productivity degradation due to missing features etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple OS X Mountain Lion is a simple and intuitive operating system. Apple continues to update their OS in ways that just make sense -- to make the user experience both more efficient and more enjoyable. This update meets that description perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is little to not like about Apple OS X Mountain Lion. It works well. I suppose if there was one thing to complain about, it would be that there are still a number of popular software packages, particularly in the engineering space, that don't work with (or don't work as well with) the OS X operating system. This is no fault of Apple however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My MacBook Pro was fast already but it's fan use to get started more frequently. With the OS X it changed and reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yet to figure out :) So far it's really good. Can't complain much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally like everything related Apple OS X Mountain Lion, as a beginner OS user. I started using Macbook in the year ~2018, and this is the first OS I used; I was amazed after using this OS in the first few days only, and I got hands-on of same very quickly. Believe me, I started preferring OSx as compared to Windows OS(no offence, please).

Now I have only OS Macbooks at home. The best thing that I like about same is the SMOOTH UI experience like a fluid and airplay mirroring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have very few things to share about what I dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion, but I observed that it required at least 8GB of ram to run Mountain Lion OS smoothly, which was quite expensive at that time for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used it with my old apple device. It was really good for its time. Other operating systems should learn UX and UI from apple. It is feels natural and more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layout was good but, the icons are too old for 2023. I would prefer the newest version of Apple OS like Ventura or Monterey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
