If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?
I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

Can't see Airport Extreme after Snow Leopard Update
I'm running 10.6.2 with every update, and while I have no trouble connecting to my wifi network on the Airport Extreme (about 2 years old), I can't see it in the Airport Utility program (5.4.2) in order to administrate the hardware. I can see the Express that is also joined to the network set up on the Extreme and administrate that device fine.
Any ideas?
thanks,
-cWelcome to the discussions!
I think you meant to say that you can't "see" an AirPort Express. (The AirPort Extreme has no audio jacks to connect to a stereo system).
Try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) and open AirPort Utility to see if that helps locate the AX so you can check the configuration settings on the device. Once you have it adjusted and updated, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
If the ethernet hookup is not successful after a few tries, you will need to reset the AX back to factory defaults and then reconfigure it again. To do this:
Power down the AirPort Express for a few moments
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds
If you want to use wireless to reconfigure the AX, AirPort Utility should "see" it when you open the application. If no luck that way, then try the ethernet cable method. -

So if the vendor doesn't provide an uninstall program or instructions, we're just stuck with stuff we may no longer need?
Pretty much. You can always erase your hard drive and reinstall the OS. Some people may attempt to talk you through manually deleting files. I try very hard to avoid doing that because 100% of the time, the person I'm trying to help can't find the files and, instead, starts randomly deleting required system files. Then you have no choice but to reinstall the OS. -
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase or repartition the internal drive if needed, and install Mac OS X 10.6 onto a blank partition.
If you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone of 10.6, you can restore that instead of installing a new OS.

Installed Lion but I want run Snow Leopard as well
I have installed Lion but I am having some issues with some apps. I thought that I could install Snow Leopard as a virtual machine so I could use those apps in SL, and still keep Lion.
Is that possible? Should I buy Snow Leopard or can I install this virtual machine using the DVD that I got when I bought my Mac?Barry Fass-Holmes wrote:
Could you please provide evidence which supports your claim that it's "a myth?"
Not really. I also cannot provide evidence that the legends of King Arthur, or Atlantis, or Bigfoot are myths. The lack of evidence that they are true is enough to place them in the category of myth. The inability to prove them false does not make them true. The same holds for the myth that "Snow Leopard is not licensed to be run in a virtual machine on a host Mac running Lion." That can be disproved simply by reading the Snow Leopard SLA, in which no such prohibition exists.
I would be very interested in seeing where Apple's EULA for Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion provides permission for users to install Snow Leopard in a virtual machine.
It isn't there. The idea that "it must be prohibited because the license does not specifically allow it" is absurd. If that method of interpreting licenses were correct, I could claim that running OS X while drinking coffee, or while wearing a three piece suit, or on a Mac in which the Apple logo has been covered over with a Detroit Tigers logo, are all prohibited, because the SLA doesn't explicitly permit them. Those are all absurd, of course; it is not a violation of the SLA to do any of those things. So it is with running Snow Leopard in a virtual machine. The license says that it must be a single copy only, running on Apple hardware. Running Snow Leopard in a virtual machine on a Mac with Lion as the host OS complies with the "one copy on Apple hardware" terms.
Lion's and Mountain Lion's EULAs do provide permission to install Lion or Mountain Lion (respectively) in a VM, but my reading of the EULAs is that Apple does not permit installation of Snow Leopard in a VM.
The 10.7 and 10.8 SLAs permit users to run up to three copies of the software simultaneously, one "directly" and up to two more in "virtual operating system environments". The 10.6 and earlier SLAs say one copy only, with no restriction on whether it is directly or in a virtual operating system environment. The term "directly" was added in the 10.7 and 10.8 licenses; it was not there in 10.6 and earlier. One copy of 10.6 running on Apple hardware is one copy of 10.6 running on Apple hardware, whether in a virtual machine or not.
Nowhere in the 10.6 SLA does it say that installing Snow Leopard in a VM is prohibited. Someone started that rumour and it has become one of the most pervasive bits of computer folklore in history. It is a myth.
I would be more than happy for you to demonstrate that I am incorrect.
I hope I have been helpful; let me know if there is any other information you need. -

How can I find out if my mac mini running snow leopard can be upgraded to mountain lion?
I have a mac mini with sufficient ram for the mountain lion OS however, I am unable to determine if the machine was created in early 2009. Is there a way to make sure my machine will take the upgrade without purchasing the operating system first?
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 can 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 iCloud services; 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) — 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.
Are my applications compatible?

any ideas?HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Every time I turn my iMac on it will not connect to the internet until I open System Preferences / network / Assist me. that reports that my internet access appears to be OK, and hey presto my web home page appears, and everything if ok. The same happens if I have opened Mail, nothing until I've gone through the above proceedure.
This has been happening for a week.
The iMac uses Mountain Lion.
I have no such difficulty with my Macbook Pro which runs Snow Leopard.
I have deleted the safari caches and logs, to no avail.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Deerick.Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the grey Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.
