Latest OX10 Lion update (10.7)
This update will not install on my iMac (Intel core duo) It says due to a system error, "contact the software Maker". Ha! I have tied updating from the Apple site and from my desktop via a download. Both with same result. Any suggestions?
The Intel CoreDuo is not Lion compatible. You need an Intel Core2Duo Core I, or Xeon to install Lion.

Before moving to a Lion compatible machine, check my other upgrade tips*:

And no, the processor is not upgradeable.

After the latest Mountain Lion Update I am missing emails
I recently installed an update for Mountain Lion on my desktop iMac and now all my emails prior to 9/24 of this year are missing. Did something change in how they are stored? I can't think of why they would be gone!
When going to your software updates on your device it will provide you with the latest available update for your device.
the iPhone 4 will update to iOS 7.0.4 provided all other updates the device is asking for has been completed.
Good luck friend. -

Is searchme part of the latest Mountain Lion update
Found Searchme extension in Safari Browser extension after latest software update. Is this a virus or Trojan?
It may have been installed when you either installed or updated Vuze, the popular Mac bittorrent client. It has an install option in the install wizard which looks very like a normal white page T&C text but is not for Vuze but for 'Free extensions by Spigot' including Searchme extension.
In that text it does indicate all the extensions added, default search engine changed etc. Also it adds Amazon and eBay buttons to the toolbar (presumably with referral codes for click throughs)
Just remember it goes through this wizard for every subsequent update also of Vuze.
If installed you will need to manually reset the default search engine and homepage in Safari preferences back to your original choices. Then remove the three extensions via Safari > Preferences > Extensions. Or manually trash them from ~/Library/Safari/Extensions/.
Or it could have been installed by a similar adware type install of another app. Either way check carefully all your Safari settings.
I also suffered some real problems with trying to right click select text in Safari and suspect this was the cause as the issue has gone since removing it. -
IMac won't boot up after install of latest Mountain Lion update
I installed the recommended software update to Mountain Lion last night on my 27" i3 iMac (8 GB RAM).
When I tried to boot my iMac this morning the "install updated software" pane was visible and it note that the installation would be "less than a minute" before it was completed. After half an hour I left for work.
Am I alone on this and what is a possible rememdy?Try turning off the computer with the power button, then turn it on to allow it to restart.

Near new mac pro retina, updated OS last night, re-started, finished my work & put it into sleep mode. On power, & hooked up to Thunderbolt screen. Got up this morning and it won't boot up. Is there anything I can do myself, or is this a shop problem?
Sounds like a #1 SMC or #2 PRAM reset is in order.

Reminders after mountain lion update
After the latest mountain lion update, all of the categories in my calendar now show up in my reminders (to-do list). It used to just be "completed", "today," and "to-do" shown in the sidebar. Can I get rid of the calendar categories (listed under "on my mac")? I have tried selecting and deleting them, but it says, "The reminder list is also a calendar containing events. If you would like to remove it from Reminders, you must delete it from Calendar." Can I hide the categories from "On my Mac" whilestill seeing the iCloud ones? It just looks to busy, and I will not use these subcategories, but I don't want to hide the entire sidebar.
Hi no real idea on this, but many Network connectivity issues have been solved by this...

Mac won't start automatically after Mountain Lion update
Today I found the latest Mountain Lion update in the App Store and I started the installation. It seemed to be working fine so I left the room for a while to do something else while it was installing. However, when I got back, Mountain Lion hadn't started by itself, and I was left with nothing but the "grey background" (if you know what I mean) that shows up during the installation.
Nothing happened so after a while I had not choice but to reboot the Mac myself by holding in the on/off button at the back. I'm not an experienced Mac user so I'm a bit worried. Does this happen often and does it mean something could be wrong with my iMac?
After the reboot I entered the App Store again to see if the update was still there, but it wasn't, so I guess the installation itself went well. I just got a bit worried that something's wrong with my iMac. I just bought it.
Thanks for your help!Ah ok, I'm relieved to hear that. So others have had the same issue with this update too? Thanks!

Yikes, I hope you have AppleCare on it still, I think it needs to be taken in, but as a last ditch effort...

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8. I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?
From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update
Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.Linc Davis

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure? -
Lion 10.7.4 to a previous Lion update
How do I go from the latest Lion 10.7.4 to the previous Lion update? This new upgrade makes my computer sluggish. Every video I watch is extremely slow and makes my computer slow and I work with video.
Thanks,
JuanOnly if at some piont before the 10.7.4 update you created a Time Machine backup or you saved the Lion install files and made your own Lion Install USB thumb drive, or DVD.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. For me to use XCode 4.5, I must have 10.7 or later. What is the best way to go ahead? Should I install OS X Lion and then move to Mountain Lion, or can I straight away install latest Mountain Lion, i.e. 10.8.2
You can directly install Mountain Lion 10.8.0 to 10.6.8, and then apply the 10.8.2 Update.
Hope this helps -
Software update requested while downloading the Lion update
Right now I'm downloading the Lion update to my MacBook [w/ snow lep] - suddenly the software update check started and then says there are new updates available to download that will require a restart. Because I'm still downloading Lion from the app store I canceled these. Sound right? Or are these updates required parts of the Lion upgrade process that I should go forward with even though they will require a reboot - probably before the Lion download from the app store is finished? [I'm in Shanghai right now and the download is taking hours]. A bit confusing. Oh yes, I have previously upgraded Snow Leopard to the latest version ready for the Lion update.
They will be iTunes and other updated Apps for Lion.
You can ignore them and run them once you have Lion up and sorted. -
Magic keyboard stopped working after latest OS X updates (June 2013)
My iMac: Just performed the latest OS X updates (M Lion) that appeared sometime late May or June 2013. I think the updates were some camera updates and iTunes, and some other things that needed a restart of the computer. After reboot the magic keyboard (that came with the iMac) stopped working. I couldn't enter the password on login screen. Funny thing was the keyboard seemed to be paired with the computer, as the light buttons and the volume buttons worked, but only them, nothing else responded.
Even trying to restart/shut down the computer did not help. Actually shutting down the computer did not work, the spinning thing spun for a while and then the login screen reappeared. No progress.
Fix: In the end I hit the physical power button and forced a shut down. After booting up, the keyboard worked again.
Maybe this can help someone.Eric,
Sorry to hear that but my aluminum Bluetooth keyboard for my 27" iMac is working fine after the Supplemental Update.
