HT1338 I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is starting slow and opening with some of the programs. How can I fix the problem?
I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test.

After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes music files. How can I fix this problem?
I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files. How do I fix this problem.
Hey Joey BOD,
It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
iOS: Force an app to close

And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9
What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie? Do you get any message and if so what is it? What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet. Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again. -
I updated my Macbook pro to mountain lion and now it takes a while to turn on
I don't like turning my laptop off cause I use it frequently, but after I updated to mountain lion, If I close my laptop and then open it, I movethe mouse and nothing happens, then I push the power button and it won't do anything and I push it again and it takes like 2 minutes for the screen to reappear and load back to where it was. This also happens when I leave the computer open and don't use it for a while, Why is it doing this?

IPhoto update to 9.4.1 after updating MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion
Hello.
I updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and iPhoto to 9.4.1, but the Mac App Store still shows a "1 update available" notification, but when I open the App Store, next to iPhoto it says "Installed". How do I get rid of the "1 update available" notification ?
Thanks for your help,
AntonioAddendum to my post above (I'm past the window to edit my original post). Here is a screen shot (cick image to enlarge/read) of the multiple iPhoto 9.4 updates installed yet the App Store still insists that my installed version needs updating. I'm completely befuddled on this one.

I just upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion. Now I want to install windows, but during installation using bootcamp, it says windows can't install on FAT partition. I couldn't change it to NTFS. Also how can I partition my hard disk after windows installation. Coz before windows installation, if I partition hard disk, it won't allow me to install windows saying startup disk can't be partitioned.......help would be appreciated.

Now, I wish to upgrade from Mountain Lion 10.8.5 to latest version of OS X Yosemite, but I am in doubt and worry if after upgraded to Yosemite, can I still using my Windows XP where I installed now in Mountain Lion 10.8.5 BootCamp?
Yosemite does not allow a new installation of XP, but an existing XP installation is self-contained and will continue to work. Does your XP installation use a FAT partition? You may be better off using NTFS and then upgrading to Yosemite.
Will the Yosemite upgrade process delete my Windows XP partition or crash my current BootCamp? Can I still have an option to load OS X or Windows XP (press 'alt/option' key during boot up) after upgraded to Yosemite?
If you have made any re-sizing attempts to WXP partition Yosemite will cause problems, otherwise the Yosemite upgrade leaves XP untouched.
Are there any specific reasons to upgrade to Yosemite? -
I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.
What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS. -
HT1619 How do I disconnect an Apple remote from my MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion update?
My friend set up Apple TV while I was using my laptop in the same room and the remote is now connected to my laptop. I've looked at a bunch of different sites and forums trying to figure out how to disconnect it and it seems that with the new Mountain Lion operating system, there is no way to do this. PLEASE HELP it's driving me crazy because everytime he presses a buttom on the remote, it interferes with what I'm doing.
Sorry, but my late 2009 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion continues to be be controlled by the ATV2 remote after disabling remotes in system preferences. Anyone else having the issue or has a solution?
Cheers! -
I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.
Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50
Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?
It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP. If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

Or you can get an all in one:

If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:

Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later. Earlier ones require tapping the audio output 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 AhmadYes 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
Tauheed
