Mountain Lion will not open Security & Privacy

When I attempt to open Privacy & Security under System Preferences it just shows the "wait" disc and never opens.  I have to force quit System Preferences.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite.

    Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite.  How can I convert it to open?

    After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before.  Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
    So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded.  It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly.  And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
    "Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Check if there are any updates available for the application."
    How can I re-install just Mail?  A startup disk is not accessible for me right now.  Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?

  • How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

    Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
    If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
    Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
    If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
    First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
    Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
    Then, follow the steps above.
    Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

    Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store.  It has been purchased and redeemed.  I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow.  I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again).  When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad.  I have tried this several times.  I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air.  I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again.  Same results.  Anyone?

    Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
    But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • HT4854 Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    My download took many many hours.  Not sure if that is because of our ISP or load on the network.  I also thought nothing was happening for my download.  Try this:
    Open App Store,
    click on Purchased
    You'll see Mountain Lion being downloaded and it will show the progress and estimated time to complete. 
    Take deep breaths and be patient.

    Mountain Lion will not download to my iMac, "The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed."

    I have this problem also. I was able to download Mountain Lion to my daughter's Mac Mini without any trouble. However, I can't download this to my MacBook Pro. I have read other sites that suggest VirusBarrier is the problem and recommend turning it off in VirusBarrier>Preferences>Advanced. I have tried this and it still doesn't work, although some report that it has worked for them.

  • Mountain lion will not download to my MacBook

    Purchased Mountain Lion in the App store from my MacBook Pro (early '11 version).  All software was updated.  Would not download, instead got a window stating that the product distribution file could not be verified, it may be damaged or was not signed.  Tried to download it to my iMac and it worked just fine.  Also, after NEW updates on my MacBook, Safari will not open.

    What happens when you attempt the purchase?
    Error messages?
    Does your Mac meet all the requirements?

    Pages08 on my new MacBookPro/Lion will create new Pages08 docs but will not open Pages08 docs emailed from my iMac.
    There is something odd in this message.
    Even under Lion, Pages 08 is able to open Pages 08 documents created by Pages 09.
    I guess that the OP made a typo and that the docs were created as Pages 09 documents.
    In theory, the availability of iWork 08 on a machine is not supposed to disable the ability to buy Pages 09 thru the MAS because the iWork 08 registration scheme is not the same than the iWork 09 one.

  • Safari will not open secure sites

    Safari will not open any secure sites with a secure login. Anyone have an idea why?

    Same issue here and yes, I can get to the secure sites using Firefox, Camino & Opera and no, when logged into the new user account I still can't access secure sites with Safari.
    Also, I have been unable to purchase anything off of iTunes since this issue started. Does iTunes use Safariin some way? Any idea why the two things seem to be linked?
    After successfully browsing Music Store & selecting the desired purchase, I hit the "Buy" button and get an error message saying that iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. "An unknown error ocurred (0x80010003)." It suggests I make sure my network connection is active & try again, but I'm clearly online.

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Mountain lion will not install because time machine uses hard drive for back up.  What should I do?

    I have downloaded Mountain Lion but it will not allow me to install because the time machine uses the hard drive to back up.  How do I solve this problem?

    Unless you are trying to install on an external hard drive that actually has been used for Time Machine backups, this is usually caused by having a folder named "Backups.backupd" on your hard drive somewhere. It may be at the root level of the hard drive, but may also be elsewhere. Try searching for it, and then delete it. (You shouldn't need it.)

  • Mountain lion will not allow me to download an emailed photo directly to iPhoto

    Since I downloaded Mountain Lion, my iMac lost the capability of saving an emailed photo in iPhoto. The only way I can save the photo - is drag it directly to iPhoto, or drag (multiple) photos to desktop and then drag into iPhoto.Apple Care tells me it's one of the glitches of Mtn Lion.
    has anyone figured out a way around it?

    Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?

  • Sleeping Mountain Lion will not wake up

    I have just update to Mountain Lion on my 27inch iMac .
    Once it goes to sleep automatcially it will not wake up again. I need to press the power button and reboot the whole system which loses any work I am doing
    There was no problem with Lion. The machine would wake up via the mouse click or enter on the keyboard
    Has anyone else experience this problem and is ther a setting that neds to be changed somewhere

    I suspect now that some widgets, and apps are setting bad hibernatemodes.
    source: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19066192#19066192#19066192
    I used pmset -g, and it said I was in hibernatemode 5. I set this (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0) closed the lid, and it came back up. I set it to 3, and the same. I moved over to my widget, and set it. Checked my mode, and it was back to 5.
    I used `man pmset` it said to only use mode 0, 3, and 25! No others! I again set it (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25) this time to 25, and it seems to work fine.
    I suspect Apple made changes to their power managment, and disabled older modes. They should have set this correctly in our upgrades, instead of letting us figure it out.
