HELP!!! "Restart" problem after installation of OS Mountain Lion
Dear Apple People,
I have upgraded my Macbook Pro 13 (bought last year) from Leopard to Mountain Lion. After some days my computer stopped to start normally and restarts every minute. Please see attached the photos. I have searched other topics and internet, tried to repair disks and other tools, but nothing helped...
I would (and of course other many people who faced this problem) aprreaciate if you could give us detailed instructions how to fix this problem. It is not fair that we have installed new software and even paid for it and now cannot use it...
I am looking forward for your prompt action!
Thank you.
I found it! - under Users/....
So now i will back up all these files.
What should I do then?
Follow the "step 3. If you have a backup, press Command and R keys in boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and install OS X" whic you have suggested earlier?
Do i need to have cd or flash drive to install OSX or is it enough to have internet connection?

Problem after downloading os x mountain lion
I HV MACBOOK PRO 2011 JULY 15 INCH .. RECENTLY IN AUG I UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE TO MOUNTAIN LION. AFTER INSTALLING 7-8 DAYS THERE WAS NO OTHER PROBLEM EXCEPT DELAY IN APPEARANCE OF APPLICATIONS AFTER START UP. WITHIN A WEEK I AM FACING A NO OF PROBLEMS LIKE SCREEN COLOUR APPEARS AS PINK OR YELLOW OR BLUE ... AND NO LOGO APPEARS........OR LOGO IN SQUARE BOX WITH A DOTS ALL OVER THE SCREEN ....HANG UP ......TEXT SHADOWS IN MAIL ........ NO RESPONSE DURING SHUT DOWN .... ETC ETC...
CAN I KNOW HOW TO SWITCH BACK TO LION WITHOUT LOOSING MY FILES AND DOCUMENwhat e-mail client do you have set to use?
The general answer if you are using the iPhoto client is in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Is anyone else having trouble after thy downloaded Mountain lion x with iMessages mine isnt linking to my computer because it keeps saying i have a registration error. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it
HI,
People who have had computer that has had the Logic/motherboard replaced during repair or refurbishment that has not has the Mac Serial Number Flashed to the board have found that iMessage in particular have not been able to "register".
A current purchase of Mountain Lion will tend to give you the latest version which as of Thursday (12 th Mar) is OS X 10.8.3
You can use System Information to find if the Serial Number is there as it appears under the Hardware section.
If it is missing you need to get to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider who can flash the info to the board.

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...
I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson -

After two actions I was able to run SharePoint Configuration Wizard and upgrade database. Configuration completed successful. -
My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market
Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I cannot get my external speakers to work (Bose). What can I do to fix? They worked fine prior to upgrade.
If you haven't already, go to your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">click on the center tab labelled "Output">highlight your external Bose Speakers in the list by clicking on it>turn up the Volume slider at the bottom of the window. Hopefully that solves your problem.
Hope this helps -
After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try againHi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Safari wont start. After I upgraded to Mountain Lion
After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my sfarai does not boot up. it is frustrating that I have to restart the Mac a couple of times before I am able to use safari. Anyone else experienced the same issue? how did you resolve it.
Im going to answer my own question. Problem Fixed! After I was on the phone for over an hour with a senior advisor we found the problem was with the download or the instilation. He had me Shut Down Computer and hold down Command and R then press power button hold this down until the recovery window pops up. Then reinstall mountain lion os system. this does not wipe out documents, photos and apps like windows does. I didnt know this since Im new to MacBooks. Hopefully this may help someone else.
PS I beleive In order to do this you need to be plugged into your router to have internet access. They had me do this. This will take about an hour but now Im up and running. -
Time Machine Backups after recent upgrade to Mountain Lion
Basically to keep a long story short - i need to take my computer in for repair tomorrow. I recently did an upgrade to Mountain Lion a day or two ago. I haven't done a Time Machine backup until today (a couple days after i upgraded to Mountain Lion) because i wanted to make sure that my previous TM backup (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) was the most up to date and best update that i could revert back to if i had any issues with Mountain Lion, or any application compatibility, etc etc.
I don't have any broken applications and it seems like Mountain Lion is running better than Snow Leopard. However, as i said - i'm taking my computer in for repair tomorrow, i would like to know that i have the most up to date Time Machine backup with the new Mountain Lion so that when i restore it back from my Time Machine backup after i get it back from repair, i won't have any issues with the migration, which could potentially lead me into more technicalities.
I have a 500GB Harddrive, with about 70GB left of free space....I did the initial backup prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, and it upgraded 400+GB of info, now, since Mountain Lion - the first backup with Mountain Lion initially said 46GB - then it went down to 14GB by the time it was all said and done....so what exactly did it back up?
Did it back up all the necessary files to keep Mountain Lion running smoothly when i restore it back to the way it was after i get it back? Did it not back everything up that it needs to? Is it safe to erase my internal drive and do a clean installation so i can take it in, and not worry about not being able to migrate things back over or applications not working correctly?
When i get it back, i presume it will come with Mountain Lion back on it and i can just boot up into the Recovery Disk and restore it from a Time Machine backup that way, correct?
Thanks for the help.
- JasonI received the same error and experienced the same issue that you have described but after performing a Time Capsule soft reset and then toggling the TM Off and then back On I was able issue a backup now and see my previous backups.
Here is the link to where I posted my fix; https://discussions.apple.com/message/19069543#19069543. Someone else had success using a different method. The only comment / complaint that I have since the ML OS X upgrade is that TM now takes at least 20 to 30 seconds before I can click/select a backup.
I hope this helps. -
My macbook pro starts to pop after I upgraded to Mountain Lion, what can I do?
Hi guys,
As the title said, my MBP 13" late 2011 starts to have popping sound coming out from speaker a while ago.
It just pop every few minutes and I am very worried.
I did a few research and it seems like there's something to do with the hard disk.
note that this happened right after I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
comfort me!!!
Thanks for helping.Hey Samuraijin
/Hug to start with
Well when you did the upgrade the OSX ML uses your drive alot. As you said the popping sound from your research its comming form the drive. if that is the case. Check your disk with disk utitlities just incase too see if the drive is still ok. If its all Green your good if its red it might need replacement.
Note that Popping sound is usually a hardware problem or optical audio problem when using external speakers. instead of internal ones so becareful. My advice would be too be let it slide still the next patch if disk utilities says your drive is fine (Usually after 2 weeks of main realese). After that if its still there you have to get the puppy in for a checkup.
Hope i was able to comfort you in some way
