After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Mac Grapher will no longer load my 3D graph. "Grapher quit unexpectedly" every time. The graph is huge but it WOULD load eventually under snow leopard.
This is part of the error report. I can post the whole thing if it would help.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSMallocException', reason: 'NSImage: Insufficient memory to allocate pixel data buffer of 44800 bytes.

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,

After upgrading to aperture 3.3 on mountain lion aperture no longer recognizes DNG files.
I have many DNG files already in my library. Aperture shows the thumbnail and will briefly flash what I think is the preview of the file but quickly changes to a gray triangle saying "unsupported image format". After which the thumbnail is replaced with an all black thumbnail.
Needless to say this is extremely disconcerting. I am concerned that aperture is not only refusing to display the existing DNG files but is also simultaneously corrupting the library and destroying my existing images.
fwiw, these DNG files were generated with a leica.
I have not attempted to import DNG images into my aperture library but I assume that would not go well.Susan,
if it is the native raw format, that no longer is recognized, then try, if registering the CoreTypes.bundle with the OS again will help. This will tell MacOS which raw format types (and other media types) are supported.
Open a Terminal window and paste following line into the window, hit return. This is one very long line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
Regards
Léonie
P.S: Some browsers cause a blank to be inserted between /Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions
But it is "LaunchServices.framework", without blank. All in one line - the only blanks are needed between "lsregister" and "-R" and after "-R" . -
Lost my E: drive after upgrade to mountain lion
Hi,
I upgraded to Mountain Lion today and everything looked ok. However when I booted into windows 7 (boot camp), I found my E: drive missing.
Earlier with snow leopard, windows 7 would show me the following drives
(BootCamp) C:
(DVD RW Drive) D:
(My Data) E:
(Macintosh HD) F:
Now with mountain lion, windows 7 cannot find E:
A screen shot of my computer management window is below and it shows my earlier E: as unallocated.
Can I get my E: drive back?
Thanks in advance.After trying to rebuild my data for a month, I have got it all back today. Luckily I didnt need the data during this time. Ok below is the solution for others who find themselves in a similar situation.
Recap...
When I had Snow Leopard, I installed windows 7 with bootcamp. Within windows I resized my windows partition and created a new drive E:\ for my data files, Every thing was great and E:\ has all my data from over last year and a half. Also had set up my backup schedule to run once a week.
December 20th 2012 - D-Day
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the OS worked great. However when I booted into Windows 7, my E:\ has disappeared and my computer management widget shows an unallocated block where my E:\ once resided.
You can see screenshots of my partitions in both Windows 7 computer management and Mountain Lion Disk Layout in my posts above.
The Solution...
Looked for data recovery solutions online and homed in on EaseUs Partition Master at http://www.easeus.com/partition-recovery. Installed the free version in windows 7 and ran the Data Recovery ->Partition Recovery Wizard -> Search all lost files automatically.
It took a while, about 3-4 hours, but after that I could not believe my eyes when I saw my entire folder structure with all my files from my missing partition.
However the free edition only recovers 1 GB of data, so I went ahead and purchased it for $69.95.
This software does not recreate the partition, but allows you to restore the lost files and folders to an existing drive. It also warns you not to select the same disk as destination as it may overwrite the space used by the lost files thus preventing 100% recovery. So I went ahead and recovered the files to my pen drive.
Now I had to recreate the partition from the unallocated space in Windows7 computer management screen. But then I would again face this problem when upgrading to Mac OS X 11 in the future I will have to redo these steps again. So I decided to configure the partition in OS X rather than windows 7 and format it as FAT.
I went ahead and created the partition in OS X and Quick formatted it as FAT. When I created the partition, I was warned that this action could possible affect my boot record (or something to that effect). I ignored it and went ahead.
A new problem surfaces
Now when I restart the MAC, windows 7 is missing from the list of bootables. But the solution to this turned out to be very simple.
See Christopher Murphy's detailed explanation in the discussion here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?start=0&tstart=0. I just read through the 1st few posts on this discussion to restore the windows 7 bootable option when restarting.
To conclude
Thanks Christopher Murphy from the other discussion for help on the 2nd half of the problem. -
After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occasionally lock-ups.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occassionaly locks up while using Safari, Mail or Dreamweaver and I have to d a force-quit, then restart my Mac. Anybody having similar probelms?
I am thinking about doing a clean install of Mountain Lion. Would I be able to restore my applications and data from Time Machine after the re-install?My 24 inch iMac... 2.8 GHZ dual core (Early 2008) is having the same problem. After it sleeps, I go to use something... and the beachball of death occurs. This happens multiple times a day... and let me tell you... it is annoying... and I am the one who is being annoyed!
It could possibly be revolving around safari... as that is really the only thing that is running consistently. I don't use iTunes on this iMac as I have so many other Macs up and running in the house... and I never consume media on it... so I kind of dismiss iTunes being the culprit.
This is majorly affecting my Mac... in terms of reliability and uptime... which coincedently is the main reason why I switched to Mac in 2008. This is my only Mac that could upgrade to ML... so I don't know how widespread this is... but I hope that this problem can be solved...
I agree with another person who commented on this issue... do we really need a 10.8.1 update already... to fix this? -

After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow?
Hello
After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow
It was starting in 10 seconds and shuting dow in 5 seconds and now it's taking more than one minute to start it or shut down it and everything is slow
why????????/
ThanksFirst, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac, I cannot print to my Samsung B&W Laser printer ML 2525W either by USB or wireless. Any help on how to setup or reconfigure would be apprecaited.
I either print blank pages or prints one time then goes off line, or spits out a bunch of blank paper, etc. Have gone through all the standard fixes, reboot, reset , reload driver, etc.From the link to the Thread you provided, I worked through the one message procedures that were listed.
For ease of reference, I have copied them and printed them below. This was an old thread but the guidance still works with no firmware upgrade required.
I would stress that you MUST delete any and all files relating to USB connection of the printer to the MAC, including all print drivers (from both Apple and Samsung either from CD or web downloads) and all print queues, etc. I was only able to get the printer to properly hand shake with my Mac by setting it up wirelessly after all old files were deleted with hard power off reboots on both the Mac and Printer.
I hope that someone from Apple will pass this note along to their programing department because there is some type of incompatibility in the new ML OS and the Samsung ML2525w print dirvers used for a cable (USB) type connection. Apple needs to be talking to Samsung to get the USB issue resolved. I am going to post this same message on the Samsung site to see if someone from there will contact Apple to work together on a final solution for USB connectivity.
Here is the steps I followed to get my ML2525w to work in the wireless mode. Again, I cannot stress the need to clean out all the old files (drivers, print queues, etc. - everything) before setting up wirelessly.
As a note, I ran this printer with Lion for almost 2 years and it always worked fine (both wireless and USB). From other comments on the thread, users were good with this printer using Lep. and Snow Lep also. - - no issues from either a USB connection or wireless until Mountain Lion.
Before the fix, I was experiencing many of the same issues as described on user chat threads, printer going offline after a print job. 1st page sometimes printing but all the rest of the pages were garbage. No printing at all. Printer just running a bunch of blank pages out. etc.
I run an iMAC 27" desktop with the ML OS upgrade just installed from Lion.
"I've just installed one of these printers for my parents.
First of all, don't waste your time connecting the ML-2525W as a USB printer. The printer will go offline after each print job. It's hopeless, at least (I assume) until Samsung gets around to publicly releasing a firmware update.
Instead, you have to use the ML-2525W as a wireless printer. In that mode, it works fine.
This is what I did:
(1) First, if you have already attempted to install the Samsung driver software from the included CD-ROM, uninstall it. Get the uninstaller from the Samsung support site:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ML-2525W
Download the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" ZIP file. It unzips to a folder that contains the uninstaller. Likewise, download the "Smart Panel Driver" ZIP file and uninstall the Smart Panel software.
(2) Disconnect the USB cable from the printer, if it is connected. Pull the power plug on the printer and power cycle it.
(3) Restart your Mac.
(4) Go to the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" folder that you previously unzipped. Inside it is a folder named "WirelessSetting". Open the folder and run the "Wireless Setting.app".
(5) The application will ask you to connect the USB cable to the printer. Do so, and the Mac should be able to communicate with the printer to perform the wireless setup.
(6) The application will show you a list of wireless networks. One of them is the wireless interface in the printer (ad-hoc). You can ignore that unless you intend to use the printer without connecting to another wireless network. In my case, I selected the wireless network in my parents' home (infrastructure) and entered the security passphrase. The application then configured the wireless interface in the ML-2525W to connect to the home network.
(7) The Wireless Setting application will then tell you to disconnect the USB cable.
(8) After finishing the Wireless Setting application, go to Word, Textedit, Pages, or Safari, and select a file or page to print. In the print dialog window, you should see the ML-2525W as a "Nearby Printer" (i.e. via Bonjour). Select the ML-2525W, and your Mac will automatically connect to Apple's Software Update and download the latest Samsung driver. If for any reason the Software Update download does not succeed, you can manually download and install the Apple driver using the previously published link in this discussion.
(9) After that, you should be able to print to the ML-2525W whenever you want, without the printer going offline.
(10) If you have a USB printer queue still in your Print & Fax Preferences (from your previous unsuccessful attempt to connect via USB), you can delete it. You only need to keep the Bonjour queue.
Obviously YMMV, but in my case this procedure got the printer working reliably without the need for a firmware update."

After upgrading to mountain lion, contribute cs4 did not open
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I found that Contribute CS4 did not open. In searching for an answer I found the following on the Adobe forum:
"Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues."
So continuing to search, two days of frustration ensued as I "chatted" with 2 unhelpful Adobe customer support reps, searched unhelpful Apple and Adobe websites and posted my question in various places. Finally I found that the above statement was completely wrong when I received the following from an Adobe staffer:
Mountain LION is not a supported platform for Adobe Contribute CS4. The supported versions are Latest Adobe Contribute 6.5 and Adobe Contribute CS5.X.
And now I have to spend hundreds in order to maintain my website after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I don't even know to whom I should take my complaint, Apple or Adobe. Does this mean I have to research every piece of software I use before upgrading my Mac? At the very least, Mac owners should be forwarned of platform support failures for major 3rd party producers. I'm doing my bit here. How about you taking some responsibility?I just baught a new imac from the apple store and loaded mountain lion when I got home due to the time it would take there. I then used migration assitant to load CS4 from my mac pro that is using snow lepord. This worked flawlessly. CS4 and Bridge work great. I then downloaded the mountain lion upgrade to my wifes mac pro that was also using snow lepord and once mountain lion was instaled it disabled CS4 compleatly. I will repost the results tomorrow. I believe that I can reinstall CS4 to her mac pro now that she has mountain lion installed using migration assistant from my mac pro since it worked this way with the new imac. I hope this works because I want to upgrade my mac pro to mountain lion but can't afford to lose CS4.

The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion
Please help. I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. iTunes 10.7 And I have a solution:
If found a thread about IPv6.
I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters.
That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
Close iTunes. Start iTunes. Works. Airplay Icon is back.
It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup. At the very least rebooted.
I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it. Finally.
Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something. Original thread link:

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

HT4798 username/password not working after upgrade to mountain lion
hello, on my imac after upgrading to mountain lion my computer password and/or username seems not to work anymore: when i want to install an update or search for updates on the app store the combination i used so far, does not work anymore. i tried to find out how to reset the computer password but without too much success, and i'm a bit confused, what can i do? thanks a lot
You went wrong at the very beginning by not erasing the hard drive of a used computer before starting to use it yourself. I suggest you do that now.
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices.
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication. -
ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion
After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.
I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

HT1338 After upgrading to Mountain Lion iphoto doesn't work
Can't open my iphoto after upgrading to Mountain lion. Goes up to step 2 at 54% and crashes. Please help!
You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice. -
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?
Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
I can't get passed the complete installation
What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application. If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.
