Home sharing don't work in Mountain Lion update

both Apple TV and Remote fails to load Itunes library arggghh!! everything is set up restarted rebootet and run through several times.
anybody have same issues or hopefully a solution?

Hi All,
Just did the ML and iTunes update and identified this issue.
The following fixed the issue for me:
Settings / Sharing / File Sharing / Options (button)
---> Enable "Share files and folders using AFP" (wasn't enabled)
---> Enable "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" (already enabled in my system)
After enabling AFP sharing, my ATV2 worked perfectly with home sharing from both the native disk/volume and a NAS volume.
Cheers!

Back to my mac screen sharing no longer works since Mountain Lion release, even on Lion

I've used screen sharing via iCloud and back to my mac between a 2007 macbook and a 2010 imac. Both computers are still on Lion but screen sharing stopped working when Mountain Lion was released. I've read a number of comments on this forum that people were having trouble since upgrading to Mountain Lion, but I don't think that's the problem b/c I haven't upgraded either machine. I think the problem is something Apple did in preparation for the Mountain Lion release date and it seems to have damaged screen sharing functionality. Anybody else experiencing this or have a fix for it.
As for the specifics, I can still see my "other" machine under shared and can click "share screen," it usually searches for a couple minutes, then pops up the password dialogue box, but then searches for a while and eventually the password box closes, "screen sharing" stays open, but there are no windows associated with it.

I have the same problem, just today (although I'm still running 10.6.8). Every morning I turn on my main Logic mac then fire up my 2 slave macs, connect to them, activate Screen Sharing, and get going.
This morning I tried it, connected to the other macs as usual (I can see/access/alter their hard drives from my main mac) but when I click "Share Screen" I just get the "connecting" dialog box & it just keeps going.
The weird thing is, when I put my laptop into the network via wifi, I can screenshare my main mac's screen (all 3 of them, actually!) but not my 2 slave macs that are ethernet'd to the main mac.
I've tried every solution I could find via google, and nothing is working.

Home Sharing iTunes 11.1.5/Mountain Lion/iOS 7

Since updating to iTunes 11.1.5 I am unable to see my shared libraries from my iPhone or iPad running iOS7.
When using the previous version of iTunes, the iOS devices were able to see the shared libraries, but had great difficulty connecting consistently.
The iTunes I am trying to share from is running on 10.8.5.
I have another Mac, running Mavericks. That Mac can see and share the Mountain Lion's library. The iOS devices can see the music from the Mavericks iTunes (also 11.1.5), but can not play it - each song scrolls by as if it has zero length.
All the devices are on an AirPort Extreme network. The Mountain Lion Mac is wired and the rest are wireless. Enabling the wireless network and disabling the wired network on the Mountain Lion Mac doesn't change anything, nor does signing in/out of Apple ID, restarting Music App in iOS devices or many of the other tricks that have been described.
Disabling IPv6 doesn't help, and the AirPort Utility can't see the base station with IPv6 turned off. It's currently set to local-link only, as that solved othe IPv6 issues.

This may be extremely obvious, but I missed it, despite reading http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972:
There are two places to enable Home Sharing.
I had it enabled in Preferences > Sharing Preferences
However, I did not have it enabled in File > Home Sharing. As soon as I turned it on there, it asked for my Apple ID (which was already signed in to the iTunes Store and iMessage and numerous other locations) and then everything worked correctly.
I don't know if this is left over because I have been running iTunes since there was iTunes and have consistently carried over preferences as I upgrade machines. However, this is a ridiculously awful interface. I had presumed that I definitely had Home Sharing enabled, as I've clearly checked 'Share my library on my local network'.
Hope this helps someone else who has a similar issue.

Performance issues home sharing with Apple TV2 from Mountain Lion Server

I have a Mac Mini which I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion Server from Snow Leopard Server.
I have noticed that the performance of Streaming a film using Home Sharing to an Apple TV2 has degraded compared to the Snow Leopard setup. In fact the film halts a number of times during play back which is not ideal.
I have tested the network between the 2 devices and cannot find a fault.
Has anyone come across this problem before.
Are there any diagnostic tools I can use to measure the home sharing streaming service to the AppleTV2 device.
Any help much appreciated

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

Firewire, Virtual software and Chrome don't work under Mountain Lion. Why?

I upgraded two machines to Mountain Lion: A Core i7 iMac and a Core2Duo Mac Mini running OS X Server.
The first thing I noticed was that any virtual machine software icons - Fusion, Parallels and Virtual Box - show up with the circle crossed out, even though each version was the latest installed (came as part of a couple of MacUpdate bundles).
Then I noticed on the iMac, all firewire devices were not being seen. I have a Lacie 4big Quadra hooked up via firewire 800, an LG DVD+R drive on firewire 400 (800 to 400 cable coming out of the Lacie) and an EyeTV 200, which all were working just fine under Lion. System Profiler shows a "Maximum Speed: up to 800 Mb/sec", but no devices listed as available. I did dupe the original Lion installation to an external USB disk but haven't resorted to that yet. Tried identifying all connected devices at the command line, but haven't had success finding the firewire devices.
Finally, although the latest Safari is nice and fast, I have been accustomed to working with Google Chrome. On the iMac, every time I attempt to run Chrome, it comes up crashing and asking if I wanted to report it, which I do. I even went as far as to delete and reinstall Chrome and I get the same result. What's up with that?
Ideas?
Regards,
Tony.

Since posting, I found out there were some updates available from VMWare, Parallels and Oracle (VirtualBox) which now allow them to run properly under Mountain Lion.
I still have the problem with Firewire and Chrome though... For Chrome, I have deleted and reinstalled but get the same result. As for Firewire, I'm almost ready to "reorganize" my wiring from adding another powered hub and hooking some of the devices via USB, or just follow the lines and plugging and unplugging, although moments before the reboot from Lion to Mountain Lion, all firewire devices worked in the configuration described and nothing had since changed...
Regards,
Tony.

Time Machine don't works with Mountain Lion Client

Speakers no longer work after Mountain Lion update.

After my update of Mountain Lion my speakers in my macbook pro no longer work. The speaker symbol is grey and the volume can't be moved. Anyone else have this issue?

Seems there is no real solution to this problem. If you have a time machine backup you can go back to 10.7.2.
Since I did the clean install of 10.7.2, I don't have any audio problems. My MacBook Pro now runs smoothly. I guess I stick with 10.7.2 until 10.7.4 is released.
You can also try some of these suggstions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3705456?start=15&tstart=0
Hope you get your audio working.

Logic 9.0.0 NOT WORKING with mountain lion update

Hey guys,
I was running on snow leopard 10.6.8 prior to this evening and I had logic 9.0.0. I didn't get it from the appstore, though. When I try to open logic it shows the following message:
I really need to have logic working. I did do a back up with time machine before I downloaded the update for mountain lion, so it was running on snow leopard and logic was working fine when I backed everything up. But i'd rather not downgrade since I already spent the time and money to upgrade it would just be another hassle, and since this is the first time I've upgraded my mac I don't know how I would upgrade again once I downgraded.
The most favorable solution would be if I could keep mountain lion but have logic 9 still working. please HELP thanks!

If you or, any one else is having the same problem, I had the same. It transpired that I hadn't installed Logic in to my applications folder, so I transfered my version of Logic to the aplications folder, downloaded the update from apples website (google it) and I was away.

Microsoft Office 2011 won't work with Mountain Lion update

I have an early 2011 version Macbook Pro. Until yesterday I have been running Lion, I updated to Mountain Lion last night and now my Microsoft Office 2011 won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

When I try to open any MS Office program or file I get an error message that reads "Microsoft Office cannot open because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft (Outlook, Word etc.) works with this version of OS X you may need to reinstall the application..." the problem is I bought this Mac used and I don't have the disc to reinstall the application. I've gone to the MS Office 2011 Mac website and downloaded a service pack and an update (the only two things available to me) but that still doesn't help. Where would I find the update you are describing?

Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
Any clues?

Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout. Open Terminal and type:
killall Dock
This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
Cheers

Facetime not working after Mountain Lion update

I have a Macbook Pro. After I updated to Mountain Lion (from Lion), Facetime no longer works. I've tried with multiple people, but they aren't receiving my calls and I'm not receiving their calls. In Lion Facetime worked fine, but now it's not working. I also can't get iMessages to work. This is very frustrating, because I was really looking forward to iMessages. My Macbook Pro is still new, I purchased it in the first week August (2012). It came with Lion already installed. It's only 2 months old now. So I know my computer can support all of Mountain Lion's features. By the way, I'm running on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Any help would be great! Thanks

Hi,
The two may be linked as there is a common support app called IMAgent that helps with both Messages and FaceTime.
Shut down both apps.
With the Finder as the Front App > use the Go Menu > Hold down ALT key and select Library.
In the Library find and open th Preferences Folder
Find com.apple.IMAgent.plist and drag it to the Trash
Before restarting the App now go to Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities.
Find imagent (it is in lower case).
Highlight and use the Quit button.
Now restart the app(s).
This will recreate the .plist from defaults.

Trackpad click not working after Mountain Lion update

I updated computer in question, a 2009 MacBook, to Mountain Lion today, and it appeared to work. It installed, then I was prompted with a log-in screen. I entered my Apple ID and password, but was unable to click go. Easily hit enter instead; this worked. The next screen, however is a Terms and Conditions one with only the options of "Back" and "Next." I cannot click on either of these. The mouse moves around perfectly when I use the track pad, but I am unable to choose anything by clicking and therefore cannot get past this screen and to my computer. Any help?? Thank you!

According to the Dymo Technical Support page for that model:
MACINTOSH
DYMO Label Software version 8.4.1
New In This Release:
- Latest version of DYMO Label™ software - Free download
- QR and PDF options have been added to the available barcode list.
- Minor bugs were fixed.
- Support for Mac OS® v10.8 Mountain Lion
Have you installed the driver version 8.4.1 as mentioned above?
Hope this helps

Open Recent function won't work after Mountain Lion updates

I recently did a fresh install of mountain lion (after using snow leopard for years). iWork, which came with my MacBook Pro worked great, until the update. Obviously I had to do a fresh install of iWork 09 from the CD I had. I then updated iWork through the software update. Now running pages 4.3 etc.
However, for pages and numbers I can't get the Open Recent function to work. It's just empty, no matter how many docs I've opened or worked on.
Any tips??
Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Menu > Pages > Preferences > General Preferences > For New Documents: check Show Template Chooser
When you now open Pages it will show you an open dialog with the option to look for those files either in your iCloud folder or on the regualr place on your Mac.
Personally I prefer the File Menu > Recent.

2010 Mini superdrive has stopped working after Mountain Lion update - anyone else?

After updating to 10.8 the superdrive on my 2010 mini has completely stopped working. It will not accept any disks. Disk Utility sees the drive as a working drive. Anyone else having this issue? If yes and you've resolved it, how??

Same thing happened to me with Mountain Lion. It seems that at the moment there's no solution. I've tried to burn a DVD with Toast Titanium, iDVD and the SimplyBurn. All of them failed.
It's a shame that Apple did this because we pay for a computer with a drive that could burn DVD discs. I´m very, very disappointed with Apple!
