Back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on.  Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard.  Can I change that back?

Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space".  While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

    somehow I can't change any of my security preferences
    SUPER FRUSTRATING

    So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
    If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
    Best of luck.

  • I just updated to Mountain Lion and now I notice on the side bar under "shared" an icon of a computer. It states that it is a memory card.  What is this? I can't seem to open it.

    I just updated to Mountain Lion and now I notice on the side bar under "shared" an icon of a computer. It states that it is a memory card.  What is this? I can't seem to open it. FYI: my wifi router is password protected.  Thank you!

    Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

    Make sure you have the latest version of parrallels. Think older versions are not compatible.

  • Updated to Mountain Lion and now when I download a purchased program nothing happens (it jumps to downloads but doesn't open)

    I've updated to Mountain Lion and now when I download a purchased program nothing happens (it jumps to download but the download will not open?)?

    Hi, Thanks for responding.  Most downloads you can double click and/or drag over to applications for it to actually install however this one you can't.  It just acts like an empty folder and does nothing.  I did update to Mountain Lion recently and wondered if it was incompatible or something or if I was doing anything wrong?  Thanks.

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

    I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

    Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
    from Stevejones5
    "I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
    Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library.  (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
    Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

  • I have updated to Mountain Lion and now the music on NetHymnal does not play.

    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now the music on the NetHymnal site does not play. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the sound on other sites. There is a statement that a plugin is missing but I can't determine what plugin is missing.

  • Do I have to update to lion before I can update to mountain lion in the summer?

    Sorry, Ive just never updated from snow lepoard and not sure how this will work... Do I need to purchase lion now or do I just need to wait and "save money" and just update to mountain lion when it comes out??

    If your machine qualifies for 10.8, I'm almost positive Apple will provide a one step upgrade from 10.6
    Cheaper it might not be, easier it will be.
    You can get iCloud email on Snow Leopard 10.6
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    BE WARNED!
    10.7 will not run a lot of your older software, especially PPC based programs and hardware drivers for third party printers and such.
    Some of this great older software can never be gotten again as some developers decided to bail when AppStore arrived, not interested in sharing 30% with Apple and being subjected to their many "changes" and control.
    10.6 has Rosetta and it run PPC based software, Rosetta is not on 10.7.
    DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE UPGRADING TO 10.7!!
    It can cost you more in software upgrades, RAM requirements, new external hardware and possibly slow down your machine(s) if they are dated.

  • Updated to Mountain lion, and now iPhoto & iMove don't work. Help!

    I updated to Mointain Lion, and now my iPhoto & iMove don't work. I would rather not have to pay for them AGAIN..
    The error i get is "You can't open the application 'iPhoto' because thr PowerPC applications are no longer supported"
    Any help greatfully recieved

    Yes.
    Current iPhoto is 9.4.3.
    Current iDVD is 7.1.2
    Current iMovie is 9.0.9
    You can either buy iLife 11 which will update or download from the App Store, which doesn't have iDVD.

  • Safari Bug: Look-up (dictionary) doesn't work after using Youtube on new 6.1 on mountain lion and the newest version for Mavericks

    One of sever glitches that led me to "downgrade" back to mountain lion.  However, wasn't thinking and updated safari to 6.1 and I now have the same problem.  It took me a while to figure out, but now it is completely reproducible.  When I visit youtube and watch a video.  Safari's look-up, the three finger tap dictionary shortcut, no longer works.  It just highlights the word momentarily but never completes the function.
    I'm going to restore my laptop again to factory setting and just not upgrade the software to the new Safari update. 
    The main issues/bugs I had with Mavericks, even after a clean install were:
    - pdf's very freezing while scrolling for a few seconds
    - frequent spinning pin wheels
    - other small random bugs I can't recall at the moment.
    Macbook Air mid 2012 i7 8g ram  256gbHD

    Thanks,but the problem seems to show up only after extended use of the computer.Today,for example,I didn't go to work,and turned the PC on in the morning,and by early afternoon,it was getting more and more sluggish.It finally got so bad that it locked up,and even CTL-ALT-DEL wouldn't work.

  • I just updated to Mountain Lion and now time machine won't recognize my backups from before the update.

    I updated from Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 on my MacBook Pro
    I used disk utility to restore my external hardrive because I read somewhere that that would fix the problem.
    It did fix the problem but only temporarily. I was able to view my backups from Snow Leopard, but as soon as I tried to backup again, time machine was stuck
    "preparing to backup" for 5 hours and when I quit the prepare I could no longer access my previous backups.

    So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
    If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
    Best of luck.

  • Mountain lion and the problem it causes. How can I watch my Mac book pro mid 2010 on my TV passing through an amplifier for 5.1 sound?

    Hi guys,
    before Mountain Lion came out, I had my Mac Book Pro mid 2010, nicely connected to my DENON AVR-1912 amplifier through HDMI. The Amplifier would send the signal to the TV and manage the Audio as well.
    Since Mountain Lion came out, I could not anymore use my iWires HDMI cable to connect my MacBookPro to the amplifier, as my Mac would not recognize anymore my amplifier as a TV and therefore would not give me the display option that it used to give me with Lion. Result- I can not adjust the signal that goes through the HDMI cable and the signal is not recognised by the amplifier and then  transmitted onto the tv. NO SIGNAL
    So I went to the apple store and was told I could use the Apple tv 3rd Gen to do that. So I bought it, and went back home. After having installed and realised that it didn't worked as well,  I've called the Apple customer Service. They told me thta unfortunately, since I have a Mac Book Pro bought in mid 2010, I can not benefit from the mirroring function (Come on an i7 processor is absolutely good enough to do that). I asked if I could upgrade my Mac to a machine able to do that as I need this functionality. I was told I can't. I have to buy an other machine and sell mines through their recycle program....
    So I returned my apple TV 3rd Generation, and decided to buy a VeeBeam HD. This product says that I can easily stream from a Macbook Pro with an i7 and 4Gb of ram to my TV. However, when the Veebeam arrived today, I tried to install it... and it didn't work, why? Because Apple has changed some "protocols" and does not allow anymore third party companis to produce products that stream data from Apple products to a TV.
    So... my dear Apple, how am I meant to watch what I've got on my laptop (movies, music and stuff) on my TV going through my Amplifier now? It really seems I can not go by cable (the cable Apple sells- iWires), I can not use the Apple TV3rd Gen, and I can not use third party products.
    IS this normal to you?

  • HT1338 I have installed the Mountain Lion and the battery drains exact 40% faster like before...

    Hi,
    i have upgraded my Mac Book Air to the OS X ML and now we have a lot of problems in our office. Our macs are running out of battery almost 50% faster as before. I understand that it is a problem of the Software, not Hardware. But how long will it last? It is really making like compicated. We were buying Mac Airs exactly because of their battery length and presentation skills...?
    Best regards,
    Edgar

    Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
    Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
    If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?
