Downgrading New Mac pro to Mountain Lion

Is it possible to downgrade a New Mac Pro to Mountain Lion?
Apple has removed the Open Transport API from Mavericks and we need it to run a specific medical program.
The software runs on our old Macs. Just wondering if its ok to do this on the new Mac Pro.

Thanks for the thoughts people.
I didn't think it could be possible.
We have a solution - albeit a messy one.
The software component that is incompatible is a DICOM server (medical image server). The actual viewing software used to manipulate the image is compatible - just the image import component is not.
Putting it simply we will set up some folder aliases over the network so the viewing software will just use the image folders on the old Mac as their repository.
We have also contacted the developers to get them to update their software! As technically, it is not compatible with Mac...

My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes when installing updates or new software.

My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes and re-boots when installing updates or new software. I can only perform these operations while in the safe boot mode. I have reloaded OSX twice. Does not solve the problem. The machine is brand new. It replaced a previous MacPro that would not support the new Mountain Lion. When my new machine came in. I swaped the dirve out of my old unit into the new and ran the new Lion update. The machine has had this aforementioned problem since that time. Also, I had the Legacy version of File Vault running on the old machine/drive, which I also turned off(thinking that was the problem) but that did not fix the problem either.

Here is my panic log entry:

HT1341 I have a new mac pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.1 but cannot connect to my Canon 6000B printer and can't find a driver download on the net - can anyone help on this?

I have a new mac powerbook pro OS X 10.8.1 and cannot connect to my canon 6000B printer - the printer appears in the printer list but will not install and I can't find a driver on the net - does anyone know what the solution is?

Thanks for getting back. I need help here
1 What do you mean by System Information? Is that System Preferences?
System Information is located in Applications > Utilities. It shows lots of information about your Mac, including information about the printer queues.
dino1335 wrote:
2 When I go to System Preferences and click on the printer LBP6000/LBP6018 there is no information in that window about the URI if I click Open Print Queue there is no information other than the ID of the printer
In previous versions of OS X you did see this information via the Options & Supplies pane for the selected printer in Print & Scan. But with 10.8 this information was removed so know you need to use System Information > Printers to see information about an installed printer.

3 If I print a document it just goes to print (it goes through the printer but no information is printed on the paper) there is no print cue so I don't know where to find the information on the URI or what I am supposed to copy
I believe that the document does not print because the print queue has not been created correctly. The CAPT driver requires a specific queue name and if the queue name is wrong then you will not be able to print.

FYI I also have a MacBook Pro (old) with Leopard which I also print to the same printer on and there isn't a problem with that just with this new MacPro which has Lion installed
Not surprised to read that. Mtn Lion has caused some issues for owners of CAPT printers, especially if they upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7 or 10.6.
Since you mention the ability to print on 10.5, I just want to check that you are physically moving the USB cable connected to the LBP from the 10.5 Mac to the 10.8 Mac, rather than sharing the printer from one Mac to the other. Because if you are sharing the printer from the 10.5 to the 10.8 Mac then this can be a cause of your current issue. The CAPT driver does not work when it is being shared to other Mac's.

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...

Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer? My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC. I just switched to mac. The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP. HP has no software drivers for me to download. Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software. However, there are no updates when I try that. I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use. Help!!!

Are you sure it has no usb port?

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks

Acrobat 9 fails to recognize (scanner) Epson Artisan 730 after Mac Pro and Mountain Lion Upgrade

I had no problems scanning from the Epson Artisan 730 all in one until I upgraded my Powermac G5 to a mid-2010 Mac Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8. The printer is installed with most recent drivers from Epson (the install disk will not work on 10.8 anyway). I can scan directly from the Print and Scan system preference under the scan tab of the printer and it prints fine from Acrobat. When I go to Document -> Scan to PDF, it brings up a dialog box in which the first input is box is Scanner: "Please select a device" with up and down arrows on the right. When I click on the up and down arrows, there are no selection options other that "Please select a device" with a check mark next to it. This printer is wireless, as is another Canon which also has a scanner and neither appear as available. Very frustrating. I have repeated the instalation process (for the Epson downloaded driver utilities) and it just is not seen.
If anyone has any workarounds or solutions, I would be grateful.

Of course now I have a red badge on the App Store that is asking me to update the Epson driver. I wonder if that will blow out the TWAIN driver. It's epson14333.dmg.
No. Your TWAIN drivers are separate than the Image Capture Device drivers that would be installed by the printer driver update.
Also, no way of getting rid of the badge notification in system preferences. App store is not listed.
There is no law that you must update software just because it is available. There is no way to get rid of the red badge, but you don't have to do the upgrade.

Why can't I update my Mac Pro to Mountain Lion?

Here is the system info for my Mac Pro. I'm told I can't update to Mountain Lion because my Mac isn't compatible. I run pro Tools and now I can't even stay current because Pro Tools 11 requires 10.8 or better. *** is going with you Apple? Do you REALLY think I'm going to go out and spend another 3500.00 just to update my system software. This is a disgrace.

I cannot seem to update Garageband 11 on my new MacBook Pro retina (Mountain Lion)

Hi,
I've just bought a new 15" MBP retina (Mountain Lion). I have Garageband '11 pre-installed.
When i try to add additonal instruments Garageband opens a prompt box and asks if I want to update now or later. I have tried both options and neither work - the app store opens but it cannot find any updates.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

Sometimes you need to reload the updates page at the App Store after you selected to "Update Later":
From the App Store main menu bar: Store > Reload page
If that does not bring the update forward, see my post here:
Re: Can't download loops for Garage Band '11

Upgraded mac pro to mountain lion, now cannot get flash to download!!!

ok, here is the problem, I have a work macbook pro that is not connected to a backup time capsule. Upgraded to mountain lion today and nightmare occurs. Flash wont work as in system preferences it said flash was 10.1. something. Tried to upgrade flash to 10.3.something as per adobe site. it would not get past 39% and stopped working. Others questions on the communities suggested pluggins as issue, tried to sort that out to no avail. finally read somewhere that i need to unistall flash and then new version would install. thats where it all went wrong!!! Downloaded adobe uninstaller anf yep it unistalled flash, only problem is the installer for the current flash still wont download. So before I had at least firefox working with the old flash (and not safari!) but now neither work as it registers me as not having flash and needing to install it!! ARGH!!!
Sort of worked a worked around for the time being by downloading chrome, and that works, but does anybody know how I can reslove this, tried following instructions from other threads and it just dont work. I am not a computer geek and its depressing me as I felt deflated after following a link that told me to go to disk utility, that highlighted an error that it could not repair even after command R restart. Is there anyway to return my computer to prior to mountain lion install back to lion without have a time capsule....feeling depresssed as I convinced my collegues to by a MAC because they just work and I am getting grief because it doesnt!!!
HELP please

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

New macbook pro running mountain lion does not work in clamshell mode when attached to a thunderbird display.

I have a new macbook pro retina running mountain lion. I want to use it with a thunderbolt display. When I close the lid on the macbook pro, everything goes dark.

Plug in the power to the laptop. Then it works.

Are new Macs shipping with Mountain Lion? Everything on the website suggests yes, but CS told me no and I had to upgrade my brand new MacBook Air manually.

Does "Included Software" not mean "this is the software you will receive when you buy this Mac"?

Ahh OK.
Since Mountain Lion is so new, there may be a some units still in the supply chain that are still shipping with Lion.
Are you near an Apple Store? If you purchase there you'll be more certain about what you're getting.
Or if you order from the online store but do it by telephone (800-692-7753) you can express your concern about getting Mountain Lion.

How do you make a startup disk for Mac Pro with mountain lion

My Mac Pro did not come with a disk how do you make one or get one??
If you ever need to repair or reformat your hard drive you need one!

If you still have - or can download - the Lion Installer app from the Mac App Store, you'll find an app titled "Install Mac OS Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder. If it's not there, and you've already purchased it, just go to the MAS, look under your Purchases tab and download it from there. If you haven't already purchased it, you'll need to do so using your Apple ID.
Once you have the installation app, get a 8GB+ USB flash drive and download DiskMaker X - just plug in the flash drive, start up DiskMaker X and follow the instructions. You'll now have a bootable installation disk.
Good luck,
Clinton
