HT3258 I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. After that, I've had innumerable problems with email & none of the documents in Word are openable - a dialog box pops up saying that no Power PC applications are available, or something to that effect
I will re-enter my question: I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. Since then I've had difficulty accessing my Verizon email. Also, all of my Word documents are no longer openable. I get a dialog box that says Power PC apps are no longer supported. Have any of you experienced this & if so, have you just had to "bite the bullet" & start re-doing your docs in Page?
Office 2004 is not compatible with Lion or Mountain Lion because they don't include the Rosetta software that allowed PPC apps to run on Intel hardware.
Office 2008 was the first version of Office designed to run natively on Intel chips.
Office 2011 is the current version.
You can update to Office 2011, Office 2004 was introduced 9 years ago. You can use other 3rd party softwares, i.e., iWorks, Office Libre, etc., that are capable of handling Office documents.
Or, you can revert back to Snow Leopard.
All in all, this topic has been covered in these forums almost every day since Lion was introduced 2 years ago.
Please search the forums for more info.

I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer
I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer.
Now my computer is stuk on restart and wont turn on.
Can somone help me with it?
Thanks.If Mende 1's suggestion doesn't solve it you might find the following useful:
I would first reset the SMC:
Shut down and unplug the Mac.
Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
Hope this helps -
I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together. -
I have recently upgrades to Mountain Lion and I can not get the calendar utility to come alive. Icon appears in the tast bar but the application does not launch or appear to be any where else. Any suggestion?
Did you look in the Applications folder for Calendar? If it is there, remove the item that is in the Dock and replace it by dragging the Calendar application to the Dock.
If it is not there, did you have iCal located somewhere other than the Applications folder when you upgraded? -
I recently upgraded to mountain lion and when i go to attach a picture from appeture it does not appear after i click the attachment it just dissapeared how do i get it back HELP
In Aperture, go to preferences->Previews. Ensure that "share previews with iLife and iWork" is set to "always" or "at exit."
Also ensure all your photos have previews. -
My screen suddenly zooms too big without me touching anything (i.e. mouse or keyboard). I can't reduce it. Part of the menu reappears when I click at the very top, but I can't even get the red-yellow-green buttons to show. I recently "upgraded" to mountain lion. Did not have this problem in the past. My settings appear to be correct. Any suggestions?
Hi, have you tried setting a different rez in thje Disply Pref Pane of System Prefs?
Do those things show if you Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup)? -
I recently upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot connect to my Brother QL-570 Label Maker
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now cannot print out on my Brother QL-570 printer. I get as far as typing in the label name and then the labeller or computer disconnect. I have tried downloading drivers from Brother but they can't do that as only Apple can do that but there is nothing in Apple to do that. I also reloaded the program off the set up disc. . Any ideas?
yeah-find out where you're downloading stuff to, and stick with it. I'm using FireFox and tell it to save the driver and stuff on the desktop, and when I quit FireFox, there it is on the desktop. you'll also need your admin password. It should show up as a .dmg file, then double-click on it to open it. You should see "Brother.pkg" . start up brother.pkg (double click??) and folow the instructions that ought to appear to install the printer driver. If the .dmg file doesn't mount, use Disk Utility** to mount it and get it working. Then you should see the package. and then you can install it.
** you may have to click on the .dmg file and choose "Get Info" then Open with, then choose disk utility, and then open with then change all. then close it. Hopefully that ought to work. If you cannot remember your admin password, I can't help you right now. Looks like you'd need it, to let Brother install that printer driver.
well, enough for tonight
if this didn't help you, then ask me again tomorrow

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?
fighter19lisa wrote:
that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.
fighter19lisa wrote:
my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing. -

reinstalled my creative suite, because indesign was not opening. Now when i try opening it, a box pops up saying to re-launch it. What do I do?
Often you have to start by using the Adobe Cleaner tool first to remove all the Adobe applications:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then do your reinstallation. -
Recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and some things have altered.
Recently, I upgraded to Mountain Lion. As i mainly use my computer for digital imaging, I have mainly picture files stored in documents. I am often taking image files out of folders and dropping them on my desktop. For quickness, before i upgraded, my Mac used to copy the file automatically, leaving one in a folder, whilst at the same time dropping an image onto the desktop. It did this as I dragged it out of the folder. Now, since upgrading, it doesn't do this anymore. So when i've finished with an image i am putting it in the trash, assuming there is one in still in my folders. So i am losing images. I find edit> copy>paste command each time, too time consuming. This simple task is now a bit of a chore. How do I get my computer to do automatically keep a copy in the folder, once dragged on to desk top?
Yes it does work if I hold the ALT key whilst clicking and dropping. Which is better than edit>copy>paste. However, before i upgraded I did not have to hold the ALT key, the computer did it automatically. I still have to remember to hold the key. Also, I over use the ALT key as it is. It is the main key for cloning (rubber stamping) in photoshop. This will be the first key to stop working on my keyboard, so I don't want to give it too much extra use. I need the Mac to automatically copy my image files without holding a key down. It means I can't work as quick as I used to and I am losing too many images this way. Is there are way of making an action, a shortcut command for 'ALT' copying? I presume this it what I had it like before.

Time Machine Backups after recent upgrade to Mountain Lion
Basically to keep a long story short - i need to take my computer in for repair tomorrow. I recently did an upgrade to Mountain Lion a day or two ago. I haven't done a Time Machine backup until today (a couple days after i upgraded to Mountain Lion) because i wanted to make sure that my previous TM backup (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) was the most up to date and best update that i could revert back to if i had any issues with Mountain Lion, or any application compatibility, etc etc.
I don't have any broken applications and it seems like Mountain Lion is running better than Snow Leopard. However, as i said - i'm taking my computer in for repair tomorrow, i would like to know that i have the most up to date Time Machine backup with the new Mountain Lion so that when i restore it back from my Time Machine backup after i get it back from repair, i won't have any issues with the migration, which could potentially lead me into more technicalities.
I have a 500GB Harddrive, with about 70GB left of free space....I did the initial backup prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, and it upgraded 400+GB of info, now, since Mountain Lion - the first backup with Mountain Lion initially said 46GB - then it went down to 14GB by the time it was all said and done....so what exactly did it back up?
Did it back up all the necessary files to keep Mountain Lion running smoothly when i restore it back to the way it was after i get it back? Did it not back everything up that it needs to? Is it safe to erase my internal drive and do a clean installation so i can take it in, and not worry about not being able to migrate things back over or applications not working correctly?
When i get it back, i presume it will come with Mountain Lion back on it and i can just boot up into the Recovery Disk and restore it from a Time Machine backup that way, correct?
Thanks for the help.
- JasonI received the same error and experienced the same issue that you have described but after performing a Time Capsule soft reset and then toggling the TM Off and then back On I was able issue a backup now and see my previous backups.
Here is the link to where I posted my fix; https://discussions.apple.com/message/19069543#19069543. Someone else had success using a different method. The only comment / complaint that I have since the ML OS X upgrade is that TM now takes at least 20 to 30 seconds before I can click/select a backup.
I hope this helps. -
My Epson R2880 will not print after upgrading to mountain lion. Epson Co. will not help and I can't find an Apple software update. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff

I lost my saved email file when I ugraded to Mountain Lion today. How can I get it back?? It has email messages dating back several years.
do you have a time machine backup or any other device that contains the emails you are now missing?
if so you can get them back that way. otherwise there isn't a way to retrieve them from the mac if they are nowhere on the HD.
also check on the email website to see if the messages are still there as well. -
Has anyone had a problem with their imac after the power company--in my case Pepco in Washington DC--installed "smart meters" which read the meter and transmit the data via wireless? I've had trouble and when I move the imac downstair it disappears. Help!
barryfromwashington wrote:
would putting up a metal shield by the meter help?
It might, as long as the shield is grounded. Metallic (such as copper) window screen is often sufficient.
As mentioned, it would not hurt to file a complaint. The burden of proper shielding should probably belong to Pepco. Among other things, the FCC frowns upon RF leakage and its interfereing with radio communications. Besides, Pepco probably would not want you to affix a shield around their gear - liability issues, etc.
You could experiment by temporarily hanging a shield-screen on the inside of the wall, behind where the meter transmitter device is located, and see if there is any beneficial change.
