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?

Pages keeps crashing after Mountain Lion install on Macbook

Hi, like others I am having issues with Pages. cannot open Pages since installing Mountain Lion on my macbook (2009) model. When I try to open a new document I get as far as the dialog box which shows previous doucments. When I try to open one or create a blank document Pages simply crashes with a crash log report window...My version of Pages is 4.2. Strangley enough my Pages works on my Imac, but not on my macbook. I have tried logging out of sharing via email and tried Icloud..all end up crashing.have rebooted, checked for updates etc..nothing is working and.was wondering what can we do?? thanks...

Try creating a new user account and see if the same thing happens in the new account. You'll have to create some test documents since there won't be any preexisting ones in the new account. If everything works in the new account, you know that the problem has something to do with your preferences, or font caches or something else particular to that one account where the app won't open. That narrows down the field of suspects.

Repair Disk Error during Mountain Lion Install 2010 Macbook Pro

Hello All,
Last night like many of you I downloaded Mountain Lion to update to the newest Apple OS. During the install procress I was told my Harddrive was corrupted and needed to be repaired. After running the Verify Disk utility the following errors came up
Checking Catalog file,
Incorrect number of thread records
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking catalog hierarcchy.
Invalid volume file count
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Then I used the repair utlity on the same screen.
The message was that it had attempted to repair it three times and it could not do so.
During the repair the error message incorrect number of thread records appeared twice.
Afterwards it no longer showed that harddrive as mounted and I cannot boot back into it. When booting it gives me the option of the Install Boot, the Recovery Boot, or my Windows Partition boot.
Two Questions
Is there a way to boot back into the OS to recover my files, I have most backed up but would like to get a few more on my external HD?
My other question is how can I sucessfully repair the disk so that I can do the above question and also install mountain lion.
Thank you,
Andrew

If you have no current backups, DO NOT TRY TO BOOT.
If you want to preserve the data on the internal drive(s), you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

I install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

I install mountain lion on my macbook pro late 2009 and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart

Restart your mac in Safe Mode by holding down the 'shift' key while it powers up. You'll know if you've entered Safe Mode correctly if you see a progress bar underneath the grey Apple logo screen. Let go of the shift key when you see that, wait for the progess bar to complete then log in.
After log in, go to
 > System Preferences... Users & Groups and remove everything from the 'Login Items' tab.
If you have any anti-virus software installed (Sophos, F-Secure, VirusBarrier, Mackeeper) uninstall it while in Safe Mode.
Restart your mac normally and test.
Any improvement?

How many times can I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?

My Macbook pro came with lion pre-installed. However, I bought at a time that allowed me to update to mountain lion for free. Therefore, I wanted to know if I will have to pay to re-download mountain lion on my Macbook pro if I have to restore the system to its factory settings?

No, since you have already "purchased" (even if for free) 10.8 on the App Store with your AppleID, you own it, so you can reinstall as much as you want.

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.

I bought mountain lion for my macbook pro and I'm trying to install it and it says there was an error and I need to boot up but I don't have any other start up disks to boot up with. Are there any suggestions of how I could get my computer started?

Hold the Option key down and restart. Select one of the drives that comes up and hit the Return key.

I've just installed mountain lion on my macbook pro. I cannot open preview and it is also stalling the log out sequence? How can I solve this

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Just an FYI, normally you give the 'solved' award to the person who gave you the answer, not to yourself.

I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing.

I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
- Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
- When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
Once again Thank you in advance.
Best.

There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
Look for this folder:
Drag it to the Trash.

I have iMac 27. After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again. anyone with same issue?

I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week. Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac. i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional. Anyone with same issue or ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

What day in July is Mountain Lion included on MacBook Pro purchase?

What day in July is Mountain Lion included on Macbook Pro purchase?

There's no telling when a Mac with Mountain Lion pre-installed will hit the stores. It all depends on when the factory begins installing OS X 10.8 on the drives. The Mac's at the store aren't necessarily 'old' - maybe a month old at best - and it's just going to take some time for the factory to catch-up with the latest OS.
I don't see any reason - other than not having an Internet connection - to put off the purchase of a Mac until it has Mountain Lion on it. When I bought my MBP in March, it was manufactured in the fifth week of 2012 - February - and I had to do some Software Updates. OS X 10.8 is just another update which you can choose to install or not. If you bought any Mac after June 11th, it's a free update.
You can wait to make a purchase after the stores get machines with ML installed but I don't see the point.
