Dovecot startup problems on Mountain Lion

I'm not sure if anyone else has/had these same problems but here's what I've run into:
a. the /var/run/dovecot directory didn't exist and dovecot's config was expecting it to exist,
b. SSL certs were strangely commented out in /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf file.
I've never edited these files manually so something in Mountain Lion isn't working 100%.

When I enter "doveconf" in terminal the last line is "doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set"

  • I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

    I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
    at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
    Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
    I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • How to mute/delete startup sound in Mountain Lion?

    Is there a way to shut off/mute the startup sound in Mountain Lion without simply turning down all sounds?  For years I have used a third party pref pane called startup sound, but it has not been updated for OS 10.8.  Thanks.

    1. Login as administrator and open Terminal
    2. Create scriptfile for muting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-on.sh
    3. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'
    4. Create scriptfile for unmuting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-off.sh
    5. Enter this as content, when done press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume without output muted'
    6. Make both files executable:
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-off.sh
    7. Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
    8. Add hooks for muting
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /path/to/mute-off.sh

  • Possible problem downloading Mountain Lion

    It appears that a few people have had problems downloading Mountain Lion. Search for title
    mountain lion not downloading
    Since Apple does not provide a DVD disk or any other media for installing the operating system, I am wondering if there is some sort of Checksum that comes with the downloaded file like a PGP signature or MD5 hash? Because if pepople are having problems downloading the Mountain Lion OS that means there is a possibility of corruption of the software after downloading.
    How can you confirm the software is completely intact and valid?

    One of a few exaples show is a Apple Discussion post called
    Mountain Lion Download Lost
    There are others and I would have to wonder with the time it would take to download the Operating system (and in some cases cost) why is there no physical media?

  • Some serious problems with Mountain Lion

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my mid 2010 15" MBP to Mountain Lion 2 days ago, and I have some serious problems with my machine now.
    - Wifi problem: like many members 's machines, mine has problem to connect to the wifi after sleep or restarting, I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to connected to my home network. Anh I tried to remove all of my settings in System Preferences/Network and added new connection. And now it cant connect to wifi anymore. I'm writing this article while sitting on the floor with my Ethernet cable plugged in my MBP. I connected to internet through a DSL modem and a Airport Extreme as a bridge and Access Point. I also tried to set up all of my network device but my MBP can't connect to the wifi still.
    - Keyboard problem with Pages: I was very happy with the new iCloud syncing for Pages documents but after 5 minutes, I met a big problem with Mountain Lion. Whenever I type in Pages with Vietnames Keyboard( Mac OS X built in or from another developer: http://www.trankynam.com/gotv/ ), Pages stops working immediately. I can still drag the Pages's window around but can't type or do any editing. After that I have to force quit pages. It is really stupid that I'm writing a book in Pages and now I have to stop my working till apple fixes this ridiculous bug. I tried German Keyboard as well and Pages worked flawlessly. Do you hate Vietnamese, Apple?
    - Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couln't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
    Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
    Apple, please test your software more before release it. I feel like I have no computer at the moment because I can't work, can't surfing the web wirelessly and can't communicate with my friends.

    HI,
    - Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couldn't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
    Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
    What Messages to what type of Buddies or Contacts ?
    This
    I found out that the problem with my wifi was my MBP received automatically a ridiculous IP such as 169.254.170.0 instead of 192.168.1.4 as it should be.
    WIll be part of the Issue as will be DNS issues.
    mDNSresponder crashed with Handsoff! v1.5.3. After upgrading Handsoff! to v2.0.2, it works again.
    In this case mDNSresponder also being stopped will stop DNS working.
    I would guess if you have resolved these that you can Chat to people again.

  • When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.

    When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.  This problem occurs if I use my MacBook Pro or my iPad.  I want try  to win a 5000 gift card and can't win if I can't submit the survey.  It lets me fill out everything and only after I hit submit I receive an error.  Target says it's not their problem.  I curious to know if anyone else has tried and receive back an error after hitting the submit button.

    Thanks.....I'll try that the next time I get a new receipt from target.  My old receipts are older than 72 hours now so I can't try Firefox with them.  I appreciate the response and will certainly try this and post a reply if I was successful in submitting the target survey.

  • OpenCL Problem in Mountain Lion

    Hello, I'm a user from Hong Kong and I've a huge problem about Photoshop.
    I've a 15" MacBook Pro (Graphic Card is 6490M) and installed Mountain Lion and Photoshop CS6. When I Check my System Info in Photoshop, it show the OpenCL is unavailable just like this:
    Then I open the Performance tab in Preferences, and see that I cannot enable OpenCL and the GPU Acceleration like this:
    Howcome? Is the problem of Mountain Lion or Photoshop? How can I slove the problem???
    Thx for your help and sorry that my english is not good enough

    Either your GPU isn't up to it, or the driver isn't up to it.
    Mobile parts are usually more limited, and Apple's 10.8 drivers aren't exactly the best either.

  • Contact serius problem in Mountain Lion

    Dear frends,

    I get no audio from my firewire audio interface (Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP) upon installing Mountain Lion on my iMac (Summer 2009) today. As FiddleMonster said, so far, no firewire audio is coming out. Tried to restart, plug cable off and then on again... Not working.

  • Is Samba a problem in Mountain Lion at the mo

    Hi
    A few weeks ago I put a question about Samba ......I didn't have a response that could help or solve my problem ( as is life sometimes! ).
    It would seem from what I am reading on the net that there are many problems with Samba in Mountain Lion.
    I can't browse to my Mountain Lion macs from my Windows 7 pc and it's proving a bit of a nightmare....it means I can't back the macs up from my pc ( or from any pc) as I can't browse to their drives. I'm having to go up to the macs and manually back them up everyweek which isn't so elegant.
    Are other people able to browse to their macs in Mountian Lion from their pcs?s
    I can browse from mac to mac using Samba......but I don't know where to look or what to try next.
    Thanks for your advice.

    I have the same problem on Mountain Lion with my brand new Retina MacBook Pro. Not even a single left click with the trackpad works.

    Hi,
    the NFSv4 domain name is not necessarily related to the host name or the host's fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). It can be the same like the domain name, but it does not have to.
    To find the corrent NFSv4 domain name, you have to look it up in the NFSv4 server's configuration files.
    Kind regards,
    Steffen

  • Wlan problem unter mountain lion

    Hallo habe mich spät zum Upgrade auf mountain lion entschieden.
    Seitdem bricht die Verbindung zum Wlan (router entweder Telekom oder Time Capsule) ständig ab.
    IPad und IPhone haben diese Probleme nicht.
    Das ist sehr ärgerlich. In Verschiedenen Foren wird das Problem scheinbar schon länger diskutiert.
    Gibt es eine finale Lösung????

  • I am having major problems installing Mountain Lion.  After downloading successfully and attempting to install the process froze after restarting - ended up hanging on the OSX Recovery screen. Wouldn't restart properly without me selecting a startup disc.

    Three times I went through this same process for the same outcome. I have redownloaded Mountian Lion three times. I removed the Lion install package from the Applications folder in case this was causing a problem. Deleted and remounted the Mountain Lion package each time. Finally got the package to run through the install, restart and begin the file install - at the end it failed and I was left with a blank startup disc and no data. I have backed up. Through the OSX Recovery screen I selected a Lion reinstall - checked my credential against the app store -fine. But then failed on the reinstall.  Now doing a recovery from current backup but wondering the **** is going on. Wasted over 24 hours of processor time.

  • Problems with Mountain Lion – Dock has gone and also clicking trackpad no longer works.

    Hi,
    I’m not sure how best to explain the problem I am having but here goes anyway…I have a Macbook pro (mid 2009 model) and recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  Everything seemed to be working ok and I was enjoying trying to work out all the new features. However yesterday when I switched the Macbook on, once it had started some strange things were happening. Firstly my dock at the bottom had disappeared. Normally this is at the bottom of the screen however this no longer the case. I used the keyboard shortcut to show the dock however when I do this, the dock appears but none of the icons increase in size when I hover over them (as used to happen).
    The other thing that is happening is that I cannot click on anything to open or select an option. For example, I can’t click on anything on the dock (when I can get the dock to show) to open an application, I cannot select from drop down lists etc (ie select file then software updates). Even when I switch off my Macbook I can only hit return for the shutdown mode, and cannot select one of the other options, for example restart.  I tried to re-install Mountain Lion by holding down command and R (I think  - I read this on another forum and followed the instructions) however when the Macbook restarted and the various options came up, one of which is to re-install the software, I couldn’t select anything to do this due to this track pad problem I have explained (probably badly!) above.
    I should point out that everything was fine for a few days after upgrading to Mountain Lion and then the above problems started.
    Can anyone help?  I’m pretty stressed with the whole thing as I can’t use my Macbook now and am worried it’s permanently broken!!
    Or am I better just taking it along to the genius bar at my local Apple store?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not the same symptoms, but I noticed that after a few days of running great, odd things started happening on my iMac. The first thing was that when I would boot the Mac up for the first time in the morning, it would boot into single user mode. I have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, so I know there's no way keys are being held down.
    The other symptom was that Microsoft Outlook 2011 would hang on launch. It would get stuck on the "Setting Up Identities..." phase. Rebuilding the Outlook database would help until the next time I shut the iMac down.
    Also a couple of times it got to the Desktop after a boot, but not everything was working correctly and some startup items didn't load.
    The iMac also kept booting into single user mode on the first boot.
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, and I thought that fixed both problems, until the next morning. Now I just don't shut the Mac down. I can close Outlook, and it launches in a couple of seconds.
    So it would appear that something is becoming corrupt when OS X is shut down. If I don't shut it down, it's fine.
