Can't burn CD new iMac Mountain Lion
New iMac 21" 2011 model, Mountain Lion. When connect and use camera with USB port, everything works fine, but there is no disk icon for the camera and when I disconnect it says "not ejected properly" etc. And when I tried to burn a CD, I first put it in the superdrive and used Disk Utility to erase (it was a new CD-R). After erase completed. I clicked on "Burn" went through iTunes to burn some music, but nothing would be accepted (all grayed out). Again there was no disk icon to work with, which seems to be the trouble. Any ideas?
If you decide to calm down long enough to actually check:
1. you have to create a Playlist in iTunes in order to burn a CD.
2. If you get errors, it is most likely one or both of these: a) cheap media (the Superdrives are finicky, buy quality brands - mine only likes Verbatim) or b) your burn speed was too fast - burn any CD or DVD as slowly as possible, it cuts down on errors. I've never had a problem using those two methods.
3. So, which brand CDs did you use?

Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along. It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion. I just tried to use Migration Assistant. It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5. Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
Thanks!You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

New iMac Mountain Lion and 3rd party apps
Todays date is March 31, 2013.
If I were to buy a brand new iMac with Mountain Lion will I have any 3rd party Apps problems?
Mountain Lion significantly damaged my current computer and they are blaming it all on 3rd party apps, so I wonder if it is gonna continue with a brand new iMac computer?keith181 wrote:
Maybe my question was worded incorrectly. The question is not about my current computer, but about the new iMac being sold today.
Suppose I buy a brand new iMac today and tomorrow I decide to install new software that claim to be compatible with ML, is there a chance that this software might not truely be compatible with ML? If the answer is "Yes" then why bother buying another iMac?
Software sold on App Store - are there software there that do not work with ML? It really makes me wonder what the heck is going on these days.
To petermac87 - I had MacKeeper on my computer twice and both times I had to get rid of it, not sure if this software was causing problems or not, but it sure as heck did not solve any of my problems.
Hi Keith, no I understand what you are doing. You need to be careful with some third party programs. MacKeeper, as you have found, is a very destructive program, despite all their claims. It has ground some users Macs almost to a halt.
Most software from the App store and reputable developers such as Adobe, Roxio, etc. are well up to date. In fact,most software in the AppStore is Mountain Lion compatable. You will not find the dodgy Apps such as MacKeeper there. You need to remember that less is better when it comes to Macs. Your iMac does not need a swag of maintenance toolsas some people decide thry need. Clean My Mac, Anti-Virus programs, Novelty Apps etc. are unnecessary and will cause you nothing but problems.
Apps such as iPhoto, iTunes etc.are made to intergrate with the Mac OS and are therefore safe and reliable, but once you add something such as MacKeeper or Intego Security, then it most likely will cause conflicts.
So basically what I am saying is do not fill your iMac with a whole pile of unnecessary crapapps which will slow it down, cause conflict, etc. There are plenty of reliable Apps out there to do what you want. If the reviews are a little confusing, then please don't hesitate to drop back here and ask.
And of course backup your system from Day 1 so you can always return it to a working state it you do by chance install something that causes problems and you can't uninstall.
Good Luck

Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

How do I download Firefox onto new iMac/Mountain Lion
won't allow me to use/open download from Mozilla-
but cannot find 'app' in the Apple mac store
please advise. thanksOne of the new features of Mountain Lion - have you checked your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General Tab > if you have anything checked other than 'anywhere', you can only open apps downloaded outside of the app store by hitting the Control key while double clicking the installer icon.
-
I've clicked the "Download" link several times and the only thing that apparently happens is a little blue blip zipping toward the upper right corner of the screen. The icon to move into "Applications" never appears.
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Cannot email photos from iPhoto on new iMac mountain lion
I have a pop account for my mail. When I got the new computer with iCloud, I had to have my pop mail forwarded to my iCloud account. That all works fine. But I cannot select a few photos in iphoto and click on 'send' for either the pop or the icloud accounts. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet (which I am) and to try again later. I have spoken with tech support at Roadrunner, my pop account, and we have checked that all settings are correct. He thinks the problem must be with iCloud. Any ideas?
If you are using iPhoto try going into the preferences and the click accounts to make sure you email account is setup correctly.

How do I install the ScanSnap software on my new iMac / Mountain Lion?
I have been everywhere trying to figure this out. Fujitu's site tells me to simply update the software already installed. Problem is that it's not already installed. I don't have a disk drive and so I cannot install with the disk. I downloaded v3.2 (which seems to be the software itself) from the Fujitsu site but when I double click to install I get a small box indicating 'The following disk images cannot be opened' and underneath it leasts the ScanSnap.dmg with a reason of 'not recognized'. I know this is a popular scanner (I have the S1300) and so I am hoping someone has faced this and figured it out. Fujitsu's site is rather confusing on the topic.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Entourage 2008 not being recognized as installed after migration to new iMac Mountain Lion.
Hello Everyone!
I;ve been browsing for answers to my problems for 2 days now. Office 2008 is not being recognized as installed on my machine. i have 2011 but i prefer Entourage as my defailt email client.
What happens: when i try to access Entourage i get a getting started window asking me to either register my product or learn more. when i try installing the update 12.3.6 for Office 2008 it tells me it cannot be installed because the software componenet necessary for installation is not found on the disc. from this I gather the actual Office is not being recognized as installed.
What I tried so far: I did all that was suggested on forums, such as checking to see if the MS office 2008 is in Applications, nothing was changed like the name of software or location of any of its components, tried getting the latest updates for the MS office 2008, tried installing on another user, none of these worked.
I am still to try reinstalling but the disc i have is an upgrade from 2004 which will prob not work in this case, since anyway I understand that .dmg is not supported anymore.
What can I do? anything that doesn't require me to use 2011, i do not like the Outlook in 2011. is there a way to activate my install of 2008 and use that? i really like Entourage, Outlook doesn't satisfy me.
please helpReference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. -
I just bought a new iMac and I am new to the Desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11, 2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so What? Thanks
Just check in with this link when ML is released for instructions on how to claim your upgrade.

I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.
Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete. -
i have a macbook pro can can log into a server, but my new iMac with lion can't even see the server--both are over wifi- how do i get the new iMac to see the server?
Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

Old iMac with Snow Leopard to new iMac with Lion - can I do this?
Hi folks,
1. I have a 6 year old iMac running Snow Leopard (can't upgrade to Lion)
2. Just bought a new iMac running Lion.
3. I want to migrate all accounts, files, apps, etc from old iMac to new iMac (about 150 Gb worth)..
4. I would normally connect both iMacs either with an Ethernet cable or via wi-fi network and run Setup Assistant to move everything to the new iMac.
Based on my experience doing this on other Macs I have, I know it's gonna take 8 to 10 hours to migrate everything over to the new iMac so I'm looking for ways to migrate so my iMac isn't tied up all day and I don't have to spend all day in front of the computer making sure all is o.k. So, if I make a bootable clone on a separate portable drive using SuperDuper, can I hook that drive up (instead of old iMac) to my new iMac and run Setup Assistant that way? That would free up the old iMac to use while the new iMac crunches away copying all those files from the portable drive. Will that work? Has anyone done this successfully? Any cautions or things to watch for?
Thanks everyone,
EdLinc,
Thanks for the info, but I want to use an external FireWire drive as the target disk, not the old iMac. I'd need to keep the external FireWire drive connected to the old iMac in order to use the screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. Could I just connect the FW drive to the new iMac and then start up the new iMac in hopes it would "recognize" the external FireWire drive through Setup Assistant? -
I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat. -
I have an iMac with version 10.5.8 Mac OS X, can i upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion S X from the Apple web page.
When I tried, it said I had to have 10.6 or later............how do I get there?No. You need to phone the online Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD.
