I inadvertently installed the Mountain Lion Safari over my existing copy not realising that it would not work with OS 10.7.5 and now I am unable to use it .
Can someone suggest a solution please.
It should work, but it's an unmitigated mess. Simplest is to boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS.

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

After installing the mountain lion on my Mac at startup a stop sign appears and i cant loguin or do anything.. What should i do?
If you mean the "no entry" sign, a circle with a slash through it, then you need to reinstall Mountain Lion.
Boot into the Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r at startup tone until gray screen.
From there, reinstall Mountain Lion. -
I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. When i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space! HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly
This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues. -

My iPod touch's menu button literally sank in and now I am unable to use my iPod totally because I cannot press the menu button at all. Can Apple rectify this if I send it to a service center?
You should definetely contact an apple store! If your warranty is valid they will probably fix it for free. Until then go to settings, general, accessibility, assisive touch and turn it on. A circle will appear that does exactly what your home button does.

My MBA is consuming the battery in less than two hours after I installed Lion Mountain. The update has already been done for some time. The problem of consumption would be the same OS, according to several complaints, or were inadequately apps consuming battery?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

HT1338 I have installed the Mountain Lion and the battery drains exact 40% faster like before...
Hi,
i have upgraded my Mac Book Air to the OS X ML and now we have a lot of problems in our office. Our macs are running out of battery almost 50% faster as before. I understand that it is a problem of the Software, not Hardware. But how long will it last? It is really making like compicated. We were buying Mac Airs exactly because of their battery length and presentation skills...?
Best regards,
EdgarOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?

Upgraded my Macbook Pro tonight to 10.8.2....horrible move, internet connection is now a slow crawl. Was very fast before upgrade. IF no known fix how do I go back to 10.8.1?
I had the same problem. My solution was to reset the SMC on my 2010 Macbook Pro and now my internet speed is back to normal.
To reset the SMC, shut down the computer completely. Then hold SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION on the left hand side of the keyboard AND the Power key for at least 2 seconds. Release all the keys, then repower the laptop normally using the power key.
Hope this helps. -
Please help! I have two separate email addresses -my old mobile me and the new icloud and now nothing is syncing with my iphone. I'm not sure how to get everything back to syncing the way it was before I changed everything over to icloud.
If you really did migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you would have the same address as before.
It sounds as though you didn't actually migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you just started up a brand new iCloud account.
You won't be able to access MobileMe now. If you failed to move everything over to iCloud properly, then all the data and the account has been deleted as Apple said it would at the end of July.
To get everything to sync, you need to make sure all your devices and computers are logged into the same iCloud account. Possibly what has happened is some are still using the old (now deleted) MobileMe account and some are using the new iCloud account. -
I have downloaded the update and installed it a few times and I still have the same issue, (not having the latest version). I am running windows XP.
If you see the message in here: www.google.com/firefox
'''you are updated '''see your user agent :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 '''Firefox/9.0.1'''
all you have to do is to '''set another page as the home page''', as '''cor-el '''said with very detailed explanation in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/905310 here]
'''copied from cor-el reply:'''
"That text about not running the latest Firefox version is hardcoded on the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox used as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore. Current Firefox versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. So Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you about that and suggests to update. You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle)."

Has anyone installed the D5259a M70 driver in XP? MS gives warning that it is not logo'd.
I'm looking at installing a D5259a M70 driver on a Lenovo T60 laptop as a temporary fix. When I get to the end I get a warning from XP that the driver has not passed compatibility testing and could destabilize the system. I've only found the one driver so far so would like to know that this has been done before with no ill effects. Thx.
Well, well, well... Nothing has changed. Somehow or another Adobe has managed to truly take control of Windows 7.
I updated Bridge or more correctly... The Cloud did and every files extension in Bridge had 'none' as the application. Lovely stuff. Now All I want to know is why did Adobe take control of Windows file manager and cause this much grief?
I almost never use the clunky and often impossible to manage Bridge. Simple freeware... Irfanview is way more elegant than Bridge and 10 times more useful IMO.
Well thanks for the heads up Curt. I never considered the full implication of giving Adobe the freedom to add and remove whatever they wanted to... Forget the don't fix what isnt broken thing... Just pour everything we've got in the cloud onto all the members PCs, eh? Hard drives are cheap and hey, what are forums for when things go wrong if it isn't to keep Adobe informed of bugs they can silently fix and pour 'em back into the cloud as fixes.
Ha,ha you just gotta love progress eh?
This is really going to take on. I can see it now... For every mess up of a PC -- "THE CLOUD DID IT"!!!
