FCP7 Mountain Lion, and an IP address
Long story short as can be. 8 core Mac wouldnt connect to internet, kept giving false IP. Took it to MacMall, and after a billion tests, they determined all hardware was fine, and wipe the disk and restore using migration assistant. Did as stated, and got back on track, relicensing softwares etc. Tried to fire up FCP7 and recieved this error: Installation error Please insure this product has been installed properly. It gets stuck while loading the Amplitube plugin, which has always been buggy. I click OK, and FCP continues loading up finishes and disappears. It crashes in a way that is strange, no message, only closes. So i wiped it off the drive with a tool i found onnline and reinstalled from scratch. Same error, and the B is I can't locate the plugin folder where it is located. Its an audio filter. In 10.8.3. Looked in the Go menu(Hold option) Library/Application support/Final cut Pro, Library/Application support/Final cut Studio, as well as Library/Audio. I feel I may be experiencing multiple problems here. First i would like to erradicate the plugin IK Multimedia:Amplitube 2, but cant find it even with spotlight. Then obviously get FCP up and running. O also downloaded the Pro Application support after fresh install. Thanks

Ah...I see. You didn't mention the name, so I didn't think it was the same one.
The Plugins folder is in the main hard drive Library, not the USER Library. So HARD DRIVE>LIBRARY>APP SUPPORT>FCP SYSTEM SUPPORT>PLUGINS.
Or does 10.8 hide that LIBRARY too?

I don't know how to do this. I typed the question in the bar above, but apparently need to type it again here. I lost my entire address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have been unable to recover it. I know the information is in there as when I type in someone's name in an email the address always shows up right away. How can I find the information for my contacts and restore my address book? Do I need to go to the Apple Store that is 2 hours away and have an expert help me or can I find out how to do it online for free myself?
The auto-complete in Mail addresses comes from two sources: (1) The "Previous Recipients" list, which can be viewed via Mail > Window > Previous Recipients. (2) Your Address Book (now called "Contacts").
If you did in fact lose your Address Book - are you sure you don't have "Contacts" in your Applications Folder? - It sounds like you are getting addresses from source (1). If you did in fact lose your Address Book (now called "Contacts" !!), you will have to restore it from a backup.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.
I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps -
Will mountain lion and iOS 6 force me to use ICloud?
Reading the previews of mountain lion and ios 6, I get the impression that I'm going to be forced to use ICloud. Is this true? I don't want to be in the Cloud. And I don't want apps like Twitter mining information from or sharing information with, my Contacts. Should I upgrade? What happens if I don't? I have a macbook running lion and an IPhone 4 running Ios 5. Thanks.
I can just access Twitter through Safari to avoid that? (Before you tell me that Twitter isn't that private, I'm on there with a pseudoname).
Yes.
The integration of Twitter with Contacts is mostly about storing your contact Twitter and Facebook accounts much as you would store their phone numbers of email addresses.

Syncing contacts between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard?
One of my computers is running Mountain Lion, and the other is running Snow Leopard and so does not have access to iCloud. Is there any way to sync Contacts between the two computers?
I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/
No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way: copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info. But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
Apple really left us behind on this one. -
Mountain Lion and Lion very slow on Macbook 13' 2010 Middle
The problem is the Mountain Lion and Lion very very slow, but Snow Leopard was fast.
The Lion bit faster, the Mountain Lion is much slower.
Animations are choppy and slow, but sometimes fast, but mostly random stuttering. If i have multiple windows opened, the Misson Control is very slow and useless. I think the system UI framerate is low (about 10-15 FPS)
Overall, the system response is very slow, and lagging.
I tried to clean dinstall several times, but this didn't help me.
I know that the new system is slower on older machines, but it would not be so necessary. This Machine is good machine, and i think this is enought for Mountain Lion. Will Apple fix this slow issue soon (maybe 10.8.3), or stay in this state?
At current state of the system is unusable due to the slowness.
Or is it a non official solution to fix this?
Thanks for your answers.How much RAM do you have installed? 4 GB RAM is generally recommended as a reasonable minimum since kernel_task (part of system) consumes up to 1 GB; my browser consumes another 500 MB or so. So, if you like to multi-task and have several things open, then you will need to increase your RAM. This problem will not be fixed; I sent in a bug report and the reply was that this is how it is intended - 64 bit addressing consumes far more resources than 32 bit (Snow Leopard).
You'll need to look at your processes in Activity Monitor, quit some apps while working on others that are CPU intensive, and increase the RAM if possible. -
Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard
Hi
I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
How can I solve this problem?
FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/

I've upgraded to mountain lion and cannot receive email
Can anyone help?
I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot receive email in any account although I can send emails
ThanksI have exactly the same problem but with a worringly more complex situation. I too can see TC in finder. I can see the backup disk for my iMac in TM. I can also see the backup disk for my MBP in TM (this sits on a HD that is daisy chained to my 1TB TC).
Here's the worring bit. My MBP was upgraded to Moutain Lion but my iMac is still on Lion. Both have the same issue in that all disks can be seen as normal but not connect to make backups.
I receive the notificaiton that includes: "cannot connect...xxxtimecapsule.local. Verify server name or IP address. "
I have made a backup since the Mountain Lion upgrade with no issues then suddenly it cannot connect to repsective backup disks on either machine. I was attempting a restore of my MBP from my backup so I could have a cleaner disk to create a new partition for windows. When I choose the backup disk to restore from (in recovery mode) was when it failed to connect and its been downhill from there.
Router works fine and I am still connected to my dsl modem,
I have reset TC and all machines. I am now at a complete loss! -
I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP
Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office. -
Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.
Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X. -
I updated my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and now it is slow in starting up and loads a number of probrams. How can I fix the problem?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the slowness still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Reboot normally and test. -
I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.
You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?
It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I think I finished installing Mountain Lion, and am at the "log in" page with the Mountain Lion icon, but I cannot do any of the functions on screen. That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP. -
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't use any of my software!
What a disaster and huge mistake. Upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't run Autocad 2012 for Mac, any of my Adobe Creative suites software such as Photoshop, Illustrator.. and now I can't even do upgrades because Mountain Lion doesn't allow me to launch DMGs. I've lost thousands of $'s in software, not to mention time, but most importantly now I can't even work! I just tried to revert back to Snow Leopard by intalling it back in my hard drive and it won't let me. I never used Time Machine. Is there any way on earth I can revert back to my old operating software??? Please help. And if you haven't upgraded yet and are thinking about it. BEWARE - and don't do it. I've been reading that Mountain Lion isn't working with Microsoft applications either. Omy...I haven't even checked that.
and of course no one at Apple support can or will help melunaulu wrote:
It's not my Microsoft that I use much or am worried about. I can't run AutoCAD. and I can't update AutoCAD either. When I try to mount an update just to get it working, it says it can't run the DMG file. Apparantly this new platform doesn't use Rosetta - which is needed to run any of these updates or downloads. ***? and then When I try to open CS4 appliations - Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign - I get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30 - ***?
So basically I can't use ANY of the programs I ran before. And yes I have googled desperately all day. Adobe has some suggestions - like deleting a Flex files - which I did...Defragmenting - which I did. And most importantly provides am Adobe Licensing Repair tool to fix - which I can't open because Mountain Lion won't mount the DMG in order to run it! It's a complete disaster and I don't have the money or time to purchase and or reinstall everything. I am just screwed.
No you are not, calm down, cbs20 already gave you the answer on opening dmg files, updates are available for most of your programs and I assume you have licenses for the Adobe products. AutoCad you'll have to wait for.
And please .... Start Backing Things Up, you could lose it all without one, work included.
