Os X Mountain Lion 10.8 Golden Master Final For Mac

OS X Mountain Lion is the ninth major release of the Mac operating system, which was launched in July 2012. It introduced over 200 new features, such as iCloud integration, Notification Center, Messages, Reminders, Notes, Game Center, AirPlay Mirroring, Power Nap, Dictation, and more. It also improved the performance, security, and stability of the system.

The final version of OS X Mountain Lion was released as a 4.34 GB download via the Mac App Store on July 25, 2012. However, before that, Apple had released a Gold Master (GM) version of the OS to developers and testers on July 9, 2012. The GM version is the final build of the software that is ready for public release, unless any critical bugs are found.

The GM version of OS X Mountain Lion was labeled as 12A269 and had the same features and requirements as the final version. It was compatible with the following Mac models:

iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

Xserve (Early 2009)

MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)

Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)

Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

The GM version of OS X Mountain Lion was available for download from the Apple Developer website for registered developers. It was also leaked online and could be downloaded from various sources, such as [Archive.org] . However, downloading and installing the GM version from unofficial sources was not recommended, as it could violate Apple's terms and conditions and cause potential issues with the system.

The GM version of OS X Mountain Lion was not meant to be updated to the final version via the Mac App Store. Instead, users who had installed the GM version had to either reinstall the final version from scratch or use a workaround to update their system. The workaround involved deleting a file called "PlatformSupport.plist" from the System/Library/CoreServices folder and then running the installer from the Mac App Store.

OS X Mountain Lion was well received by critics and users alike, who praised its new features, performance improvements, and integration with iOS devices. It sold over three million copies in the first four days of its release, making it the most successful OS X release in Apple's history at that time. It was later updated to version 10.8.5 in September 2013, which was the last update for this OS. The next major release of OS X was Mavericks, which was launched in October 2013.
