Check your system capabilities.
SL just needs an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM.
Lion only needs Core2Duo processor ans 2 GB RAM.
These are ML requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

  • How do i turn off messages with the new mountain lion os?

    My husband and I share an Apple ID. When I use the iMessages on my MacBook it send them to both of our iPhones. How can I turn this off on my computer?

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    Apple has not detailed Mountain Lion's requirements or how it will be made available, and probably won't until much closer to release. So we cannot answer your question at this time. Keep an eye on Apple's web pages for Mountain Lion as well as the many Apple-related news web sites and I'm sure you'll see the announcement when it comes.
    Regards.

  • HT2020 Can I download iChat when I have the new mountain lion update?

    I downloaded the new mountain lion, but I cannot figure out how to download iChat. Is it possible to download iChat?

    Hi,
    Most of the Major IM services (AIM, Jabber, MSN/Live and Yahoo) do not allow cross over.
    i.e. you need and AIM account (Screen Name) to chat to other AIM Screen Names or a Jabber ID to talk to jabber  Buddies and so on.
    Apps such as AduimX and ProteusX have long had the ability at least for text chats to have all your Messaging Accounts in one app.
    iChat was originally AIM only (well, in addition to Bonjour - then called Rendezvous)
    In iChat 3 Jabber was added (a bit of work was needed to get GoogleTalk to work)
    iChat 4 added a separate option to Add Google accounts as well as Jabber.
    iChat 6 adds the Yahoo option.
    At Messages 7 (numbers continue but the name changes) adds iMessages to the other four methods/Accounts.
    Messages is an App that can allow you to access 4 external Services and one LAN Based one.
    Much like Mail can access many external Email accounts.
    Whereas emails are fairly standard that web based and App based version can read/display emails created in a multitude of apps the Messeging sdie of thinsg has never got that far.
    Adium and Proteus have used Backward engineering in a lot of what they do to be able to join as many type of service as they do.
    iMessages can be sent to iPhone Numbers (that have been registered (enabled on the iPhones) for iMessages) or to Apple IDs that may be in use on Macs running Messages or iPhones and other iOS devices that may be using Apple IDs or iPhone Numbers (as you can link them).
    Bonjour can be sent to other Macs on your LAN that have iChat or Messages with the Bonjour account Enabled.
    It takes your name from your Address Card and broadcasts this as your Buddy Name in their Buddy lists.
    (you see their Address Book Name).
    AIM does have it's own registration site.
    However Apple originally made an Agreement with AIM when iChat started out and any Apple Issued ID is still valid (there are exceptions)
    Any @mac.com whether Paid For Trial or a Lapsed account counts.
    Any iCloud Issued @me.com and @icloud.com IDs work if you keep the Password to the 16 character AIM server limit.
    Any MobileMe issued @me.com that has lapsed will not work.
    These newer iCloud linked IDs can not be used in iChat 5 or earlier due to the way the later apps login and Check the password (you login to Apple AND AIM to confirm access to the password).
    Jabber is a lose collection of separate severs that can be what is called Federated.
    This allow Buddies from Other servers to be added to your list and fro your to be able to Contact them.
    Google (with a Google Mail ID and Talk enabled in your Account settings)  is a Jabber server
    Facebook (Enable Chat and use the new Chat ID) is also a Jabber server.
    This is the most extensive server list I know of.
    It also highlight which sort of Transports a server may be using.
    Transports offer a way of linking to other services within  a Jabber account (Instructions)
    Yahoo is text only within Messages and iChat 6
    Whilst Yahoo themselves made an agreement with MSN that MSN/Live IDs could be used over the Yahoo network you cannot use one in The Yahoo option in Messages/iChat 6.  It has to be a Yahoo registered ID.
    Video
    AIM and Jabber accounts can Video to other Macs running Messages or iChat (ver 3 and above for Jabber)
    If you have enough Internet speed for Video then you can Audio Chat and Screen Share with these Accounts
    Bonjour will also Audio Only or Video chat to those LAN based macs
    Yahoo does not do Video.
    iMessages will invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during a conversation.
    It is fair to say that Google, Facebook and AIM all offer ways to now add Buddies from the Other Services.
    It is best if you use the web based method to do this but they should appear in the Buddy lists.
    If all your people were using iChat before you do not  need to enable the iMessages account in Messages.
    You can make do with the AIM (valid) Screen Name or Jabber ID that you were using before.
    My Messages > Preferences > Account looks like this (Mavericks)
    I have set an AIM account to a non identifiable pane.
    The Window Menu list looks like this (see the General section on Unlinking them)
    I used the Jabber.me server as it offered Transports that could then be used by other Jabber servers.
    This meant I could add Buddies from MSN linked this way to my Google Buddy list.
    I display the Buddy Lists all the time like in iChat and my Desktop looks like this
    I hope this helps

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

    I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

  • I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

    I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
