Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
Why? Good question. I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment. I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion. -
How to configure Mail app on mountain lion to not download all my emails in hotmail server. I need only just 1-2 weeks
Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

How do I install OS X Mountain Lion purchased software?
Now using v10.6 Snow Leopard on my iMac. Purchased OS X Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. To install the software I was told to launch the Mac Apple Store, click "Redeem" found under Quick Links. Can't find "Redeem" or Quick Links. Need help.
Useless. This takes me to the screen that wants the gift card or download code. My email provided a LICENSE NUMBER and a Serial Number/Redemption Code. Why is this so hard to download software that I purchased? Apple is usually better than this.

How to re-install GarageBand on Mountain Lion?
I need to re-install GarageBand on my macbook. I'm using Mountain Lion, but the only installation CD's I have are for Snow Leopard (since I bought Mountain Lion digitally).
Is there any way to install GarageBand as a single application, or do I have to completely re-install Mountain Lion OSX?seedle18 wrote:
... Shouldn't Apple allow you to access the Application Install files if you bought it digitally?
Question:
Did you previously purchase GB from the MAS...
Also... Updating from SL to ML does not upgrade the iLife components... you only get the OS X. -
My MacBook Pro will not install OS X Mountain Lion
I decided to wipe my macbook pro's hard drive. Once I did, I had to re-install OS X Mountain Lion. Well, it asked me for my Apple ID and Password. When I enter it, my computer says "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." I've heard of other people having this issue and I have not seen a resolution to this issue. How do I install OS X Mountain Lion?
Sorry, if I sound silly on this next question, or string of questions, but:
What does EFI stand for?
Is it an acronym for something?
I thought that my MacPro is 64bit? Well that is as far as I remember the salesman telling me, back when I did the B.T.O spec.
I am running 64bit apps [in full 64bit mode] as far as I understand. Like the CS suiite.
If I look at "About Photoshop…" it says — Version 12.1 x64
Doesn't that mean that it is running 64bit apps?
Or are you saysing that the "entire operating system" / "bios" or whatever it is called in Mac language, is not actually capable of running as 64bit?
I need to find my box, that came with the MacPro, ans just have a look at the info that is detailed on it. As as far as I can remember there was even a big "64bit" flashy thing, somewhere on the outside of the box.
But in the meantime, if you can perhaps help with the earlier questions.
And perhaps one more …
Where woudl I find the info / persons that I could investigate that "Hack", as I may need to investigate that a little. If anything just to be better informed, for the future. At the end of the day, if I have to scrub the entire Mac to the beginging, and reload everything, so be it, at least it will be a learning curve in the process.
I have all the legal software installers etc, so all that it will cost me is time, if it does "kill" the operating system … -
How long should an upgrade to Mountain Lion take? Our original download was interrupted by power outage, it seems to be taking forever.
Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery. -
Hi. My OS X version is 10.5.8. How do I get my version to 10.6.8 so that I would be able to install OS X Mountain Lion?
Click here, buy and install the DVD, and run Software Update.

Maverick is a mess, well up to MS at its best. i installed it over Mountain Lion on a base Air that initially came with Lion. The worst is when the screen suddenly goes blank. After a few times, i found tha tsimpy pressing the power button brought up the welcome screen which - after the password - took me back to where I was with no loss, bu tthe first time was horrible. Then WORD for MAC started behaving strangely, with normal operations simply not working - shading to copy or cut out, for instance. Click again and again, no shading - then suddenly it workds! Safari has similar issues. So too with other software downladed earlier. simply nothing works as well as all did under Mountain Lion.
So, I want to deep six Maverick and get back to Mountain Lion. I assume that if I use CONTROL R I will simply reload Maverick. Can I download Mountain Lion from the App Store and then ??? All the copying and such - a half day lost. Is there are easier way?
<Edited by Host>It's Command-R, not Control-R. You won't lose your files or settings if you reinstall 10.9 this way. Why don't you give that a go before reverting to 10.8.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine. Has anyone experienced this problem?
I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?
How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?
If you're asking about compatibility, that would be something you would need to ask of the app developers, though most apps compatible with Mountain Lion should be compatible with Mavericks. You can also consult the tables here:
http://roaringapps.com/apps
though that information comes from user reports and so should not be considered authoritative.
If you're asking whether installing Mavericks will delete your apps, no, it won't, though a good backup is always highly recommended.

The reason Win 7 looks bad is because of your poor monitor.
I run Windows 7 on my 1920 x 1200 pixels 17" MacBook Pro and it looks just as good as OS X.
The secret is to get a monitor with high pixel per square inch resolution, then any picture or graphics looks great.
Nearly all the available eye candy on OS X is available on Windows with hacks.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcsoft/
Windows has more software and it's versions are supported for a decade on average, the hardware is significantly less expensive and in the towers, customizable.
Apple just displays all fancy in one package and then charges 3x the price for the same performance as a PC.
Your not missing much, there isn't any compeling need to run OS X on your PC, it's a hassle anyway. -
Installing Mavericks over Mountain Lion
I try to install Mavericks over Mountain Lion but keep getting this message: Unapproved caller, securityagent may only be invoked by Apple software.
Now I am stocked and cannot do anything :-(
Any suggestions?Dang! that was so NOT cool. Same thing happened to me and feel lucky to have found this thread.
I was stuck in a loop of that dialog popping up saying "Unapproved Caller". I tried clicking OK repeatedly and it still kept popping up.
Seeing the comment about Safe Mode, I took the gamble and held the power switch on my 27" iMac until it powered off, waited a moment, then pushed the power button again and as soon as the chime sound happened, held Shift key to boot in Safe Mode and that worked just like it did for @Bart2904.
How in the world would an average user know how to recover from such a situation - it would be bricked computer and a trip to Genius bar. Again, not cool. -
How many times can you reinstall Mountain Lion?
Since I bought the Early 2013 15" MacBook Pro retina laptop used only 17 battery cycles on it now (2.7 with 16GB ram running Mt. Lion) computer I have not reset it. I spoke to Apple and it is registered in my name, I made a new Admin. account and password and Apple had me delete the original owners. I took off anything he had left on it. Applecare also I bought in my name. Apple said I didn't have to reset it and would be fine so I left it. They deauthorized the previous iunes account and the previous owner gave me his ID to deauthorize the computer. It was already deauthorized when I checked. He then changed his password for his security. It runs beautifully and has a Samsung screen.
I deleted the iLife apps and were going to buy them in my name (as his ID came up for updates) but now can't redownload in my name as it says I need Maverick OSon it to do so. I left the Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on it. If I contact Apple will they give me a redemption code for my name or how do I get older versions?
If I reset to new how many times am I able to reinstall Mountain Lion? If I decide to sell it later will I be able to reset it again with no problem for the new owner?
Thank you for your help. This forum is a source for many of us new owners to solve things.As long as you do the download with your Apple ID, it'll be in your name. Reverting back can be a little involved. If you have that in mind, you should make a full backup of your clean install of ML and save it somewhere. Then you can just copy the image back with Carbon Copy Cloner. External drives are cheap, that's how I'd do it.
