How to change an OSX Mountain Lion shortcut?

Hi,
I have an american Macbook Air which I bought used and a UK Macbook Pro.
Overall the differnce in the keyboard is minor and not a big problem.
However on the american keyboard on the macbook air the key comman CMD § cycles through your open windows and also has the reverse direction function to CMD Tab
That same fucntion is on the UK keyboard in CMD `
I much prefer the american layout. Is there a way to change only that one key on my UK keyboard?

Do you know how I can set it that it reverses CMD Tab as well?
No, sorry, I have not found any way to change the Dock shortcuts from the Preferences.
CMD ` scrolls from right to left.
On my german keyboard ⇧⌘⇥ (shift CMD TAB) also steps the Dock from right to left.
But I cannot find that setting either in the keyboard preferences. To add it to the Application shortcuts for Dock.app we would need to know the name of a menu command that performs the stepping right-to-left.
Regards
Léonie

Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.

I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

How can I install osx mountain lion on one specific account on my laptop?

You see, in our laptop, we have 2 accounts. My account and my sister's. I really want to install mountain lion on my computer on the laptop but my sister doesnt want that on her account. How can I install mountain lion on my account only?

You can't.
Mountain Lion is the operating system of the computer - it isn't in the accounts, the accounts are in it.
The only way to achieve something like what you describe would be to parition the computer into two seperate drives and install a different operating system on each partition. That would also mean that changing accounts would require rebooting the computer and changing the startup partition / operating system / account. Which is unlikely to be what you want.
I think you and sister need to come to an agreement about which OS to use, be it ML or something earlier. What are her reasons for not wanting to switch? Perhaps you can convince her.

HTML Mail Signatures changed in OSX Mountain Lion

Hi,
The way i usually set up a HTML email signature is by creating a new signature in mail, finding that .webarchive file in Library > Mail > Signatures and replacing it with the newly made .webarchive file of the HTML signature. This has worked fine up until I needed to do the same for a MacBook Pro running on Mountain Lion.
It seems the file type Mail creates for new signatures is now called .mailsignature. I tried using the same method as above but changing the extension to the new format but its not working.
Does anyone know how i can get my html sig into Mail for Mountain Lion?
Cheers!

Scrap that - even though i searched this forum prior to asking, after i posted it came up with a list of answers.
Problem solved!

How to buy Mac OSX Mountain Lion without going to Mac AppStore.

Hello! This is my first post on these forums so please welcome me if you are feeling nice today!
Before we get started please note that I know Mavericks is released and it is better, however I need Mountain Lion in this case. I currently can't access the Mac AppStore due to a glitch on my computer and I am wondering if there is any way to purchase Mountain Lion OSX without being on my Mac, basically just buy it on my Apple ID. If you know of any ways, please respond with a link to a website if it is a website of course, and thanks for your help in advance!

Acrobat XI, comment keyboard shortcuts gone missing, osx mountain lion

It used to be the case, with Acrobat X, that when you are making a comment on a PDF file, one would be able to use keyboard shortcuts to speed things up.
For example, one could select a point, and hit the '~' key to 'insert text at cursor', or the 'delete' key to do a 'strikethrough', and so on. It seems that
with Acrobaat XI many of these keyboard shortcuts (but not all, 's' still seems to work) are gone.
Is this intentional?
Also, to be honest, I was really looking forward to the Acrobat XI update for improved abilities to markup a PDF. It seems all of the effort went into
things like changing a PDF, but that is not at all how I use PDF. I almost always have the original source of a PDF, or if I don't, what I want
to do is markup a PDF (either with comments, or with ink using a wacom), and if anything the features for doing this have (as mentioned in the first paragraph
above) gone into reverse.
Lastly, I do all of this under osx mountain lion, I should say.
thanks.

We received a lot of issues from customers regarding the behavior in A X. Hence in A XI, we have done the changes that keyboard shortcuts for adding text correction comments will only work if "Text Correction Markup" (rightmost icon in the second row of Annotations panel) is selected or active.
Ok, I have been trying to use this for a few days, but I need to go back to acrobat X since for some reason the "text correction markup" option gets unselected about once avery 3 text corrections I make. I have been unable to figure out why it keeps getting unselected, and it is tiring to have to keep reselecting it so often. And why would you use '~' which normally does a text correction to pull up the "output preview" window???? This really makes no sense at all.
I'm also quite dissapointed that there is still no keyboard shortcut for "add note to text".
Is it really the case that so few people want to do text corrections/annotations to pdf documents that there has been no improvement to these features over the past few years? You'd think that with devices like the ipad and with remarkably good pdf readers on the ipad like goodreader (and that have a wealth of markup options, and where the authors really seem to have thought about how to make marking up pdfs quick and efficient), that acrobat would have done at least something to improve in this regard.
Oh, I figured out why "text correction markup" keeps getting unselected. I usually use esc to escable the bubble that pops up for notes/annotations to text. If you type escape again, it leaves text correction markup mode. Why would you do that?
I want to stay in text correction mode (in fact I would like it to be *always* on,like acrobat X was.
Other bugs i've found. Sometimes the bubble pops up but there is no text field. I.e., there is the highlighted callout going from the text to the bubble to the actual text, but then the text field is not shown. This is clearly a bug.
Again, this is all osx mountain lion. Maybe Adobe is still mad at apple due to flash? I don't know, but it really seems like you did not test this version very thoroughly.

To recover Mountain Lion to your purchases, open App Store > Featured > Account (under Quick Links) > Show hidden purchases, and show OS X Mountain Lion. Finally, it will appear on Purchases tab

That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability. i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

Have a look in your Utilities folder - X11 should be there. Launch it and you'll be offered the option to install.

OSX Mountain Lion Server - how do you uninstall this including services

Hi All,
Sorry if the question has been asked before.
I have Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and installed OSX Mountain Lion Server (2.2.2) and run into a couple of issues after installed successfully.
* I no longer can add users and groups.
* Open Directory fails to connect.
So I read some forums and uninstalled the server by trashing it, deleting /Libaray/Server, empty trash and reboot. But when I reinstalled the server it renabled all the services that I had previously and still not able to add users and groups. Open Directory fails to connect "not able to load replica" So I try to create a new OD and get an error the server is already a Network Server.
So basicaly I want to start from scratch and need some assistance how to get rid of OSX Server.
Thanks
Sahid

Wipe the disk, and reinstall OS X. (Not fun, of course. I just created a bootable USB disk for this purpose, and nuked an errant server configuration. A "target practice" server used for testing purposes had gone awry, and needed to be wholly reset. So I know what you're going through. Visit here or here for some instructions.)
FWIW, usual trigger for problems with OS X Server on a NAT'd network is bad DNS. That step gets skipped, or folks think they can refer to ISP or off-LAN DNS servers, and problems ensue. OS X Server needs LAN-local DNS when NAT is in use.

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
Regards

Thanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?

This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
your computer has what is called a recovery partition that came with it.
simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
you will boot into the recovery partition.
Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
it will ask you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
easy peasy

TS1394 my friends mac book pro never got an upgrde that allowed her to have the app store on her dock, now I can't help her to upgrade to OSX mountain lion... any ideas on how to do this?? it's driving me crazy!

Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
