Downloaded new Mountain Lion/ Mac is SLOW now

Downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion and it has seemed to cause my Mac to slow down considerably. It takes forever just to open and close things such as iPhoto or iTunes. What can I do to fix? I have checked for updates in the event there are bugs with the the new OS but nothing is available??
HELP..!!!!!!!

Macjack..
Tried to log in as a guest and same problem. Painfully slow with all aspects of use.
I have noticed it seems to come and go at times which is the frustrating part.
Here is some of the info you requested.. Not sure this is exactly what you wanted? I see the memory on there but cant find space being used?? If you can direct me to it I will provide. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Can't see boxing this big boy up and having to take it in because we upgraded to new software??

You are confusing Free Disc Space with RAM.

I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do?

I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

I have an iMac Intel 2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded. Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed. Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

HT2020 Can I download iChat when I have the new mountain lion update?

I downloaded the new mountain lion, but I cannot figure out how to download iChat. Is it possible to download iChat?

Hi,
Most of the Major IM services (AIM, Jabber, MSN/Live and Yahoo) do not allow cross over.
i.e. you need and AIM account (Screen Name) to chat to other AIM Screen Names or a Jabber ID to talk to jabber Buddies and so on.
Apps such as AduimX and ProteusX have long had the ability at least for text chats to have all your Messaging Accounts in one app.
iChat was originally AIM only (well, in addition to Bonjour - then called Rendezvous)
In iChat 3 Jabber was added (a bit of work was needed to get GoogleTalk to work)
iChat 4 added a separate option to Add Google accounts as well as Jabber.
iChat 6 adds the Yahoo option.
At Messages 7 (numbers continue but the name changes) adds iMessages to the other four methods/Accounts.
Messages is an App that can allow you to access 4 external Services and one LAN Based one.
Much like Mail can access many external Email accounts.
Whereas emails are fairly standard that web based and App based version can read/display emails created in a multitude of apps the Messeging sdie of thinsg has never got that far.
Adium and Proteus have used Backward engineering in a lot of what they do to be able to join as many type of service as they do.
iMessages can be sent to iPhone Numbers (that have been registered (enabled on the iPhones) for iMessages) or to Apple IDs that may be in use on Macs running Messages or iPhones and other iOS devices that may be using Apple IDs or iPhone Numbers (as you can link them).
Bonjour can be sent to other Macs on your LAN that have iChat or Messages with the Bonjour account Enabled.
It takes your name from your Address Card and broadcasts this as your Buddy Name in their Buddy lists.
(you see their Address Book Name).
AIM does have it's own registration site.
However Apple originally made an Agreement with AIM when iChat started out and any Apple Issued ID is still valid (there are exceptions)
Any @mac.com whether Paid For Trial or a Lapsed account counts.
Any iCloud Issued @me.com and @icloud.com IDs work if you keep the Password to the 16 character AIM server limit.
Any MobileMe issued @me.com that has lapsed will not work.
These newer iCloud linked IDs can not be used in iChat 5 or earlier due to the way the later apps login and Check the password (you login to Apple AND AIM to confirm access to the password).
Jabber is a lose collection of separate severs that can be what is called Federated.
This allow Buddies from Other servers to be added to your list and fro your to be able to Contact them.
Google (with a Google Mail ID and Talk enabled in your Account settings) is a Jabber server
Facebook (Enable Chat and use the new Chat ID) is also a Jabber server.
This is the most extensive server list I know of.
It also highlight which sort of Transports a server may be using.
Transports offer a way of linking to other services within a Jabber account (Instructions)
Yahoo is text only within Messages and iChat 6
Whilst Yahoo themselves made an agreement with MSN that MSN/Live IDs could be used over the Yahoo network you cannot use one in The Yahoo option in Messages/iChat 6. It has to be a Yahoo registered ID.
Video
AIM and Jabber accounts can Video to other Macs running Messages or iChat (ver 3 and above for Jabber)
If you have enough Internet speed for Video then you can Audio Chat and Screen Share with these Accounts
Bonjour will also Audio Only or Video chat to those LAN based macs
Yahoo does not do Video.
iMessages will invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during a conversation.
It is fair to say that Google, Facebook and AIM all offer ways to now add Buddies from the Other Services.
It is best if you use the web based method to do this but they should appear in the Buddy lists.
If all your people were using iChat before you do not need to enable the iMessages account in Messages.
You can make do with the AIM (valid) Screen Name or Jabber ID that you were using before.
My Messages > Preferences > Account looks like this (Mavericks)
I have set an AIM account to a non identifiable pane.
The Window Menu list looks like this (see the General section on Unlinking them)
I used the Jabber.me server as it offered Transports that could then be used by other Jabber servers.
This meant I could add Buddies from MSN linked this way to my Google Buddy list.
I display the Buddy Lists all the time like in iChat and my Desktop looks like this
I hope this helps

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

New mountain lion update causing macbook to run very slow?

New mountain lion update causing macbook to run very slow?

Select Apple menu > About This Mac from the menu bar. How much memory is installed?

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. I checked system S.P. - Natural for scroll feature.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine. Has anyone experienced this problem?

I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

I have redeemed my code and downloaded the Mountain Lion overnight. Now I am unable to find the download and unable to install it. And the code says that its already redeemed. What can I do? Please help.

I have redeemed my code to download the Mountain Lion. I left it for download overnight. Now I am unable to find the download and its not installed. And the code says that its already redeemed so I cannot download the Mountain Lion again. Please help.
