Distorted Powerpoint Transitions in Mountain Lion only

Issue: Powerpoint transitions and animation of text and images sliding in from right to left displays unwanted distortion in the moving elements on screen.
Hardware: 21.5 iMac, 2.7Ghz i5, nVIDIA GeForce GT640M 512MB (this has also been seen on 27 iMacs and a 15 MacBook Pro)
Software: Mountain Lion 10.8.3, Microsoft Office 2011 (14.3.2)
If an external display is attached = no distortion
If Lion 10.7.5 is used = no distortion
If Office 2008 is used = no distortion
If Retina MBP is used = no distortion
the common denominators are Mountain Lion, Office 2011 & the GeForce GT640M, if any of these are replaced the issue fails to arise.
A full erase and reinstall on all machines fails to remove the issue.
Kind regards, Adrian

So an update, in case anyone cares. Troubleshooting, I tried replacing everything I could, in ascending order of desparation.
1) Created a second user. FTP still slow
2) Deleted all the network plist files. FTP still slow
3) Deleted all the system configuration plists. FTP still slow.
4) Restored from a Time Machine backup. FTP still slow
5) Erased and reformatted my HD. Restored from a Time Machine backup. FTP still slow
5) Erased and reformatted my HD. Did a clean install. FTP fast.
I then was able to use Migration Assistant to restore my all my settings and data from the Time Machine backup. Obviosly, I did not transfer my old network settings. Been a couple of days, so far so good. Can max my 30/25 internet again via FTP
Obviously there was some sort of fubar network setting. I did my best to erase every network and configuartion plist file I could find in step 3 and 4, but clearly I missed some, as the issue persisted until I nuked everything. Overall, this was very frustrating and time consuming to troubleshoot.

Smooth transition from Mountain Lion Server to Mavericks Server 3.0!!

After an new OS release that are always complaints about installation and configuration problems. First comers to using any new software tool provide valuable feedback we generally hope will help improve the new product. It's how things have worked since the first 6503 Apple II's and 8086 IBM PC's.
I've been using and upgrading PC's since THOSE DINOSAURS! And I can't remember EVER having an OS upgrade go as smoothly as my recent upgrade from Mountain Lion Server (OS X 10.8.5 w. Server 2.2.2) to Mavericks Server 3.0.
I chose to do a clean Mavericks install on a clean partition created on a 1 TB disk that was upgraded into my trusty MacBook. I used the DiskmakerX app to create a Mavericks installation USB drive. When the screen came up with the option to import users, programs & files (took a pass on email) from the Mountain Lion Server partition, I let it run overnight to transpose everything of value into the clean Mavericks installation.
The next morning the only program that wasn't PERFECTLY installed and configured on Mavericks was Server 2.2.2. I deleted it and bought/installed Server 3.0. After Server 3.0's setup ran that only thing I had to do manually was start Postgres! My domain setting, DNS, all my web applications that were set up on Mountain Lion Server were all GOOD TO GO again on Mavericks Server!
I'm disclosing this here, publicly because it was a BIG PAIN to install and deploy all my websites using Mountain Lion's server app. To say the easy transposition into Server 3.0 was an unexpected and pleasant surprise amounts to massive understatement.
Now I'm going to describe two small anomolies I've noticed in either Mavericks or Server 3.0 that other users might want to be on the lookout for. They're not fatal. But they might be "habringers" suggesting underlying problems in either the new OS or the new Server's internals.
The toolbar icon for TimeMachine doesn't "spin" when it backs up. It's not a big deal. But it's convenient to see the circle around the clock whirling so we know when TIme Machine is backing up.
Mavericks Server isn't reporting newly upgraded apps as available under the Updates Tab of the Server's Software Updates subsystem. It might be inconsequential. But with a new OS version it never hurts to let the developers know about the "little things" that don't apparently work.
Kudos to the Maverick's developers for releasing an OS X version that's THIS CLEAN. And hugs to Apple's management for making it a free download upgrade for developers!!!
Full disclosue: I don't now and never have worked for Apple. but I do own a few shares of Apple stock that we purchased many years ago at $14.00 / share. I'm not a big shareholder. But based on my recent seamless upgrades to Mavericks and iIOS 7, I'm a happy one who's not likely to sell any time soon.
If Apple can do for ALL THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PRODUCTS what they seem to have done for OS X and iOS, they've got at least a fighting chance to recover from their losses after their stock peaked at about $700.00 /share.
Keep up the good work!

Surprise! Mountain Lion only available as a download? Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008

Just purchased Mountain Lion to upgrade one of my Mac Pro's 3,1 Early 2008 hoping to get the CD but it seems like it's only available as a download. Is that accurate? Did I miss a link to get the actual physical item? If the download version happens to be the only one available, how should I work around this, given that I would like to upgrade my 2 Mac Pro's and probably my work MacBook Pro? Help please...

I have made backup installers of Lion through Mavericks on flash drives using Lion DiskMaker, which BTW is now called DiskMakerX. It works really well. Before creating the flash drive installer, don't immediately run the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" application, which you will find in your Applications folder: save a copy of it to another location. After ML is installed, the install application gets sent to the cornfield (thanks, Apple), so you will need a backup copy of it.
For Yosemite, I followed these instructions to make a flash drive installer: http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x-yosemite-boot-install-drive/. I'm not sure if DiskMakerX works with Yosemite. Anyone else know?

Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

Hi everyone!
I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.
Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.
I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.
Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.
I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.
When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.
So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.
Please help!!
Mike

I was afraid the Apple Store wasn't going to be an option.
Based on your previous post, I was under the impression you could download Mountain Lion, but when you installed it, it locked up again. Not true?
I don't know how to remove it. You can try contacting Apple support through the link below to see if they can help you get this unlocked.

Are the kernal panics new since all this happened?
Here is some information about kernal panics.
Kernel Panics - About
Kernel Panics - Avoiding and Eliminating
Kernel Panics FAQ
Kernel Panics FAQ (2)
Kernel Panics - Understanding and Debugging
The articles discuss where kernal panic reports are filed. After you have a kernal panic, copy the report and post it here. Please copy and paste rather than using a screen shot. There are several people who can read them and they can suggest what to do next. Reading kernal panic reports isn't something I've totally figured out yet.

With Lion I had four home screens and with mountain Lion only one

With Lion I had four home screens but with Mountain Lion I got only one ?

What's a "Home screen?"
If you mean Desktops, enter mission control and hover your mouse over the side of the display, in the row with the desktops. A + tab should appear. Click on it to add Desktops.

Lost mailboxes in transition to mountain lion

can anyone help me recover lost mailboxes after mt lion upgrade?

Lion ate ALL my Mail: Apple Support Communities

HT4437 What apple TV functionality is lost if I'm only running Snow Leopard and no Mountain Lion?

I can't quite figure out if I'll lose any streaming or wireless capabilities if I'm not yet on Mountain Lion? What still works if I'm only on Snow Leopard?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work. I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

How can I get back iPhoto after upgrading to mountain lion

I've upgraded to mountain lion and lost iphoto. Do I need to re buy it?

Actually, I have the same problem. After a clean install of Mountain Lion only Garage Band and iMovie appear in my purchased list.
If I look for iPhoto, it appears as a regular application that I have to buy... again? Wasn't it included with iLife when I bought my computer?

How do I downgrade mountain lion back to my mac mini 2011 lion server

Hi,
Previously, my mac mini mid 2011 was installed with mac os lion server then I have purchase and upgrade to mountain lion via iTunes.
Somehow I decided to downgrade back to lion server due to use of my mac as server, unfortunately I have no idea how to downgrade with the following reasons:
1. I don't create any time machine backup before so can't use that option.
2. I have enable vault function so now the startup has hide the recovery HD icon
3. In the Recovery mode (command + R), I only see an option to download and reinstall a fresh Mountain Lion only.
4. I can't download and install Lion server from iTunes because this os was bundle with purchase of mac mini 2011 mid version.
Any comments and helps here are appreciated. Thanks.

Well, did you save a Carbon Copy Clone (http://www.bombich.com) of the Lion installation by chance? That would be the easiest to go back to and use / update. Outside of that, or having saved the original Lion installer, I know of no way to get the OS that you are after. For future referece, on a mac mini with two harddrives, I have always made a backup partition on the second drive using CCC, and schedule clone updates to that. You can't rely on TM, inmo, so something like CCC or SuperDuper is essential. Cheers,

HP Scan utility no longer works with Mountain Lion

Updated from 10.6.8 to 10.8. HP Scan software utility no longer boots, yielding an error message warning of incompatibility. I run Software Update over and over again, but HP Scan still did not boot.
I ran HP Uninstaller, but it did not remove the HP folder within Applications. So I deleted HP Scan and other utilities manually.
I ran Software Update again, and it re-downloaded and re-installed HP Printer Software Update 2.11. However, it did not install the HP Scan utility. Now I can only scan using the Printer/Fax System Preference or Image Capture, whereas the HP Scan utilility had much more functionality.
Apparently HP Scan is only part of HP's Full Software Install. However, Mountain Lion ONLY allows the use of Software Update for printers, and there is nowhere on the HP website to download the HP Scan utility or Full Software for Mountain Lion -- they only instruct one to use Apple's Software Update which doesn't provide any HP utilities.
Where can I find the HP Scan utility (for PSC 1610) that is compatible with 10.8? It certainly is not available from HP -- see:

Thanks.

Please be so kind to help me. HP wanted 30 USD to help me. Why should I pay 30 USD to HP when their new integrated software update does not work?
Had my HP Photosmart Premium C410b for a bit over a year. Worked like a charm in 10.6 and 10.7. I am a frequent user of the HP scan software. I am fully aware that I can use the system pref - > print&scan -> open scanner, BUT that is like going back in time to windows 3.1 days. Try scanning 20 pdf's a day, especially when 2 or more pages in one pdf, add to the equation that My Acrobat X is no longer accepting the scanner either, I can print, but I can't scan, and then I guess we'll agree that the integrated apple scan solution is nothing sort of a emergency solution. I need my HP software!
I downloaded the Lion software file
HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.14.dmg [1/1, 194.96M]
But to no use. Only get the message that it is for 10.7 or older.
HP claim that all I need to do is to go to Apple -> Software update and gte the software for my HP printer. I just get the message "No updates available". Can't find the software if I search for it.
I don't know how I found it but from apple's pages I found a 460MB file called HewlettPackardPrint2.12.dmg as one forum suggested it to another persons with same problems. When installing I think it said to take 1GB of space. I still don't know what I installed since I see no software anywhere and nothing changed. Maybe a bunch of drivers for all HP printers ever made? Don't have a clue...
All I want is just that HP scan software so I can go back to my normal workday but it seems so impossible. I really hope someone can help me. Anyone have anything to help me one step closer I sure would appreciate it. I need my HP scan software and Acrobat to work.
Second option is buying a new printer. That's just sad if it comes to that...

I upgraded to mountain lion. Now my virgin mobile broadband internet card will not work

I uninstalled the broadband software and then tried to reistall it but it will not work. I pluged in my usb card but it doesn't show that it is pluged in. I tried the card on my girlfriends computer and it works. I pluged a camera in my usb port and that works. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks

My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

HT1338 How can I upgrade to Lion? My iMac cannot support Mountain Lion but I do not see Lion in the app store anymore.

I want to upgrade my 2006imac with 3GB ram but mountain lion requires 4gb. Can I purchase mountain lion in the app store and it will install lion or will it just charge me $20 for an OS I can't use?

A 2006 iMac cannot run Mountain Lion at all. Mountain Lion only requires 2 GB of RAM, but your model has a video controller which doesn't support features required by Mountain Lion, so Mountain Lion does not support your model. The earliest iMac which can run Lion is the mid 2007 model (aluminium body). A full list of supported models is available here.
If you attempt to buy Mountain Lion in the App Store using your 2006 iMac, the sale will not proceed and you will get an error message saying you cannot purchase Mountain Lion because it is not compatible with your computer. You will not be charged.
If you are currently running Snow Leopard and want to upgrade to Lion, but didn't already purchase Lion (e.g. for use on another computer), it is apparently possible to place a special order for Lion via a telephone call to Apple Customer Support. (I say "apparently" because there have been reports that Apple told some people this was the correct solution, but early attempts to place an order were refused with Apple Support claiming they weren't selling Lion at all. I think this was a temporary situation and it should be resolved by now.) There are links to support telephone numbers here.
Apple will charge you the standard retail price for Lion (e.g. US$29.99 in the US) and supply you with a "redeem code" for the App Store. That is entered by going to the Featured category in the toolbar, and clicking Redeem under the Quick Links heading on the right side. Once your code is redeemed, Lion will be added to the list of purchases for your Apple ID, and you can download and install it.
If you had already bought Lion for use on another computer, you can re-download it from the Purchases list in App Store, but there might be a couple of catches:
1. Some people have found that Lion was added to their list of hidden purchases. You need to unhide it first. Do this by going to your Account page (under Quick Links, or "View My Account" under the Store menu in the menu bar). If you have hidden purchases, there will be a "View Hidden Purchases" link, and from there you can unhide Lion.
2. If you are running Lion and want to redownload the installer on that computer, you may need to hold down the Option key when clicking on the Purchases heading in the toolbar, to enable the download button for Lion.

Smartcard reader not working under Mountain Lion

I have an SCM SCR3500 smartcard reader. It was working under Lion, using the Mac OS Forge smartcard driver. After upgrading my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion, the reader is no longer recognized. To make matters worse (!!!), Mountain Lion only allows installations via the App Store. Is there a driver for 10.8 that can be used with this reader? Where? How?

Another piece of information; I checked my system logs and found this entry repeating once I tried to connect my external display:

16.09.12 18:26:46,009 System Preferences[14205]: CGSServiceForDisplayNumber: Invalid display 0x41dc9d00
I really do hope that 10.8.2 is going to adress this issue. Up to that point Mountain Lion has rendered my external display completely useless...
