Cannot load solutions 28.1 disk image on mountain lion 10.8.4

Hi
I am new to Mac, so please be patient..
I downloaded the latest zip file for solutions 28.1 disk and tried installing it on my up to date July 2013 v10.8.4 mountain lion MacBook Pro retina - no optical drive. It just hangs at preparing to install. Have tried all the suggestions including creating a new admin user and deleting a file in the resources folder as suggested here
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/install_canon_software.html#
Help!

LDPMovies :
The problem might pertain to an audio unit not compatible...
Goto MacHD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
and remove all to see if FCPx launches. If it does put them back one by one until you find the culprit.
I had the same problems described above, with the auvatool opening multiple iterations (signs given by FCPX that it made that many attempts?). Studio Engineer's solution worked perfectly. Success.
Thanks for the help.

I've found a solution to the problem Dictation in Mountain Lion

hi

and rustart your computer .
i hope it help alot of people ..

I have the dictation up and running in a new version of Pages but it just keeps running and running and not doing a thing. I could have typed my sentence 5 times by the time I waited for anything to happen.
I have used Dragon on the iPad and it is amazing. Seems that the iOS platform for the new iPad makes dictation a breeze. A world different than trying to make it work on a laptop device using Mountain Lion.
I think there are kinks to be worked out. Looking forward to an update

The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
You need to be speaking to those two companies.

Cannot open leopard password protected disk image

i had created a password protected disk image under leopard. Now that i have snow leopard i can't open it anymore with the right password. Since then i know that i have changed the name of the disk image also. does anyone know if either changing the name of the image or upgrading from leopard to snow leopord would explain why i cannot open the image anymore?

Neither change should matter. I suspect that the password is wrong, maybe missing a cap or lowercase item or a number. Find someone running Leopard, copy it over, and see if it'll open there.

HT3275 Can anyone help with this comment below. My Timecapsule cannot backup now: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Bill Smith's iMac 1.sparsebundle" is already in use.

Firefox 8.0.1-4.dmg - downloads - could not be opened. Quick Time Layer cannot open files in the "Disk Image" Format - What do I need to do?

I get the above message when I try to download Firefox updates.

That is a disk image file and you can't open that in an application.
<br />
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file with a double-click if necessary and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

"Repair disk" when installing Mountain Lion

I was just upgrading to Moutain Lion OS X right now when it tells me my disk needs repair. I tried, but it says "Macintosh HD couldn't be verified properly" (might not be exact wording, it's in Norwegian for me). When I click the "repair disk" button nothing happens, it just gives me the same message.
What are my options? I do have a back up (time machine), BUT it's from 2 years ago and thus I'd be losing a lot of files I have on here since after then, and that would really suck..

Then quit the Mountain Lion installer. Do you have a bootable system on your external hard drive? If so, then boot from it as follows:
Boot Using OPTION key:
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager appears.
Select the desired disk icon of the external HDD.
Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Once you have booted from the external drive do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder. After DU loads select your internal 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.
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.
Restart the computer. Locate the Mountain Lion installer in the Applications folder. Now see the following before proceeding if you want to make a bootable USB flash drive installer:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store. I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store" or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Repair Disk Error during Mountain Lion Install 2010 Macbook Pro

Hello All,
Last night like many of you I downloaded Mountain Lion to update to the newest Apple OS. During the install procress I was told my Harddrive was corrupted and needed to be repaired. After running the Verify Disk utility the following errors came up
Checking Catalog file,
Incorrect number of thread records
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking catalog hierarcchy.
Invalid volume file count
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Then I used the repair utlity on the same screen.
The message was that it had attempted to repair it three times and it could not do so.
During the repair the error message incorrect number of thread records appeared twice.
Afterwards it no longer showed that harddrive as mounted and I cannot boot back into it. When booting it gives me the option of the Install Boot, the Recovery Boot, or my Windows Partition boot.
Two Questions
Is there a way to boot back into the OS to recover my files, I have most backed up but would like to get a few more on my external HD?
My other question is how can I sucessfully repair the disk so that I can do the above question and also install mountain lion.
Thank you,
Andrew

If you have no current backups, DO NOT TRY TO BOOT.
If you want to preserve the data on the internal drive(s), you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

I cannot set-up subfolders in my inbox using Mountain Lion. I have several from before the upgrade to Mountain Lion that I created with no problem.

I cannot set-up any subfolder in my inbox. I am using Mountain Lion. I had no problem doing this in the past. It seems that I'm limited to the high level mailboxes - gmail, On My Mac, iCloud - are my only options in clicking through the create mailbox set-up steps. I can create subfolder in any root level mailbo or subdirectories. I've tried creating a subfolder under the Gmail mailbox and dragging it to the inbox but that doesn't work either. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP. Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear. Select the 'restore' icon on the right. When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility. Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.
Ciao.

these images are in .jpg format, much like the many other image files that can be shown and recognised.

the images on my imac are extremely important to me as im in the design industry and need them for many things.
any help or insight would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance

Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.

Lost bootcamp windows disk partition after mountain lion installation

Greetings all!
So I've had Bootcamp (windows 7 and snow leopard, 125gb of hard drive storage on each) on this MacBook Pro (late 2010) for over 2 years and I decided to upgrade to mountain lion.
As we all know that we can partition the disk under windows into smaller volumes, often labeled as C:, D:, E:, etc. my friend divided the hard drive storage for Windows into C: and G: when I first had windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2 years ago.
The problem emerged after I installed mountain lion couple days ago. I'm still able to choose the system I want it to run after i press and hold "option" key and it will log on windows without any problem. My windows desktop looks the same as what it was before installing. HOWEVER, my partition G: totally disappeared! Partition C: remains the same. I'm pretty sure that G: is still somewhere in the hard drive because the system tells me that out of 125GB of storage for windows, 50GB is used, which is the size of C:, and available is only 10GB! So the difference of about 60GB must have been taken by the lost partition G:. I tried searching specific files that I have in G: under windows but it returned me no results. So I'm thinking it might be virtual somewhere. The files in G: are very important to me, so I'm looking for help/suggestions here to restore that partition by all means.
Thank you very much for taking the time reading my post and I'm really looking forward to your reply!

Ok, I just found a way out this nightmare. The problem is that for a unknown reason, the password has to be entered as if it had been originally entered on a US keyboard layout (QWERTY)... So I had to find which keys I would have stroke if I had entered my password on a US keyboard thinking it was a FR one (AZERTY).

Puzzled by changes in downloading images with Mountain Lion

Have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and am puzzled by apparent changes in downloading web pages and images. When I save a web page, it is saved automatically to the Documents folder whereas with Snow Leopard it woudl be saved to the Downloads folder. When I download images, they go straight to the Downloads folder without a dialogue box coming up on the screen giving me options where the image is saved. Some of the downloaded images end up in a 'Original Images' folder in the Downloads folder, some simply appear in the folder as usual. Also, within the Downloads folder, in list view, this 'Original Images' folder and any other folder I create does not have the preceding arrow which when clicked allows the folder to open in a list of the sub-folders or files it contains.Where can I find information on this? Or is there something wrong with my version of ML?

I get the normal dialog box box when I choose Save As on a Safari page. How and where I want it saved.
This function is controlled by Finder, so I think step 1 would be to reset your Finder prefs.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash this file:
com.apple.finder.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Disk is locked - mountain lion help!!

Hello, I tried to download Mountain Lion yesterday and it said my disk needed repair. But it doesn't give me the option to repair it. I verified the disk permissions,etc. When I try to download it again, it says my hard drive is locked. I hope it didn't crash!!! Help!!

VK said for locked HDs and volumes at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2329689
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of locked HD"
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of locked HD"
Assumes you can boot into recovery mode and select the Terminal app from the Utilities menu. If so, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other one, hit the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes. Quit the Terminal app and try restoring the OS.
