Mountain Lion killed my Mini

Hmmm - what a mess.  I downloaded ML - took many hours, then in the morning clicked "install".  It went through it's gyrations, but I noticed that my screen kept toggling to "analog powersaving mode" and shutting off.  Now that it is fully installed, this trend has continued.  Even after a full shutdown and restart, about once every 30 seconds, for a second or two, I can see my screen.  then it blanks out for another 25 seconds or so.  Just keeps doing it.
The screen is fine, since I plugged it into my laptop and it works just dandy.  Kinda dissappointed in Apple this time.

Thanks for the Idea.  Unfortunately the PRAM reset didn't change things.  The link lead me to the possiblity that the Power Management Unit was not happy - especially since I sometimes see the "Analog Power Saving Mode" message blink quickly on my computer screen.  Tried resetting that and now don't have any screen writing at all.  making it worse, I think.  Shoot.

  • I started downloading Mountain Lion about 30 mins ago and I see no progress. I'm downloading it through my wifi. Is this normal? Should I go to a hard line in instead? Thanks......

    You're not using the fast tracks midi out you are using the analog/digital audio.
    But go to garageband preferences > Audio Midi and I'm guessing you have the wrong output set. Choose the output that you are using, I'm going to guess built in.
    And make sure the fast track is set for audio input.

    Trying to download Mountain Lion on Mac Mini currently running Lion 10.7.4. Computer is set to never sleep.  When I check progress it says "waiting" under purchases on App store. What does this mean?  Way too long to still be waiting. HELP

    In the app store where it says waiting, do you get the option to "resume"?

  • I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

    I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work.  I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

  • Trying to install Mountain Lion 2012 Mac Mini

    I am upgrading (downsizing) from an old Mac Pro running Lion, to a new 2012 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. 
    I have a new SSD Hard Drive I want to install Mountain lion on via a USB dock, and then I will install it in the Mini to replace the slow 1TB drive that came with it. 
    The problem is, even though the 2012 Mini is running 10.8.2, (Mountain Lion) when I try to download/install Mountain Lion it tells me I cant download it and that OSX Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer. 
    Which is ridiculous, as it is running 10.8.2 right now./
    ideas?
    Flustered.

    If you want a fresh install of Mountain Lion on the
    external, you should be able to boot into the Recovery HD
    and select install OSX and direct it to install on the external
    drive.
    Then again, cloning is just so much simpler.

  • Sonnet USB 3.0 PCIe Fail with Mountain Lion, Kills Bluetooth

    Just sent the following to Sonnet support. They have a system support installer that is supposed to make the card work with Mountain Lion, which it does, but it also kills Bluetooth on my Mac Pro:
    Hi there. Have been banging my head against a wall on Mountain Lion upgrade to a 3,1 Mac Pro and have figured out that your Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1 causes Bluetooth to become unavailable, which for me is a deal breaker.
    Here is how I get to the conclusion that your software is the issue:
    1. Clean install of Mountain Lion
    2. Install USB 3.0 Driver (Mac) 1.06B, reboot (Bluetooth fine)
    3. Install Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1, reboot, Bluetooth not available (jagged line through Bluetooth icon in menu bar, no Bluetooth item in System Preferences panel)
    When I remove this last item and restart Bluetooth comes back.
    I hope there is an urgency around a fix for this. Please let me know if you need any more information.

    Very quick response from Sonnet, known issue, they are working on it, no commitment on timing of fix.

  • Mountain Lion on Mac Mini - WiFi unstable for Internet Sharing

    I have a Mac Mini Mid 2010 MC270LL/A previously on 10.6.8 and everything worked fine.
    I have it plugged into a Plasma TV via HDMI and network via CAT6, but it also doubles as a WiFi access point via Internet Sharing.
    Previously WiFi was secured via WEP, I don't recall if 10.6.8 had anything stronger, most likely not, otherwise I would have gone WPA2.
    I have now done a clean install of 10.8. ie erase hard drive, boot from USB and lay down a clean install of Mountain Lion.
    Software update downloaded a new Firmware, which has also been applied and rebooted.
    Now I've set-up Internet Sharing, used same SSID (maybe should have picked a new one in hind-sight), but secured via WPA2 - the only option.
    Previously my Macbook Air 13" MC965LL/A, had undergone the same clean install treatment via wipe, then boot from USB and install 10.8.
    The Wifi worked flawlessly with Macbook Air on 10.8 connecting to Mac Mini on 10.6.8 (Secured via WEP), no drop outs, connected even after sleep.
    Even the power nap feature worked really well, I was impressed that when I open the lid on the Macbook Air, I had emails already waiting for me.
    Now with the Mac Mini on 10.8, it's a really sad state, constant WiFi dropouts, my File Sharing disappears, Screen Sharing stops, it's a real pain.
    I'm hoping it's not the new firmware, I guess I'll find out when I restore to 10.6.8 and see how it goes.
    Anyone else have issues with Mac Mini WiFi on 10.8 ?

    This is the System log on the Macbook Air while sleeping - connected with wifi to Mac Mini under 10.8

  • Mountain Lion killed my Office 2008 suite!

    Mountain Lion disabled my Office 2008 applications. I've tried installing the Office 2011 suite (don't have a key number for the 2008 version, so downloaded a 30-day trial version of 2011, it's also having stumbling/locking up). Should I simply uninstall Mountain Lion?
    I really, really want to go back to yesterday, and not messing around with this. I'm also unable to migrate my old Entourage e-mail to Mail, so am completely cut off from my mail archive. Ugh.
    Another question: is it possible to use Time Machine to simply set my entire system back one day? Would that have the same effect as an uninstall?
    Thanks!
    Tom

    Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't think I have an alternative to uninstalling, since I didn't export my Entourage info before installing Mountain Lion. Otherwise, I'd consider saying goodbye to Microsoft at this point.
    When I look at the Time Machine contents for the date that I want to revert to, it shows simply the changed files for that backup -- which makes me nervous, but I'm assuming that the reinstall will take all files in Time Machine from that date, backward..? Time Machine is my only desktop backup.
    Thanks!
    Tom

  • Mountain Lion killing my system!!

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago shortly after it came out, my system is still running really poorly... I've hoped to give it time to settle down, for updates, and so on, but everything works very slow, transistions poorly, and it seems to hate my Adobe CS 5.5.
    It's especially bad when I swtich from one application to another, such as InDesign to Illustrator, or from CS to Safari, or just try to close a program ofter using it for a while. Safari freezes constantly, which is something I had never experienced before with OS 10.7. Processes run slow on a regular basis in all the CS programs, and Pages or Numbers, and I get the rainbow wheel all the time in just about every program, and sometimes I get the little blue wheel with 4 quadrants. Closing Adobe CS programs has become something I've had to do when I'm not using them, in the hopes to free up RAM or processes or whatever for others, but they usually crash or just don't close when I do that. I never had to do that before 10.8.
    I don't want to exaggerate which might impede anyone steering me in the right direction, but it really is as bad as I am trying to succinctly illustrate. Beyond this, my fan seems to ALWAYS be running - honestly about 75% of the time, and it always feels like it is running hot. I have to say, this is the worst experience with a new OS since OS 10 first came out around 11 or so years ago, or whatever it was. 10.7 always worked very well for me, especially with CS and other programs - I've never been at such a loss as to how to fix an OS issue.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I have 4GB of RAM, and the early 2011 MacBook Pro (bought in July of 2011) with a 2.2 Intel i7. 21" LG LED monitor as the main display, running the laptop as the second window.

    Thanks for sending that, but I've looked the activity monitor a lot recently. What are you suggesting that I do with this?
    I've shut down my Adobe CS, and one or two other things I'm not using. But what about when I am using them? Why is 10.8 sucking up so much RAM, when 10.7 ran really well?

  • Mountain Lion kills bluetooth, trackpad gestures

    I have latest gen iMac.   After Mountain Lion upgrade.   No bluetooth is available though my keyboard and trackpad connect.   Keyboard acts generics with no top row keys working and trackpad has lost gestures.  Machine does see a trackpad in system prefs.
    Is this release garbage??? 

    Okay, I just found another thread that solved it for me.
    Go to this thread and on the second page near the bottom you'll find a thread by joe81tx. Even though my "Disable automatic login" box was already unchecked and I couldn't find anything about name and password, and I figured that it wasn't going to work ... it did.
    I hope it works for you.

  • Mountain lion kills my battery

    I have a mid-2009 MacBook pro.  When running Lion, my battery life was around six hours.  After installing mountain lion, my battery life is about an hour and fifteen minutes.

    I am also having battery problems since installing ML.  This is a MBP 13" early 2011 purchased August 2011, and before ML battery gave 7 7.5 hours. I recently monitored consumption running Safari, iTunes, Thunderbird.
    time          %age Battery          Hours left
    18.30               92                         6.53
    18.45               88                         6.39
    19.00               84                         5.04
    19.30               76                         5.11   
    19.45               72                         5.02
    20.00               71                         3.52 
    21.45               44                         3.06
    So in 2 1/4 hours used over 50% of battery.   No good when I want to work away from base.
    Are Apple really aware if this and are they working on an upgrade.  I don't want to revert to Lion as there are so many good new features in ML,  also am getting the 'beach ball' several times when opening sites in Safari.

  • Does Mountain Lion kill Macs?

    I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air last night. Went to start it up today...Nothing. Nada. Not so much as a whirr from the drive.
    The only thing that's different is the new OS. I've tried all the usual combinations of keys suggested to get a Mac going again, but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

    Yes, it is valid outside of USA. Please visit http://www.apple.com/asia/osx/uptodate/thailand/ and claim it. Make sure you read the information there carefully.

  • Upgrade to Mountain Lion kills Quicken access??

    I just upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion, and now can't use my Quicken 2007 (Apple support didn't tell me that would happen). How can I get to my Quicken files to pay my bills? If I had known I would lose my Quicken, especially when I have bills to pay and statements to balance, I wouldn't have upgraded all the way to Mountain Lion. Help!!

    This wouldn't be Apples responsibilty. Ideally, you should have checked to make sure Quicken 2007 was comaptible with 10.8 before upgrading.
    Check with the developer of Quicken:
    This is what I found, Only seems to be up to 10.7..

    then this indicates it may be fine

    Check with Quicken for updates for the software, Hope this helps.
