Help With Pages in Mountain Lion OSX

I have two IDs on my Mac. When using one, I am able to utilize the Cloud functionality on Pages and Numbers; on the other ID it looks just like the old Pages and Numbers - i.e. I don't see Cloud? I am using two different Apple IDs. All other functions work on both (calendar, email, etc.) Any reason?

You are right, it takes List indenting but the Ruler margins are immovable.
Guess there is a reason why this is called iWork for iCloud beta.
A note for those professing that Apple has provided cross platform tools that supposedly "just work".
This is just one of the predictable examples of why that is not true.
There are quite a few Online Applications which do work and work well. Apple's are not one of them. I have reasonably fast Internet but the most striking thing about iWork for iCloud is not just what doesn't work but what does is is excruciatingly slow.

Help with backup of Mountain Lion & upgrade to Mavericks

I am contemplating an upgrade to Mavericks from Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my iMac i5 with a 1TB HD (500 GB available) and 8GB memory.
Before doing so, I would like to make sure I can revert if necessary and thinking of possibly using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my HD onto a Lacie 3TB external HD.
Can someone make suggestions about preparing the 3TB HD? Should I use the 3TB HD strictly for CCC? Or is it of sufficient size to partition the drive to share between CCC and Time Machine? (Partition size suggestions would be helpful if that's a recommended way to go).
I have never used CCC and have not yet purchased it, so if there's any other suggestions for someone not too computer savvy, they would be appreciated. I am not currently using Time Machine, but wouldn't mind the extra safety.
Awhile back I read some unhappy posts on the new Pages & Numbers programs, so I would also like to keep my current Pages & Numbers versions for now.
Thank you.
Barbara

You must first create a new partition on the LaCie. The partition should be a few GBs larger than the total amount of space used on your internal drive.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
You can now clone your system to the new partition:
Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
     1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     3. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     4. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     5. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the LaCie backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Help with computer and Mountain Lion

I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac but cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion because my computer was purchased in early 2007. Is there any way to get the iCloud for this computer?

If your Mac meets the following requirements you can upgrade to Lion:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
However Lion is not available directly from the Mac App Store, having been replaced by Mountain Lion, but you should be able to get it by ringing 1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the USA, or the number given at bottom left of this page for other countries.

Problems with pages and mountain lion

Hey i just updated my iwork, and installed mountain lion, solely for the iwork icloud feature. I do a lot of work on my ipad and it would be very useful if they would sync with my macbook. But unfortunately when i create a new document in pages for the icloud it just says the files name and has a picture of a cloud underneath with "waiting" next to it. Why is this??

Please stop asking about that on this forum.
There are plenty of informations on the Internet if you want to do it but nobody here will help, because is against the forum's rules.
And, you can't buy Mountain Lion if you do not have a Macintosh with at least Snow Leopard installed.
There is no physical media. Mountain Lion is provided by Apple through the Mac App Store.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

I would be interested to know if Nova's Art Explosion 800,000 in compatible with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2. This is one of the clip art software programs I am considering. If this program is not compatible, can anyone recommend a compatible program I could use that is as complete as this one seems to be?
Thanks

My iMac computer crashes since I updated my mountain lion osx.

I've never had a problem until last week when I updated my mountain lion osx. Since then my computer has crashed 5 times with a repetitive beeping noise. I also updated my eyetv software.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

Track pad Gestures stops working after upgrading to mountain lion osx

I upgraded to Mountain Lion Osx from Snow Leopard on my Macbook pro (Mid 2011 model) last month. However, it happens so that sudden;y all kind of trackpad gestures stops working. I have tried to find options on System preferences but nothing really works. i have tried unticking and then ticking again all the options to no avail. Even though restarting machine sometimes help but not always. Are their anyone with similar problems and if it is did you manage to come out with possible soutions?? If you did please kindly share as it is quite annoying to use machine without those gestures
Thanks in advance

Launch Terminal, type or copy/paste the following:
killall Dock
Hit enter.
