Does OS mountain lion come with Remote desktop?

My 2012 Pro does not have remote desktop anywhere on it.  All the other macs I've encountered have had it preloaded.  Is mountain lion just the first os to not have it installed?

Remote Desktop is not included with Mountain Lion nor is it preloaded on new Macs. You have to buy it:

Many features that were previously only available on Remote Desktop, screen sharing for instance, are now part of OS X though.

    On my previous Mac there was a check box for web sharing in the Sharing System Preferences. I used this to experiment with HTML website design. How do I do this on my new Mac?

  • Is  mountain lion compatible with parallels desktop 5 for Mac?

    I currently have Mac OS X. 6 snow leopard and want to upgrade to the latest version of Lion.  But I use Parallels desktop 5 for Mac.  Will this be compatible?

  • Does Mac "OSX Lion" come with "iCloud"?

    I am unsure if the new Mac "OS X Lion" comes with the new "iCloud" i hope so but i'm not sure it hasn't said it does or does not on this site

    Even if it is free, there is no guarantee it will remain so. Still, it sure looks free to me. Plus, Dropbox security has me worried. I was never interested in MobileMe, even when it was free. I am definitely interested in iCloud, even if it isn't.

  • Does Mountain Lion come with Pages?

    I recently purchased a new 27" iMac from Best Buy with the i5 Quad Core, 1TB HDD and 4GB RAM. The display model in the store was running Lion, and on the spec sheet, or price sheet for the computer it states that the ones sold were running Lion also. So I was a bit surprised when I got home and saw that it was running Mountain Lion. Pretty cool I guess but I think some things are different. For example, I didn't get to see the famous Mac start-up movie, which sucked because I was really looking forward to that, I even had my camcorder out ready to record it, because it's a pretty cool little demo, and it's my first Mac, so I was wanting to see it. Something I really didn't expect though is the lack of the Pages application being pre-loaded. it only comes with some dinky little application called "Text Edit", which opens up really small, and even though you can expand the window, I haven't yet found a way to expand the actual rule at the top of the area where text is entered, and to increase that ratio, which ***** because it's all super tiny on this super huge screen. I really expected Pages to come factory installed on here, seeing as how it is the most commonly used Mac word processor (I'm assuming). Now it looks like I have to pay $20 just for Pages, especially when it would have been nothing for Apple just to pre-install it on here from the factory? I just paid over $1700 for a computer with a little quad-core, only 1TB HDD, a tiny little 4GB of RAM (though I now have 16GB of RAM) and a little 512MB GPU? And Apple can't even throw me a bone and give me pages? Come on now, what's the deal? Can anyone help me out, with what usually comes pre-installed on Macs? I would appreciate it.
    P.S. Apple, if you want to make me happy credit me $20 or provide me with a link to download the Pages application for free..

    silvergc, I'm not looking for your support. Just a bit of friendly advice. I'm coming from using PC where there's quite a programs made available for your pre-loaded on your computer I wasn't sure as to what actually came pre-installed. I just assumed that certain applications did because every single mac I've seen had them installed. But I guess it was my mistake. Oh, and a little hint, you don't really have to be rude and compare my lack of knowledge about Macs to your all-knowing mighty superiority. People make mistakes. Also, whether pages came with the thing or not was never going to be a deal breaker, I was just using the price point to put things into prospective a little. I just needed a little clarification on what was actually meant to come with the computer, to see how I made out. Because as I stated before I come from using a PC all my life and I know that programs that come pre-loaded can vary with a PC. Great job though at making one of my first encounters with people from the Mac community, not so great. Maybe I could have looked a little harder, but your pointless post really accomplishes nothing, and only makes yourself seem like a person who would post something simply to be rude to someone. "I don't have your support", alright.. Awesome, but you know what? I also would have not had your support if you didn't bother to post anything at all.

  • Does mountain lion come with Mac Book Pro

    I just purchased a Mac Book Pro with retina display 10.8.2 but when I go to the app store it says I need to pay 19,99 for a copy how do I get a copy of mountain lion to keep just in case I need to rebuild the PC

    As you stated, your new MacBook Pro came with Mountain Lion pre-installed.  The pre-install version is not the same as the version in the Mac App Store, so if you want a copy from the App store, you need to buy it.
    Before you get all excited, your new MacBook Pro has a feature called "Internet Recovery".  If you should need to restore your machine (say for example you want to replace your hard drive for some reason), you just put in the new drive, and hold down the option key when you hear the boot chime.  It should being up a lit of possible boot options, and near the bottom of the list should be an option for a "Network Boot".  Is you select that, your MacBook Pro will connect to the Apple servers, and download the correct version of the OS for your machine.  How long it takes will depend upon your internet connection, and the time when you are performing the recovery.  If you try it during an iOS major update, it is likely the Apple servers will be slow and it may take a while, but if you try at a more normal time, it may finish the download (about 4.7GB) in under 2 hours, depending upon your internet connection.  Keep in mind that if you have a local Apple Store, you can go there and use their wifi network to perform the download process...

  • I just bought my Mac Mini today, shouldn't Mountain Lion come with it?

    I just bought a new Mac Mini 8-24-12.  Shouldn't it have come with Mountain Lion installed?  And if not, do I qualify for a free upgrade?

  • Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates?  I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

    Need some advice

    I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
    Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
    Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

  • Does mac book pro come with os lion

    I know it may sound dumb but does the mac book pro come with os lion or do I need to purchase it? Tried looking in my system reference and it does not say and if i do have to buy it will I get the update when mountain lion comes out? Thanks for any info.

    >about this mac.  If it says 10.7.x, you have Lion.  Can't answer questions about Mountain Lion as Apple has released very little details about it in terms of what you are asking.

  • HT1338 can't do latest update on mountain lion. comes up with error code.

    cant do latest update on mountain lion. comes up with error code

    Your profile shows you are running 10.7.4? Is that correct? If so, you cannot download Mountain Lion without purchasing it first. Please post back with the OS version you are actually running.

  • Does anyone know when os x mountain lion comes out exactly

    does anyone know when os x mountain lion comes out exactly

    Best guesses I've heard are between 19 July and 26th.
    Since Lion came out on the 20th last year, I'm betting it won't be before that. It would be the first ever major OS release that hadn't even made it to a full year. Somehow, can't see Apple wanting that accolade.

  • Does the macbook pro come with mac os x v10.7 lion

    does the macbook pro come with max os x v10.7 lion?

    It depends when it was manufactured - if you should choose to buy a refurbished unit from Apple , it may still have Snow Leopard (but you would of course qualify for a free upgrade to Lion) or, it would also be possible to buy a new one from a reseller with Snow Leopard if he had the MBP for a while, so it would be adviseable to ask.

  • Does OS 10.7 (Lion) come with iMovie?

    Does anyone know if Lion comes with iMovie? I know I can download the iMovie app alone, but does it come bundled with other software?

    No, it doesn't. iMovie is available as a standalone application, included with iLife DVDs, and bundled with the Mac Box Set.
