Alerts lost sound with Mountain Lion

Since moving to Mountain Lion, my iCal alerts appear to have been changed from "Message with Sound" to just "Default (10 Minutes before)"
Is there any way I can revert all events to have my preferred "Message with Sound"?
I don't see that choice in iCal Preferences.

  • Distorted sound with mountain lion.Is there any solution?

    i have distorted sound with a usb soundcard since i upgrade mountain lion.. Any idea?

    Once you get straightened out consider backing up via a bootable clone. It can solve a lot of problems.

  • Air play mirroring mac with mountain lion, sound is working but video is extremely slow to update

    I am trying to get air play mirroring working on my  mid 2011 Mac book pro and Apple TV 3 (latest one) with mountain lion. I have the icon, it seems to connect to each other, and the screen shows up on my apple TV, yet it doesnt update, takes a long time to show up at all, just keeps showing the same screen. However, the audio works fine, I tried to play a Xfinity stream through safari, the video didnt show up on apple TV but the sound came through with no delay. Any ideas?

    thanks for the help.... even thought it didn't work...
    basically I think i either have some virus or this is the result of that stupid update I did... I know i did that keyboard one an itunes one a quicktime one and there might've been another.

  • Displaying the number of files in a folder with Mountain Lion?

    I recently purchased a new iMac with Mountain Lion and I pretty much hate it. I have been a fan of just about EVERY update, so I am not resistant to change. I just think this is an inferior product. It is slow, clunky, and the update alerts remind me of everything that I hated about PCs. Meh.
    Anyway, one of the main problems I have with it is that in previous versions, when I opened a folder, there was a little bit of information at the bottom of the folder that told me how many files were in that folder. As a photographer, I use this information ALL THE TIME. I realize I can click on the folder and "get info" to see how many files are in it...but this is extremely inefficient (especially considering how slow the brand new system is -- in spite of the 3.4 Hz processor and 16GB of RAM).
    I can't seem to find anything in the preferences that allows me to change this. If there is a way, I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me how! Thank you!

  • I am trying to use an external 3g modem made by Huawei model e173s-6 and when I do connect it on my usb port the macbook pro just do not recognize it. I own a 2012 model with mountain lion 10.8.2 . What should I do ?

    I am trying to use an external 3g modem made by Huawei model e173s-6 and when I do connect it on my usb port the macbook pro just do not recognize it. I own a 2012 model with mountain lion 10.8.2 . What should I do ?

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • How to mute/delete startup sound in Mountain Lion?

    Is there a way to shut off/mute the startup sound in Mountain Lion without simply turning down all sounds?  For years I have used a third party pref pane called startup sound, but it has not been updated for OS 10.8.  Thanks.

    1. Login as administrator and open Terminal
    2. Create scriptfile for muting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-on.sh
    3. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'
    4. Create scriptfile for unmuting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-off.sh
    5. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume without output muted'
    6. Make both files executable:
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-off.sh
    7. Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
    8. Add hooks for muting
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /path/to/mute-off.sh

  • Dictation with mountain lion

    Cannot get dictation feature to work with mountain lion.  The feature in the control panel is set to automatic and operates when you select function twice but it doesn't seen to pick up any sound or send back any input.  Please advise.

    Look to the right under More Like This. The items with the green checkmark represent discussions with a solution. Check these out to see if there is a solution that works for you.
    Among other things you need to open the Sound preference panel to be sure the mic on your computer is selected for sound input and that the volume setting is high enough. Open the Dictation preference panel and be sure you have turned on Dictation's radio button.

  • Does Logic Pro 9 work with Mountain Lion?

    Hey!
    I was wondering...
    My computer has Snow Leopard installed and i would really like to get Mountain Lion. BUT there is a problem... I don't know if Logic Pro 9 will with Mountain Lion. Can anybody help me with it? And also does Logic Pro 8 and the microsoft pack (word, powerpoint, excel etc. 2011) work too? Please help me if you know it
    THANK YOU
    Cheers
    - Kufax

    Since I'm not in the middle of anything critical and have multiple backups, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I've only been running for an hour or so, but here's where I am:
    2008 MacPro, 8x2.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM. SSL MADI PCIe card for I/O. Logic 9.1.7
    Tested with a couple of recent, decent size projects (40+ tracks, VIs and plugins). Not seeing any perormance differences.
    Working:
    - Euphonix MC Mix
    - UAD2 Duo
    - Spectrasonics Omnisphere
    - NI Komplete 8
    - Waves 9
    - Soundtoys 4
    - Wallander Instruments
    - EW Play
    - Melodyne
    NOT Working:
    - Access Virus TI. Plugin opens but cannot connect to Virus. I am running the latest stable v4 release - I will try installing the v5 public Beta and report back. This is a deal breaker so if I cannot get it working I will roll back to Lion
    - SSL Duende Native. Authorization is failing. Possibly a CodeMeter issue or just authorizations lost during upgrade - will look at this next.
    Make sure you are running the latest iLok driver - there was one released a few days ago.
    More as it develops.

  • Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

    First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
    I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
    Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
    Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
    The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
    Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
    Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
    I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
    Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

    Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

  • IPod not recognized with Mountain Lion

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my iPOD gets hung up when connected to computer, and will not show on i Tunes. I get the spinning wheel and the "do not disconnect" sign on the iPod. I tried the resetting routine with no benefit.  Is there something I can do without losing my iPod content to restore i Pod and allow use with Mountain Lion.  The i POD functions normally when used by itself. It also loads properly on my desktop MacPro OS 10.7.4 Has anyone had this problem?

    I assume this iPod worked with this Mac before upgrading the Mac to Mountain Lion?  You've updated Mountain Lion to 10.8.1?  And your iTunes version is the latest available (10.6.3)?
    If you are using a USB hub as connection point (or the spare port in the keyboard), try connecting it to a direct USB port.  As a test, you may want to disconnect all other USB devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if used), and connect the iPod to a direct USB port.  Also, if you have not powered OFF your Mac in a while, try doing that (not just restarting).
    If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode, to see if it will connect to the Mac without iTunes (or the system) giving you the spinning wheel.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    It's not a good idea to have song files on the iPod that are not backed up in your iTunes library.  iPods can become broken or lost.  Purchases from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded from the iTunes Store Purchased page, but for other song files, you should transfer them off the iPod and add them to your computer's iTunes library.  Then, you can do a Restore when necessary, and easily re-sync your songs back to iPod.  You can't do it (transfer from iPod to computer) using iTunes, but there are third-party methods and utilities that can do it.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

  • My rMBP with Mountain Lion 10.8 won't recognise my USB3.0 MS-DOS (FAT32) format external HDD

    Hi all, first post.
    i'm having a big issue with my new rMBP (2.6ghz, 16GB, 512GB SSD) with Mountain Lion OS10.8 . One of the key features of this new laptop is its USB 3.0 'support'. But it doesn't seem to support it
    I have a MS-DOS FAT32 formatted 1.5tb Seagate GoFlex HDD USB3.0. This drive is formatted correctly for mac support and has worked very well with my Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2009) for a year or more now. This drive has a lot of data on it I need to be able to access regularly. But it won't!
    When I plug the drive in to the rMBP the lights on the drive turn on and the disk starts spinning, but OSX Mountain Lion doesn't even recognise it's there. No device appears in the side bar, disk utilities or similar, and no sound is made even when I 'unsafely' unplug itat on
    What on earth is going on? USB 3.0 fail
    Cheers

    I am having a similar issue.
    I have an external WD fat32 drive loaded with over a TB of PS3 video data (originally formatted and working well under snow leopard).
    I bought a new macbook pro and found the drive inaccessible under Mountain Lion 10.8. (still works fine on my PC and  PS3, I no longer have my snow leopard machine).
    My research leads me to believe the problem is a bug in the new OS.
    The disk utility can see the drive.
    The disk utility Validater does report an error and advises I run the Repair tool.
    The disk utilty Repair tool reports successful repair but the drive remains inaccessible to ML while still working fine with my PS3 and PC.
    I HATE to say this, but I fear my workaround is to go back to using my PC until Apple fixes Mountain Lion.
    I suppose I could buy another 2Tb drive, format it with ML and then use my PC to restore the data files. However, that would be an expensive and time consuming experiment with no assurance of success.
    Even if it worked, I worry that the next OS update may render the disk unreadable again.
    Anyway, best of luck bisherphotos.

  • MBOX2 with Mountain Lion audio problems.

    I got the MBOX 2 working fine with mountain lion and logic 9, audio sound good but after a few songs the audio starts to deteriorate and goes away. Everytime I use the computer it does the same, audio starts fine and then after a couple of songs it goes away. Any solutions?

  • My Airport doesn't function with Mountain Lion.  Why?

    I have an Airport 6.1., and it won't function with Mountain Lion.  If this is a software issue, does anybody know if Apple have any plans to upgrade their software.  Hopefully I won't need to buy a new Airport base station.  I don't know how to contact Apple support directly without paying for it.

    6.1 is a version of AirPort Utility....the software application in Lion and Mountain Lion that is used to configure Apple routers. This software is not compatible with older versions of the Apple AirPort routers.
    It sounds like you have an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme.....or.....an older version of the AirPort Express.
    Can you provide more information so we can help? Once we have the info, we may have a possible workaround for you.
    If you have an AirPort Express, look for the Model No on the side of the device and post back with that info. It will likely be either A1084 or A1088.

  • My trackpad has problems with Mountain Lion

    I have an IMac from the beginning of 2012, it had snow leopard on it. Since about one week, I updated to Mountain lion. Until here, everything ok.
    I also have a MacBook Air from January 2011, with snow leopard on it. I wanted to sell my Mac Air, so I used the migration assistant to migrate my user from the Mac Air (that has snow leopard) to my iMac (that has mountain lion). It seemed to have worked perfectly yesterday. Today I turned on my iMac, after having sold already the Mac Air, and the user I migrated logged in automatically, and the trackpad or mouse both didn't work correctly. The cursor jumps by itself from one place to the other and won't let me do click anything on the status bar or the dock or on any window, which means I basically have no mouse. I've tried different mouses, plugging in and out, everything! Nothing works! It's driving me crazy, so I somehow managed to erase the new migrated user and lost all the data (that is the only new thing I had on the iMac, so I thought that that was the source of the problem), and restarted the iMac, and logged on with my usual user form the iMac, but the problem with the mouse persists and I can't do anything with the iMac! I though. About reinstalling mountain lion on the iMac, bu how can I do this without a mouse??? I don't have a cd, I downloaded it from the App Store. HEEEEEEEELP! :-s

    I think the exact problem comes because I migrated a user from a Mac with snow leopard to a Mac with mountain lion. How can I fix this problem now? Reinstalling mountain lion?
