As iMac user upgraded to Mountain Lion lost all Legacy connection with years of Apple/Mac data storage. How can recovery since every default says "no longer supported, After years of Mac software use now it is not accessible ??????

Please provide more details. What version OS X were you using?
Are you saying that Mail faIled to upgrade and you lost your old mail?
Are you asking about PowerPC applications that require Rosetta to run like AppleWorks and Microsoft Office 2004?

    stevie, a third party app called airparrot will give you the pretty much the same as mirroring and forks on Macs too old to mirror.

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Updated to mountain lion and lost printer drivers

    I updated my iMac software to Mountain Lion and lost all my printer drivers. I thought that it was going to update those also.

    "Printer drivers" implies more than one? Which ones?
    ML has built in support for many printers. If yours are (is) on the list, you merely have to reinstall the printer. Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Print & Scan  - then click on the + sign to add a printer.
    This page has a list:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    If your printers are not on the list, the drivers will have to be found on the manufacturers' web sites.

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't use any of my software!

    What a disaster and huge mistake.  Upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't run Autocad 2012 for Mac, any of my Adobe Creative suites software such as Photoshop, Illustrator.. and now I can't even do upgrades because Mountain Lion doesn't allow me to launch DMGs.  I've lost thousands of $'s in software, not to mention time, but most importantly now I can't even work!  I just tried to revert back to Snow Leopard by intalling it back in my hard drive and it won't let me.  I never used Time Machine.  Is there any way on earth I can revert back to my old operating software???  Please help.  And if you haven't upgraded yet and are thinking about it.  BEWARE - and don't do it.  I've been reading that Mountain Lion isn't working with Microsoft applications either.  Omy...I haven't even checked that. 
    and of course no one at Apple support can or will help me

    It's not my Microsoft that I use much or am worried about.  I can't run AutoCAD.  and I can't update AutoCAD either.  When I try to mount an update just to get it working, it says it can't run the DMG file.  Apparantly this new platform doesn't use Rosetta - which is needed to run any of these updates or downloads.  ***?  and then When I try to open CS4 appliations - Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign - I get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30 - ***? 
    So basically I can't use ANY of the programs I ran before.  And yes I have googled desperately all day.  Adobe has some suggestions - like deleting a Flex files - which I did...Defragmenting - which I did.  And most importantly provides am Adobe Licensing Repair tool to fix - which I can't open because Mountain Lion won't mount the DMG in order to run it!  It's a complete disaster and I don't have the money or time to purchase and or reinstall everything.  I am just screwed. 
    No you are not, calm down, cbs20 already gave you the answer on opening dmg files, updates are available for most of your programs and I assume you have licenses for the Adobe products. AutoCad you'll have to wait for.
    And please .... Start Backing Things Up, you could lose it all without one, work included.

  • I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

    Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
    Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do? Also, I can not get start up chimes unless I have the factory startup disk in. Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.

  • Selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?

    selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?

    Good question now that Mavericks is free to all.
    It used to be - and is probably still the case - that to comply with the license you should erase and re-install the OS that came pre-installed on the Mac when new. If there were restore disks they needed to be passed on with the Mac.
    I'm happy to be corrected on this by someone who's more au fait with the legalese, but an upgraded OS is tied to an AppleID whereas the original OS is tied to the computer, not an AppleID.
    My guess is, that if you launched the Recovery HD, erased the drive using Disk Utility and re-installed the OS, Lion would be installed.
    Be interesting to see what others say.

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
    "Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
    We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
    And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

  • Upgrading to mountain lion and install has stop

    I have started the upgrade to mountain lion and it has downloaded and started to install
    It had a message that the machine would restarted automatically during the install
    When it tried to do that it has now stopped at at blank white display
    What should I do?

    Hi, were you upgrading from 10.6 or 10.7?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
