How to install PSE 9 on Mountain Lion (Mac)?
I recently transferred from Mаcbook Pro to Macbook Air using Migration Assistant. When I started Elements for the first time on MBAir, it said that something was wrong with the installed Elements and I should reinstall. First I used the Air's ability to use another computer's DVD drive (it has none itself). The installer failed. Then I used an outboard USB DVD drive, but the installer failed again. I then deleted the Elements on the new computer and tried to install again using the disk in the USB drive. It failed. If there is anybody there who can help, i'd very much appreciate it!
Did you go around after running cleanscript and delete everything manually? Cleanscript just breaks all the internal links. You have to do the work. Check especially hard drive>library>application support>adobe.
You can never successfully migrate PSE. The migration assistant is designed to deal with applications which follow the apple developer guidelines and are nice tidy self-contained packages with everything in the Applications folder, whereas the PSE installer is more like buckshot--it strews necessary bits all over your hard drive in many places the MA isn't programmed to look.

Problem installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion
Hi, I'm having trouble installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion. It worked just fine on Lion, then I upgraded to ML, and it wouldn't open. I deleted and tried to reinstall PSE 8, and have not gotten beyond the "Progress" pane with a message that "a required component has failed to install correctly", with the error:
"Adobe Anchor Service
Error:
Error 2."
I have tried a bunch of different things; running the CS cleaner tool, disabling my virus software, repairing disk permissions, restarting my computer, and deleting all Adobe files from these locations:
/Users/<<username>>/Library/Application Support >> The Adobe folder
/Users/<<username>>/Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
/Library/Application Support >> folder named Adobe
/Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
/Applications >> Application files
/Applications/Utilities >> The Adobe Updater
I've even created another admin account on my computer and tried to install PSE 8 there, but I still get the same error.
Any help to get this sucker installed is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!I looked a little more into fixing the issue, and it turns out that I missed the top level Library > Application Support > Adobe folder. Once that was deleted, my problem was solved.
I did find this article helpful, for anyone else who is having similar issues: http://www.cultofmac.com/90060/how-to-completely-uninstall-software-under-mac-os-x-macrx/

Installing Tiger on a Mountain Lion Mac
I'm setting up a Blu-Ray authoring suite and part of the software is a photoshop plug-in that only is supported up through Mac OS 10.4.8.
Our graphic designer is working on a Mountain Lion machine. Is it possible to install Tiger using VMFusion, other software or a different internal drive to get
the Mountain Lion Mac to allow the tiger install?
Thanks for any help or advice.
DBIt's over three years old & probably came with Tiger originally.
Then it would had to have been an Intel based Mac that came with an Intel version of Tiger (10.4.x) since the retail version was PowerPC only. Otherwise, it would literally be impossible to run Mountain Lion on the same Mac.
check this link out-
It takes a very large amount of monkeying around to get Tiger to install in a VM. And the success you linked to was with a very old version of VMWare. As the VM software packages come out with new versions, those steps no longer work. Your chances of getting Tiger to install in a VM you can currently purchase is virtually nil.
no
Why not? What difference could it possibly make to withhold such information? Knowing could help others lead you to a solution. -
I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55). I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft. I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5. I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support). I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition. I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS.
Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book. If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer. Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up.
Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc. But the USB doesn't. (1 hour later) I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.mikkel-kj wrote:
These apps paralells and fusion and virtualbox, are they in Mac App Store? And when I have the app installed what then, now it ain't only bootcamp what shall I do now to install windows 8?

Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox are available from their respective sites. Read their installation instructions which explain how to install Windows. -
How do I get MS Office 2011 to install from DVD on Mountain Lion?
I just did a clean install of OS X Mountain Lion from a prepared bootable SD-Card on a new partition of my harddrive and wanted to install Microsoft Office 2011 using the original disc. But after double clicking the installer icon nothing happened besides the rainbow colored spinner showing up and disappearing shortly after and my optical drive making some noise. Activity Monitor indicated that the process of the Installer application doesn't react so I had to force quit it. I tried it multiple times to install MS Office this way using the disc but the problem persisted, also after a reboot.
So far my system is still in a pretty fresh state since I installed hardly any separate apps yet and the most intrusive one of them is probably merely Sophos. OS X's Installer app worked the way it should when I was installing iLife the day before using the Applications Install DVD that came with my Mac.
When I installed Office 2011 the first time, presumably one year ago on another partition on the same Mac which was running OS 10.6, everything worked fine and the same is true for the time when I upgraded to OS 10.7 (although I didn't install Office again, I just kept everything on the same partition).
So is there anyone out there who experienced similiar problems and can please help solve this problem?Well, that depends on what you mean when you say "verified". But as I wrote in the first post I was able to install iLife from disc on Mountain Lion without much ado. And just now I tested a DVD with some pictures on it and the disc drive would read and display all photos in Preview.
And given the facts that I rarely use my optical drive at all and that my machine is only little more than a year old, a drive failure seems quite unlikely. But thanks for your response anyway! -
After Installing the OS x Mountain Lion some o the softwares are asking for Java SE 6 Runtime. Can someone please help me find a solution.
By default, ML no longer comes with the Java runtime preinstalled. I believe the route to enabling Java if you are going to need it is to run the Java Preferences app found in Utilities. It will inform you of Java's absence and offer to install the latest version and activate it. On subsequent runs, the Preferences app will allow you to fine tune how the runtime operates.
Note that the new default operation is for the applet plugin to be disabled. You need to enable it as needed and it self-deactivates if unused in awhile. Also important to note that Java comes in both 32 and 64 bit versions and you can set the preferred order. Default is 64-bit but I've had issues with some applets failing to run and have had to switch the order. -
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. -

How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in 5x7 format?
How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in a 5x7 format? 5x7 is not listed as an option in the print menu.
For custom print sizes, see the software called Clickbooks: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/
I would ask them if what you want is possible before purchasing. A customer of mine got it to make many other custom formatted pages. Don't have them anymore, but they I'm sure could tell you if it is possible. Be sure to also indicate your printer model. -
Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error. I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail. After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error. However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution. I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop. So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x. The install then went off without a hitch. I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?
How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

How do i fix mail in mountain lion
I upgraded to mountain lion and am having problems with Mail. The mail boxes appear but one of the accounts is offline. When I try to put it online i get the 'spining wheel of death'. I force quit, and open system preferences and find that another one of the accounts is offline. I try to modify and again get 'the wheel'.
When mountain lion first uploaded it opened mail twice, one was the older style, and the other window was in the latest style.
So far i have tried re installing via internet the mountain lion os, tried putting the mail folder from ~library onto the desktop, restart and open up mail. This fixes everything ( mail preferences no longer hang, system preferences can be altered, etc ) BUT i need to try to get the old mail settings to work as i have forgotten the passwords to 4 gmail accounts and it's a real hassle to recover them.
Any ideas as to what might work?Only by reinstallin Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
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 the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way
How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
