Does the old "BackUp Umbrella" work  with Mountain Lion

Coming into Mountain Lion, have old files from hard drive from iMac circa last of the Power PC. Tried to use the Backup 3, Version 3.2 (v417), and it does not work, thats ok.  I liked this format, as I can select file(s) specific, and how often for backup.  Is there something like this with OS 10.8.4, brand new iMac and wanted to set up the Time Machine. 

Yes.  Of course, it can no longer back up to your iDisk, since Mobile Me is closed.
But it can back up to an external HD as before.
If you really want to use it instead of Time Machine, you've never had a large problem.  Restoring from Backup is tedious and error-prone.  It's a very old app with major limitations.  Still usable, but so are buggy whips. 
Time Machine is fully automatic -- the ultimate in set it and let it do it's thing.  And if something awful happens, you can put your Mac back exactly the way it was in one fairly simple operation.  Not hours or days of trying to recover a few pieces from Backup.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion?

    Does Onyx work with Mountain Lion?  Also, if a program asks you to start up from disk, and you have Mountain Lion which was downloaded, then wouldn't that old disk replace the newer software? 

    Before using Onyx, or any such utility, you should backup your data:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    note the 'b' in the version number of programs indicate it is a beta.   What I like to call a buggy everyday test application, or simply putting it, you are a guinea pig for the software developer.  Once you are sufficiently backed up, for what reason do you desire to use Onyx?  Mac OS X does its own "maintenance", and really Onyx should only be used to troubleshoot a backed up system.

  • HT1284 Does time machine work with Mountain Lion?

    I had time machine set-up on my old iMac and had everything copied over to my new iMac.  Time machine isn't working.  I can't get it to recongize my external hard drive to back it up.  Does time machine not work with mountain lion?

    Have you plugged the external drive to a different USB port?  Also, I would suggest you reset the PRAM.  If you still have the issue after you have done all this, it may be an issue with your external drive.  Try testing it on another computer.

  • Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

    I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

    this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
    As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
    BTW I am current on the latgest version.
    Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
    If you get this message:

  • HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

    I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
    I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
    I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
    When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
    It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion. 

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with mountain lion?

    Was wondering if Microsoft Office 2011 works with Mountain Lion since the 1997 version does not.

    Okay, I will try that.  It looks like I have installed it twice already.  An obvious novice. I will do it again though.

  • Does Fast Track work with Mountain Lion (10.8) ?

    As title, does the Fast Track USB Audio Interface from Avid works with Mountain Lion?
    Drivers for 10.8 are not still avalaible, but maybe it's working for someone with 10.7 drivers.

    Hi rcraighead,
    I was curious, did you do a update migration or an actual clean install of both the OSX and Illustrator?
    I was also curious, have you seen any issues with 3rd party plugins running under 10.8 in Illustrator? For example I am curious about Scriptographer, etc., ?
    Thanks for any feedback.

  • Does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion

    does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion?

    No, I didn't find your post helpful.
    I'm well aware that FileMaker does not indicate compatibility between FileMaker Pro 9 and Mountain Lion. However, in my experience, "compatibility" is a somewhat ambiguous term -- lack of compatibility doesn't mean that FM Pro 9 won't run under ML. There may indeed be some feature in FM Pro 9 that won't work properly -- but that doesn't mean that the app as a whole is, for example, unusable.
    As another example, I believe that Roxio lists that Toast Titanium 9 won't run under Mountain Lion, either, but it seems to run just fine for me ;-)
    Hence my question: has anyone tried?

  • Does cs3 work with mountain lion?

    Does CS3 work with Mountain Lion? or even Mavericks? Help!

    Officially, Adobe supports CS5.5, CS6 and CC in Mountain Lion. I think only CS6 and CC in Mavericks. But many users here report being able to use any of the CS3 or later versions up to Mountain Lion without noticeable issues. Not enough reports yet by Mavericks users to say how well older versions work.

  • Can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion? The MFP can be either 3-in-1  or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

    can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion?
    The MFP can be either 3-in-1  or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapte

    Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and the new MacBook Pro?
    Apple Store says it is for the 30" only.
    Thanks ... Ken

    I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.
