Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.
If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

why does Mountain Lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too? Please help!

Two different streamings on two AppleTV at the same time?
Hey guys, I'd like to buy a second Apple TV.
First:
Is it possible to stream different content on each AppleTV at the same time by using one computer with only one iTunes?
Second:
If the first question is answerred by "no", is it possible to stream the SAME content on the second AppleTV at the same time?
Thx 4 helping out. By the way, sorry if my english sounds bad, but I am from GermanyMMWH wrote:

Yes that's possible, I do it all the time with multiple Apple TV's, it's worth mentioning though that the more streams you have running the better your network will need to be.
Second:
If the first question is answerred by "no", is it possible to stream the SAME content on the second AppleTV at the same time?
The first answer is yes but to answer this one too:
Yes its possible to stream the same content to both Apple TV's at the same time. Although it's worth mentioning that at the same time means at very nearly the same time, I wouldn't want to imply the streams would be in sync. Basically you could start a movie from one Apple TV then go to the second one and start the same (or indeed a different) movie. -

2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow. It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot. Once booted it is normal. Turning off airport changes nothing. Hardline adapter is not plugged in. Thunderbolt adapter is not used. Bluetooth is off. Did this out of box. Identical MBP boots to login screen in 36 seconds. Disk repair, permission repair, and safe mode boot have
already been done, no change. Boot time is consistent. Hangs at the same place each time. Right after post. Bad adapter?
Comments, solutions please.... and so ... now a few days later, success. I ran
your software but it told me nothing I hadn 't seen
in verbose boot.
Consistently, following good post, the boot hung
for 30 seconds on the adapters, (cards, chips, NICs.
Ethernet cards, whatever you prefer to call them)
either the airport card or the hard line. It would then
proceed at normal pace to the login screen.
Since it came out of the box that way, software
conflict was not a go. I guessed glitched driver or
fetch instruction. I zapped the PRAM (cleared
NVRAM) and reloaded the OS, updates, Garage Band,
iPhoto (one of Apple's true dogs in an otherwise
rare arena) iMovie, Photoshop, Lightroom, their
updates, and my files. MBP pro now boots to login
in 31 seconds. Note I have turned off as much gee
whiz, rubber band scroll, global swiping and other
hubcaps and hood ornaments as befits how like
things ... and turned off all the Asian and other fonts
I will. ever use.
Best guess ... corrupt driver or corrupt fetch script ...
bad server squirt at factory load.
Thanks for your help, Cheers! -
I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.
Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
Apple to be checked. -
Is there a way to open different books on various apps at the same time like in android devices?
hello good peolpe, i bought an ipad mini retina for books reading and i would like to know if there is a way i can open a book with different apps like i do on android device where you can use various apps to open differents books at the same time, i would like to also know if there is a way to do the same thing but with power point and word files, and how can i open them on my ipad and transfer them, thanks every one for their time
Currently you can't. Maybe in iOS 8 that will be released soon.
Cheers, Tom -
Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.
You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Hello,
I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class. I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me. How do I do this? I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

Different OS X's installed at the same time
Is it possible to have different OS X's installed in different partitions at the same time?
Niel wrote:
Yes. Choose Utilities from the Finder's Go menu, use the Disk Utility to create as many partitions as you need, and install a different Mac OS X version onto each.

Hi, Niel!
Thanks for your answer. But it leads me to another question: in case of different OS's installed, would I be allowed to choose which one to start the machine? Besides, would I need to clone my personel files on each platform, or would I have access to the same one folder regardless the OS? -
I have two ipads using the same apple id. My 3 year old uses one to play learning games. How do I set them up so my apps arent displayed on her ipad?
When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
On the iPad itself, it's under
Settings
iTUnes and App Stores
and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices. -
Mountain Lion takes a long time to shut down. Much longer then Lion.

Why does Mountain Lion triggers front fan in Mac Pro?
Hi all, this is my first visit to this community and I hope there won't be much more .
I bought a new SSD drive for my Mac Pro (early 2008). I had to install it from my Macbook Pro because Leopard in the Mac Pro wouldn't allow me to.
Neither I could perform a bootable USB clean install since the Mac Pro didn't show the device in the drive selection splash screen.
Then I put the SSD back into the Mac Pro and eureka, everything worked just fine. After about 30 seconds with the desktop in front of me, the front fan of the Mac triggered like if it was a constant reboot. However, the system worked just fine with no trouble but the annoying noise of the fan.
It's an OS related problem because this doesn't happen in Leopard. Any idea what went wrong?Faulty installation. Why could you not install the SSD in the Mac Pro running Leopard? Why are you running Leopard in the Mac Pro instead of upgrading it to Mountain Lion? Try doing it this way. Put the SSD into the Mac Pro.
Erase and Install
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. After formatting finishes quit DU and return to the installer. Install Leopard onto the SSD.
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 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?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Why does Mountain Lion stop downloading at 10mb?! HELP!
I keep trying to update my operating system to Mountain Lion. Everytime I download it, it downloads up to 10mb and then restarts back to zero. It does this
three times and then gives me this error: "The application could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again" I have done EVERYTHING I have read online from other discussion groups and websites. My internet connection is fine...I've even plugged my iMac directly into the cable and router....my computer is compatible, newer, and has enough memory....I've tried "unhiding" my update purchase...I've tried with my computer in safe boot mode... I have gone through every troubelshooting step I could find, and can't get mountain lion on! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
