  • Incorrect App Store acknowledgement of previous purchases and install after Mountain Lion

    Why do my purchases in the app store still say "Download" for OSX Mountain Lion and Lion and "Install" for FaceTime after successful Mountain Lion install. Lion and Facetime have also been previously installed.

    For Mountain Lion and Lion, you can use the download to create an OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion install drive | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
    If you have problems with an app like FaceTime, you can re download the app using the same Apple ID and apps can be re downloaded on all your authorized Macs.
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    "You may auto-download Eligible Content or download previously-purchased Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers."

    If you don't want to re download, just ignore the Download button at the App Store.

  • TS1413 computer stuck after mountain lion osx install

    computer is stuck after trying to download mountain lion osx?

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there.

  • Serial number issue after Mountain Lion clear install.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with Aperture 3 (v.3.4), evry time I'm rebooting OSX (Moutain Lion) Aperture is asking again for serial no.
    I have Aperture 2 + Aperture 3 upgrade serials no.
    After puting them, Aperture is working fine until next restart of OSX.
    Already fixed database and removed aplication settings and still the same issue.
    Please advise.

    You may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • After mountain lion is installed my mail is duplicating my past sent messages

    For some reason my email is duplicating messages that I have received from couple of the senders atleast four to five times a day.  Even after repeatedly deleting the email it still appears again.  hence I have 45 to 70 unread emails.  Please advise.
    thanks,
    Jeff

    So how did you set that in the Users & Groups Pane? The choices are:
    Defaults (which includes the Orange among other pics)
    Recents
    Camera (that would be the built in camera)

  • Expose does not work after Mountain Lion was installed

    When I upgraded F3 expose does not work

    Do a backup before doing anything. To delete them you will need to enable the Root User and log in as the Root User. You need to be very careful while logged in as the Root User because you can delete any file and could potentially ruin your system. As soon as the non-functioning applications are deleted, log out and user your normal account. Did I mention doing a backup?

  • MacBook Pro i7 crashes after clean install of Mountain Lion

    I have a Core i7 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM. Running MacOS 10.7.4 I was having almost daily crashes. So I did a super clean install of Mountain Lion (reformat hard drive, install fresh copy of Mountain Lion by booting from a USB install drive, update to 10.8.2, bring in user data from Time Machine backup without using Migration Assistant, etc.). Unfortunately the crashes continue - I've had three in the last two days. I've provided the crash log below. The Mac crashed and spontaneously restarted on its own. Does anyone have any idea of what the issue is?
    By the way, I looked in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and the crash detailed below did not leave a log. Is there someplace else I should be looking for a full crash log following a kernal panic?
    Thanks, Eric

  • ILife missing after clean install of Mountain Lion

    Hello, my MBA is the late 2011 and I just did the format and install of Mountain Lion but I can't find the apps in the app store under purchased. How can I download and install the iLife?!

    I'm having the same problem too! I installed ML last night and iLife was gone.

  • While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?

    While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
    Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
    When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
    Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?

    Hello John!
    Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
    It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
    This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
    or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
    An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
    Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
    Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
    1.Erase the volume
    2.Install Mountain Lion clean
    3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
    4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
    If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
    That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
    Yes.
    This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

  • How to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion on MBA without usb?

    I purchased a new MBA last November and I want to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion (for various reasons), however, the MBA didn't come with an install usb drive from Apple.  When I go to the app store it says I need to buy the OS even though it's already on my computer.  After all the searching I've done I can't find the answer on what I need to do.  Do I need to buy Mountain Lion even though it came with my computer?  Please help, thanks!

    If you purchased your MacBook Air in November, it means that your Mac already came with OS X Mountain Lion, so even if the App Store tells you that you haven't purchased it, the truth is that it's registered to your Apple ID and you can redownload it without any problem.
    Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start up into OS X Recovery and try to reinstall OS X. It will ask you for the Apple ID you used to set up your MacBook Air, so introduce it. If the OS X download starts, close the installer by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the window, because you can reinstall OS X.
    Then, open Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. Make a backup of your data before erasing your disk

  • Problem with mail after mountain lion install

    Mail has become sluggish to locking up after Mountain Lion install.  I get the color wheel each time I start typing in an address to send an email.  I also get the wheel when i am typing an address or name in any web page in Safari.  Is this a Mail Problem or an Address Book problem?

    It sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned up. Have your repaired permissions or cleared caches since you got the computer. Often times when upgrading operating systems permissions get screwed up and it causes issues.  Go to disk utility in your "other" folder in applications.  Select disk utility, then on the left hand side choose Mac HD then click REPAIR permissions in the center section. Wait for it to finish, restart your computer, then test.

  • Cannot select buttons in FileMaker after Mountain Lion Install

    Because the installer claimed I'd tinkered with my partitions (I haven't, unless accessing BootCamp from Parallels counts), I had to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. That in itself was a pain because I could not successfully create an installer on a USB flash disk after several attempts. I had to boot over the internet. After successfully creating a virgin 10.8 system, I restored my system from Time Machine, last backup a few minutes before I started this process.
    None of my mail configuration carried over -- rules, signatures, smart folders all lost. Also lost SignatureProfiles preferences, including the registration code. Those are all things I can painfully recreate. However, I am unable to use FileMaker Pro. When it opens, I am unable to select buttons in the format bar, buttons in my applications, and can't resize the window. I have removed ~/Library/Preferences/*trackpad* and *mouse* to no avail. Removed ~/Library/Preferences/*FileMaker* files (all the way back to FileMaker 5). To no avail.
    I created a new account on my system and FileMaker runs fine.
    Which preference file is corrupt?

    Okay, I logged out, logged in as root, copied all of top root level directories into the new account and changed their ownership appropriately. FileMaker works. I deleted my account, and renamed the new account using apple method to my old account name, and FileMaker fails. Renamed it again to a different name, and it works. I guess 'sbradley' is an invalid account name
    Still wishing I could recover my rules and signatures.

  • HT1553 I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
    When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
    1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
    2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
    3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
    4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
    5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
    You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
    As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML.

  • Clean install of Mountain Lion and permissions issue

    I'm doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and after the initial install I noticed that all of my disk volumes (and their contents) showed the owner as "Fetching...." (though I still had access because the "staff" group has read/write access.
    Doing a search, I learned that this means that the new system doesn't recognize the user id (UID) of these files/folders.
    I know why. In my old system, I set up a second administrative user when I was troubleshooting a Snow Leopard problem, and just started using the new user (and eventually deleted the troublesome one).
    So, the UID for my Snow Leopard user (which created all these files and folders on my other volumes, including my Time Machine volume) has UID = 502.  The new ML user I set up has UID = 501.  That's why when booted into ML all the owners are "Fetching..."
    The question is how to fix this.  I see three options:
    1.  Don't worry about it, as I have access.  But I have read that having the OS constantly trying to figure out the owner of files can be a drag on system speed
    2.  Use chown to change all the ownership of all my files on the various volumes
    3.  Set up a new administrative user on ML (that will presumably have UID=502) and delete the other user (with UID = 501)
    [And yes, I did try repairing permissions with Disk Utility, but that doesn't affect volumes other than the boot volume, of course]
    Thanks to all.

    @macjack...
    Thanks for your response.  I did exactly what you suggested when I set things up.  I installed ML, rebooted, and it of course booted into Setup Assistant.  I used SA to migrate.  The permissions in the User directory and the boot volume were just fine.  It's the other volumes (Time Machine, data volumes, backup volumes, etc.) that have the owner showing "Fetching...."  and that's because when I installed ML, the first user setup was assigned UID = 501 while all these files/folders were created by a (Snow Leopard) user with UID = 502. 

  • How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion?

    I have an older MacBook Pro that I'm selling. I upgraded to Mounbtain Lion, but there was not an option to do a clean install (wiping everything clean and starting fresh). I want to do this to make sure all of my data is removed before I sell it. How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion in order to accomplish this? In the past, from DVDs, it was easy. Thanks!

    Sure, but I would imagine that it will be common for people to sell their Macs with upgraded OSs.
    That was only OK when you bought the Upgrade DVD and included both the original system discs and the disc you used to upgrade the OS.
    Since Apple has now gone to the Download only model of OS X you now always need to install the Original OS or an Upgraded version that you have the DVD disc for.
    If a Mac came with Leopard and you upgraded to Snow Leopard and then to Lion or Mt Lion you must remove Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall either Leopard or Snow Leopard and include all the discs for that system, Originals and the Upgrde Snow Leopard DVD.
    If your system came Snow Leopard and you installed Lion or Mt Lion thenn again you remoeve Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and include the original discs that came with the system
    If your system came with Lion and you upgraded to Mt Lion then you remove Mt Lion and reinstall Lion.
    The reason for all of that is because with the Download only OS all upgrades are TIED to YOUR Apple ID, not to the computer. So the new owner can not reinstall Lion or Mt Lion, whichever you upgraded to, without using your Apple ID.
