Can't use 5.6 utility with Mountain Lion

I just got a new Airport Extreme - trying to use the OLDER Airport Express and non of the Airport utilities will work with it and 5.6 won't install.
Help!
Thanks!

AirPort Utility 5.6 is the last version capable of administering your original Express. It is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

How can i use an external screen on mountain lion when i'm running on battery power?

Hey all:
I just upgraded from snow leopard to Mountain Lion, and i use external screen, keyboard and mouse all the time....
On Mountain Lion it's perfect when the power adaptor is connected as soon as you close the LID your external screen becomes the primary screeen and it's fully functional desktop (no mirroring or extension screen)
But the problem is when i'm in battery power, in snow leopard i used to close my lid my mac goes to sleep then i wake it up using the mouse and immediately open the LID so it doesn't go to sleep again and now i'm running on battery power with a primary external screen.
Any idea how to use an external screen on mountain lion while i'm on battery power? (i know i can use mirroring but i want just 1 primary screen and the laptop screen would be turned off )
Thanks for the help.....

Thanks again
You can't with the lid closed, that's one of the rules for clamshell mode.

I use to use ichat and now with mountain lion i only have facetime. i try to keep in touch with my family thru the old ichat, will facetime work as easiely ? is it easy to connect with this app? thanks, gilbert

I use to use ichat and now with Mountain Lion I only have FaceTime, will this work as easy as ichat? I try to keep in touch with my son and his family, he has a Mac also. I have never tried to do a video chat with my new Mountain Lion. I have set-up FaceTime and thought I would throw the question out before we try and get together. Thanks, Gilbert

Ichat is now called Messages and is in your Applications folder.

How can I use the setup utility with my gaming adapter?

How can I use this program (the cd that came with my netgear wireless game adapter) to setup my gaming adapter? I want to configure my gaming adapter but it seems like i cannot do so? How can I achieve this?

Hi again,
thought a bit about this...
This thing looks to me like a special sort of wireless router with one ethernet port, which also is a bit old I guess.
With nowadays wireless router, the configuration usually is made using a Web-Browser like Safari or Firefox and accessing the router through a built-in webpage.
The IP adress of the router is also usually 192.168.0.1.
Have a look inside the Netgear-Documentation, to see if this also possible here.

How can I use "Preview 5.0" in mountain lion?

Heya,
The scaled-back features for making notation in Mountain Lion Preview is getting me down. I was using Preview to make detailed, indexed, correlated notes on research materials, but the cosmetic changes to highlight and note tools just can't meet my needs; there are too few options. I've lifted the old version of Preview (5.0.3) from an earlier version of the OS, hoping to uise that for my notating, but it cannot be opened:
Note: I renamed it to prevent confusion. Having the original, expanded features back would really help with my work. Anyone know a way to get the old Preview to open?
Cheers!

There must be a reason - anyone know what in the OS is blocking this, and why Apple would go to these extremes?
Often, it is because the system level files the app relies on to function have changed enough in the new OS that they won't work with the old version of the app.
You can get an idea of what's involved by launching the current version of Preview, then launching Activity Monitor & double-clicking on the Preview process in Activity Monitor's list of processes. In the window that pops up, select "Open Files & Ports." You will see that it requires various System level files like frameworks, extensions, & data files. If any of these files work differently in the new OS version (& many of them usually do), then the old version of the app is likely to be incompatible with them.

Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

Can't access Palm User Data with Mountain Lion

Hi
I am now using Mountain Lion (10.8.6) and can not acces Palm User Data which has all my contacts. I'm not very computer savvy and am not even sure what my old computer was running that allowed me to open my Palm Desktop software so I'm not very comfortable trying to install another OS just for this application. Is there another way to open the Palm User Data with another application? I tried Text Edit and the data is corrupt. Or is there any 3rd party software that could help?
thank you.

It will show a number (problaby 1500) set it as 1400 or lower and click on ok! After that, everything will work again! I hope that helped you all! Thanks.

I can't use some software since downloading Mountain Lion. Help?

I can't use Adobe Flash (vers. 8) anymore because it's a PowerPC applicaiton, and I can't log onto the World Community Grid anymore and, when I tried to reinstall the software, I was told that it "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and that I need to alter my security preferences. I wasn't able to find anything in System Preferences that could help me. Also Spaces has disappeared, and that was an incredibly useful tool for me. Anybody know what I can do? Should I just uninstall Mountian Lion?

Captfred is pointing out a very good thing, which is the middle tier option of allowing only app store and signed developers. This is a pretty good tool and put there for the ease of security.
Although I have experienced some apple software that doesn't have a signed security clearance either
Hence my setting. Keep constant remote backups!
I had a sneaky suspicion you were referring to Flash.app and not just the player. You will also have to get it on there. They offer a 30 day trial period, and with CS6 things are a lot faster and a lot smoother!
I highly recommend anyone to upgrade to the latest line if they are coming from an older version. Things are where you expect them to be and improvements have been made to the way it processes and loads!

Solution for using power pc apps with mountain lion

Options for using my Power Pc Apps with Mountian Lion? Specificly I need to use Citrix ICA Client editor.

You would have to erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Lion in order to use PPC apps. Or you could try to Upgrade to a newer version of the PPC software that would no longer be PPC based.
Hope this helps

Can't mirror to my Vizio with Mountain Lion???

I just downloaded and installed Mountain Lion and have lost the ability to mirror my Macbook Pro to my 32" Vizio. I am using a Macbook Pro 17" (May 2012 and max out on everything) and it was working fine until I upgraded. What gives? Anyone have a solution other than, "restart the computer?" That's why I left the PC world! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry forgot to mention I am sending signal to Vizio by HDMI.

How can I sync Exchange/GroupWise calendar with Mountain Lion and iOS 6.1?

On my iPhone I have defined the GroupWise server and I'm receiving every calendar events but it doesn't sync to my computer.
Any idea why and how to fix it?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.
