Change of display colour in Chrome in Mountain Lion
When I am using chrome, running 10.8.1, occasionally the browser changes the colours slightly making webpages look more washed out, when i cmd-Q and chrome closes the desktop flashes back to its normal colour.
I am getting this exact same problem. Mine becomes more blueish and washed out like you side. Mostly when I open the Facebook page and now when I opened this forum it happened as well. Weird...

How to display library folder permanently in mountain lion
How to display library folder pemanently in Mountain Lion 10.8.2
On OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, ~/Library is hidden. If you want to show it always on Finder, open Terminal and type: chflags nohidden ~/Library
After typing that, the Library folder will appear on the user folder, on Finder. Apart, Apple has released OS X 10.8.3 with new features and fixes, so open Software Update and install the OS X update -

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, the text in my nav bar and inside browsers (generally all around) seem to be smaller and possibly different (thinner) to what they were before.
I would like to revert back to their previous appearance, but after reading various threads and playing around, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the font has been changed, the size adjusted, or the screen/display resolution changed.
I tried suggestions like clearing font cache with Onyx and testing different Display resolutions, but didn't manage to get it back to how it was before the OS upgrade.
Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction please. TIA.Could you post a screenshot showing your main menu bar and the Finder sidebar, please? This way we could compare the fonts used.
For me the system fonts look like this in Mt. Lion on a 17" MBP with the "Display" System Preferences set to "Best for Built-in Display":
I have the Finder's View option set to use 16pt fonts, but other than that is there no way to change the the fonts used without changing the Display resolution.
One more option you may want to check are the "Contrast" settings in the "Accessibilty" System Preferences. If you set the contrast to a very high value will the text appear to be very thin and hard to read. -
How do I change a port in Mac OS X Mountain lion
Apparently Logmein makes use of port 2002 in mac OS X Mountain Lion. I need to use that for some new accounting software. How do I change the part in Mountain Lion and how would I do an install of Logmein on the computer to use another port or how, with Logmein currently installed do I change from port 2002 to some other port. The major question is how do you change port assignments in OS x Mountain Lion?
Thanks for you help.
Tom in DallasThere isn't a generic way to do what you want. Not on Microsoft Windows. Not on OS X.
The ICANN registry of port numbers exists so that these messes don't happen, or don't happen very often. So that there are no port conflicts among various applications, and there are ways to request ephemeral (temporary) ports, and (for some applications) to find out which port(s) the application happens to have allocated and is using. In this case, it appears that folks at LogMeIn and with the accounting software didn't avail themselves of the ICANN port database. They're using the preferences mechanism as a work-around for that.
Have a look at ipfw and pfctl tools here (see man ipfw and man pfctl at the Terminal.app prompt), and see if you can figure out how you're going to map just one local application that's opening 2002 to some other port, without disturbing the other application that's mapping to that same port (and colliding). This is the remapping mechanism and akin to what can happen at some firewalls, and not the requested control over the selected port. It's not set up to remap local application conflicts.
The selected port is either a configuration option within the specific tool, or it's hard-coded within the tool. There's no generic registry of applications and ports. That's what the ICANN port registry is for.
The worst-bad-ugly approach is to dump out the executable code, reverse engineer it, and patch the preferred port right into the code; to change the code without using the original source code. Or some tool-specific configuration file or preferences setting, as and if available. -
2010 Mac Mini display and network issues after Mountain Lion installation
I just installed Mountain Lion on my 2010 Mac Mini, but now the display won't work and it isn't showing up on my network. I have it hooked up to my TV (I don't have another screen for it) via HDMI. Also, I've mainly used this computer by using the share screen function with my laptop, so I don't have a keyboard or mouse for it either. The Mini is no longer showing up on my laptop's network list... Any suggestions?
I would see if you borrow a USB keyboard and mouse
from some one, because otherwise trouble shooting the
problem will be next to impossible as sometimes the fixes
and diagnostics require the keyboard (PRAM reset, Hardware
Test, etc.). -

I need some H E L P !Same problem with my MacBookPro and Mountain Lion. Passwords on the Apple site (like this support site) work fine. My brokerage account does not and they tell me it's not them, but an Apple issue. Also, serial numbers on some of my smaller aps have disappeared; at least one vendor told me it was a common Mountain Lion experience.
I like Mountain Lion but I liked autofill and solid app validation even better. This is a turd in the punchbowl. Hard to believe that a company bent on zero flaws would let this slip through.Could it be due to the sandboxing or other security measure? Is Apple becoming like the US government -- so bent on "security" that it can't fulfill its own mission? -

Stand-by button on Cinema HD display doesn't work after Mountain Lion upgrade
Hi,
After I upgraded my Mac mini (spring '09) to Mountain Lion it appears that the buttons on the side of my Cinema HD display doesn't work. There is a setting in sys preferences that should put the Mac in stand-by when the power button is pressed. This doesn't work after I upgraded to OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have similar experience. Anyway to fix it?
Thanks,

Can I change a purchased license of Mac OS Mountain Lion to a Mac OS Lion one?
Hi:
I thought my iMac 5,1 was capable to run Mac OS Mountain Lion, but after purchase it on App Store it seems not to work. I can't download it and I get a message that tells it's not compatible with my iMac.
So, I suppose I have to update to Mac OS Lion, what seems to be the newest SO it can run. Is it true? Is there any way to change my unused licence of MO Mountain Lion to a Mac OS Lion one?
Thans a lot in advance for your help.There was another user here a couple of weeks ago who was told be Apple they would not get a refund, even though they hadn't downloaded the version of OS X they paid for yet. The reasoning being that it could be used by them at some time. Or said another way, there's no way (apparently) to remove a purchased item from your App Store list.
However, your case is different. The App Store shouldn't have allowed you to purchase Mountain Lion in the first place. It's supposed to do a hardware compatibility check before you even get as far as making the actual purchase. -
Colour profile problem in Mountain Lion
Hi all
Setting up a brand new MacBook Pro (10.8.4) for my boss and I have installed CS5 Standard suite on there. He’s a standard user, not an admin. I have installed three ICC profiles in his user’s profile folder (HD>Users>[User]>Library>ColorSync>Profiles) but they are not showing up in the list of profiles that Photoshop or Indesign recognise, even after restarting the programs. I copied them to HD>Library>ColorSync>Profiles and HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Color>Profiles>Recommended also but with the same result. I made sure he had Read & Write access to the profiles and to the folders – still no luck. After that I repaired the permissions, again no success.
Copies of the same profile files are being used on various macs and PCs without any problems. Quark 9 can see them. When logged in as an admin PS/ID can see the profiles.
I’m confused - any help appreciated!
IainWow - that's done it. Thanks - I had forgotten about that utility. It found something wrong with each of the profiles - didn't make a note but it all sounded like minor stuff ("padding", "header") so I repaired them and they showed immediately in PS/ID. Guess Mountain Lion is more picky about profiles than Snow Leopard (what our other Macs run).
thanks again,
Iain -
Satellite C660-1J2 - Changing the display colour
HI
hope someone can assist me this is new computer, a splash screen came up saying that the screen colour was set to high and that uses CPU power or you can set it to lower or not see this screen and you can change in effects.
Were or how can I get this back to change the setting?
Hopefully could be kind enough to set me in the right area
Thanks in Advance
Tony MillerHi
I am sorry thatI did not make myself clear, I will try the tosh is c660 1j2
I cannot show screenshot as it does not appear since I select low, I will try and explain.
When you start win7 after the desktop has loaded a little splash screen appeared with writing saying something like "you can change this later in effect as you have set it to use higher cpu" (and it says toshiba top left)
there are three buttons in the splash screen
high which is default setting which uses more CPU powers,
low
don't show this again
if I remember correctly is has something to do with the depth or resolution of colour.
Hopefullt you or someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks for your assistance in advance
