Retina Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion freezes with Time Machine

I have a new MBP Retina, it crashes more than any other mac I've owned in the past 18 years! If it turn Time Machine off, it becomes much more stable, but I now dont have a back up (I kept getting the 'sparse bundle in use already" error so I wiped my time machine a,d reset everything).
Ive done a clean reinstall, zapped PRAM, reset all system settings, and it still wont run unless time machine is turned off. Is this a common issue and can we expect a fix soon?

screen freezes, no keys or mouse work, have to hard restart .
happens during a host of different activities with different software open, during back ups, installing other programmes etc. screen wouldnt work when it had gone to sleep. I only turned time machine off because i couldnt get the mac running for long enough to do a back up, then hey presto, it hasnt crashed since!

Brand new MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion and latest Time Capsule

Will the latest version of Time Capsule (2TB) - MDO 032 LL/A work with my brand new late 2012 Mac Book Pro recently received with Mountain Lion (version 10.8.1). Are there any issues?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Restoring macbook pro with time machine

I have a macbook pro and I since putting Leopard on it (Archive and install) I am having all kinds of applications crashing and freezing. I am making my first time machine back up right now. What I want to know is if after the back up is done I want to do a clean install of Leopard and the restore my data and applications.
Will I be able to restore all my applications as well as my data from time machine? Or will I have to go to all my applications websites and re-download the programs?
Thank you
Joe

Joe,
With a complete Time Machine backup, you can completely restore everything. When you boot to the Leopard Install disk, and after you have used Disk Utility (from the installer's "Utilities" menu) to format (erase) your hard drive, you can use the "Restore From a Time Machine Backup" utility. Open this from the "Utilities" menu, just as you do Disk Utility. Obviously, you'll need the backup drive connected and powered on at the time.
This said, I'm not sure that you want to use this. If you have a damaged system, that damage will undoubtedly be reproduced in your Time Machine backup. There is even the possibility that the backup is not "viable" enough to be restored in this manner.
I recommend you give it a try, anyway. Restoring from a Time Machine backup takes considerably less time than a "normal" installation; you will only waste minimal time, if the restoration or the resultant installation fails.
If you do run into problems, you can reinstall normally (from the Leopard disk) and restore your files from the Time Machine afterward. In this case, I recommend that your applications be reinstalled again manually.

Help Help..Can not back up my Macbook Pro with Time Machine

I have Mac Book Pro Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and Time capsule 802.11n (3rd generation), I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop, it did not work. so i did reset on Time Capsule/Machine and didnt work. Show error 1) Time Machine could not comple Back Up (The back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"could not be created (error 1) and then different time i tried got different error 2) Time Machine Could Not Complete (the back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"couldnot be created (error 60)..please advise

The TC drive is network and will never show up in disk utility.
You can mount the sparse bundle into the utility and do a check on it.. but that serves little purpose.
I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop,
It is highly likely the setup is wrong.
Please do a full factory reset of the TC.
The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Redo the setup using the airport utility. For older OS and TC you can do this by ethernet with wireless turned off if you like.
Tell us the main modem router and how the TC was originally setup.. if it was in bridge mode.. then put the TC back in bridge and plug it into the router.
If there are issues they will show up in the airport utility. Please list any issues it has.

Import photos from old powerbook to new macbook pro with time machine

Today I received a new macbook pro from Apple because my powerbook g4 was beyond repair. I would like to import my iPhoto library from my time machine backup to the new computer. I have opened up iPhoto and then time machine but it is only showing me today, not what's been backed up on the harddrive. Can anyone tell me what to do to focus it to what was backed up, not just today?
Thank you so much for your help.

In System Preferences, Sharing, is the Computer Name of the new MacBook the same as the old PB? If not, right-click the Time Machine icon in the dock and choose +Browse Other Time Machine disks+. It should be obvious where to go from there.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP. If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

Or you can get an all in one:

If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:

Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later. Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks
Tauheed

My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8 is freezing often. What should I do?

My MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion 10.8.3 has been very sluggish recently. It freezes often.It is slow downloading from the Internet. Applications are slow to load and sometimes freeze in mid use. If I accidentally click on something that I didn't want to do, and then reclick what I wanted, it gets frozen and seems to take forever to straighten itself out. I try to Force Quit,a dn many times nothing happens.

Try getting the free "Preference Manger" applicaiton from Digital Rebellion (dot com). Use it to trash the FCP X preference files. See if that helps.
Also, on the new Mac, go into the App Store, under the Store menu, make sure you are signed in.

HT1619 How do I disconnect an Apple remote from my MacBook Pro w/ Mountain Lion update?

My friend set up Apple TV while I was using my laptop in the same room and the remote is now connected to my laptop. I've looked at a bunch of different sites and forums trying to figure out how to disconnect it and it seems that with the new Mountain Lion operating system, there is no way to do this. PLEASE HELP it's driving me crazy because everytime he presses a buttom on the remote, it interferes with what I'm doing.

Sorry, but my late 2009 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion continues to be be controlled by the ATV2 remote after disabling remotes in system preferences. Anyone else having the issue or has a solution?
Cheers!

Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.
