Just noticed that iTunes track notifications are gone, the old terminal command for Lion dosn't work anymore...

feel bad for those still waiting on a code, Apple seriously fucked this launch up
Yea, I'm honestly kind of amazed at it. After coming from SL with 20 tabs taking ages to open...basically opens instantly now and the fans no longer spin up like mad.

fix UI lag?
I agree, at least a dark option. I have a lighter wallpaper so sometimes it blends. Not terrible but I did look for the option.
I mostly use it on mail and the occasional reminder. I think it's going to be a little bit before more apps start making use of them.
Really? I have a mid-2012 Air running Lion still and my boot time is around 8 seconds.
Whaaat? That sucks. I would've thought it would become a feature if anything, not removed.
Why would you use the web for iCloud, though? I know they have a front end for it, but I wouldn't use that unless it was a emergency.
I use iCloud because I mainly use Apple's native apps, and everything is synced across platforms.
So apparently Growl 2 will come to the App store with notification support. Would be cool if this was a work around for apps who aren't on the App store to still use notification center (The Verge seems to suggest that this is the case).
EDIT: Oh, apparently (See ivedoneyourmom's post below), this post is incorrect. Though then I'm not sure what the point of Growl 2 would be.

I just updated my air and the only thing I had to install was Java. Everything else was there.
People really should stop propagating this misinformation. All apps, AppStore, signed, or not have the ability to use Local Notifications. Push Notifications are the only notifications restricted to AppStore apps, but that's kind of a no brainer, since they use Apple's servers and resources.
many thanks Z.

X11 has to be manually installed, as well. I'm sure that was automatic before.

Oh my gosh.
Except it's not just bringing it back to Snow Leopard levels of speed. With Lion, Apple completely updated the graphics foundation of the OS when they updated everything to OpenGL 3.2. That was a huge change, and we're lucky it went as smooth as it did for an OS that relies so heavily on desktop animation. That within a year, they've pretty much worked all the kinks out to get performance as good and sometimes better than Snow Leopard PLUS OpenGL 3.2 functionality is pretty impressive.
I believe the OS will provide you dialog box with the option to download it whenever something accesses localhost:0.0, or when you launch X11.app for the first time - but I did not perform a clean install, so it may be different on those machines - pretty much the same as when you attempt to launch a Java app without it installed, or like how Snow Leopard did with Rosetta and PPC apps.
Edit: my bad, it redirects you to support documentation - too bad, should have done it nicer Apple.
Fuck, It's been 30 days already =\
I have AppleCare, so maybe that'll be worth something. I have an appointment at the Apple Store today. Hopefully things'll work out.
Actually, do you think it's better to call, or to go to the Apple Store?

Well from my visit they just replaced mine with a new one, but I am thinking of returning it for a 11in air and a 21in imac. I am sick of the lag on ML and not to mention that it is a REV A product. I don't need to worry as I need a good laptop for school and the air is mature at this point.
Hopefully I'll have the same luck as you; mine is BTO though so I'll probably have to wait for a new one.
I'm definitely getting another retina though, not exchanging. I'm going to school for video, and a display like that is so good. The Air isn't powerful enough for video work, either.

I had no idea that you could do that. I've just upgraded to ML. Wow. It works. Just pinch and then use the swipe gesture to switch taps. Neat.
Also loving the dictation add on. Fab.
I don't reboot very often but I did my first in a few days last night, holy shit.
you can't reformat from the partition you're currently booted into. you have to boot into the recovery partition, then reformat and reinstall via the Internet Recovery from there -

Versions is an API and file modification database. The user interface for it can be accessed by a drop down menu in a document's (from apps that support the feature) titlebar. Not exactly sure what you mean about save a copy, but if you are talking about what used to be known as "Save as..." there are two ways of doing it - you can select Duplicate from the File menu and then Save the new file, or you can hold down option when opening the File menu and select Save as....
PowerNap is a feature for Macs which have an SSD that is not attached via SATA (The Air, and MBPr), it allows the computer to come on in a super low energy mode to do some network updates and backups (backups require connection to a power source).
If you have multiple tabs open in Safari and pinch in, it will show you part of the pages on the left and right, where you can swipe through them similar to spaces/coverflow.
LaunchPad is for people who are much more familiar with the app based computing paradigm popularized by iOS. Many of these people are not very familiar with navigating the Finder, and the Dock does not have unlimited space.
ruxtpin: I'd just collapse them (a hide button should appear when hovering over the top level mail account category)
Damn. For some reason I don't have a recovery partition (when I hold option on boot), and when I use cmd-R to boot into it, I get the internet recovery view, which displays this;
Yeesh, I got bad luck or something. Thanks for the ongoing help though.

Do you have a disc or a USB stick? Just make a bootable installation.

Rezuth has it right. Take your ML install and make a USB boot disk. It will allow you to reformat and also do the install. It will also put the recovery partition on there so you won't face this issue again. It's a good move.
That's actually what I was planning to do from the get-go, a clean install. Then I realized I didn't have an 8GB USB around and my 1TB external HDD didn't let me make a new partition, so I though "OK i'll just upgrade". Which as y'all know, didn't work either. So it seems i'm basically back to square one! Doing what I first intended to do anyway. :lol I better find myself an 8GB USB or a way to partition this external bitch soon!

Do you have a Snow Leopard disc laying around?

The Revision A talk makes me lean more towards a stopgap maxxed out Air.
Also, I love LaunchPad. It let me finally get rid of DragThing which I had been using like LP for years. It is amazing. I don't keep icons in my Dock.

Just go to best Buy. You can buy a 8 GB flash drive for under 10 bucks.

So how can I fix Safari? I can't go back a page with backspace anymore.
Yeah, this was disabled to "harmonize" the backspace function among all apps and to promote gestures.
To re-enable, looks like the geniuses have figured it out, check it out here:

I wouldn't call the MacRumors forum members geniuses. A large portion of them are a bunch of whiny ungrateful complainers. And this coming from someone who had one of his YouTube videos posted on their front page.
You need an iCloud account to use iCloud. Since you didn't make one all your content will be locked on the device you made them on because you are telling Apple you don't want to use iCloud. You need an account for the documents and other data to be assigned to.
How long before someone finds out a hack to put widgets in the Notification Center? Like weather or CPU/network info, basically iStat Menus but in the NC.
Yeah, but my disc drive has been dead for quite a while now. :lol I'll get my hands on an USB somehow, though.
