Are new Macs shipping with Mountain Lion? Everything on the website suggests yes, but CS told me no and I had to upgrade my brand new MacBook Air manually.
Does "Included Software" not mean "this is the software you will receive when you buy this Mac"?
Ahh OK.
Since Mountain Lion is so new, there may be a some units still in the supply chain that are still shipping with Lion.
Are you near an Apple Store? If you purchase there you'll be more certain about what you're getting.
Or if you order from the online store but do it by telephone (800-692-7753) you can express your concern about getting Mountain Lion.

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...
Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer
I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer. It came with Mt Lion on it
You have a couple of options for booting OS X.
One is to use the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to copy the Mountain Lion Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive. A 4GB thumb drive is sufficient as the Disk Assistant only needs 1GB.
A second option would be to use a cloning software like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Macintosh HD to an external USB drive. This would give you an external bootable copy of what you have now. -
New RMBP shipping with mountain lion?
Just received email that custom RMBP is being delivered in UK on 19/7/12. Does anyone know if it will ship with Lion (with a free upgrade to come) or with Mountain Lion pre installed?
I called in once and I think I remember them saying that if you purchase a new computer close enough to the release date of Mountain Lion that you are eligible for a free Upgrade. Ah, here! The following is from www.apple.com/osx/uptodate
The OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date upgrade will be available at no additional charge from the Mac App Store to all customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.
Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the date Mountain Lion becomes available to make their Up-To-Date request.
Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac after Mountain Lion becomes available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the date they purchase their Mac to make their Up-To-Date request.
When Mountain Lion becomes available in July, come back to this page to request your copy of Mountain Lion.
End Quote!
Go back to that website when Mountain Lion is available and you'll be able to request the free upgrade if you purchased between June 11, 2012 and when ML comes out. -
I have a new mac powerbook pro OS X 10.8.1 and cannot connect to my canon 6000B printer - the printer appears in the printer list but will not install and I can't find a driver on the net - does anyone know what the solution is?

Thanks for getting back. I need help here
1 What do you mean by System Information? Is that System Preferences?
System Information is located in Applications > Utilities. It shows lots of information about your Mac, including information about the printer queues.
dino1335 wrote:
2 When I go to System Preferences and click on the printer LBP6000/LBP6018 there is no information in that window about the URI if I click Open Print Queue there is no information other than the ID of the printer
In previous versions of OS X you did see this information via the Options & Supplies pane for the selected printer in Print & Scan. But with 10.8 this information was removed so know you need to use System Information > Printers to see information about an installed printer.
dino1335 wrote:
3 If I print a document it just goes to print (it goes through the printer but no information is printed on the paper) there is no print cue so I don't know where to find the information on the URI or what I am supposed to copy
I believe that the document does not print because the print queue has not been created correctly. The CAPT driver requires a specific queue name and if the queue name is wrong then you will not be able to print.

FYI I also have a MacBook Pro (old) with Leopard which I also print to the same printer on and there isn't a problem with that just with this new MacPro which has Lion installed
Not surprised to read that. Mtn Lion has caused some issues for owners of CAPT printers, especially if they upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7 or 10.6.
Since you mention the ability to print on 10.5, I just want to check that you are physically moving the USB cable connected to the LBP from the 10.5 Mac to the 10.8 Mac, rather than sharing the printer from one Mac to the other. Because if you are sharing the printer from the 10.5 to the 10.8 Mac then this can be a cause of your current issue. The CAPT driver does not work when it is being shared to other Mac's. -
Why will avi play on all my Mac's with Mountain Lion but not on my Retinal Display 13" Macbook Pro? Quicktime players are the same, OS are the same plugins are the same and up to date. Get the missing Codec warning only on retinal display.
You don't say if your MacBook Pro is the new version that supports USB 3, if not the card reader will default to USB 2. The Ultra II is listed as 10Mb/s on old cards and 15MB/s on new cards, both within USB 2 specification. Extreme III are listed as 20MB/s old cards and 30MB/s new. These 30 MB/s maybe a bit too much for USB 2, not sure. see http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1111
If the Macbook Pro as USB 3 support it could be that it does not recognise the card reader as USB 3 and default to USB 2.
See Apple URL http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5172?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Bullet point 11 may help.
Of course the card reader could be faulty and not read the Extreme III cards unless you have verified it working in other situations.

Will MacBook Pro shipped with Mountain Lion if I purchase it today?
I called their support line and according to the guy that I spoke to that it will not ship with Mountain Lion since there will be still some "Old" MacBook Pro lying around in Apple so they would wanna clear those off first. According to the support guy that it will take at least 1-2 months before Apple start shipping all MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and it might take longer if you purchase it through Online Apple Store. I can still upgrade to Mountain Lion myself through Mac Store definately but I purposely waited till the launching date hoping that it will automatically ship with Mountain Lion ready and now I'm hearing this news. Can anyone verify and confirm this is true? I thought Apple made some of their employee stay overnight to upgrade all their Macs before launching? And Apple just gonna leave their "Old" Macs running the old OS lying there until it's sold out before shipping with Mountain Lion?
If you buy a Mac today, it may have come from the factory a month ago so it will not have Mountain Lion installed. Still, ML is a free upgrade to anyone who purchases a new Mac after June 11th. Unless you don't have an Internet connection, I don't see any reason not to go ahead a get a Mac today.
Note that if you go into an Apple Store today, they might just do the update for you in the store - I've heard of it happening...

Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?
I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality. Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?
The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
Best wishes, -

Downgrading New Mac pro to Mountain Lion
Is it possible to downgrade a New Mac Pro to Mountain Lion?
Apple has removed the Open Transport API from Mavericks and we need it to run a specific medical program.
The software runs on our old Macs. Just wondering if its ok to do this on the new Mac Pro.Thanks for the thoughts people.
I didn't think it could be possible.
We have a solution - albeit a messy one.
The software component that is incompatible is a DICOM server (medical image server). The actual viewing software used to manipulate the image is compatible - just the image import component is not.
Putting it simply we will set up some folder aliases over the network so the viewing software will just use the image folders on the old Mac as their repository.
We have also contacted the developers to get them to update their software! As technically, it is not compatible with Mac... -
For my Mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1, what is a good greeting card software download with lots of templates and graphics?
Hi simon2010,
as far as I can see, I have resolved it...
Just so I didn't write over my functioning disk in the Mac mini, I took it out and put a spare one in. (Would have saved me going back to the Apple store to get it re-imaged if it did fail.)
I created a Mountain Lion installer on an 8GB USB stick, and first installed 10.8.4 (the latest at the current time) on my MacBook Pro... it worked fine, so I knew the installer stick had no problems at all (that's one thing to rule out of the list of potential causes).
With my spare hard disk in the Mac mini, I then went to try to install 10.8.4 on it, with my 16GB non-Apple RAM in it. It failed as usual in the way I expressed originally.
I then just swapped my 16GB RAM for the original Apple 4GB RAM (2x2GB sticks) which I put back in the machine, and I tried re-installing. No problem whatsoever - it installed perfectly.
It's the RAM! Even though my RAM works perfectly once installed, the Apple OS installer refuses to proceed if Apple RAM is not in. I put my 16GB RAM back in after installing the OS and all is fine.
I'm quite surprised Apple has done this.
Have you changed the RAM? Let me know if it's the same problem or you have some differences.
I assume it will install fine if I put the orignal HD back in, again if I have the original Apple RAM in of course.
PS. Also to note, the point where it failed in the installer with my 16GB RAM in, with the original Apple RAM in it took an incredibly long time towards the end of the bar moving across the screen; it says "5 minutes remaining" for at least 15, maybe 20 minutes, but gets past it eventually, then does a reboot to continue its install. -
Creative Suite CS6 Apps are crashing at launch with Mountain Lion
It seems there is a compatibility issue running Mountain Lion OS with Adobe Creative Suite Apps. Most crash on launch. Lightroom seems to work and Photoshop and Bridge also. Dreamweaver CS6 crashes and I use this program all the time. I am thinking I should go back to Lion. Anybody else have this problem?
Adobe had me do several things (complete re-install, mod the preferences, etc.) to my brand new 27" Imac, with Mountain Lion.
CS4 worked perfectly until i installed CS6. Sad to say i have been having some issue on the new user account as well.
As quoted by Team Adobe India,
"We wanted to inform you that, if the application is working on one user account and causing issue on another, then there is very little that can be done to resolve it. All the steps have already been performed from our side.
Please contact Apple, provide them with all the information and check with them if they can help you with troubleshooting the issue which is only on a specific user account."
CS4 worked fine on Mountain Lion.
CS6 is very unstable.
+1 point for Apple, and to the dungeons for Adobe -

My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes when installing updates or new software.
My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes and re-boots when installing updates or new software. I can only perform these operations while in the safe boot mode. I have reloaded OSX twice. Does not solve the problem. The machine is brand new. It replaced a previous MacPro that would not support the new Mountain Lion. When my new machine came in. I swaped the dirve out of my old unit into the new and ran the new Lion update. The machine has had this aforementioned problem since that time. Also, I had the Legacy version of File Vault running on the old machine/drive, which I also turned off(thinking that was the problem) but that did not fix the problem either.
