Do I need to reinstall iLife for os upgrade
I'm thinking about moving my Mini Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard so I can use iCloud
Will I need to reinstall iLife following the upgrade.The short answer is.. No.
However, keep near by those SYSTEM and APPLICATIONS DVDs that came with your computer, just in case anything goes wrong.
... FYI... make sure to check SOFTWARE UPDATE after the install, for any updates to your iLife applications that will make them more compatible with Lion. -
Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked
Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced -
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to retain my OS X Lion Install Thumbdrive?
I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I prefer to have a backup of my Install Application so I made a Bootable Tumbdrive of the Application (using Lion Diskmaker). I ran the Application as an uprade to the Lion installation on my computer (which was a clean install using the thumbdrive version of the Installer).
Planning ahead, if I need/want to do a complete re-install of Mountain Lion, do I need (with my current set of tools/packages) to retain the Lion Installer, run that first and then do an upgrade to Mountain Lion or is the application that I downloaded sufficient on its own.
Short version: does the Mountain Lion installer operate as a complete fresh install if you run it off a thumbdrive?
On a side note, does the Lion Installer Thumbdrive come complete with iLife applications (I understand they're not bundled in the Mountain Lion Installer)?
Thanks!Yes if you create a ML install thumb drive you can install ML clean without any previous version of OS X installed on the system.
No neither Lion or Mountain Lion come with the iLife Apps. They are completely separate from the OS. To my knowledge there is no way to download and save them from the Mac App store. They are downloaded and installed as a Package from the MAS.
If your system came with Lion preinstalled then when you do a clean install of either you then have to go to the MAS, look in your Purchases area, and download/install those.
If by chance your Mac came with Snow Leopard Pre-Installed then there is also an Applications Reinstall DVD that came with your system. You would need to use that DVD to reinstall the iLife apps then update them with Software Update. -
NEED HELP!!! want to install mountain lion over lion
getting message saying "this disk doesnt use the GUID partition table scheme" and when I try to change it in disk utility, all the options are grey. How do I go about upgrading to mountain lion at this point?
You probably can install it thru a DVD. Do to it, start your Mountain Lion installer. You should see it on your Dock. Just make a Right Click, select Option and Show in Finder. After it, make another Right Click on the Package and select "Show Package". Brower to Content/SharedSupport. You should see the file "InstallESD.dmg" make a right click on this file and select Open with "DiskUtility". Inside this tool, you'll be able to burn it. You'll need to use a Double Layer DVD or a Blu-Ray disk. The size of the Package doesn't fit on a regular DVD.
I did that, and now, I can have a Virtual Machine inside Vmware Fusion of Mountain Lion. I just did my installation thru my DVD -DL and it works very well. -
If I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will my Windows based apps still work or will I need to reinstall them?
As I said, the Windows applications are running in the virtual machine, using the Windows system. It is not directed affected by upgrading Mac OS X to Mountain Lion. So you should not need to re-install anything that runs in the Windows virtual machine.
The real question is, does Parallel Desktop, which is the Mac OS X application, work properly under Mountain Lion? You should go to
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
and make sure you are using the latest version that has been updated to work with Mountain Lion. -
I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account. My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June. I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer. I don't want to have to buy two up grades! Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires? If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????
HI...
We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!! -
I've reset my PPAM before to get around Firmware lock, but I've upgraded to mountain lion and now need to do the same thing, but I can't reset the PRAM. I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do? Also, I can not get start up chimes unless I have the factory startup disk in. Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Do I need to buy snow leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion?
Make sure your machine meets the minimum system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although it says 2 GB RAM is the minimum, it's generally recommended to have at least 4 GB unless you only use your machine for "light" use (no movie editing/burning, etc). -
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? -
i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite
You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck

I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple. How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
