Problem with mail after mountain lion install

Mail has become sluggish to locking up after Mountain Lion install. I get the color wheel each time I start typing in an address to send an email. I also get the wheel when i am typing an address or name in any web page in Safari. Is this a Mail Problem or an Address Book problem?

It sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned up. Have your repaired permissions or cleared caches since you got the computer. Often times when upgrading operating systems permissions get screwed up and it causes issues. Go to disk utility in your "other" folder in applications. Select disk utility, then on the left hand side choose Mac HD then click REPAIR permissions in the center section. Wait for it to finish, restart your computer, then test.

After Mountain Lion install, my MacBook Pro's fan is running non-stop.

After Mountain Lion install, my MacBook Pro's fan is running non-stop and you can hear the insides working extra hard. Is this normal? It's very loud and annoying?

Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

Hi There,

Mac stuck on startup screen after Mountain Lion install

After installing Mountain Lion my Mac restarted and has been on the startup screen (apple logo with loading icon spinning) for the last hour... I'm assuming this means my hard drive crashed during the install? What ***** is this happened when I installed Lion the first time. Wasn't a cheap fix and lost everything.

Similar if not the very same issue with my late 2009 iMac since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
First time I've seen actual script - DOS-like text (well, Linux or UNIX or whatever it is) that only seems to appear from a cold boot.
First time this happened I held down the power button until the system restarted.
Second time around - and from a cold boot - I entered "/exit" at the prompt and the system appears to have continuted the boot process.
Someone in another post added the following:
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem startup for clues.
...but from this I still coudn't see where the error lies. :/

Durin Mountain lion install, Mac loops endlesslu as pert of restart

During Mountain Lion install, the Mac loops forever on restart. Download seemed to go ok, albeit very slow, bt now it is trying to restart continuously. What can I do from here? Thank you.

I am assuming that it was Lion Recovery that allowed me to do that.
Yes.
I do have antivirus installed, so I guess my next step would be to disable that and turn off the firewall, then try the install again. That will have to happen another day, as I have to work on other things. Thank you!
Ok. Keep us posted ... you're welcome

After Mountain Lion install, my iMac powers off instead of just going to sleep. Help? Thanks.

After I installed Mountain Lion on my 2009 iMac, it will power off after I don't use it a while. It used to just go to sleep, I'd shake the mouse, and it would come back up. Now it powers off and I have to power it back up every time.
My Macbook has NOT had this problem since Mountain Lion install. It is fine.

Do these resets to clear errant commands:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Trackpad issues after mountain lion install

Since my Mountain Lion install, the trackpad on my 15" MBP will track, but won't select anything. Hot corners aren't working, the dock won't appear, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?

Got similar issues, no notifications and no switching between full screen apps (4fingerswipe). Some swipe features work, no secondary click in bottsom corners...Trackpad operational under Mountain Lion a total nuisance compared to Snow Leopard...PLease Apple, show some respect again to your faithfull customers and show some response!

MAC kernel panic after Mountain Lion install

Mac Kernel Panic has now started on my tower after i installed Moountain Lion.
I could not live with it and run my business so i had to get a new machine.
The tempertures are running the same on the new machine so it is NOT the temperture.
Apple support tried replacing one of my Nvita graphics cards to no avail.
Now they want to replace the second one.
Really??
What do you think???

Disconnect all external devices besides Apple keyboard and mouse, then see what happens.
If you don't get any kernel panics, then try connecting devices one at a time and test for a few days or until you get another KP.
I just read another post which stated there were several threads listing problems with the dual GT 120 cards and Mountain Lion. So, you might search out those if it doesn't turn out to be one of the attached devices.

My Mac keeps restarting after Mountain Lion install

In installed Mountain Lion and now my Mac keep rebooting. I am getting an error that there is a problem with starting up. I am able to access my computer by using safe mode but as soon as restart it, it keeps rebooting once again. Please help.

com.trendmicro.kext.KERedirect
com.globaldelight.driver.BoomDevice
The trendmicro kext is likely the problem. Don´t know about the other one. You can probably start up in Safe Mode (boot with Shift-key) and uninstall the app from there, or check if there is an update to the program.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19042643#19042643#19042643
Boot on Safe Mode and then go into the library and get rid of TrendMicro files. There are other threads right now on this so do a quick search and give it a try.

Mac Mini crash after Mountain Lion install!

I just tried to update my wife's MacMini to Mountain Lion and when it went through the first restart, it never came back up. I checked to see if it was the monitor after searching here for a while, I am using a Samsung TV coming off the HDMI port. I plugged in a regular monitor to the mini display port and still nothing. I tried to do a hard restart after letting it sit for about 10 min and now it sounds like the hard drive is barely spinning up. Anybody have any ideas?

Oh. You are so in jail.
Plug the mini straight into the wall power supply.
You do have 4 - 8GB memory installed, right?
Disconnect everything but power and the display port to regular monitor connection. Make sure that external monitor is switched to the type of connection: DVI, HDMI, VGA. Wrong setting and your mini could be booted up sneering at you from behind a dark screen.
Boot mini.
Any change?

Running hot after mountain lion install

Hello,
I just installed Mountain Lion last night. I had no issues at all. Checked out some of the different new features and all seemed to work fine.
But this morning after I turned my MacBook Pro back on is where I noticed something odd. I was using messages and also Safari. It was working great. My baterry was at 99% when I first turned it on. After about an hour of use I noticed the battery down to 67% and that Safari was not running as quick. It's not that it was not responding just running slow. Real slow. So I turned it back off and let it sit for a half hour and started it back up. Seems to running ok now. I even have a few programs open as well as the last time.
I just wanted to post here to see if anyone else had this issue. I think it's isolated and maybe some things didn't boot enough after install. Thoughts on this from anyone is greatly appreciated. Again it is runing fine and the slowing issue does not seem to be there now.
Thank You

Yes, me too. My Activity Monitor shows Safari Web Content absolutely destroying the CPU, exceeding 100%. Slows the whole system up just browsing.
Just compared browsing a facebook album in Chrome and Safari 6. Safari crawls through it with the CPU jumping immediately to over 90% while Chrome's processes barely ever reach 20%.
Also read this which suggests Spotlight's indexing is a potential cause but on my MBP (late 2011) Spotlight isn't shown as active:

and also the CPU only runs hot while on Safari. Processor-heavy XCode consistently runs fine.
Assume a Safari bug. Anyone else experiencing this?
UPDATE: Restarting Safari makes a massive difference both to the real memory and the %CPU figures.

After Mountain-Lion-Install no App Store Access

After having installed Mountain Lion I can't access the App Store anymore. It speaks of an inexistant internet connection, altough I am able to surf with Safari. Some pages like outlook.com and the iTunes store are defectively loaded (layout is not shown correctly). Also Safari has certificate problems (but I suppose this is due to missing updates). May there be a connection to an older problem I have? From time to time I have to restart the wifi connection because of "having passed the time limit".
I have already tried to fix the problem by repairing the permissions and resetting Safari and by changing DNS-Server to 8.8.4.4. and 8.8.8.8.
Thank you very much

Problem fixed: it was a certificate problem.

Then you need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard. You cannot install Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion without first erasing the hard drive if you don't have Snow Leopard installed. You cannot reinstall Snow Leopard without a Snow Leopard DVD.
Upgrading to 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.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
