High definition TTS voices do not download on Mountain Lion

I'm running 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion), and trying to download some of the high def TTS voices using the Control Panel Text to Speech area. I select the voice. I choose install. It gives me a terms of service which I agree to, and then is starts a download, erroring out immediately with a:
The Update "Multi-Lingual Voices" can't be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
It will download the old Mac voices (Bells, Whisper, etc), but none of the high definition TTS voices.
Looking in the logs, I see that the files it's looking for do not exist:

It can't find the package in the sucatalog online. Is there a way to change the location it's looking for these packages? Or install them manually from another location? Or do these packages no longer exist, and Apple hasn't bothered updating their catalog to reflect that?

Connect your system to your router with an Ethernet cable. Stop using WiFi for downloading a 4+GB file.
More then likely your WiFi is goinig down in the middle of the download or your ISP connection is being reset. If it is your ISP internet connection then you will need to go someplace with a better, More stable, connection to download MT Lion. If it is your WiFi that is dropping out then connecting the system to the router with an Ethernet cable will fix that.

Mail not downloading in mountain lion

Since installing Mountain Lion, my email is not downloading from my Exhange server account. Mail is coming to other devices; mail from other accounts are downloading to the mountain lion machine. Also--I noticed that I had to reconfigure the Exchange account (server info, username, password all had to be re-entered). After I reentered the info, a lot of the old Exchange mail appeared, but the new mail is still not downloading. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Any ideas? Thanks! --Angelo

Hello I have got the same problem is terrible, i can not use mail like before, i have to check my mail on browser...
Did you fix it?

My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working

Hi,
My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working.
I cannot do Skype calls.
I have already tried everything but still I'm not able to fix the problem.
Could you please advice me what to do?
Could you please provide me with a link with the drivers I may need to reinstall.
My computer is HP, Windos 8.1, 64-bit operating system, Intel i-7 processor.
I would really appreciate your quick answer to resolve this issue.
Many thanks,
Antonio
This question was solved.

Hey,
Try installing this driver: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
If that fails, try using the HP Recovery Manager to roll back to the factory installed driver.
Test after both. Let me know if either option worked.

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
Regards

Thanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
Regards

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/ It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard. It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion. I cannot find Lion anywhere.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book? It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.

What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

Three other things you can try which have worked for some people.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won't charge you again.

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

Logic Express not working on mountain lion!

i am having problems with logic express 9.0.0 which is not running on mountain lion 10.8.2.
i have made an attept to try and get newer updates but before it gets anywhere this pops up
   " An eligible Logic Express Version was not found in
     the Applications Folder. This Update requires Logic
     Express version 9.0 or higher. "
(i do not have the logic disks at hand)
          The message that pops up when i attempt to open logic
               " you cant use this version of the
                application "logic express" with this
               version of OS X.
          you have "logic express" 9.0.0 "
please help!!

Hi
First, you are going to need v9.1.7 or later with Mountain Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5421)
Second
To get the updaters to work several things MUST be correct:
The Logic Application must be named "Logic Pro" or "Logic Express" (depending on which type you are working with) with NO Additional spaces or numbers in the name.
The application must be at the root level of the Applications folder (and NOT anywhere else).

Voice dictation,Dragon Express and Mountain Lion

Are there any other users out there who want decent voice dictation software that doesn't depend upon being online all the time and speaking to the clouds?
Not everyone can be online all the time: moreover there's an old saying that 'walls have ears' - well there's a new saying that 'clouds have ears' . The new dictation facility that comes with Mountain Lion is quite a promising catch-up application, but it only works if you are online to the clouds. But the cheap price of the ML upgrade comes at a hidden cost. I recently bought Dragon Express for £39 from the App Store to use for voice dictation and have found out that it does not work under Mountain Lion.
I used to use IBM Via Voice for the Mac but that did not survive the change from System 9 to System X. Will Nuance get fed up with Apple's policy towards 3rd party developers and will they let their Dragon voice software for the Mac go the same way?
Teya

Intriguing, someone left it on "works fine" on http://roaringapps.com/app:402 for both Lion and Mountain Lion on version 7.2.3, yet when you look at the versions 7, 8, and 9 of Logic Express under the Versions section of the website, nobody was able to get it to work. Given that is the case, I edited the status to "some problems." I'll ask your post get redirected to the Logic Express forum to get the facts.

CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
Any help is much appreciated!

"Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

YouTube not loading with mountain lion

Hello i recently have downloaded osx mountain lion and youtube has not been running well and certian safari pages have not been loading. I have been wondering how to fix this? or if anyone is having the same problems thankyou ... also my internet is fine there are no problems i am through bell and this has just started when i downloaded mountain lion ... and no i do not have more than my mac connected at the times i try to use youtube or safari

You probably have to d/l and install flash, www.adobe.com > downloads > flash player on right side. FYI when I d/led and installed flash my internet scrolling got a little jittery and sometimes paused before it would scroll. Nothing serious, just annoying.
If anyone else chimes in, do you know how to fix the pause before the scroll when flash player is installed?
