Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.

Can my Macbook run Mountain Lion?
I have a Macbook 2008 with version 10.6.8
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 DuoMacbook aluminium late 2008 model when u update to OSX mountain lion will very slow.
u can upgrade hardware to improve.
1st is Ram =4GB x 2 = 8GB 1333 or 1066ram also can use.
2nd SSD intel (reliability) we not only want speed only.
Ram can upgrade to 4GB(apple), 6GB (max) is actual test.
If u update to OS X mountain lion then Ram can upgrade to 8GB (max) actual test.
original is use 1066 Ram,but this actual test can support 1333 Ram..
so u can choose Corsair Mac Memory or Kingston Mac Memory.
for macbook late 2008 unibody with mountain lion user. after upgrade Ram and SSD will become
new macbook pro.
my opinion,
this is my personal actual test...my macbook now mountain lion with Corsair 8GB 1333 + 500GB harddrive for Data + intel 120GB SSD for system (optical drive remove)
Full Working !

I have a macbook which is using snow leopard. can i upgrade to mountain lion
can i upgade to mountain lion if i am using snow leopard 10.6.8
As mende1 has mentioned - Mountain Lion will run with 2GB - I've installed it in my niece's 2010 Macbook with 2GB of RAM - let me tell you - it's slow compared to Snow Leopard.
I suggest you upgrade to 4GB of RAM or even 8GB of RAM should you decide to go with Mountain Lion.
Not only will Mountain Lion run better with 4GB of RAM - your apps will run smoother too.
Click on the link below to see how much it will cost you to upgrade to 4GB of RAM or 8GB of RAM, as you can see, it's not an expensive upgrade.
Good luck.
Apple Certified Mushkin 4GB 1066MHz RAM (2GBX2)
Apple Certified Corsair 8GB 1066MHz RAM (4GBX2)
Only use Apple Certified RAM and the right speed for your Macbook so you won't have any issues when you install it. -
i have OS Lion registred to different apple id as i bought a used macbook.can i upgrade to Mountain Lion through my own Apple id?
No. The items on your hard drive are not dependent on your Apple ID (documents in particular).

Can I text to an iphone using mountain lion and macbook pro?
Just wondering if I can text from my macbook pro using mountain lion with the new messages app? What i've read seems to say that you can text to any imessages user. Does this mean that a text can go from my messages app in mountain lion on my computer to an iphone using imessage? Thanks!
Hi,
You have to have an Apple ID on Messages on the Mac to get it to start.
Once that is done it will also tend to find all the iChat Accounts you may have had.
Uploaded with Skitch!
I have several names that have "me" in the name that Messages thinks are iMessages accounts (see icons).
I also have AIM (AOL) accounts.
My Google ID is a Jabber account.
The iPhone has to be set up in Settings > Messages > Received At > Caller ID
As has been mentioned in this thread the Messages option has to be on.
A New Message icon starts things and then you chose a Contact for iMessages
Uploaded with Skitch!
It indicates if you are using iMessage or AIM or Jabber to Contact people.
The "To" spot becomes a drop down when a name is there (you can then change to an Apple ID or Phone number or Switch to an AIM Screen Name or Jabber ID if the Contact (Address Book) Card has the details
Uploaded with Skitch!
As you can see I have an @mac.com and an @me.com name logged in and could switch to AIM logins to contact "myself" as a Buddy (rather than an iMessage Contact)

just bough OSX Mountain Lion, my laptop operating with v10.6.8. Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition table. 24.44gb disk available.
Verify your computer can run Mountain Lion:
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Open Disk Utility and verify the drive is partitioned using GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If it is then do 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.
Now try installing Mountain Lion. -
After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well. -

What, specifically, is your Mac model?
MacBook Pro, but need the year it was released, processor speed, etc. This will determine if it *can* be upgraded further.
Best,

what is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my 2010 macbook pro using mountain lion?
There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.

I just added my Facebook chat account to iMessage. When I am logged in to iMessage, it looks like I am also logged in with Jabber, but nothing from Facebook is coming up (I use Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on a 2011 macbook pro)
I have already:
unchecked "use kerberos fv5 for authentification" and "use SSL"
checked "automatically find server and port"
restarted both the application itself, and then my whole computer.
Any help would be appreciatedHi,
Although I don't have a Facebook I d have 3 other Jabber accounts logged in.
One is from Google and the others are from other Jabber servers.
My Google settings look like this,
Most Jabber server need SSL and the App will automatically make this port 5223.
However Google will let you change theirs to use port 443.
One of the other 2 is using "Automatically find Port and Server" and is using port 5222 and No SSL.
Whilst most will use SSL and port 5223 it is not true for every Jabber server.
I can never remember if the Facebook chat ID is @facebook.chat.com or @chat.facebook.com (I suspect the second)
You are using the Chat ID and not your regular Facebook ID ?
I can't follow the iChat link on this page as I can't log in
https://en-gb.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
I would check the set up page but if that does not work I would work through all the settings possibles with the SSL, Ports, warn on insecure passwords etc.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I'm running 10.5.8 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion.
I'm running 10.5.8 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion. Thanks
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
I get this;
This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
Apple ID for 90 days.
What!
So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
How do I fix this.
ThanksBottom line is you can't - easily.
You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.
