HT4759 I cannot upgrade to mountain lion b.c. my Mac is too old; therefor no icloud. So, now, how can i sync up my devices?

My mac is too old for an upgrade to mountain lion. I tried from the app store and says it is not eligable, even though i have most recent snow leopard upgrade. My question then, is how do i sync up my devices? I put events on my calendar on my ipod, but they are not syncing with my imac calendar desktop. Please help!

Not a problem.
One last check ... read this list for applications that may not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
And make a good TM or clone (CarbonCopyCopy download for $40 or SuperDuper download for $30) in case you need to start over or decide to go back.

Cannot connect to Hover mail server unless I login to my webmail and then the messages magically load in Mail and then it goes offline again.

Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

No one here would have any information as to where the MacBook Pro was purchased.
Contact the person who gifted the Mac.

Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on 6-year old iMac?

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac which I bought in January 2007. It has 1GB memory and 2.16 GHz processing speed. Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion - or perhaps more importantly, should I? Given the age of my iMac, would Mountain Lion be too much in terms of processing speed, etc?

Probably not to Mountain Lion but to Lion, yes. However, you will need to increase memory to 2 or 3 GBs depending on what your specific model supports.
But if you wish to run Mountain Lion you need a newer model.
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.
Are my applications compatible?

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.

Cannot Upgrade to Mountain Lion - SMART Errors (Failing)

Hey everyone,
I received a 17" MB Pro as a gift in April 2011, until then I was a Windows user. I always kept the software up to date (currently running 10.6.8) and tried to minimize the amount of "junk" on the computer. The MB has been working incredibly until about a month or so ago. Programs would freeze which would lead to the whole computer freezing up and needing to get restarted. Then the next issue was that the computer would take almost 20 minutes to boot up, sometimes taking several attempts. I talked to a friend, who said that the OS probably needed to be upgraded. So, figuring it needs to get upgraded regardless, I purchased and downloaded Mountain Lion. I went to install it and got an error saying that it cannot be installed because of S.M.A.R.T. errors. Opened up Disk Utility, clicked on the HDD (TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF 750.16 GB) and the S.M.A.R.T. status reads "Failing". So, from what I've read, there is nothing else I can do to fix it and the HD needs to get replaced. I believe my computer is out of the warranty period and I do not believe there is Applecare for it.
Can someone confirm this true? What is the best replacement for my HD, the same Toshiba drive or something different? Does anyone have any step by step instructions for backing up and replacing the HD? I've read threads on getting a USB adapter for the new drive and doing a "Carbon Copy", but I just want to be sure.
I've backed up and reformatted PC's and laptops with Windows, so I'm not a complete moron when it comes to understanding technical stuff and performing detailed tasks. However, because this is uncharted territory for me, I just want to make sure all of my bases are covered.
Please let me know if you need any more info from my end.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I had to put the HD replacement on hold for a bit and now I have a new problem. It seems like the HD took a turn work the worse and now when the computer starts up (usually takes 10 minutes), Finder doesn't work and comes up in the force quit menu as "Not Responding" and will not "Relaunch". So my question is, when I upgrade to a new HD, are there any special steps I'll have to take to get all the info off the HD that is dying? Or just hook up and drag & drop? Any other advice?
Ouch!
Since you have experience backing up PC's, you have or have access to external drives. I'd advise backing up your drive to one ASAP. Since your MBP came with Snow Leopard (that 17" monitor is pretty cool, isn't it?), you should have the installation DVD. If you boot from the DVD, one of the utilities you'll have accessible is Disk Utility and you can use it to format the external for Mac with a GUID partition table. Then, you select your failing drive in the left panel and click the Restore button in the right panel. That drive will appear in the "Source" field and you can then drag you external to the Destination field. Click Restore and let it run. If the internal cooperates, you'll have a complete backup on the external, with whatever damaged parts, as dmdimon points out.
Once you have the new drive installed, install Snow Leopard from the DVD, and when Setup Assistant starts, you can choose what, if anything you want to transfer from the backup you've just made. This article goes into some detail on that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413#3 The advantage here is that the operating system will be a fresh install, not what may be scrambled on your current drive.

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but it's stuck at the reboot screen. What can I do?

I had been thinking about upgrading my macbook pro from snow leopard to mountain lion for months now and I finally decided to do it. I had already backed everything up and done everything to make sure I don't lose anything. The upgrade finished and I restarted my mac, it has been stuck on the start up screen. What can I do?

If it's truely stuck, force quit the machine by holding the power button. Then power back up. Do this only if you're confident in your backup.

Why didn't Apple make it clear that if you upgrade to Mountain Lion on an older Mac, and want mirroring to work you were out of luck ?

I read the requirements to install Mountain Lion. My system quilified, that is unless you wanted all the features to work. Mirroring is not a "Key" feature that will work on older iMAC machines. What a letdown for features I wanted to really work.

I feel really let down that my $2000+ i7 8gig MacBook Pro (mid 2010) can't mirror it's screen with AirPlay, but. $600 Mac mini (2011) can.
Really? Is wireless video *that* hard? I've been a long time Apple supporter, (1991) way before iAnything, and in those dark years up until now, I always made the point that Apple hardware had longevity. Of course my MacBook is still functional, built like a tank, and I'll get years out of it, but Apple dropping support for a top level machine so soon is unsettling.
I really, really wanted AirPlay, and bought Mountain Lion right away. It wasn't until later, while waiting for the download I noticed my beloved MacBook wasn't supported. Apple really should change their advertisements to make clear it's really only for brand new machines.

HT1338 Mountain Lion could not be installed because of no recovery back up.. HOW CAN I FIX

tried to install Mt. Lion and couldn't do so because I didn't have a recovery back-up. How can I rectify?

If your mac supports MTN Lion, you need to re-download MTN Lion and reinstall.
Did you try a command R boot>restore?
You might also try this post on the MTN Lion forum, someone there might have so tips.

I've attempted this on numerous occasions and always with the same outcome.
many thanks in advance.

I have a mini mac and my internet always disconnects after I updated to OSX Mountain Lion. I mostly disconnects when I skype or watch videos online. How can I fix this problem?

It always disconnects and I brought it in the apple store twice and still does not work.

Hi 'baltwo'
Thank you for your link, I already had been on this particular website this afternoon. they only discuss problems in the application and nothing about how the MS Office application installation does disturb Mac OS.
Or have I missed a special comment there?
In any case many thanks, trioloGo

I cannot set up an account because my mini-mac is too old. Why?

I am not able to set up my IPad and connect it with my Mini Mac Computer. What should I do next?

Cannot see items in my trash bin sice upgrading to mountain lion

cannot see deleted items in my trash bin,since upgrading to mountain lion,it seems to delete items straight away.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

HT4759 I want to be able to use my documents in iWork's on my iPad is it going to be possible if I upgrade to mountain lion

I am concerned to upgrade to mountain lion that I will not be able to use my documents on my iPad and my Mac 10.6 currently. I am reading that may not have some things I have now and have to keep upgrading apps. Mainly I do reports for work an want to be able to do them on my iPad as I am in my stores. From what I am reading I need to upgrade to mountain lion to do so

Well, if you really do have OSX 10.6, then you can't be using iCloud, since you need at least 10.4 (Lion). You can use either Lion or Mountain Lion, but the latter is better for what you want because saving Pages documents to icloud is automatic. It's a manual process using Lion (requiring you to log into icloud.com with a browser and dragging files to the iWork page).
To use pages or any of the other iWork file types, you have to have the corresponding iOS app, like Pages for iOS.

HT4759 I cannot upgrade to mountain lion b.c. my Mac is too old; therefor no icloud. So, now, how can i sync up my devices?
