Notes

The developers are aware of the incompatibility and are working to fix it with updates promised in this forum post:
http://www.livescribe.com/int/faq/support_forum.html#/forums/showthread.php?p=32489

Update:
Livescribe claimed all bugs are fixed and it worked for a little while now my Pulse smartpen won't connect and before then it had issues with creation and viewing of custom notebooks, this caused the program to shut down about 20% of the time any custom notebook was updated and about 90% of the time when any custom notebook was viewed after making changes to a custom notebook.

Update:
It is claimed that all bugs are fixed with update 2.8
The program may have to be uninstalled and reinstalled manually
(don't let auto deleters such as AppZapper & Hazel delete related data files)

Desktop and Connect both launch upon connecting the pen, but no synchronization occurs.

Requires re-install (same version of software) to repair in Mountain Lion. You'll need to temporarily tell Gatekeeper to allow install of software from "Anywhere". Once re-installed you can re-enable Gatekeeper. Livescribe Desktop will now recognize and sync the pen.

Is there an update coming for Mountain Lion?

It works for a while. However Livescribe Connect begins shutting down upon open and Livescribe Desktop crashes when the pen is plugged in.

I'm also seeing my /var/log/system.log filling with these errors, which I haven't been able to get rid of:

Since the last update it still force closes a lot when editing custom notebooks and now it won't recognise my Pulse smartpen.

Here it's the same. Using custom notebooks causes Version 2.8.0 to crash after a while. For me the software is unusable now, because in 10min it crashes a minimum of 10 times :-( Wrote this to livescribe, forum article is not online until now, needs approval.
