Apple’s OS X 10.8.5, better known as Mountain Lion, represents the company’s ninth major release of the OS X desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. The company has been testing a fifth update to Mountain Lion for some time and today released the software for public consumption.

The OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 Update is recommended for all OS X Mountain Lion users.

Updating your system

1. You should back up your system before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
2. Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system.
3. You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means.
4. Choose Apple menu () > Software Update to check for the latest Apple software via the Mac App Store, including this update.
5. Other software updates available for your computer may appear, which you should install. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others.

You can also download the manual update installer. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. These versions of the standalone installers are available from Apple Support Downloads.

What is StarFriend?

StarFriend allows you to use SC2 in LAN without needing a connection to the BN servers. It's free and already approved by thousands of players worldwide.

 

Why use StarFriend?

Lack of LAN play caused problems in 2010 Major League Gaming tournament in Dallas, Texas, which experienced severe delays and problems with BN 2.0. Another major BN 2.0 failure occurred during Blizz's own GSL World Championship Team League tournament in March 2011 when one player was dropped from the game resulting in a do-over. And in April 2011 the Major League Gaming tournament in Dallas experienced ?chronic lag issues? (that) have plagued BN all day, making many games difficult to play and nearly unbearable to watch. ~Wikipedia
