Looks like there’s a problem with Lotus Notes and OS X Mountain Lion…

(Puma concolor) aka: Mountain Lion, Puma

I kept wondering where the Apple Notes application had vanished when playing with the Developer Preview version of Apple Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

I realised it wasn’t there because I had Lotus Notes installed. Both have an application icon with the name “Notes”.

If Notes is installed and you upgrade, you lose the Apple Notes application. If you install Lotus Notes after Mountain Lion, the install fails.

I am sure someone in IBM knows this….but just in case!

  1. Have this now with Preview 2, did you fixed this issue? Thx for any hint.

    Mac OS X 10.8 includes a new App called ‘notes.app’. And this is the same name as Lotus Notes use. It could be that this application overwrite Lotus Notes. Also in Mountain Lion the OS name was changed. Lotus Notes looks for ‘Mac OS X’ but Mountain Lion is only ‘OS X’.
