Sorry for the somewhat terse reply from others to this question, not exactly the way to welcome new Mac users to this forum methinks! The way the forum works changed some time ago and I have to say that although I have used this forum on and off almost since its inception the current iteration is far from intuitive. When you start typing your question, possible previously answered similar questions start appearing below your typing if any of those match your query just click on the thread and it will take you there, hitting enter will post your question, whereas on most forums that would simply initiate a search for answers to your question. I'm sure there is a guide to using the forum, but really it should be more intuitive. Anyway welcome to the world of Macs!!

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

Did you buy your machine second-hand? That's really the only way you would have to purchase OS X 10.8.x from the App Store... but, yes, if you have a USB thumb drive with a bootable installer (such as made with Lion DiskMaker) you can boot from that and reinstall OS X.

Help viewer not working

When I type in a help topic nothing happens. Also, when I go to the home page it nothing happens when I click the links. This is really annoying becuase I want to ask a question and I can't get the help viewer to work.

See my "Troubleshooting Help Viewer" FAQ for comprehensive advice on fixing problems with Help Viewer.
In particular, the specific sections therein may prove helpful:
- If Help Viewer links do not work, see the "Help Viewer links do not work" section of the FAQ.
- If Help Viewer displays a blank window, see the "Help Viewer displays a blank window" section of the FAQ.
Good luck!

What version of Freehand will work on OSX Mountain Lion?

I am looking at switching from a powerbook to an iMac that is running OSX Mountain Lion, my version of Freehand is 11.0. What do I need to do to insure that when I receive my iMac that I can install Freehand and it will run?

Since FreeHand doesn't run natively on Mountain Lion, you will have to run it in Snow Leopard. The way to do that on your Mountain Lion iMac is by using program like Parallels, Fusion, VirtualBox to run Snow Leopard 10.6. You can also use Windows FreeHand in Crossover or WINE.
This site explains how to set this up: MacStrategy | Article | Virtualising Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Server)
Here's a good discussion: FreeHand Forum • View topic - FreeHand is back, at least on my MacBook Pro with Maverick

In-App-Purchase is not working properly at Mountain Lion

Hi,
I am using Mountain Lion pre-release version. I am developing a cocoa application which uses In -App-Purchase. The In-App-Purchase is working fine on OS X 10.7.4, when I run the same code on Mountain Lion, the application freezes and I have to force quit the application.
Please help.

Use the proper forums.

Mail preview not working any more - Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion - the preview is not working in Mac mail properly. So the first email in the list that I click on shows the preview but when I click down to any of the others in the same mailbox - the preview does not change. The only option I have then to see what the email is all about is to double click the email and look at it in its own window which is really annoying.
Any ideas anyone? Yes I do have all the software upgrades installed and am on the new Mac Bool Pro Retina display...
thanks

My Mac Mail does not work also.
I had a problem with Hotmail, which as you know Apple Mail somehow links to when you press "send mail"
on some Internet sites.
I had to add a new Hotmail mail address. Now my old address in HGotmail doesn;t exist, but I still receive
mail through the new one (which is called a default mail address).
So Apple Mail is still linked to my old non-working Hotmail adress, and will not accept the password for my
new Hotmail account.
I canl;t remember my old password for my old Hotmail account.
Can someone help?
Please keep the instructions easy to follow, and use ots of small steps, and aussume I know nothing!
I don't know what an IPO is, authentication certificate, how to access Mail sofware to add Apple computer language, I don;t know my Ingternet Procvder address, and so on.....
One non-woking Apple Mail!

Quicktime not working properly on Mountain Lion

I recently tried to open an client's AE project on my MACPRO (late 2010, running on Mountain Lion) and everything seemed to be offline, after digging in my client's portable drive, I found all the media but could not reconnect it to the project. AE kept saying the quicktime files were not recognizable, so I checked them, and they all were commun animation files, but nor quicktime 10 nor quicktime pro 7 could play them correctly. Both opened the files but with a blank or greyed window. I try then to playback those media files in my MACBOOK PRO (early 2013, running also in Mountain Lion) and everything played back normally, next I tried opening the AE project and everything worked, I was able to finish the project but I was forced to work on my laptop instead of using my workstation with 2 monitors. Both are running Creative CLoud's AE so Adobe's Software is not the issue, Quicktime seems to be. I tested other quicktime files and noticed that my MACBOOK PRO plays back almost anything I throw at it, while the MACPRO doesn't. Please Help.
Nesoj.

I sort of hesitate to jump in with all of my ignorance, particularly with no Mountain Lion experience, but I have seen in other threads that apple's recommendation was for Mobility settings to NOT use profile manager but to use good old Workgroup Manager. Now this rec was for Lion Server. I had heard that WGM was a goner in Mountain Lion, but I have seen some posts that it still lives for 10.8. If that is true, you might try getting and using that and see if it makes any difference for mobility. For those other issues in this thread, well . . . .
In any case, good luck, sounds very exasperating.

Why does my canoscan 9950FII suddenly not work anymore? Mountain Lion. Error: scanner not found and PCPower no longer supported.

New iMac with OS X Mountain Lion. Canocan 9950F II, bought new because my old 9950F was not supported by Mac. Driver installed from CD, everything fine, worked perfectly. After some time of not using the scanner, I tried to scan a document now. It did not work. It says it cannot find the scanner although everything is plugged in and switched on. And then the message that PC Power is no longer supported. HELP!!!

Check the Canon Web Site for new software and download the software for Mac OS X (Intel Mac) or select Intel Mac from the install disk.
I checked the Canon Support Site, but there isn't a 9950F Mark II on the U.K Site, but there is a 9000F Mark II.
The messgae you are getting suggests the PowerPC software version has been installed instead of the Intel Version.
