Is it possible to run OS X Mountain Lion in a Virtual Machine on an AMD Processor?

Hi guys, title says it all. Is it possible to run OS X Mountain Lion in a Virtual Machine on an AMD Processor? It is said that it only works on an Intel and I have an Intel computer but my AMD is the one I use for experimenting things such as this.
Thanks

  • Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
    Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
    For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
    Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

  • Replaced an older IMac that had OS snow leopard and could run microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. I'm told that this version of Office for Mac will not run on OS mountain lion. Is this true? or is there a workaround?

    Just received a new Imac running OS10.8 Mountain Lion. I have MS Office 2004 that ran ok on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm told that this software will not work on the new OS. Are there any work arounds?

    ... and have only used Word and hate to try to learn something new if not necessary. 
    The dirty little secret that they are keeping from you, is YES, there is a way to continue to use Microsoft Office's Word 2004 in Mountain Lion!  
    It is to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on your new Mac and then install and run Word 2004 there:
                                  [click on images to enlarge]
    Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). Parallels 8 retails for $79 but can be found for less searching for discounts on the internet.
    Personally I hate the way Microsoft has changed Word 2008 and Word 2011, because I was 100% comfortable with how Word 2004 was setup and utilized.  There is a learning curve to both of these upgrades and a more steeper one to the "free" alternatives that were suggested to you.
    In a perfect world, you should upgrade to Office 2011; I did (actually it was a gift, but the price was not an object for me anyway). But the world is not perfect...
    So, if, like me, there are times that you are most comfortable operating in the Word 2004 environment, my suggestion offers you a easy, stable, relatively inexpensive means to continue to do so in Mountain Lion.
    GOOD LUCK!

  • Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
    Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    ... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
    I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine.  Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

  • HT1338 i cannot run java with mountain lion

    i cannot run java with mountain lion

    @jnsmth
    I see Barney-15E made suggestions regarding Chrome preferences. There's also a setting on the Mac to deal with this. Regarding the drop-down menus not seeming to scroll through (such as a list of states)--where when you place or click your cursor over the drop-down menu and it only opens to some of the options in a list, I found that you have to change the scroll bar behavior in your computer's (and not the browser's) General Preferences within your System Preferences.
    Open System Preferences, and click on "General" inside the top row of "Personal Preferences" (as it is in my system with Mountain Lion, and I think prior operating systems before that).
    Once inside General Preferences, select the radio button option for your scroll bar which you'd like to use in the "Show scroll bar:" section ("Automatically based on mouse or trackpad," "When scrolling," or "Always." If you're using a mouse and not a trackpad, you'd probably want to select "Always" as it takes swiping over the drop-down list on the trackpad to enable (make visible) the scroll bar and/or scroll the list.
    Either with the installation of Mountain Lion, or the installation of my trackpad (I'm using a desktop iMac and not a Macbook / laptop) I found that the righthand scroll bars seem to automatically disappear. When I moused over or clicked on a drop-down menu (such as the list of states) I'd see only the first few options in the list. In order to access the rest of the states (get the list to scroll) you have to either have the scroll bar setting set to show "Always" or (if you have a trackpad) use the trackpad to swipe/scroll while hovering your cursor over the list's items to get it to scroll the list, and thus then show/reveal the lefthand scroll bar (which can then be accessed with your mouse if you prefer.
    This confused me at first when my scroll bars seemed to disappear, but was an easy fix.
    Hope that helps with that part of your issue.

  • Any settings that can be adjusted to make everything run faster with Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of any settings or adjustments that can be tweeked to make my machine run faster with Mountain Lion?
    Thanks, Jason

    yes you can do it yourself - it's actually a simple upgrade - i use a ssd in my macbook and have the RAM maxed out to 16GB.
    as for what brands should you consider, here are some good ones.
    Sandisk Extreme - Currently the fastest one out there.
    Kingston HyperX - Second fastest - this is what I have in my 13 Inch Late 2011.
    Samsung 830 series - Fast and uses less battery power - this is what's installed in the Macbook Retina.
    Crucial M4 - Also a fast SSD - I have the 512GB installed in my 15 inch Late 2011.
    If you decide to install one of these ssd in your Macbook - let me know if you need a step by step on how to clone your drive.
    Good luck..

    No one knows for sure as yet. This is the information Apple has provided to date:

    how do i reinstall mountain lion on fairly new machine i have really messed it up i have no key or original login do ihave to to pay

    You never have to pay to reinstall a Mac's original OS. If that was Snow Leopard or earlier though, you need its original discs.
    If the Mac was built after Lion was released, about August 2011, boot OS X Recovery - using two fingers hold the ⌘ and R keys while starting your Mac. When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select "Reinstall Mac OS X".

  • Mac running slow after mountain lion

    Mac startted running slower about a week after downloading Mountain Lion. Is that possible related?

    Probably not but you haven't said anything about your system configuration so that may have a bearing on things. How much RAM is installed on your machine? If you have the 2GB minimum then you almost certainly could benefit by a RAM upgrade. Please complete your profile so we know a bit more about your system, it won't help on this thread because the thread has already begun however it will be useful down the road. For instructions on how please click Profile Update.
    Another thing you can do is open Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and run Repair Disk Permissions, I'd recommend doing that at least 2X.

  • IMac-27inch model (late 2012) running slow after Mountain Lion 10.8.5 supplemental update

    I have the iMac 27-inch (late 2012 model), 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive.  All of a sudden after the Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental update it started running like molasses (apps take forever to open, takes forever to wake out of sleep, long boot up times, etc.)  I ran verify disk, verify disk permissions, etc.  I found that when I ran verify disk permissions, it stated that the iTunes permissions weren't right so I repaired disk permissions, reboot, still same problem.  Ran verify disk permissions again, once again iTunes permissions issues, repair disk permissions, restart, same problem over and over again like Ground Hog Day, please help...

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • How to I run Snow Leopard,  Mountain Lion and Windows 8 on my new iMac

    I just bought a new iMac. My goal is to set up 3 different partions to run 3 different operating systems (Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard, and Windows 8).  The reason for this post is because when I attempted to do this same thing on my old iMac ( except I was running Lion instead of Mountain Lion) I was able to create a partion that would run Snow Leopard (so I could run Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 on a more stable platform), however I totally "hosed" my old Bootcamp partition running Windows XP. The iMac won't even bootup in Bootcamp anymore. It is just a black screen and it says something about it not being a bootable drive and to insert a bootable disc.
    So I need to know the best way to do this, and I want to avoid having the same problems with my new iMac that I had on my old one, especially since I have a freelance job starting next week and my client is sending me licences for software that I will need to run on Windows 8.
    Thank you in advance

    Use the Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 8 and a product such as VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, or Parallels Desktop to run Snow Leopard Server in emulation. That iMac model isn't capable of being booted into Snow Leopard.

  • Macbook Pro runs slow using Mountain Lion?

    I have access to use a Macbook Pro which is running Mountain Lion. However, the MBP runs very slowly and the coloured wheel is constantly spinning with almost everything I try to do. I do not know why and would like to be able to have a normal running MBP.
    I wondered whether installing Yosemite might help? Or I have read some posts about resetting the System Management Controller. Please can someone give me some advice as to what to do that will work?
    Thank you

    Installing Yosemite will probably NOT help. 
    Slow MBPs usually are a result of a failing HDD, third party software (often so called 'cleaning' or 'performance' applications) or unnecessary AV software.
    SMC resets are good for certain hardware issues and will also probably NOT address the issue.
