Frozen apps in Mountain Lion!

I just upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion and my built in apps get frozen once the open, this happens with notes, appstore, address book... does any one have any suggestions??? I re-installed ML and solved nothing!!

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion:  is there a away to sort reminders by due date in the same fashion you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

    Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion:  is there a way to sort reminders in due date order in the same fashion as you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

    So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
    With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
    Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
    "Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

  • How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

    I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
    Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
    In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
    I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
    1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
    1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost.

    In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Welcome to the support forums.
    Please ask this question in the Mac App Store forum where they can better assist you.

    Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

    I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?
    I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

    Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)

  • Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

    Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar.  I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do.  (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.)  Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail.  I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away.  After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app!  Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
    I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android.  I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution?  It's so annoying!!
    (I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone.  Hmmmm.)

    Good day all,
    I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
    You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
    Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
    /Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
    Export stickies created by Stickies.app
    Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
    In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
    Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
    After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually...  I have decided to use NV from now on.
    The instructions above is from the following page:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/59525/export-all-stickies-at-once-on-os -x-10-8

  • Scanning with the preview app in mountain lion

    My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite.  They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

    How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
    WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

  • My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes

    My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes a few second to a few minutes after launching. I have already re-installed the OS but it didn't help.  Any thoughts?
    I have one exchange account that I have removed and reinstalled.  I've tried to see if it's conflicting with any of my other apps, I can't find anything there either.  Never had this problem before, but would like use of this app.  Thanks.
    Mark

    More info.  It seems to freeze when switching between mail and other apps.  It then becomes impossible to switch back to the mail app, though mail will be indicated in the app name just to the right of the apple menu

    I clicked buy app ,buying mountain lion and it never downloaded .

    I have the same problem. I am running OS 10.6.8 so am ready to download mountain lion; however, the download only sits on my dock stating: "Waiting". Unfortunately for me, the waiting never ends with no new OS on my IMac. I am hoping that someone will see this message and suggest an approach to downloading this new OS.

  • Mail.app with mountain lion

    I already checked and it is like that.

  • ITunes 10.7 crashes all apps on Mountain Lion including Force Quit. First system wide prob with an apple computer since OSX introduced. Any ideas?

    updated to iTunes 10.7  from app Store last night. After the update, iTunes opens then stalls with the "spinning pizza wheel". Force Quit is unresponsive and will not shut it down. If I then open other applications say Safari for example, the problem migrates over to Safari and it similarly stalls and becomes unresponsive. The only way to solve the problem is to manually shut the computer down. This is the most significant problem I have experienced on an apple computer since OSX was introduced because it impacts on Force Quit which means that you have to shut the whole deal down. There are obvious problems for use of Apple TV and apple store etc. ! I am running mountain lion 10.8.1 on a 27" iMac with 2T Time Capsule connected wirelessly. How do I downgrade iTunes back to 10.6? I had no problems with Mountain Lion or iTunes up to that point.

    this is the exact same problem i've been dealing with for the past 2 days. after i installed itunes 10.7 for my iphone5 it would crash my mbp's lion system wide. i tried every solution i could find on google and i've actually had to reinstall lion & time machine my backups because of it. right now i'm too scared to redownload itunes 10.7. i actually feel like waiting for the "new itunes" that comes out in october.

  • Corrupted Time Machine app on Mountain Lion 10.8.4

    I seem to have a corrupted Time Machine app on my Macbook Pro, running 10.8.4
    The problem first started when I used a guide to modify the backup intervals - editing a text file to change the amount of seconds in between the automatic backups (changing it to every 24 hours rather than one hour).
    That worked fine for a couple months, but then I started getting an error saying that the backup was too large for the destionation disk. I spent ages trying to resolve this, formatted my external hard drive again, and tried to start a new backup. However I still kept getting the error that the Time Machine backup was too large. I double checked that I had excluded the right files, and that it was actually able to fit on the external HDD.
    After giving up trying to fix the problem with TM, I deleted the app, and went into the system files and deleted all (I think) of the files relating to TM. I then opened the Mountain Lion installer package with Pacifist, and extracted all the TM files into their default location.
    Now the problem is that TM (in the preferecnes pane) will freeze when I try to change the options, and it won't let me check "Show Time Machine in menu bar". It also still tells me that the backup is too large when it automatically tries to backup.
    Is there any way to completely reinstall just TM without having to reinsall all the system files on the OS?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    No, and you need to make sure that you completely removed the third-party hack you installed, by following the developer's instructions.
