Don't own Mountain Lion even though it comes with rMBP?
Hi!
It seems that I don't own Mountain Lion in the app store so I have two questions.
1. Should I own it? It does come with the machine after all
2. If I don't own it, how do I make a clean install of Mountain Lion?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.
Clck your Apple menu icon top left corner in your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
Mountain Lion is installed on your Mac if you see Version 10.8 (or 10.8.2)
If your Mac came with Mountain Lion installed, it won't show under Purchases in the App Store.
If you need to reinstall Mountain Lion or repair the startup disk, use Mountain Lion Recovery.

HT4463 i cannot download mountain lion even though my itunes account has charged me for it
i cannot download OS X mountain lion even though my itunes account has charged me for it, the download keeps dropping off and will not resume at point of drop off and starts all over again but will not complete, got to over three quarters thru the 4 plus GB download,
A trick another user stumbled on this morning was to create another user account on the Mac, a standard user account, and from that account use the AppleID, and password to login to the Mac App Store and then download ML with the redemption code...after a frustrating several hours of trying unsuccessfully that little trick worked.

Has anyone use camptune x with mountain lion even though says it does not support it yet
HAs anyone used camptune x with mountain lion even though it is not yet specific to moutain lion yet?
Tried it yesterday on my imac 21Jan 2013 running mountain lion 10.8.2, total disaster.
Backed up my boot camp image using winclone (great programme)
Purchased and ran camptune x and everything went fine.
Rebooted into windows 7 and recieved error messages find--set--root--ignore floppies--ignore cd/bootmgr
ERROR 15
Gave me a list of options on screen but none resolved the issue.
Booted back into winclone and used the backup image i had just created to reinstall on bootcamp.
Have emailed the company but have had no reply as yet

Does Mountain Lion (10.8.4) come with SharePoint plug-ins, or did I just install these?
I did a custom installation of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my MacBook Air running 10.8.4., but I changed my mind and decided to uninstall it.
I only installed Word, Excel, and Proofing Tools (English only).
I'm reading up on how to fully remove all the tidbits Microsoft sprinkled about, and I noticed a couple files on my system:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.webplugin
I didn't include SharePoint in the installation, so I'm not sure that's where these files came from. It's a new machine, so the only alternative is that they were included with OS X 10.8.4, in which case I'm inclined to leave them be.
Does anybody know more about these files, where they likely came from?AFAIK OS X 10.8.4 does not come with SharePoint plug-ins. Those are from Microsoft and are most likely added by SilverLight.
I am running OS X 10.10.1 and Office 14.4.6 and I do not have SilverLight installed... I do not have those two plug-ins you mention. Thus I don't believe Office for the Mac 2011 loaded them.
Hope that helps

i have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????
So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst. -
Hi I am on an iphone 5 IOS7 and when I look at the 'Silence' setting at the bottom of the Don Not Disturb' screen - then even though all of the settings on that screen are off i.e. not green - the 'Silence' -'Only when iPhone is locked' setting is tickedP
Chris thanks for your reply, if none of the Do Not Disturb settings are switched on - then am I right that this setting will have no effect. I.e. I want my phone to ring at all times, so have turned off all of the do not disturb settings

How to configure Mountain Lion Server to run Web2py with wsgi?
I am trying to config Mountain Lion Server to run Web2py with mod_wsgi. I get an error saying: "Premature end o scritp Header" wsgihandler.py (which is the wsgi file for Web2py).
I had it working fine in Snow Leopard and Lion Servers but not in Mountain Lion Server.
Thanks for your help.
Flavio.I don't run web2py framework so can't tell you specifically.
That error means your script is not writing an http header to the browser so the browser can't decode whatever string it is getting. Your script is running as a plain old Python script. This is most likely because the Server.app in 10.8 now includes mod_wsgi built-in and configured from the GUI.
You can insert an intercept anywhere in your code to check any variable by saying this:
########## PROGRAMMING HERE ###############
print("Content-type:text/plain\n\n")
print(someVariable)
# raise SystemExit
The above sends an "http header" so the browser knows what to do. These headers are invisible in the browser window. But depending on your Python version, the pring statement may not work (I am running Python3). The SystemExit statement is optional, just in case your script crashes downstream.
WSGI sends a header like this:
startResponse("200 OK", [("Content-Type", "text/plain")])
but it sounds like mod_wsgi is not even being invoked. Normally your WSGI script is named *.wsgi and your Apache is set up to run the Python script as CGI under the mod_wsgi handler using this directive:
AddHandler wsgi-script .wsgi
The file having the config is located at
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_wsgi.webapp.conf
where webapp is the name of your webapp. I would suggest copying the file called httpd_wsgi.conf and renaming it to your webapp name. When Server.app is configured properly, you enable wsgi webapps in the GUI Advanced wndow for your domain. -
Keep getting 'do I want to connect to BT unrestricted network' which I have never used before. I can get my ISP details input but get message 'incorrect password' even though it works with 3 other devices. My network provider, Virgin Media, sent an engineer but he couldn't solve the problem - said network was all ok so problem must be with my iMac (OSX 10.4.11). When I try to use internet I get BTWiFi is current wireless network - I've never used this! I've tried to change this and virgin media details are accepted, it's just the password stage that prevents me from connecting. I am not very knowledgeable with computers so I really need a step by step guide to solve this problem. PLEASE HELP!!!
Excuse me barging in on the thread, but I have a lot of experience with Telus, and roaming with my BlackBerry (currently a Z10). In short, you've been fed some outdated info by the Telus rep. Telus has become very Android-centric, and it seems like a good number of Telus CSR's are still reading from a Legacy BlackBerry trouble-shooting guide.
My Z10 is unlocked, and I periodically use an AT&T sim when traveling in the US. I have never had to change an email setting to get full email function -- including the SMTP settings. To put it simply, your device first connects to a network using credentials provided. At most hotels, for instance, your device will scan for and pick up a WiFi network. The hotel will tell you the WiFi network name and give you a password to use. You simply enter the password when prompted, then you may have to agree to certain conditions. That's it.
Your email settings are just that. Using whichever network to which you are connected, the user name and password give you access. The settings coincide with the email provider's server settings. These don't typically change with the location from which you are connecting.
I'd suggest you take a look at this very helpful email settings tool provided by BlackBerry, if you are having difficulty: http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/03/email-account-validation-tool/
It helps you determine the possible settings for connecting to your email provider. Different providers offer different connection options, sometimes more than one. Opinions vary, but my preference in descending order is: ActiveSync, IMAP, then POP if required. ActiveSync (aka EAS) and IMAP will offer 2-way sync.
Take a look at the tool and pop a message back here if you have any questions. Good luck. ~ecm -

Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?
Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?
It depends. If you purchase an OS upgrade it can be installed on up to 5 devices that are registered with your ID. However if you purchase a computer with that OS you cannot install it on other computers you own. The OS that comes with your computer is tied to the computer and not your ID.

Since installing Mountain Lion i have a problem with Mail. I delete a number of messages from the same person but keep the newest message in my Inbox. I actually delete them from the Trash. The next time i open Mail the deleted messages are back again. Can anybody please help as this is getting annoying. Thanks in Anticipation.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply. -
I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.
Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed. -
