My mountain lion upgrade is take long after the initial installation finished it is showing increasing negative number like -50 munites remaining while still saying installing os x on the disk.
I mean it starting saying time remaining about 6 munites
Now it up to time remaing about -55 munites
I thing something is wrong with this installation and all I did is fallow the onscreen instruction
Thank
You might want to just manually power down your machine and, if necessary, start the installation process anew. You're unlikely to damage anything by doing this. It may have actually installed and is just hanging when it's supposed to reboot.
Good luck,

How do I download Mountain Lion onto my other iMac, after the initial install?
I am wondering how to download Mountain Lion onto my second iMac, after the initial install. I understand the purchase is for multiple computers, but I have completed the install on my first iMac.
Once you’ve purchased Mountain Lion, find the installer on your Mac. It’s called Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and it should have been downloaded to your main Applications folder (/Applications).
Right-click (or Control+click) the installer, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu.
In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support; you’ll see a disk image file called InstallESD.dmg.
Launch Disk Utility.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disk image into the bottom (empty area) of Disk Utility’s sidebar (on the left).
In Disk Utility, select InstallESD.dmg in the sidebar, and then click the Open button in the toolbar to mount the disk image’s volume in the Finder. The mounted volume is called Mac OS X Install ESD, and it also appears below InstallESD.dmg in Disk Utility.
Select Mac OS X Install ESD in Disk Utility’s sidebar, then click the Restore button in the main part of the window.
Drag the Mac OS X Install ESD icon into the Source field on the right (if it isn’t already there).
Connect to your Mac the properly formatted hard drive or flash drive you want to use for your bootable Mountain Lion installer.
In Disk Utility, find this destination drive in the left-hand sidebar and then drag it into the Destination field on the right. (If the destination drive has multiple partitions, just drag the partition you want to use as your bootable installer volume.) Warning: The next step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
Click Restore, and then Erase in the dialog box that appears; if prompted, enter an admin-level username and password.
How to make a bootable Mountain Lion install drive

I have recently bought an 8Gb macbook pro. If I update it to mountain lion will it take half of the memory I have?
Well thats upto you but before any major update a backup is recommended, you should also be backing up your system as a matter of good housekeeping.
Time machine makes this very easy, you will require an external disk at least twice the size * of your hard drive in you Mac. Connect it to you Mac with USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, whatever you wish. You can use Time Machine to take a backup of the hard drive.
If you are unfortunate and have a hard drive fail you can recover all your data very easily.
Apple also sell a product called Time Capsule http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/ but I just use an External Disk.
*** Twice the size may be a bit excessive, it depends on how full your hard drive is and how much you expect it to fill.*** -
After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my Mac cannot access the data disk on the Time Capsule. Who else is having this problem and have you been able to solve it?

I use Grapher 2D 3D on my early 2006 iMac, but I tried it on my wife's Macbook Pro with Lion then Mountain Lion : no problem with Grapher 2.1 3D gcx files, Grapher 2.3 loves them !
You can try the 3D Grapher 2.1 files from the website http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/ and see the result on your Mac Mountain Lion.
I updated Grapher documentation and bugs of this website on 15th december 2012 (Lion, then Mountain Lion).
Au revoir,

One of the reason for using firefox was its ability to be up and ready to use very quickly (I was one of the earliest users. )Now Google and dare I say it int explorer seem to have the edge
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":<br />
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile<br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.<br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.<br />

Can't login after Mountain Lion upgrade (Network accounts are unavailable)
I performed a Mountain Lion upgrade on a 2011 MBP running Lion this weekend. The Mac may have been set up to connect to an AD server with my user account, but I thought I had disabled that months ago... aparently not. I performed the upgrade at home not on the corporate network.
On first bootup after the Mountain Lion upgrade I'm stuck at the login screen unable to login with my local account or the admin account. I get the "red dot" next to the username field with the "Network accounts are unavailable" pop up. I'm plugged in to the ethernet network at work now... no luck.
I tried booting into the repair disk and repairing disk permissions. Still no luck.
Any ideas? I'd happily do a fresh install but I need to get a handful of files off the machine first.No worries with the basic questions... it's important to cover all the bases. Thanks so much for the input.
- I'm trying to log in with the same username I would use to ssh in... so yes.
- I don't know if the account was a mobile account. The Mac was given to me configured about a year ago, configured to be on the domain. I since have used it on and off many networks without considering it was set up to be on a domain.
- Never had a problem logging into the machine before the mountain lion install, although to be honest it was very very rarely ever rebooted.
- I've plugged it into ethernet and let it sit for quite some time. It's still telling me Network accounts are unavailable and I'm unable to login with my personal or admin account. -
I got a macbook pro retina and when the mountain lion upgrade was release, I purchase the upgrade instead of waiting the redemption code. Is there any way to get a redemption code and get a refund of the upgrade paid for?
thanksYou could try contacting Customer Relations 800-767-2775

After upgrading to mountain lion e-mail no longer pushes to my i-Phone
after upgrading to mountain lion e-mail no longer pushes to my i-Phone I have to launch the mail app on phone to retrieve mail now
The OS on your Mac has nothing to do with behavior of email on your iPhone. The only thing I can imagine is that Mail on your Mac may be receiving messages and marking them as "read" before your iPhone has a chance to receive them. What kind of email account are you talking about here!

Time Machine best practices after Lion to Mountain Lion upgrade
I've made the upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and everything seems to be OK.
I have been using Time Machine for backups since I deployed my first and, so far, only Mac (Mac Mini running Lion) in 2011. I run my TM backups manually. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have not yet kicked off a TM backup, so my questions involve best practices with TM after an upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion:
Can I simply use the same drive as I use currently, do what I've always done, start the backup manually, and TM handles gracefully the new backup from the new OS?
At this point, since I have only backups to the Lion system, what I see when I doubleclick on the Time Machine drive is a folder called “Backups.backupdb”, then a subfolder called “My Mac mini”, and then all the backup events. Nothing else. What will I see once I do a backup now, after the Mountain Lion upgrade?
If I for some reason needed to boot to my old Lion system (I cloned the startup disk prior to upgrading to ML) and access my old Lion backups with TM, would I be successful? In other words does the system know that I'm booted to Lion, so give me access to the TM backups created under Lion? Conversely when booted to the new Mountain Lion system, will I have access only to the backups created since the upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Any other best practices steps I should take prior to my first ML backup?
Time Machine is a great straightforward system to use (although I have to say I’ve not (yet) needed to depend on it for recovery...I trust that will go will when needed) but I don't want to make any assumptions as to how it works after a major OS upgrade.
Thank you for reading.1. Correct. If you want to downgrade to OS X Lion, your Mac will still keep backups created with OS X Lion, so just start into Internet Recovery and select one of the backups made with OS X Lion. If you don't want that Time Machine backs up automatically, you may need to use TimeMachineEditor.
2. After making a backup with Mountain Lion, it will be the same, but with a new folder that belongs to the new backup you have created.
3. See my first answer.
4. One advice: when your Time Machine drive gets full, Time Machine deletes old backups, so maybe it can remove all your OS X Lion backups. However, I don't think that you would need to go back to OS X Lion.
If you have any questions apart from those, see Pondini's website > http://pondini.org -
Macbook keeps restarting after ram and mountain lion upgrade
I installed an 8gb ram from OWC to my macbook (late 2008 aluminum body model) and upgraded to mountain lion after having leopard for years. I decided to erase the hard disk completely and upgrade to snow leopard and then download the mountain lion software. I had installed the new 8Gb ram on leopard before any of the two upgrades. Ever since I had the upgrade the computer restarts randomly and takes me to a grey screen saying than an error ocurred. It mostly happens when watching netflix or any other type of streaming video. I tried using chrome and firefox and it only helped for a little bit. I had to take my macbook to my local apple store to get it checked and apparently the ram was not positioned correctly. After they "positioned correctly" the computer worked fine. But now a few hours later I'm back at my apartment and the computer keeps restarting. Please help me with the issue.

ICal sync with gcal broken after Mountain Lion upgrade
Is anyone else seeing that iCal events created in iCal no longer sync into GCal after the Mountain Lion upgrade?
I'm running OSX 10.8 and iCal 6.
I have a google calendar account configured in iCal, and iCal has no problems reading/sync'ing events that are created directly in Google Calendar. It also has no problems seeing free/busy information of people in my Google Calendar account when I create a new event in iCal. However, when I create an event in iCal, the event never ends up in Google Calendar.
This problem didn't used to exist before I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I haven't changed anything in the settings since my upgrade.
The problem doesn't exist in my iPhone, which is still working properly.
Thanks,
Bobhttp://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/X5EAUGxemic%5B1-25%5D
The problem seems to be in the Delegates. I followed the instructions in the above, setting up google calendars as CalDAV and using the calendar ID. But tedious but at least its working until apple get their act together and fix it! -
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.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. -
After upgrading to Mountain Lion I am not able to access "security and privacy" button under "system preferences". I like to activate "find my mac" but cannot access privacy setting after upgrade. Kindly advice.

I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP. HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' . Does anyone know how to do this?
HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture
(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway. -
after downloading Mountain Lion, I can no longer print! My MAC see's the printer, even nozzle check works, but cant print anything!!
sorry!!! It is a Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW.
Have made sure all ML / Apple updates are done. Checked the Epson site and there are no updates for 10.8
