How many Mountain Lion updates I have?

Hi everyone, my question is:
I can update one second mac (iMac 27 ') having paid a mountain lion once in my McBook pro 15'?
Thanks!

And not charge me a second time?
No. The easiset way to accomplish it is after you DL the first time, before you install, choose install later or just quit out of the installer. Go to your /Applications folder and find and copy "Install OS X.dmg" to a pocket drive or some other media. The reason is, that after install it self destructs. When you're ready to install just double-click on it.
If you don't do it this way the installer will still be avaiable to you in the Apps Store but you need to DL it again.
How many updates I have with one payment?
Updates are free and you'll get them regularly until there are no more updates avaialble for the system. Usually years.

    Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update?  Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
    The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
    iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
    To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

    How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

    Depending on which model of iMac you have, you may be able to get it by going through Mac OS X 10.6(phone the Apple Store), or you may need to buy a newer computer.

  • Mountain Lion Update Doesn't Finish - Laptop will not boot

    Hi,
    Last night I saw that there was a Mountain Lion update available for my MacBook Pro.  I've always updated my software as the updates became available.  I had several other apps to update, so I chose "Update All". 
    I got a message at the end that the installation required a reboot, however, the MacBook Pro could not restart as it said that FireFox was canceling the restart.  I looked and the FireFox add-in XMarks was stuck in some type of failed sync mode, and couldn't be stopped.  I was also unable to force FireFox to quit.
    After an hour of this, I finally just had to press the off button and power down.  I assumed that the software update would still continue when I restarted my computer, but all that I have is just a grey screen with the Apple logo and a circular progress indicator that has been going in a circle for about 7 hours.
    I guess my first question would be, "How do I actually boot into my MacBook Pro and get past this grey screen".
    Is my laptop hosed?  If so, how would I go about reinstalling Mountain Lion?  I bought my MacBook Pro on June 21, 2012, so everything should be compatible.  I have previously updated to Mountain Lion without any problems.
    I'd like to find some way to be able to boot up my MacBook and skip this grey screen.  But, if I'm just in disaster recovery mode, how would I obtain a Mountain Lion install DVD?  I've already paid for the update.
    Thanks,
    William

    I found out how to get to the disk utilities.  I also did a verbose log of the boot-up process, and it hung right after it said that the handshake with my internet connection was complete.
    So, for others, Command-R at the boot tone got me to the Disk Utilities, and Command-V at the boot tone gave me verbose logging of the bootup process.
    I repaired my disk and permissions, and nothing changed, so I decided to reinstall Mountain Lion.
    Thanks,
    William

  • Safari 6.0.3 doesnt work now that I installed Mountain Lion Update?

    I just installed the Mountain Lion update on my Mac Book Pro.
    Now, when I open Safari, it sits and spins (won't access any websites or anything). I checked on firefox (internet works), I closed it and reopened it. I restarted my computer...all to no avail.
    How do I reinstall Safari or try to reinstall ML in order to get the newly updated Safari to work? Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks All!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    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.
    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.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    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 steps 1 and 2.

  • Mountain Lion update crashing my "Apple Mail"

    I just yesterday updated my relatively new MacBook Pro I have owned for 7-months from Lion to Mountain Lion. In the last 24-hours, my Apple Mail has crashed after installing Mountain Lion. Clearly, we have a serious bug in the Mountain Lion. I have sent each crash report to Apple and am confident they will jump on this and patch it quickly ( I hope !!!).
    I am wondering if anyone else has found bugs similair to mine where you "Apple Mail" crashes for no reason after you have upgraded to Mountain Lion. Please share with me your experience.
    I am also interested in any other bugs you have discovered in Mountain Lion. Lastly, please remember to report any and all crashes to Apple so they can get ontop of these bugs.
    PS: Dispite my crashes on Apple Mountain Lion, there are many cool features I like about it. Meaning, I am not here lambasting Apple's Mountain Lion. This is all part of the process of releasing new software. Rarely, are they released 100% perfect and they end up relying on users like us to help them ferret out the many little bugs that need to be identified and squashed.
    Have a good day!

    Miraculously, the post below about Lion works for Mountain Lion as well.

    macmrjohn   Re: Mail 5 (OSX Lion) does not work after mailbox migration     Dec 15, 2011 1:43 PM    (in response to Alejandro M. Ramallo)  This same thing happened today when migrating a friend's laptop. THE SOLUTION: Inside the Library folder (Lion hides this folder now, so hold down the option key and use the Go menu in the finder — Library will appear in the menu. Go there.) you'll find the Mail folder. Inside the mail folder was another folder called V2. I simply took the contents of V2 and dragged them to the parent folder (Mail). When I launched mail again, everything was back to normal. As Apple says, "It's that simple!"

  • Mountain Lion Update - Mail (SMTP) Offline Ever Since

    I have been struggling with an issues for about four days that seems to be a known problem.  Ever since I installed a Mountain Lion update the other day, my email servers have been offline (SMTP).  I have re-inputted all my settings, have checked them and double checked them.  I am completely lost.  I can see that other people have struggled with this issue and initially the advice was that perhaps it was a problem with the email supplier.  However, after doing my research I can see it seems to be a known problem with Mountain Lion, but I cannot find a fix anywhere.
    I have an Apple Care call scheduled for tomorrow but given that I cannot find any definitive answers about this on these forums, I don't think Apple can supply me with one.
    Has anyone had the same problem and successfully resolved?  I have tried changing the ports (all three numbers mentioned in other posts), I have re-inputted the details, I have tried the workarounds that have been suggested.  I'm not remotely techie but have tried everything I have read.  I cannot get either Tiscali or my work email servers back online.  I certainly don't want to change to Outlook or anything other than Mail.
    Any ideas?  If Apple Care can help then I will of course post the outcome here
    ps iPad and iPhone do not have the same problem - most bizarre, I can send emails from those devices, just not my Macbook with Mountain Lion!

    Here's how to see if you're having the same issue I was having. (Note that, for me, the problem was not with my iCloud account; I don't know whether the steps below apply to fixing this problem for an iCloud account.)
    1. In Mail, go to the Mail menu and choose "Preferences...".
    2. At the top of the Preferences panel, choose "Accounts."
    3. In the sidebar, choose the account that you can't send from.
    4. At the top of that account's panel, choose the "Account Information" tab.
    5. Go down to the "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" dropdown menu. Does the affected account's smtp server have "(Offline)" next to its name in the dropdown menu? If yes, choose "Edit SMTP Server List..." from the bottom of the dropdown menu.
    6. In the middle of the panel, choose the "Advanced" tab.
    7. Can you see a Password field? If yes, is the Password field empty? If yes, then fill in the password and click "OK" at the bottom.
    8. Now, as you did in Step 5, choose "Edit SMTP Server List..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" dropdown and click on the "Advanced" tab. Is the password field that you just filled in empty again? If so, you're having the same problem I was having.
    Here's how we fixed it on my computer:
    9. Open your Applications folder. Find the Utilities folder and open it. Open the Keychain Access application.
    10. In Keychain Access, in the panel on the left side of the window, click on "login."
    11. In the main part of the window, in the list of keychain items, locate the keychain item for the mail account that's not working for you. Its name will likely start with "smtp" (as in, for example, "smtp.gmail.com") or it's possible that it could start with "mail" (for example, "mail.pretendemailservice.com").
    12. When you find the keychain item for the offline smtp server, click on it once to highlight it, then go to the Edit menu and choose "Delete."
    13. Now go back to Mail preferences and enter the password in the same place you tried to enter it in Step 7 above.
    In my case, this fixed the problem. The password did not disappear after I clicked "OK," and I was able to send email from the account again. I hope this works for you. I know how maddening this problem is.

  • Reminders after mountain lion update

    After the latest mountain lion update, all of the categories in my calendar now show up in my reminders (to-do list). It used to just be "completed", "today," and "to-do" shown in the sidebar. Can I get rid of the calendar categories (listed under "on my mac")? I have tried selecting and deleting them, but it says, "The reminder list  is also a calendar containing events. If you would like to remove it from Reminders, you must delete it from Calendar." Can I hide the categories from "On my Mac" whilestill seeing the iCloud ones? It just looks to busy, and I will not use these subcategories, but I don't want to hide the entire sidebar.

  • HT1338 Mac App Store will not install Mountain Lion update

    I am having an issue where I try to install the 10.8.4 update from the Mac App Store.  I click on the button and it says it needs to restart to install.  I tell it to restart and install but it does nothing.  I get the Mac App store back with it asking me to install the update again.  Looking at the infobox I see that I am still on 10.8.3.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    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.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.
