Circle with cross through it flash at boot up twice but boots into OSX mountain lion anyways
Hi I have a Late 2012 i5 Mac mini never gave me a issue till now. so Iv installed a OCZ SSD and I was goin to install the OS on the SSD but when i went on Disk Utility the 2 drives were red and and window popped up saying "FIX IT" or "cancel" so i pressed fix it and it turned them into a fusion drive which i thought wasn't passable on the i5 model so i was happy with that installed fine and on the first boot it stayed on the apple logo so i restarted it again and with in 2 seconds into the OS with no issue use for a few hours and wanted to restart the mac mini and iv noticed that the circle with the cross flashed for a second and stayed on apple logo i switch off the mac and restarted it instantly came on no issue so no iv realized i can restart it with out 90% of the time it getting suck on a apple logo also more recently its started to flash the circle with cross every time it boots but runs fine boots extremely fast and 3 seconds from off to login but the logo flashing is making kinda parnoyed i now if its there if means HDD failure but the SSD is healthy and new and could it be a OS mountain lion issue iv tried seperating the drive through a KGO but it wont let me so question
anyhave the same issue and if so did u find out how to stop it?
Open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences and select the Fusion Drive as your startup disk.

Imac 27" 10.6.8 Internal HDD to boot on OSX Mountain Lion
I have a internal HDD which was on my IMac 27" with OS 10.6.8. The logic board has apparent passed on and I needed the data on the internal drive.
Is it possible to boot that drive / or see the data on a Macbook Pro - Mountain Lion?Yes you will have to remove the drive and get an enclosure or dock for it so you can connect it to the other system.
You won't boot off of it but boot off your regular drive and mount this as an eternal drive. The will be readable (assuming it has not been damaged when the system died).

did the update to Maverick from OSX ML and boy has it slowed down my whole computer big time, what a mistake to have done this..... the whole computer has dramattically slowed, I thought Apple advertised be faster and slicker and better use of resources and I got 16gb Ram and 500gb HDD and 3.6 ghz processor, OSX Lion was snappier than this what a big mistake since this was installed.
Thanks god I did a disk image of the machine before I did it Ill go back and stay with OSX ML until Apple sorts problems I see many issues has risen and also Mail is playing up big time so who screwed that up?
whittyCheck your Activity Monitor to identify what might be slowing your system. Mavericks is as fast, if not faster, as Mountain Lion for me and I'm using a 2009 MacMini with 8 Gigs of RAM.

Firefox worked merely hours ago on my computer, had to delete as I explained above because of a dodgy toolbar from some website, deleted firefox, tried re-installing and won't work. Tried links on other help pages to download older firefox version and comes up with page "Whoops are you lost firefox page" and redirects to where I was. Very frustrating. I just want my firefox the way it was ?!
Firefox 17.0 and above requires Mac 10.6 or higher. The last version made for Mac 10.5.8 is Firefox 16.0.1.

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?
OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.
No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before. It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac. On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

Cannot start up, get Grey circle with slash through it
My 12" gets hung up at grey start up screen, i have tried to reboot from 10.3 disk and holding option key, the screen then goes to a "not allowed" grey circle with slash through it. No clue what to do. HELP
thank you peterHello Again peter,
As I asked HERE,
Why are you using the "10.3 disk", and not the Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD?
As the computer specs, in your Above Post, re displayed as: G4 PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4).
Here's an additional KB Article You see a blank, gray screen, to review.

When I try to drag the iphoto library to the external disk a forbidden (circle with slash through it) icon appear. Why do you suppose it is preventing me from adding to external drive? These are pictures I have taken. I believe it cannot find the original file. Please help.
Thanks.What happens if you try to Option-drag the library to the EHD? The same icon?
Make sure the EHD is formatted Mac OS X Extended (journaled) with Ownership set to be ignored:

I had an accident with my MCPR 2012 and spilt water over the display. The unit works fine and boots but display is dead.
It works through the tv fine via hdmi using bootcamp into windows 8... but for the life of me i cant get it to boot into osx at all. Tried to hold option key on boot but nothing comes up at all. Is it something to do with the hdmi on boot and drivers? Want to sell it as is on ebay but first i need to show pics of it booting up into osx. Any ideas guys? TIAcfcboy77 wrote:

You will need to take it in for servicing. If the display is dead then the unit is not working fine.
Cheers

I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine. I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
Unsupported operating system
The router software supports these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
- Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
- Mac OS X 10.7 or later
I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
Thanks
GaryAll i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard 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.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. 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.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size. -
With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?
Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware.
