    Yep, it has buggered up iCloud completely !!!!!!!


     


    No longer recognises my password, I have asked iForgot to email me a password reset and still waiting for it after 5 hrs


     


    Apple is really making so many mistakes and hardware cockups now

    Hope it fixes frequent crashes I had with Safari under 10.8.2. It would crash without rhyme or reason. Mail sometimes misbehaved and didn't show messages in the inbox when I switched from my spam folder back to inbox at times. Those were the only 2 issues I noticed on 10.8.2


     


    I couldn't live with the gray icons in Finder but SideEffects fixed that and I am enjoying my move from SL to ML now and especially happy to have iCloud integration. I used the opportunity to start with a 100% clean install (no import) and I am so glad I did. My Mac pro opens apps faster than I can release the mouse click now it seems. My old SL drive was really slow thanks to God knows how much crud I had imported over the years.

    ****!


     


    iCloud is really fucked up now, cannot reset password.


     


    Don't Apple test anymore before releasing updates, their cock ups are on a Microsoft scale!!!

    Finally! I am hoping this fixes the problem I've been having of the system becoming periodically unresponsive for seconds at a time (typing doesn't appear, and then rushes to catch up, trackpad gestures have no effect and then seconds later work).

    Working for me. But I can sympathize. I have an original .Mac address still as my primary Apple ID, then managed to also acquire a .Me and a .cloud as well which caused some problems with my account. I finally had to call Apple directly to get it resolved and merge the accounts into one. Then I had to reset the password. 


     


    Correction: It was a while ago but the .Mac/Me/iCloud services don't have phone support only chat support. At least they did when I had my issue which was while .Me existed and before iCloud.

    Oh, one other issue I forgot to mention I hope has been fixed is the the computer not waking up from sleep properly. Doesn't happen always and turning the Never put hard disk to sleep seemed to fix it but would be nice to go back to default energy saver settings and be able to wake from sleep without a reset.

    Seems there are/were more general iCloud issues, not specific to the 10.8.3 update.

    Yes:


    "According to Apple's System Status webpage, the iCloud issues began a little before 2 p.m. Pacific, a few minutes before the company released the latest Mountain Lion update."


     


    BEFORE, so separate from a local computer OS upgrade.


     


    Per the linked status page all issues are shown resolved.

    Which means that you have a MacPro 1,1, a model that was discontinued in January 2008. Yes, it would have been nice to be able to run ML, but most people would think that you've had your money's worth out it.


     


    Just for the record we have one of these too, although it's still running SL. That's all it needs to earn its keep. I'll likely replace it this year once we see what the MacPro options turn out to be.

    We have a couple running Lion. Awesome computers. Bulletproof. Same, don't really need ML and if I do we have machines running it. Only issue is the drives are getting full. We have two 500GB drives. Is adding another drive pretty straight forward? I've never done it on Mac Pro. I only opened the box once right when we first got them to add in some cards. Haven't needed to do anything to them for 5 years. They just keep cruising along.

    Absolutely, I have the problems on 10.8.2 and on my iPhone.

    I have no pity for someone with a 5 year old box complaining about EFI 32bit limitations on the firmware of that system. It wasn't until several years later that UEFI 64 bit was adopted.

    it was actually seent out to hundereds of developers over the course of several revisions with no problems reported! Sometimes you just can't catch them all.

    Unbelievably easy. As simple as opening side case, sliding out empty drive bay then tightening screws after attaching hard drive. Then just slide it back in the empty slot. If you know what you are doing it can be done in less than 3 minutes. 


     


    I love my Mac Pro for this reason. I am using all 4 bays in mine.

    Ya think?!  I can get 10.8 to run on a PC but not on my 2007 MacPro.

    That's a 5 year old computer.  Get over it.  If you want to always be able to run the latest version of OS, expect that you have to update the hardware.  The solution to your problem is to sell your Mac Pro and get a Mac mini.  It'll have about the same horsepower and after you sell your machine, it's not going to cost you that much to get the upgrade.  Add in the electrical savings, and you're going to come out ahead.
