    i participated in the mountain lion free upgradde for new owners but i cannot open the content code because the password is too long! HELP!

    What happened was that the password was 32 characters long and the field that they give you to use would not allow you to manually type those characters in (crazy huh?) but it took it when i copied and pasted it in!

    I purchased my Macbook Pro in November 2011 and just installed mountain lion but do not have the power nap option.. anyone know why?

    It is for the MacBook with built in flash storage.

  • Is the Mountain Lion so much better than the Snow Leopard that make it worth buying?

    Is the Mountain Lion so much better than the Snow Leopard that I'm currently using and worth the money to buy it?  Is it more or less confusing to operate?

    OS X 10.7-18.0+ will NOT run any current PPC based programs your running.

    If you have a MacPro like your signature says (the tower, not the laptop) then it's not going to have much of a performance loss as say the MacBook Pro's will.
    Older, less powerful Mac's have performance losses with the newer OS X Lions, it might be best to stick with 10.6.8 on a older machine until it drops, then spend the money on all new software on a newer machine instead.
    One guy was here today and had a 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo and it was struggling to run OS X Mountain Lion, Chrome and Photoshop.
    It just didn't have the hardware horsepower for all that bloatware.
    My advice if it's not a top end iMac or MacPro, then 2010 is the cut-off point, those 2010 machines and earlier are likely better off on 10.6.8 max.
    It all depends upon one's perception of performance really.

  • The Mountain Lion Won't Install On My 2010 MacBook Pro

    After I downloaded the Mountain Lion; it won't install because it says my hard drive is on a back up drive for the time machine. I've never used Time Machine and I only have one hard drive. I wasn't able to locate a backup file for time machine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    OS X- Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups

  • How do I install mountain lion if I still have 10.5.8 ? Can anyone help me ?

    ow do I install mountain lion if I still have 10.5.8 ? Can anyone help me ?

    Buy Snow Leopard - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - install it and do all the updates to 10.6.8 and then you can download and install Mountain Lion from the App Store (assuming that your Mac has the minimum requirements).

  • I bought the mountain lion app and i have been trying for days to install it someone help i am going crazy up in here!

    I bought the mountain lion since last week and have been trying for hours to install it but i am not even getting to install it someone HELP!!!

    I wonder, if you may want to clean up your system first. You could try to scan and repair permissions on that machine, make sure no disc errors, and also do a final pram reset. Then try to re-install again.
    If the install still halts, then re-download the installer.

  • Macbook air: i dont want my friend to hear what i am hearing on the computer while calling.   i have newest version macbook air with Lion.   and while calling someone via skype, i dont want them to hear what im hearing on the computer

    macbook air: i dont want my friend to hear what i am hearing on the computer while calling.
    i have newest version macbook air with Lion.
    and while calling someone via skype, i dont want them to hear what im hearing on the computer such as Itunes, youtube, or whatever comes out of speaker.
    samething happends when im using headphones.
    i wanna listen to the music or watch youtube video during the call,
    but it is almost impossible b/c my gf can hear the sound coming off the computer much louder than my actual voice.
    this is not fun.

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

  • How to download osx mountain lion ?getting hash mismatch error.

    I must say apple has no clue. I still can't download mountain lion.

    The first thing I did when I downloaded Mt. Lion was make a bootable thumb drive.  The advantages are two fold:  One it takes less time to download than a full blown installation, and two: You no longer a prisoner of a questionable Internet connection or dependent upon the availability of Apple servers.  This can be especially important if you have to reinstall the OS.
    These are the directions that I followed:

    Though it says Lion. it will work for Mt. Lion.
    Ciao.

    Hello Allan.
    Thank you so much for posting...I am going to go insane

    But no, No general error messages.
    I click the skype icon, it bounces, but doesn't load up or anything. Sometimes when I shut down the computer and do a clean boot up, skype will work, but most times it doesn't

  • How can i get mountain lion if i only have 10.5.8?

    Do i need to bay snow leopard first to get mountain lion? I'm sorry if my english suck

    You also need to make sure that your computer can handle it: please see this page and checkthe 'Supported models' section.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If your Mac is not listed there you won't be able to run Mountain Lion.
    If it is able to run it you will first need to buy Snow Leopard: this is no longer sold in the Apple Store but if you ring the Store for your country you may be able to buy it that way.

  • Mountain Lion 10.8.1 Update BRICKED My Macbook Air

    On my previously perfectly functioning 2011 Macbook Air (1 month out of warranty, yay!).  Saw that there was an update available for OSX, clicked Update, and it told me it needed to restart.
    After reboot, nothing.  No Apple logo, just a blank gray screen.  I waited a couple of hours to restart (holding down the power button), thinking it might just be taking a while to apply the update.  After powering up again, nothing but a gray screen.  Tried safe mode and resetting PRAM, nothing.
    Took the machine to the Genius Bar and they couldn't do any of the typical fixes to make it boot either.  Said they had to send it off for off-site service (for a flat fee of $280).  What choice did I have?  Apparently it's fixed now, and I can't wait to hear what kind of excuse they have for how their update didn't kill my computer.
    If it isn't hardware-based, I will be very unhappy, though I'm sure they'll find some way to blame it on hardware.

    Apparently they ended up replacing both the logic board and the SSD, so $280 is kind of a bargain, unless of course you consider that the machine is barely over a year old.
    Thanks for your attention mende1.

  • What's up with the mountain lion toolbar question mark on the right side?

    There was a picture connected to the right side of my toolbar. I deleted it and now a question mark sits in its place. How do I access this and correct it?

    The question mark is an orphaned alias. Cmd-drag it off and poof it!
