Can i install Mountain lion if i have Maverick installed?
My audio interface dont support maverick.

You can, but unless you have a backup to restore it is not at all easy, do you have a backup?

  • Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

    Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

    Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck.  As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.”  As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#.  Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
    If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

  • I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install?

    I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

    Dear  MAC-Friends.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
    I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
    Choose another Library ?  ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
    and the other possibility is:
    Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library  ?
    And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    Kind regards  FINN GRABOWSKI

    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?

  • After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
    much smaller then than they are now.
    The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
    fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
    Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
    Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
    I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion, my i-phone, i-pad and desk top do not sync through i-cloud?

    I need changes to calendars to post to all devices immediately, and this is not happening.  I have everything turned on with i-cloud and plenty of storage space available.

    Yes I did.  As I have a back up, I erased the disk and loaded Mountain Lion from the Internet recovery mode.  I downloaded the operating system and it rebooted and took me through the steps until it gave me the destination disk options.  It said there was no room to load the system.  I went to the disk utility and checked on information for the disk and it said that it's capacity was 500 GB but it had only a few MB available.  Now I can't go on without the Operating system restore coming up, even if I hold the "d" key down for a hardware check.  Is the hard drive bad?

  • Why do pages always crash since I installed mountain Lion

    Pages crash after short while since I installed Mountain Lion. I have already installed all the updates. I cannot find the original installation disc and do not want to buy it again.
    Any help available?

    Exactly how did you migrate Pages to Mountain Lion and please confirm exactly what version you are running and what messages you get when crashing and under what circumstances.

  • How How can i install Mountain Lion with faulty firewire ports??

    Basically the firewire ports are fried on my MBP 3.1  (2007). My mac used to take hang on blue screen and take 10 mins to boot but I solved this problem by installing an ssd and deleting the following kext file...
    /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext
    My MBP now boots in under 20 seconds so if anybody is having the same issue then there is the resolotion..
    Anyway these are the steps I have taken but failed to properly install ML.
    Dowloaded Mountain Lion at least 3 times from the App store to make sure the download wasn't corrupted.
    I even tried making a Lion Bootdisk so I can install Mountain Lion on a USB drive (Install ESD.dmg).
    I have even tried installing Lion first thinking I would take it one version at a time but gets stuck on boot screen too.
    I even changed my hard drive to a new blank SSD drive to see any difference.
    Each time I install Mountain Lion or Lion, everything is good until the installer has to restart the laptop.
    Laptop gets stuck at the grey boot screen with the Apple logo and the loading circle. Nothing ever happens after.
    I always had to use/boot to the Snow Leopard CD so I can restart the laptop back to the Snow Leopard OS and then update to 10.6.8.
    I am guessing it is the ML dmg reinstalling the above file ( /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext ) which is leading to the same issue because of the faulty firewire ports.
    Is there anyway I can resolve this because its doing my head in and Snow Leopard is old and doesnt support newer software that I would like to use.
    Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thanks

    Just some thoughts.
    I presume you already partitioned the new SSD drive as GUID?
    Is there anything on the new drive at all yet, or anything that isn't already backed up? If not, you could try erasing the drive and then installing OS X from the bootable flash drive installer you made.
    Ive tried that and yes it is GUID. Im going to get grey hairs soon and Im not even 30 lol .... yet
    I am not going to buy a new logic board as its just not logical (sorry for the pun) I got the mac for free and I want to spend as little money as possible. Im running out of ideas though

  • How can I install Mountain Lion on my MacBook 10.6.8

    I have not been able to install Mountain Lion. I have the last MacBook that it can be installed on.
    There is no explanationother than after 3 minutes, that the there has been an error in the installtion.
    I don't even know where to begin!

    Try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

    How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
    I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
    How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

    I do not currently own OS X ML.
    I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
    After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
    I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
    If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
    I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
    In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
    Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
    If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
    The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
    For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

  • I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message that "speech Synthesis Server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please advise me what to do now.

    I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks

    Something went wrong with your upgrade.
    Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • Can I download Mountain Lion now but install later

    I made a " Qualifying purchases between June 11, 2012, and July 25, 2012 " so I have until August 24, 2012 to download Mountain Lion for free according to <http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/>
    Can I download Mountain Lion before that deadline but install it later on?
    I'd like to go from Lion to Mountain Lion when ML has nay initial bugs resolved.
    Thanks.

    Yes, the installer downloads to the Applications folder, if after downloading it asks to continue to do the installation just close that dialogue.  Later, when you are ready to install click on the installer in the Applications folder and it will do its thing.

  • Can't install Mountain Lion.

    i cannot install mountain lion nothing happens after clicking install. It downloads from the AppStore fine. I accept the terms and conditions then it gave me an install window showing my harddrive. I couldn't make a green circle or select the Hard drive of my macbook pro, but I clicked on install. then the window closes and nothing happens. I did this twice. I went back to the app store and it shows the Download button again on my purchases for mountain lion. It let me begin downloading again. Would this happen if I had already downloaded it once?  There was not warning saying I had it already.  What in the world is going on? I can't seem to find anyone who has this problem.
    Note: I believe I had only have 12 GB on my hard disk, now 8, i think after downloading MLion

  • Have installed Mountain Lion and need Java. Help

    Hi,
    I installed Mountain Lion this past week.
    I am subscribed to two games sites. They both require me to have Java to use them.
    I read after I installed ML that there is no Java in this. However, I guess I still had the Apple Java from Snow Leopard.
    But, I thought I had to install Java 7 (think at some point I was asked to update Java and it took me to that.
    I then read that Chrome can't use the Java I had installed.
    So I then tried to use Safari.
    Then I picked up FireFox again. I used to have FireFox but had not used it in a while.
    Finally managed to get FireFox to run the one site. Quadplex.
    However nothing would allow me to use Pogo. I can get to the main page on Pogo, but when I try to activate the games there, it sits and loads and loads and eventually as it SHOULD open it just up and disappears!
    Eventually in some of my searching, I read that Java 7 is not secure. That there is a security issue in it.
    I searched until I found where I could uninstall Java 7. And I did that. Then I clicked on the link that said I could install the Apple Java that I had managed to get rid of originally (well I assume it is gone since even after a restart, Safari does not let me play anything requiring Java.
    I tried to reinstall the Apple Java and got to what I had read was the "terminal". I began to try the commands that were posted on the Apple support page I was on, but it asked for an Administrator Password. To my knowledge I have never had that on my Mac. I usually just click where the window pops up to ask for it and that window goes away and I can install anything without entering any password. But in the "terminal" I tried to just click on the return to go to the next step in the commands routine and it would not allow me to continue.
    I am on a MacPro 15" purchased in August 2009 and which has been refurbished due to me having spilled a drink all over the keys area of it in November of 2010. It has been working great until I went ahead and installed Mountain Lion and now have removed the Java download as I read it is not secure and can expose Mac users to something refered to as "drive by" viruses.
    I am really at a loss here. The tech I would normally go to may or may not be available this week and I really am frustrated by missing out on my daily gaming.
    Any one here who can help with my problem?
    Thanks, Carine (aka catonwheels)

    Thanks Baltwo...and yes it did...by the time I got your response (and it was great that you sent it!) I had already FINALLY found that I needed 7u11 and then found THAT! I had tried to find it after reading about it somewhere during my surfing for a solution but couldn't seem to find it and then when I clicked on an update link SOMEWHERE I was taken right to it. I remembered that the original Java I had downloaded did not have 11 in it and so I downloaded the one that was at that link where I was taken and voila! It worked...however, had I NOT found it having you respond to my help plea would have fixed it and I thank you for taking the time. I had gone to Oracle originally to find this update but somehow I did not get it the first time round. So this would have been great had I not fallen over it when I did. Again, thank you and now at least I am in this community and will have a lot of support and info when I need it! :-)

  • Having administrator lock can install Mountain Lion?

    Having administrator lock can install Mountain Lion?
    I have MAC Pro as second hand, but it has administrator lock. So, can I install newest version of OS X Mountain Lion without any problem?
    Do I have to format the laptop to make it work?
    Thanks.

    I don't understand the question. Are you referring to a firmware password? If you start up the computer while holding down the option key, do you see this?
    If you do see that, the machine has a firmware password, and that is going to prevent you from being able to do many things. You need to find out what the firmware password is from the previous owner.
    If he/she will not provide that password, you will need to seek help from Apple. Expect to be met with some suspicion. Be ready to provide any proof of purchase that you may have.
