Battery timer gone in Mountain Lion!!

I miss the battery timer! I rely on it for work and I really need it back - does anyone know how to get this (without an external app)??

Seconded, I hadn't even noticed it had gone until I just went to check how long till my air was chared and nothing there - not even the option for anything barring a percentage.
Noticed the timer is there if you click on the battery just not on the default display.

Please replace battery time display for Mountain Lion

In Lion, you could select to see the time remaining on your battery. Now you have to actually click the battery to see. Please change it back!

This is a user forum. If you want Apple to listen you need to send them feedback.... www.apple.com/feedback

Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.

Try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

We're sorry.
We can't find the article you're looking for.
Please return to the Apple Support homepage.
Sigh.

AHH. Windows gone after mountain lion upgrade?

Hi!
I have a late 2011 model MBP. And i had the dual boot option with windows 8 (release preview) installed. On Thursday (4 days ago) i upgraded OSX to mountain lion. But just today i had the necessity to back to windows, and the option is not there anymore... when i boot up my mac and press the "option key" the only hard drives i get are the "macintosh HD" and the "recovery 10.8".
What happened to Windows?
I tried using boot camp to "remove windows 7" but after hours of "partitioning the Macintosh HD" i gave up and quit the application. All i wanted to do was remove windows completely and re-install it via boot camp again.
Now i am windows-less. HELP!!!
Do i have an option of going back in time (kind of like system restore on windows) and going back to OSX lion? all i want is to go back 4 days ago when things were working fine.
oh no... something tells me i'm gonna have to erase everything on my mac and start all over again

Hi "thiememd" Unfortunately, i couldn't find a way to keep Windows on my mac so i erased the entire partition (without bootcamp) by following the steps in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8wdy5qW8Z8
Luckily, i had done a back up on windows b4 mountain lion screwed me over. so now all i'm gonna do is re install windows once again.

Battery life drops after Mountain Lion and then hard drive crashes. Coincidence?

On October 20, I purchased and downloaded Mountain Lion for my 2009 MacBook Pro. I soon began seeing a decrease in battery life. When hovering over the battery icon to check the time left, I noticed it said "Service Battery". The notebook otherwise seemed to operate normally. I should also note that I've never had any other problems with this MacBook Pro. By November 18, without any other problems, the hard drive crashed and was irreparable, costing me over $200 for replacement. This should not be a part that needs replacement on a 3 year old computer. Coincidence that these events happened so close in sequence, I think not. If the battery problems are known to Apple through the discussions on the Support Communities, why hasn't Apple issued a patch 4 months after the release of Mountain Lion? The new hard drive was installed running Snow Leopard and I intend to keep that OS. It's really a shame because ML has some nice features that SL does not offer. I also will not be purchasing any new Apple OS until the program has been out at least a year to allow Apple to work out the known, potentially costly problems that they seem to knowingly ignore. I'm a loyal Apple customer but this incident will have me thinking twice before running out to purchase any of their products and software immediately upon release or even a few months after.

Have you followed these instructions, specifically formatting your new HDD?

Battery performance affected by Mountain Lion

I have a macbook pro 13 inch 2011 and I have noticed that the battery performance of my laptop has gone down after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. What should I do to improve the performance of my laptop?

I guess I am not the only one facing this problem! I hope Apple comes out with a update soon enough!
You are making the #1 mistake of all people on these forums. Never assume that some issue being blogged about actually exists. If you sit on your hands and wait for an update, you could be waiting forever.
You probably have some incompatible 3rd party software that is causing your machine to work harder than normal. I wrote a little diagnostic program to run the most common diagnostic tests. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

"service battery" after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I tried restarting the SMC of my laptop and it didnt work. prior to updating to Mountain Lion, my battery life was still okay. but after updating, it drains fast and it says that I need to have my battery replaced. "service battery" How did that happen overnight?? and is there any way for me to fix this problem??

Today it happened to me too. Service battery notice. Current charge 0% (*huh*, how can it still be running...)
This is already my third battery in my early 2008 MacBook Pro. I have the feeling that:
1. OS X upgrades kill my batteries: I had to replace the battery after upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6 and now from
    10.7 to 10.8.
2. The MacBook Pro early 2008 is a very bad series:
     - Display "clamshell" has been replaced due to broken LED issue (only half the LED's lighting up after sleep)
    - Logic board had been replaced (bad NVIDIA GPU)
    -- Both these issues have been solved under Applecare, luckily.
     - Battery has been replaced 3 (THREE!) times in 3 years. The average lifespan of a battery is slightly less
      than ONE year.
For me - personaly - these issues are really the limit. After being a loyal Apple user for more than 6 years I feel quite disappointed.
I will contact a European Apple "Premium" Reseller this week to see what they are prepared to do.
Since I live in the South of the Netherlands I would have to travel about 180 km to the nearest real Apple Store (Amsterdam). The warranty has long expired, so perhaps now is the time to stop wasting money on repairs and buy a cheap € 400 laptop on linux instead of another € 139 battery...
I really, really hope that the Service Battery issue is a (bad) joke and an update of OS X will solve the issue.

I cant restore from time machine after mountain lion update

i recentlz went to Apple Geius to get my HD formatted as i had a corrupt disk. Once cleaned and my hardware all verified as OK, i got the apple store to load Mountain Lion, previously running Snow Leopard. I came home conneted to my time machine and it restored evrything that from this mornings back up no issues.
When i try to access time machine to look at previous days back ups i get error code 6584
also time machine shows no dated back ups beyond today.
Any ideas?

First, I strongly suggest that you make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. You should do that anyway. One backup isn't enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
2. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
3. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the TC again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

Time Machine after Mountain Lion update

Hello
I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into this situation.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion on release day (July 25th) and seem to be having some issues with my Time Machine backups. I've noticed that when I enter Time Machine - I have NOTHING available pre upgrade date (July 25th). However, when I open my time machine preferences, it says right there that my oldest backup is 21, May, 2011 yet I cannot access this???
Did I lose everything I had pre upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
~C.

Hi,
Shut down, and restart TM a few times has worked for some.
I, like always when installing a new OS X, use Disk Utility to erase the TM drive, and reselect the drive for TM use. The drive is only used for TM, and no other files are stored on it.
I, of course, made sure that the Mountain Lion load was working perfectly first. I like starting clean each time. This isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine. I have an archival back up system as well - I'd never trust TM, solely, for my backups.
Cheers,
M.

IMovie and Garage Band gone after Mountain Lion upgrade.

I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion by buying it in the itunes store and uploading it. Now, imovie and garage band are gone. I have nothing in My Purchases, as these came with my mac when I bought it, and I don't think I have a cd. Can I get these back without buying new?

As shldr said, iLife applications (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb) came preinstalled on your Mac, so if you made a clean install of Mac OS X, they were deleted because Mac OS X doesn't include iLife apps.
In order to install the iLife applications again, you need the Applications DVD that came with your Mac, so insert it and follow the steps to install your iLife applications. If you haven't got the DVD, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After installing the applications, open Apple menu > Software Update to install the most recent version

IChat is gone after Mountain Lion

I recently updated my macbook pro to Mountain Lion and now, iChat is gone. How do you contact with your friends who still have iChat when you have Messages?

You would need an account for .Me or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), etc. Then you add the account in Messages' preferences.
Check out the Help screens for Messages, they cover everything:

Time Machine causing Mountain Lion to Reboot

Turns out my rebooting issue is being caused by Time Machine. When Time Machine is due to back up my system it reboots Moutain Lion instead. Anybody heard of this or have a fix?

Hey Mende1;
OSX-10.9.4, TimeMachine is rebooting me. Yes, Mavericks not Mountain Lion, hijacked stream will repost individually as well.
If you can help, seems right after this:
08:37:46 com.apple.backupd: Forcing deep traversal on source: "Macintosh HD" (device /dev/disk0s2 mount '/' ...
08:37:47 com.apple.backupd: Found 1704612 files (248.11 GB) needing backup
08:37:47 com.apple.backupd: 269.58 GB required (including padding), 2.73 TB available
08:37:47 com.apple.backupd: Waiting for index to be ready (100)
08:37:50 com.apple.backupd: Error: (-36) SrcErr:NO Copying /.DocumentRevisions-V100/PerUID/502 to /Volumes/TimeMachine Backups ...
08:37:50 com.apple.backupd: Error: (-36) SrcErr:NO Copying /.DocumentRevisions-V100/PerUID to /Volumes/TimeMachine Backups ...
08:37:50 com.apple.backupd: Error: (-36) SrcErr:NO Copying /.DocumentRevisions-V100 to /Volumes/TimeMachine Backups ...
(that's the last thing on the screen before the grey reboot screen that I haven't seen in years)
Can you confirm whether any of this looks unusual compared to your own logging right at the point of backup?
Additionally, can you tell me what, in your normal backup, the next logged step is?
Thanks!

Time machine causing Mountain Lion to Hung

After I upgraded to mountain lion, I'm facing this problem very regulary. My observation is sometimes time machince backup is never ending and at that time if try to access any other application then they won't launch. If try to shutdown mac will go to a white sceen and won't get shutdown. I had to force restart mac every time this happens. Any help in resolving this would be a great help.
