How do i use messages on on osx mountain lion

It tells me i need to log on to talk.google.com, i type in my password and it just tells me to keep logging in. i even reset my password

Have you configured your Gmail account in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars control panel? This was the easiest way for me to do it.
Open SysPrefs > Mail, Contacts & Calendars and click the "+" button to add a new account. Click Gmail and enter your credentials. Then you can choose the option for Messages.

  • How can i use an external screen on mountain lion when i'm running on battery power?

    Hey all:
    I just upgraded from snow leopard to Mountain Lion, and i use external screen, keyboard and mouse all the time....
    On Mountain Lion it's perfect when the power adaptor is connected as soon as you close the LID your external screen becomes the primary screeen and it's fully functional desktop (no mirroring or extension screen)
    But the problem is when i'm in battery power, in snow leopard i used to close my lid my mac goes to sleep then i wake it up using the mouse and immediately open the LID so it doesn't go to sleep again and now i'm running on battery power with a primary external screen.
    Any idea how to use an external screen on mountain lion while i'm on battery power? (i know i can use mirroring but i want just 1 primary screen and the laptop screen would be turned off )
    Thanks for the help.....

    Thanks again
    You can't with the lid closed, that's one of the rules for clamshell mode.

  • How do I uninstall Acrobata XI on osx mountain lion?

    So I tried out the trial version of Acrobat XI, and I'm dissapointed to say that I find it to be very poor.
    I mainly was hoping that there would be new features for annotation of existing PDF files, but the features have actually made it harder
    to do so (e.g., new "features" like needing to select an extra button to mark things up, text windows being half there, etc.).
    In any event, my one month trial will be over in about a week but I'm ready to uninstall it now (I'm staying with Acrobat X), but
    one other "feature" of acrobat XI is that there does not seem to be an uninstall program on osx Mountain Lion (this is particularly
    annoying since for some reason something keeps setting Acrobat XI to be the default pdf reader, even though I keep explicitly
    setting it to be Acrobat X). Acrobat XI is a real lemon.
    In any event, can someone help me get this program (Acrobat XI) off of my machine?
    thanks very much.

    Actually, I figured out how to do it. There is a program (or script, or something) right in the same directory where the program lives, and if you just run that, it will do the trick.
    I'll be back again to take a look at Acrobat XII, unless I find something else before then ...
    Please, next time, work on annotation of existing pdfs (things like ink, comments, etc., all of the things that the ipad app Goodreader, or even iannotate, is good at).

  • 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 use "Preview 5.0" in mountain lion?

    Heya,
    The scaled-back features for making notation in Mountain Lion Preview is getting me down. I was using Preview to make detailed, indexed, correlated notes on research materials, but the cosmetic changes to highlight and note tools just can't meet my needs; there are too few options. I've lifted the old version of Preview (5.0.3) from an earlier version of the OS, hoping to uise that for my notating, but it cannot be opened:
    Note: I renamed it to prevent confusion. Having the original, expanded features back would really help with my work. Anyone know a way to get the old Preview to open?
    Cheers!

    There must be a reason - anyone know what in the OS is blocking this, and why Apple would go to these extremes?
    Often, it is because the system level files the app relies on to function have changed enough in the new OS that they won't work with the old version of the app.
    You can get an idea of what's involved by launching the current version of Preview, then launching Activity Monitor & double-clicking on the Preview process in Activity Monitor's list of processes. In the window that pops up, select "Open Files & Ports." You will see that it requires various System level files like frameworks, extensions, & data files. If any of these files work differently in the new OS version (& many of them usually do), then the old version of the app is likely to be incompatible with them.

  • Where can I find a list of compatible videocameras for OSX Mountain Lion?

    I need a list of compatible videocameras I can use with my Mac OSX Mountain Lion.  Can someone help me?  I have always used a Canon ZR 950, but I was told it would not work with this new iMac.  Is there an adaptor that would work with it?  I bought a Thunderbolt, but it would not connect it.

    You may have a hard time finding a list of Mountain Lion compatible video cameras as it can depend on which video editing software you're using.

  • Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

    Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

    It appears that many of the problems with the HDMI are the "monitors" that are being used. Samsung and Vizeo both DO NOT support a computer input on HDMI only VGA. There probably are others, manuals must be read to confirm compatability.
    I strongly believe that the reason the 10.8.2 update was pulled is due to the fact (it happened to me) that the new Disk Utility creates a Fusion drive if aftermarket SSDs are added to the system. I think Apple wants this propriatary Fusion Drive to be something you buy from them not a "homebrew" for lots less money.

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!
