Constant screen refresh when restarting after installation of mountain lion

I've just installed mountain lion . When it restarts I get the main screen then it has a green tint then reddish then refreshes and starts all over again. I left it on all night ant it was still doing the same in the morning.
Restarted in safe mode, disc is fine showing no errors.
I have re-installed lion using time machine and all is well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Don't quote me on this, but I think that the rules may have changed for Mountain Lion and you may need either 2 matching pairs or at least matching modules installed in both bottom slots.
as per > iMac: How to remove or install memory
Additional notes i5 and i7 Quad Core iMac computers come with both top memory slots populated. These computers will not start up if only a single DIMM is installed in any bottom slot; these computers should operate normally with a single DIMM installed in any top slot. Core Duo iMac computers should operate normally with a single DIMM installed in any slot, top or bottom. ("Top" and "bottom" slots refer to the orientation of the slots in the pictures below. "Top" refers to the slots closest to the display; "bottom" refers to the slots closest to the stand).

Macbook keeps restarting after ram and mountain lion upgrade

I installed an 8gb ram from OWC to my macbook (late 2008 aluminum body model) and upgraded to mountain lion after having leopard for years. I decided to erase the hard disk completely and upgrade to snow leopard and then download the mountain lion software. I had installed the new 8Gb ram on leopard before any of the two upgrades. Ever since I had the upgrade the computer restarts randomly and takes me to a grey screen saying than an error ocurred. It mostly happens when watching netflix or any other type of streaming video. I tried using chrome and firefox and it only helped for a little bit. I had to take my macbook to my local apple store to get it checked and apparently the ram was not positioned correctly. After they "positioned correctly" the computer worked fine. But now a few hours later I'm back at my apartment and the computer keeps restarting. Please help me with the issue.

After installation of Mountain Lion Unable to use Microsoft ----

After installing Mountain Lion I am unable to open Microsoft Word, Excel, Power point and entourage. Also Quark Express.
What do I need to do?

Hi babscott,
I assume you are using QuarkXPress 6.5 or earlier. As these are not Intel-native, these versions need Apple's emulation environment (called Rosetta) to run on modern Macs. Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta anymore.
So you need to upgrade to at least version 7.0.1 (9.3. is current) to get QuarkXPress to run on Mountain Lion. Upgrades are possible from any version.
As Csound1 correctly points out, QuarkXPress 9.3 is not yet officially certified on Mountain Lion. Still, most Quark users though can run it just fine on Mountain Lion. There is one known issue (besides the Gatekeeper limitation when installing) with some Graphics Cards, removing "Welcome Screen.xnt solves" that. More info here: http://forums.quark.com/t/28997.aspx?PageIndex=4#114829

Imac running slow after installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I purchased Mountain Lion OSX v.10.8.2 to access icloud. Since installing imac running slow, especially connecting to web sites.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
Note: I will respond ONLY to the original poster.

Time Machine will not work after installation of Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion and currently can not set up Time Machine via my AirPort and Iomega HDD. I worked flawless prior to the Mountain Lion installation. Can anyone assist.

Your best bet is to call apple tech support at 800-694-7466 or go the the genius bar.

My Mac Pro keep restarting after install OSX Mountain Lion!

I had start up errors, took forever to start they keep restarting again and again.
How can I fix this problems?
Thx!!

smc reset
fixes (should fix) random shut downs and sleep
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
it is not that, then an app may be crashing causing the OS to crash and then you may have a setting that restarts your computer should it crash.
You might also want to attempt a reinstall from the recovery partition
To get to the recovery partition restart your computer, hold CMD+R down when you hear the boot up chime. Open Disk Utility first (verify your boot disk and repair if needed) and then close it and reinstall ML.

Screen Brightness control disappeared after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Hello all.
I've just upgraded to Lion, and now I can't adjust the brightness of my screen anymore!
Anyone else has this problem?

I was having the same problem after I completely tore down my Macbook Pro mid-2010 in order to replace the keyboard. (Phew!) After re-asssembling, everything was working again except for the screen brightness buttons (F1,F2). I figured it was a bad keyboard, but after zapping the p-ram, the brightness buttons now work as they should. Thanks for the tip!

Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Aperture doesn't open after clean installation of Mountain Lion

I have just done a clean installation of mountain lion.
After that, I have downloaded my copy of aperture from the store and installed it ( i think, just becase when done, at the store says that it is installed )
But when I try to launch aperture from de applications menu, an error appears and aperture quits immediatelly. The error says that, "an error has occurred. You should reinstall aperture or could be your operating system is not supported", more or less, translating it from the Spanish.
I have been searching for the installed files with finder, but nothing seems to be installed at the hard disk. Even the library that tipically appears at the Pictures folder doesn't appear.
Could somebody help me, please?
kind regards to everybody.

Many thanks for your answer.

Why does my mouse make blank spaces on my screen as I move it? It started happening after I downloaded Mountain Lion

Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it? It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
I can't get passed the complete installation
What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application. If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.
