HT4718 I have successfully upgraded to Mtn Lion on my Mac OS X10.8.3 Desk Top and am missing several Apps - such as IPhoto, IMovie, etc. What's up w/that?
I recently upgraded my Snow Leopard OS X to Mtn Lion, vers. 10.8.3 and all seems well, however, I seem to be missing several (many?) apps which I had before and which I believe came with my Mac OS X desktop when I purchased it in 2012. Most importantly, I'm missing IPhoto and IMovie. The "Apps" folder is certainly much smaller now than before and I don't seem to have provision to re-install my apps - several of which are absolutely essential.
I did go to the App Store, signed in and looked at my purchases. They did NOT include IMovie and IPhoto = which are absolutely essential to my use of this Mac - and the reason I purchased it in the first place.
If you have suggestions, please and give me some ideas. I am a 73 year old Disabled Veteran and def need help!
Thanks to one and all.

Since your Mac came with Snow Leopard preinstalled you will need to use the disks that came with it to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie with a custom install of the Installed Bundled software. You should have a disk similar to #3 in the screenshot (lower right hand corner).
Do a custom install of the iApps you need and apply the necessary updaters from the Apple Downloads web page.

iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?
At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
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 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?

Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise
Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise: how do I speed up my system?
Ok, so then we can proceed to determine what process is sucking up all CPU cycles. Have a look in Activity Monitor, sorting out processes by %CPU (click on the column label). Holler back if you need help identifying what each process is.
May also want to check out the items in the bottom pane for more clues:
In CPU, check out how much %User, %System and %Idle is the total CPU time being apportioned. On a personal computer, most should be in idle time (compared to a server). Note that people have reported that ML has a lot more background processes running than Lion did.
System memory will show how your 8GB are being used. In mine, free mem (green) is usually from a fourth to almost half of the total, unless I'm running heavy duty stuff like VMW Fusion and a VM or two. Check also the swapping activitu (page ins vs. page outs).
In Disk Activity, if you're doin' nothing, so should the drive; if something is pegging it, will need to find out who the culprit is.
Same for Network. Unles you're downloading multiple copies of the ML installer or othe such massive undertakings, traffic should be light unless some unknown is hogging the wire.
Hope this helps. -
Can I upgrade to mtn. lion from lion?

Mountain Lion and Mavericks have the same requirements. You might as well upgrade to Mavericks as it is newer, and unlike Mountain Lion, it's free. Check the requirements at http://apple.com/osx/specs.

Just bought my latest PBP a few weeks ago. I was told I could upgrade to Mtn Lion at no cost. To date, I've only received messages indicating I can upgrade for a minimal cost. What's the process for a free upgrade?
WalksthruIf you are indeed qualified, they are supposed to be sending you a coupon for a free upgrade. Rumors have it that the first round of coupons did not work at all, and the second round sent the wrong software.
So I suggest you be patient for another week and see what develops. -
I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. can I upgrade directly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks?
As long as your MacBook Pro is in the ML compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs it is compatible with Mavericks and you can go directly to Mavericks.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.
I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
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? -
trying to upgrade to OS lion; I am currently running OS X 10.6.8 and have downloaded version 10.7.4 when I go to install it alerts me that I need 10.7 ??
Of course. You need to purchase Lion from the App Store, not download one of the update packages.

I recently upgraded to Mtn Lion 10.8 and can't load any of the myst games: Myst, Riven, Exile,etc. Is there a patch needed?
BookCamp will not help
PowerPC is the processor that Apple used prior to switching to Intel. It is a very old version of Apple for which support has been dropped.
It is not Windows which is what BootCamp will allow you to install.

10.8 will "overwrite" your old system keeping your files and settings.

I have MacBook Pro with Mtn Lion. When cover is down, FaceTime will not ring the Mac from iPad. Can I set up to ring Mac
Well first, I must say "Yikes!!!" I didn't know anyone still used Word Perfect. That's an old school word processor right there... haha.
Okay, in all seriousnous, when saving your files in Word Perfect, use the Save As feature, and select a different format. Word Perfect's format is likely not going to be opened by any of the popular word processing software. I would try saving the document as RTF (rich text format), which is a universal standard across word processors. This way, you can open the document on your Mac, or any other machine.
Now, I'm also assuming that you have a word processor installed on your Mac. Right? Maybe Word? Maybe Pages? If you don't have a word processor, you'll need to get one. If you don't want to spend the $10 on Pages, consider downloading Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/download/). This will give you a free word processor that you can use on your Mac.
