Dear Aunt TUAW: Help me find Mountain Lion posts
Dear Aunt TUAW, Hello, can you provide me with a link to access all the Mountain Lion 101 articles instead of having to bookmark each individually? Your loving nephew, Graig Dear Graig, This is probably something that should be in TUAW's site operations manual. (We don't actually have an operations manual, but we do have a guide to the site's current design.) Every story on TUAW has tags. You can find them and click them in the Tags section at the bottom of each post. Any story tag can become a link, just like this: http://tuaw.com/tag/mountainlion101 Some of the tags you'll be interested in include Our excellent "getting started" 101 series; General coverage and how-to tips; Preparing your computer for the upgrade; and News reporting Auntie hopes you'll have lots of fun reading these posts. We've all put in lots of hours writing them up, and she's sure you'll find something there to engage, inspire, and amuse. Hugs, Auntie T. #next_pages_container { width: 5px; hight: 5px; position: absolute; top: -100px; left: -100px; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }
Maniacally cuckoo for Mountain Lion: App Store checker shell script
In the spirit of Tim Cook's maniacal excitement about upcoming Apple products, I bring to you the shell script you can run repeatedly from the command line to check the App Store to see if Mountain Lion is ready for purchase. This is what I used last year to check for Lion; it worked. This year, I update the search string to "Mountain Lion" instead. As presented, it employs a 10-minute time-out, so you can run a repeat command with it. #! /bin/csh curl -silent -A "iMacAppStore/1.0.1 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6.7; en) AppleWebKit/533.20.25" 'http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMultiRoom?fcId=489264329&mt=12' | grep -i "mountain lion" > /dev/null if ($? == 0) then echo "Available" say "MOUNTAIN LION MAY BE AVAILABLE" else echo "Nada" endif sleep 600 Ready to improve the script? Have at it, campers! Update: Looks like the URL changed from last year. Updated via Mark (mcackay).
Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Performing the upgrade
Mountain Lion is almost here, arriving tomorrow on the Mac App Store. Are you ready to upgrade? First, make sure your Mac is Mountain Lion compatible. Apple offers a list of technical specifications, so you'll be able to upgrade with confidence (although Apple says 2GB of RAM is OK, we'd recommend at least 4GB). If your Mac is from 2010 or newer, you are generally in the clear. Owners of older Macs will want to check upgrade specifics. Purchase and download a copy of the installer from the Mac App Store. The installer should run about 4.5 GB more or less. We recommend that you copy the installer file to a safe place before you run it. The installer is automatically deleted as part of the install process. That's not a problem if you've got lots of bandwidth in your life and don't mind downloading copies for each machine associated with your Apple ID. It is a problem if you live in New Zealand or rural Ohio or someplace else with metered Internet and intermittent connectivity. Apple's recommendation, if you're bandwidth-limited, is to visit an Apple Store for downloading assistance; a Starbucks or internet cafe should be fine as well. As reported back in February, Apple has no published plans to deliver Mountain Lion on USB sticks. Next, make a system backup. We recommend running Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to prepare against any bad upgrade scenarios. Finally, you're ready to get started with your upgrade. Just double-click the installer. An upgrade typically takes under an hour and consists of a short install sequence followed by a reboot followed by a longer install sequence followed by another reboot. The rule is this: have patience. You may need to wait 30-50 minutes for your upgrade to finish. So go take a walk, have a snack, or do Pilates. Keep your fingers away from the Power button and let the upgrade do its thing. For many new Mac owners, the move to Mountain Lion represents your first major upgrade. To help users prepare to make the jump, Erica Sadun and Steve Sande wrote Getting Ready for Mountain Lion, an Amazon/iBooks eBook (US$4.99). It's aimed at first-time upgraders and people looking for hints and tips about smoothing the transition. They're sharing some of their tips on TUAW in a series of posts about the 10.8 upgrade.

Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Preview
Preview, the app that lets you view pictures and read PDFs in OS X, is one of Apple's unsung heroes. There's so much you can do with this app. It goes far beyond simply looking at images. It's a minimal image editor. You can crop your pictures, reorient them, and export them to new formats. It's a multi-format viewer. You can use Preview to read Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files. It's a PDF masterpiece. You can annotate PDFs, reorder pages, and add bookmarks. And that's all pre-10.8 behavior! You can do all that now, today, in Lion. Mountain Lion brings a bunch of new enhancements to Preview, taking a valuable little app and putting it on steroids. To start, you get all the standard ML built-in sharing, so you can share your images and PDFs to Messages, AirDrop, Mail, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. This greatly simplifies the path from importing and previewing images to sharing them directly with family, friends, and colleagues. Next, Preview for Mountain Lion adds in iCloud support. You'll be able to load and save images directly into the cloud for access from any of your Apple devices, mobile or desktop. But it's the PDF updates that really make the new Preview shine. Continuing to roll in Acrobat-style PDF editing, Preview will soon allow you to fill out PDF forms by auto-detecting those areas that are intended for text entry. Preview will find underlining and boxes, and will let you click and type to add your text. It also supports checkboxes. Once you've filled out your form, you should be able to to use Preview's existing signature support feature to sign your PDFs. But that's not all. Preview will let you search through notes and highlights, either by author or by content. That's a huge win for anyone who collaborates with others, and may need to find annotations in large documents on a per-person basis. Apple promises that adding inline notes will be much easier as well; "Click the area where you want to add the comment and start typing. When you're done, the text is hidden. Click to read the comment." Finally, the updated version of Preview will allow you to scan images and forms directly into existing PDF documents, so you can group pages and related material together, as you scan them. I spend a lot of time during my work-week using Preview. I can't wait to get started using these features. For many new Mac owners, your move to Mountain Lion represents your first major upgrade.

Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Messages
In this series, Erica Sadun and I have talked about many of the ways that you can prepare for the upcoming release of OS X Mountain Lion and about some of the new features that are to debut with the new OS. One of those features, Messages, has been available in beta form in Lion since February. Unfortunately, mention of the beta was quietly pulled from the Apple website in the last few weeks -- but you can still try to download and install it via direct download. Messages is designed to let you send and receive instant messages without the need for a text message account from your cellular carrier. The idea is that you should be able to send and receive texts on any device, whether it's an iPhone, iPad or Mac. While Messages is available on iOS as iMessages, the feature won't be built into OS X until next month. Messages replaces iChat on your Mac, adding the iMessage capability but keeping other IM accounts like AIM. During the beta, I've been quite happy with the app and use it daily to chat with my wife on her iPhone while she's at work. If I leave the house with my iPhone, I can continue the chat on that device. Erica and I did some tests using Messages to send photos, videos, contact info and attachments between different devices, and it's very handy for exactly that type of cross-device transfer. I love how you can see when a message has been delivered, and three dots tell you when someone's in the process of replying. The Messages beta will probably cease to operate as soon as Mountain Lion ships in a few weeks, so be sure to upgrade to Mountain Lion as soon as you can if you're hooked on Messages.

Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Dictation
Mountain Lion is about to debut one of my favorite features ever: Dictation. With built-in support for speech-to-text, OS X Mountain Lion allows you to talk instead of type in nearly every app on the system. You'll be able to access dictation using a simple keyboard shortcut, a double click on the Function (fn) key. And if your keyboard doesn't have one available, or if you prefer another choice, System Preferences allows you to customize that shortcut. Dictation will be integrated with many system features, including Contacts, so it will more accurately recognize your colleagues' names. You don't have to worry that "Victor Agreda" will transform into "Vic tore a gray dar". (Although, truth be told, I'm still struggling to make my iPhone 4S realize that "call Mike Rose's phone" isn't "call microphone", and it uses the same speech-and-contacts integration as Mountain Lion.) If you're using Mountain Lion on a Mac without a built-in microphone (like my 2009 Mac mini), you'll need to hook up one in order to use the dictation features. You can use headsets as well as stand-alone mics. Mountain Lion dictation follows the same rules as Siri. You can dictate punctuation and capitalization as you talk. For example, you can say "hello world exclamation point" and Mountain Lion will type "Hello world!" Other handy meta-items include new line, period, comma, and question mark. Dictation is smart. Say, "Twenty two dollars and 32 cents" and it's automatically transformed into "$22.32." It handles dates, too. Say, "Thursday July Fourth Seventeen Seventy Six at Three P M" and it types "Thursday, July 4, 1776 at 3 PM." You can even say "smiley" and "frowny face" to add emoticons, namely, :-) and :-(, which may or may not please you as the hyphen noses are not exactly standard. Once you start working with dictation, you'll find that it can solve a problem you didn't know you had. Unfortunately, Mountain Lion offers dictation and only dictation. You can't ask a virtual voice assistant to shoot off an email or send a message ... at least not yet! Dictation supports English (U.S., UK, and Australia), French, German, and Japanese.

Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Share sheets
One of Mountain Lion's most exciting features comes straight from iOS. If you're a mobile user, you're probably familiar with the "Share" button with its curved arrow shape. In iOS, you use this to redirect data to other apps. For example, you can tweet things, mail them, and so forth. In iOS 6, you'll be able to post them to your Facebook wall as well later this year. Now this sharing capability has come to Mountain Lion. You'll be able to send links, documents, photos, and videos with just a click without having to drag your files around the way you used to. Click on the Share button and choose how you want to send a file. The share menu automatically presents those services that make sense in the context of the app you're using. Each app is allowed to add its own services as well, so the menu you see is always application-appropriate. For example, in Safari, you'll be able to add bookmarks and save the current page to your reading list. If you're worried about authentication, don't be. Once you've signed into your standard services (these include Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, and Flickr), you can tweet, post, and upload with the sharing menu without having to worry about re-entering credentials. Mountain Lion provides system wide access to your account. For many new Mac owners, your move to Mountain Lion represents your first major upgrade.

Getting ready for Mountain Lion: Backups
Although most Mac OS X upgrades go smoothly, there's always a chance that something can go wrong. Hundreds of thousands of files are changed during an upgrade, so there's a possibility that one or more of those changes can cause your Mac to decide to not boot up properly. Without a backup, your data might be gone forever. Before you purchase Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in July and begin the process of upgrading, make sure you back up your Mac! To begin with, you'll need an external disk drive that is at least twice the capacity of the drive that's built into your Mac. USB drives are surprisingly affordable; a glance at Amazon.com today showed a number of 2 TB drives for US$120 or less. Backups don't have to be difficult, thanks to Apple's Time Machine utility. Just plug your external drive into your Mac and OS X will ask if you wish to use that drive for Time Machine backups. Answer in the affirmative, and backups begin immediately. I'm personally a fan of bootable backups, meaning that if the primary hard drive in your Mac fails, you can boot right off of the backup copy. To create these backups, I use SuperDuper! ($27.95). Every night, the app performs some file maintenance, then adds changed or new files to a full backup (SuperDuper! includes a scheduling tool for setting up backups at regular intervals). To make sure that the backup is indeed bootable, I test it once a month. Another amazing app for bootable backups is Carbon Copy Cloner (Free, but $20 recommended). To test your bootable backup, go to System Preferences and click on "Startup Disk". Click on the backup drive icon to select it, and then click the Restart button. If all is well, your Mac should boot from the backup drive. Daily backups should be part of your Mac OS X routine already, but if they aren't, then the move to Mountain Lion should provide your impetus to start backing up now. For many new Mac owners, your move to Mountain Lion represents your first major upgrade.

Getting Ready for Mountain Lion: Checking your Mac's vintage
Will your Mac actually run OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion? Depends on its vintage. If you're new to the Mac, Apple's use of "vintage" identifiers (the introduction date for a model of Mac) can be a little startling to those used to actual model numbers. For example, you might own a Mac Mini from July 2011, or a MacBook Air from October 2010. You'll see these dates when you shop for hardware and when you need to upgrade. Here's a listing from Apple's store, highlighting the release date of the laptop's model. That vintage information is used in various ways to support your unit and helps identify what features the hardware can provide, since each generation of Macs brought a certain cluster of capabilities to the table. To look up your Mac's vintage, do the following. Select About this Mac from the Apple menu, then click the More Info... button. This brings you to a system overview screen, like the one at the top of this post. Here, you'll find the name and generation of your Mac. Some users like to know the model name as well as the vintage, although this is not needed for Apple compatibility charts. To find out the exact Model Identifier in use, then click the System Report button. In the Hardware Overview screen, you'll find your exact model name (e.g. Mac mini) and identifier (Macmini3,1 for the Early 2009 minis). Once you know a model's vintage, you'll be able to use that information when checking compatibility at Apple's website. Here is a screen shot from the Mountain Lion technical specifications page, which details which models you'll be able to install OS X 10.8 on. By knowing your Mac Mini is from early 2009, for example, you'll be assured that you're good to upgrade it to Mountain Lion. Your Mac's vintage provides an essential way you can identify your unit to look up information on Apple's site or when talking to any of Apple's technical support branches.

Getting ready for Mountain Lion: Clean up your Mac
It's not too early to start thinking about getting your Mac prepared for Mountain Lion. By the way, I'm going on record as saying that Mountain Lion will be released to the public on July 18, 2012 -- if history repeats itself, Apple will hold its third-quarter financial call on July 17th and announce the availability of Mountain Lion for the next day. [Well, that didn't quite happen -- but don't be surprised if it's still the day after the earnings call, now scheduled for 7/24. –Ed.] One of the best ways to ensure a smooth transition to Mountain Lion is to make sure that you've cleaned your Mac. I'm not talking about washing and detailing your favorite Mac; instead, I mean getting rid of the junk files that accumulate from the first day that you pull a Mac out of a box and start using it. First, it's a good idea to check your current disk usage to make sure that you'll have enough storage to perform the upgrade. Select Apple menu > About This Mac and then click the More Info button. This launches the System Information app. Click the Storage tab and you'll see detailed information about what's taking up space on all attached drives: Expect Mountain Lion to take up about 8 to 10 GB of free space. If your drive is low on space, it's time to clean up. Free apps like Grand Perspective and Omni Disk Sweeper can tell you what big files are chewing up space, giving you an idea of what to delete. However, use caution! Don't delete files just because they're big. When in doubt, Google file names you don't recognize, and take special care removing files from your Mac's Library folders. Also think about emptying the Trash. Some new Mac users don't realize that they have to empty it occasionally, so it can take up gigabytes of space. In Mail.app, select Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items > In all accounts to free up space. iPhoto also holds onto deleted photos in a special trash bin -- select iPhoto > Empty iPhoto Trash to move them to the real Trash, and then empty it again. Another big space waster? iOS device backups. If you're now using iCloud backup to back up your camera roll, accounts, documents and settings, and you've been an iOS user for years, you might have a ton of backups chewing up space. To delete those backups, launch iTunes, then select iTunes > Preferences. Click on the Devices button, and you should see a list of device backups: Select one or more of the backups, and then click the Delete Backup button to dump those backups and clear up space. One more tip is to clean up temporary files and system logs. Your Mac normally runs UNIX maintenance scripts between 3:15 and 5:30 AM local time, but if you have your machine shut off or asleep at night, they won't run. [As our commenters pointed out, while this used to be the case in earlier versions of OS X, modern versions will actually "catch up" on the maintenance routines when the machine is awake. –Ed.] If you want to force a maintenance script to run, you can either install a free app like OnyX to perform cleanup and repair functions directly (a good idea), or use Terminal to run the scripts occasionally. Launch Terminal, which is in the Applications > Utilities folder Type the following command at the prompt, followed by the Return key: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly When prompted to type your Mac's admin password, do so and press return again. As soon as the scripts have run, the Terminal prompt returns and you can quit Terminal. Lastly, think about moving large folders or files to an external disk drive. The iPhoto and Aperture photo library and the iTunes Music folder are both notoriously huge. These are some common-sense tips for clearing up space on any Mac, even if you're not going to be upgrading to Mountain Lion. However, an OS upgrade is a perfect time to change those hoarding habits.

Getting ready for Mountain Lion: checking for compatibility
Does your Mac qualify for Mountain Lion? Not every system does, although if you're already running OS X Lion, chances are good that you'll be able to upgrade. Still, you'll want to check. The following hardware models will support Mountain Lion, according to Apple's specifications page: iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) Mountain Lion requires 2GB RAM or more (we recommend putting in as much RAM as your computer can hold; it's probably the most cost effective high-value upgrade you can give your system) and 8GB of free hard drive space (we recommend 15-20 GB at least, preferably more). You can upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) as well as Lion (OS X 10.7). Make sure you update to OS X 10.6.8 first, the latest Snow Leopard release. From there, you can purchase Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store and install it to your computer. Upgrading will not wipe away any user accounts or user data you have installed on your computer. For the most part, you can upgrade, and then pick up working wherever you left off. You may find that some apps won't make the leap, but most will -- although that's a topic for another post. Not all Mountain Lion features work out-of-the-box on all systems. To use AirDrop, the feature that lets you share files between computers using configuration-free drag-and-drop, you need a fairly recent system: MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer), MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer), MacBook (Late 2008 or newer), iMac (Early 2009 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer), Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010). My personal 2009 Mac mini doesn't support AirDrop. AirPlay Mirroring, which lets you transmit your computer's screen to Apple TV, requires mid-2011 hardware or newer for the most part. You can work around both of these limitations, if you have a mind to. We posted directions on how to enable AirDrop on older systems. You can use a third party solution like AirParrot to add your own screen mirroring to nearly any Mac, including those running older operating systems.
