How do I download Firefox onto new iMac/Mountain Lion

won't allow me to use/open download from Mozilla-
but cannot find 'app' in the Apple mac store
please advise. thanks

One of the new features of Mountain Lion - have you checked your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General Tab > if you have anything checked other than 'anywhere', you can only open apps downloaded outside of the app store by hitting the Control key while double clicking the installer icon.

How can I download Firefox onto a disk from my Windows PC, and then take the disk to my Mac and upload it to use on the Mac? Safari does not work anymore.

My Mac assures me that I am connected to the internet, using Airport and also ethernet, but Safari never gives me a home page. Can I download Firefox onto a disk using my Windows PC and then take the disk to the Mac and upload Firefox to use on the Mac ?

You can grab a "full" installer (.dmg file) from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

How do I load CS5 onto new iMac?

I purchased a new iMac, which doesn't have a spot to insert my CS5 disc. How will I be able to install my CS5 onto my new computer?

I get this message: "install" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Brand new iMAC, Mountain Lion installed, dashboard widgets will not download. Webpage times out. Any suggestions?

Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

I am trying to transfer files from my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.11) to my new iMac (Mountain Lion). Migration assistant tells me I need to upgrade migration assistant on the G4, but I can't find a download that will work for anything older than OSX 10.5.

Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along. It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion. I just tried to use Migration Assistant. It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5. Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
Thanks!

You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

How do I download my already purchased OSX Mountain Lion again?

I've done this before, but for some reason am blocked now on the App Store Purchases tab. I've already purchased Mountain Lion, and need to create a bootable USB drive to reinstall it. I don't feel like paying $20 again, or finding an illegal copy since I've already purchased it. But what's going on? How do I download this again?
Thanks everyone.

I don't know if that's true. If you RENT a movie you can only download it once, but if you purchase it you should be able to download it multiple times. If you purchase a movie, and delete it, you should still have it saved in the Cloud. Maybe you aren't showing purchases from The Cloud in your iTunes lists. To fix this in iTunes on your computer:
In the menu bar > iTunes > Preferences > Store (Store Preferences) > Show iTunes In The Cloud Purchases (Enable this)

How can i download the visual basic for mountain lion

hi, how can i download visual basic for my mac on os x mountine lion?

There is no Visual Basics for Macs. Real Studio works on OS X and is quite similar to Visual Basic. You should check it out, I bet it will work well for you programming course.

If not, you will have to put Windows on the Mac using Boot Camp or a Virtual Machine like Paralells Desktop 8 and use that to run VB directly. Of course, you can also use BootCamp but I recommend Paralells over Bootcamp.

New iMac Mountain Lion and 3rd party apps

Todays date is March 31, 2013.
If I were to buy a brand new iMac with Mountain Lion will I have any 3rd party Apps problems?
Mountain Lion significantly damaged my current computer and they are blaming it all on 3rd party apps, so I wonder if it is gonna continue with a brand new iMac computer?

Maybe my question was worded incorrectly. The question is not about my current computer, but about the new iMac being sold today.
Suppose I buy a brand new iMac today and tomorrow I decide to install new software that claim to be compatible with ML, is there a chance that this software might not truely be compatible with ML? If the answer is "Yes" then why bother buying another iMac?
Software sold on App Store - are there software there that do not work with ML? It really makes me wonder what the heck is going on these days.
To petermac87 - I had MacKeeper on my computer twice and both times I had to get rid of it, not sure if this software was causing problems or not, but it sure as heck did not solve any of my problems.
Hi Keith, no I understand what you are doing. You need to be careful with some third party programs. MacKeeper, as you have found, is a very destructive program, despite all their claims. It has ground some users Macs almost to a halt.
Most software from the App store and reputable developers such as Adobe, Roxio, etc. are well up to date. In fact,most software in the AppStore is Mountain Lion compatable. You will not find the dodgy Apps such as MacKeeper there. You need to remember that less is better when it comes to Macs. Your iMac does not need a swag of maintenance toolsas some people decide thry need. Clean My Mac, Anti-Virus programs, Novelty Apps etc. are unnecessary and will cause you nothing but problems.
Apps such as iPhoto, iTunes etc.are made to intergrate with the Mac OS and are therefore safe and reliable, but once you add something such as MacKeeper or Intego Security, then it most likely will cause conflicts.
So basically what I am saying is do not fill your iMac with a whole pile of unnecessary crapapps which will slow it down, cause conflict, etc. There are plenty of reliable Apps out there to do what you want. If the reviews are a little confusing, then please don't hesitate to drop back here and ask.
And of course backup your system from Day 1 so you can always return it to a working state it you do by chance install something that causes problems and you can't uninstall.
Good Luck

Can't burn CD new iMac Mountain Lion

New iMac 21" 2011 model, Mountain Lion. When connect and use camera with USB port, everything works fine, but there is no disk icon for the camera and when I disconnect it says "not ejected properly" etc. And when I tried to burn a CD, I first put it in the superdrive and used Disk Utility to erase (it was a new CD-R). After erase completed. I clicked on "Burn" went through iTunes to burn some music, but nothing would be accepted (all grayed out). Again there was no disk icon to work with, which seems to be the trouble. Any ideas?

If you decide to calm down long enough to actually check:
1. you have to create a Playlist in iTunes in order to burn a CD.
2. If you get errors, it is most likely one or both of these: a) cheap media (the Superdrives are finicky, buy quality brands - mine only likes Verbatim) or b) your burn speed was too fast - burn any CD or DVD as slowly as possible, it cuts down on errors. I've never had a problem using those two methods.
3. So, which brand CDs did you use?

Firefox won't download in my brand-new iMac Mountain Lion. The icon never appears on my desktop so I can't move it into applications and use it. What's wrong?

I've clicked the "Download" link several times and the only thing that apparently happens is a little blue blip zipping toward the upper right corner of the screen. The icon to move into "Applications" never appears.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

How do I install the ScanSnap software on my new iMac / Mountain Lion?

I have been everywhere trying to figure this out. Fujitu's site tells me to simply update the software already installed. Problem is that it's not already installed. I don't have a disk drive and so I cannot install with the disk. I downloaded v3.2 (which seems to be the software itself) from the Fujitsu site but when I double click to install I get a small box indicating 'The following disk images cannot be opened' and underneath it leasts the ScanSnap.dmg with a reason of 'not recognized'. I know this is a popular scanner (I have the S1300) and so I am hoping someone has faced this and figured it out. Fujitsu's site is rather confusing on the topic.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Cannot email photos from iPhoto on new iMac mountain lion

I have a pop account for my mail. When I got the new computer with iCloud, I had to have my pop mail forwarded to my iCloud account. That all works fine. But I cannot select a few photos in iphoto and click on 'send' for either the pop or the icloud accounts. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet (which I am) and to try again later. I have spoken with tech support at Roadrunner, my pop account, and we have checked that all settings are correct. He thinks the problem must be with iCloud. Any ideas?

If you are using iPhoto try going into the preferences and the click accounts to make sure you email account is setup correctly.

Entourage 2008 not being recognized as installed after migration to new iMac Mountain Lion.

Hello Everyone!
I;ve been browsing for answers to my problems for 2 days now. Office 2008 is not being recognized as installed on my machine. i have 2011 but i prefer Entourage as my defailt email client.
What happens: when i try to access Entourage i get a getting started window asking me to either register my product or learn more. when i try installing the update 12.3.6 for Office 2008 it tells me it cannot be installed because the software componenet necessary for installation is not found on the disc. from this I gather the actual Office is not being recognized as installed.
What I tried so far: I did all that was suggested on forums, such as checking to see if the MS office 2008 is in Applications, nothing was changed like the name of software or location of any of its components, tried getting the latest updates for the MS office 2008, tried installing on another user, none of these worked.
I am still to try reinstalling but the disc i have is an upgrade from 2004 which will prob not work in this case, since anyway I understand that .dmg is not supported anymore.
What can I do? anything that doesn't require me to use 2011, i do not like the Outlook in 2011. is there a way to activate my install of 2008 and use that? i really like Entourage, Outlook doesn't satisfy me.
please help

Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

How do I download my free copy of mountain lion. The up-to-date program says my serial is already registered.

I tried to register my name and purchase information with the up-to-date program but the site says my serial number is already registered. So am I already available for the upgrade? Or did some little punk at futureshop rip off my serial number?
