HT204053 Can't verify AppleID for Messages (Mountain Lion app) because it's not a real email.
My AppleID (an @mac.com address) is listed as a primary email address under my AppleID Account page, but does not receive email, of course. When I check it in the AppleID account page, there is no way to decouple it so Apple stops seeing it as a bonafide "email" address and asking to verify
When setting up Messages for the first time with the new OSX Mountain release, it asks to verify the AppleID, but gets caught in a loop since there is no real "email" to check at that address.
The error message received
.mac addresses are email addresses, why can't you receive yours? have you been to www.icloud.com and tried to login with it? did you migrate the account from Mobile Me to iCloud?

Can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS6.app" because it is not supported...
UPDATE - Ahhh haaaa! If I log in with the guest account Illustrator works fine! WTF!? Oh well, at least I have a direction to be working towards, thanks for all the suggestions and assistance Adobe Community!
That was sarcasm by the way...
UPDATE - Just installed the latest Illustrator update from Adobe - still not loading. Tried reseting the iMac's PRAM, no luck.
UPDATE - I've just reinstalled the whole CS6 Suite, and the only things that have changed are that I now have a little white no entry sign over Illustrator (it still won't load) and I also have 1.5GB of application updates to do
I don't have any direct evidence but I'm guessing this is a Mavericks incompatibility judging by the other issues people are having with Illustrator. Any suggestions are welcome!
I've been using CS6 on my iMac for the past year (3.2GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB ram). Everything running fine, no problems.
Then I get the popup from Apple saying to upgrade to Mavericks, so I did. After updating my Java version, for the next two weeks everything carried on running fine. Until just now.
I finished working on an Illustrator file, saved it and then exited, only to remember I needed to make one more small change. So I clicked on the AI icon and got this error message;
'You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.' Eh???
I tried doing a reboot thinking that maybe something had just gone wonkey and needed resetting. Still no luck. So I reinstalled Java again. Nope. Then I tried every other CS6 app and they all ran fine.
Does anyone know what could cause Illustrator CS6 to be working fine for weeks and then suddenly become an unsupported app? These things always happen with you're right up against a deadline! I NEED ILLUSTRATOR WORKING NOW! HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP!
JamesI had the same issue and resolved it
I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
next I logged off,
then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
Next I reinstall illstrator
after that it worked for me. -

Can I get refund for item purchased from App store that was not what I thought?
I wanted to purchase iDVD but instead purchased an instructional video.
HI..
Sorry, but Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Just in case you are running v10.7 Lion, Lion does not support iDVD.

Has Mountain Lion solved the issue of not all sent emails being saved?
The Snow Leopard forum has a thread about Mac Mail not saving every sent item in the "Sent" folder. My email account is IMAP and it seems to work fine for most of the time except that, every now and again, a message is sent (and it really is sent) but never appears in the "Sent" folder on either my Mac Mail or the synched folder on my ISP server. This seems to happen when a message takes a long time to get to the end of the activity bar before the usual "whooshing" sound and it has been suggested that the delay causes Mac Mail to delete the message. The SL forum left the issue unresolved but I have not seen any reports of the problem being there on ML so wonder if it has been fixed and my problem lies with my ISP rather than my iMac. Has anyone else experienced this problem on ML?
My primary email account is IMAP and I have just found what I suspect are all the messages that were not saved in my "sent" folder either on my iMac or ISP server. They were in the "Sent" folder of my secondary, little-used Hotmail account and the recipients "saw" these as originating from this account rather than the one from which I actually sent them. After some testing, I discovered that, for my primary account, the "always use this server" box was not checked. I surmise that, if the Mail app has trouble using the server associated with my primary account, it simply uses the Hotmail server (this would be consistent with the delay before hearing the "whooshing"noise). What does surprise me is that, if this Hotmail server has been used, the recipient sees the message as originating from Hotmail. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Dragging windows in Mountain Lion apps
I have found that document windows in Preview and TextEdit in Mountain Lion cannot be dragged around if a dialog sheet is open. I haven't tested every Mountain Lion app. Terminal does not have this problem, nor do iTunes or Safari.
So when I go to save, and I expand the save sheet to column view, and the columns extend off the screen, I can't move the document window. This can leave columns and buttons permanently offscreen.
My current workaround is:
- Escape key to cancle the save/open.
- Move the window.
- Retry the save or open and see if the offscreen control or display is now onscreen.
iMac7,1 running 10.8.2.
I also spent a good 15-20 minutes looking for a bug report page instead of using the community discussions to report this.http://bugreport.apple.com/
I wouldn't report it as a bug quite yet, though. Personally, I can't reproduce the issue as you describe it, not in Preview nor in TextEdit. In both cases, when the sheet opens and I choose to expand the window (using the arrow in the top-right; you call it Column view) the sheet expands and, if a side would move off the screen, pushes the whole window further into the display so that the whole sheet appears.
But it sounds odd that your sheets are so broad as to move off the side of the display anyway—have you thought about just resizing them so that they aren't so broad? It's just like resizing any other window. -
I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
We could not complete your purchase
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
Thank you!
Zanjan FromerI have tried to re-install Lion
If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
***** Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion. -
I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion for my workplace. I can't find the email that's supposed to be sent automatically. Any suggestions ?
If you just purchased Mountain Lion, wait a couple of days. It sometimes takes that long for the receipt to arrive. Also check any anti-spam filters on your email application or email account to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked.
If no receipt shows up within a couple of days, you can ask your company if a screen print of the order information from the Purchase History, which should be available through iTunes by viewing your account, would be sufficient. If not, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask if they can resend the receipt.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. For me to use XCode 4.5, I must have 10.7 or later. What is the best way to go ahead? Should I install OS X Lion and then move to Mountain Lion, or can I straight away install latest Mountain Lion, i.e. 10.8.2
You can directly install Mountain Lion 10.8.0 to 10.6.8, and then apply the 10.8.2 Update.
Hope this helps -

Where can I find a list of compatible videocameras for OSX Mountain Lion?
I need a list of compatible videocameras I can use with my Mac OSX Mountain Lion. Can someone help me? I have always used a Canon ZR 950, but I was told it would not work with this new iMac. Is there an adaptor that would work with it? I bought a Thunderbolt, but it would not connect it.
You may have a hard time finding a list of Mountain Lion compatible video cameras as it can depend on which video editing software you're using.
if you want to use iMovie for editing read here > Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie '11 Supported Cameras -
I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?
Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation. -
