HT4906 I have upgraded to mountain lion - why aren't my photos transferred from Iphone automatically

automatically from iphone?

First you must meet the necessary system requirements on both your Mac and Mobile device:
iCloud: System requirements
Mac
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
iPhoto ’11 version 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later (for Photo Stream)
Safari 6 or later (for iCloud.com, Bookmarks, and iCloud Tabs), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
iWork '09: Pages 4.3 or later, Number 2.3 or later, and Keynote 5.3 or later (for purchase from the Mac App Store)
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
iOS 6 or later
Next you need to setup iCloud on both devices by logging in to the same iCloud account and then enabling Photo Sharing as follows:
On your Mac:
On your iPhone, iPad:
And in iPhoto:
That should automatically import all of the photos taken on your mobile device into your iPhoto Library on your Mac.

HT201317 why aren't my photos transfered from my phone to my desktop

I followed the instructions on setting up ICloud on my device and PC, transfering from my photostream to my PC is not occurring. Any suggestions? Phone is locked, WIFI connected, and ICloud is logged on with my PC...no transfer is occurring..?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

TS4363 I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found. Any ideas?

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found in Preferences. Any ideas?
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.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects the reply to address.

Ok, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects just my main business email account, even if the email was sent to a completely different persoanl address. This use to work without issue in Lion. I have at least a half dozen accounts that all come into the "Global Inbox" and I never worried about what account I was replying from as it always matched the account the email was originally sent to.
Now in Mountain Lion, this is broken and no matter what email I select it defaults to my main account and I have to remember to manually select the proper reply address from the drop down menu. So far the only way to avoid this is the keep all the separate account Inboxes showing and then selecting the account that I want to view. Then when I repy it is to the correct address, but having to do this makes the "Global Inbox" view completely worthless! If I have to select teh correct Inbox to get the proper reply address every time then what is the point of having a Global View?
Why did you break this Apple?

Hello,
When you compose a message right click on the attachement and choose "View as Icon".
I know there was a Terminal command to set all attachements as icons by default but never tried it :
- You can also use the Terminal (in your Applications folder > Utilities) quit Mail, and type in the Terminal :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean yes
- To restore the original settings type :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean no
(source)
Hope this will help.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to retain my OS X Lion Install Thumbdrive?

I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I prefer to have a backup of my Install Application so I made a Bootable Tumbdrive of the Application (using Lion Diskmaker). I ran the Application as an uprade to the Lion installation on my computer (which was a clean install using the thumbdrive version of the Installer).
Planning ahead, if I need/want to do a complete re-install of Mountain Lion, do I need (with my current set of tools/packages) to retain the Lion Installer, run that first and then do an upgrade to Mountain Lion or is the application that I downloaded sufficient on its own.
Short version: does the Mountain Lion installer operate as a complete fresh install if you run it off a thumbdrive?
On a side note, does the Lion Installer Thumbdrive come complete with iLife applications (I understand they're not bundled in the Mountain Lion Installer)?
Thanks!

Yes if you create a ML install thumb drive you can install ML clean without any previous version of OS X installed on the system.
No neither Lion or Mountain Lion come with the iLife Apps. They are completely separate from the OS. To my knowledge there is no way to download and save them from the Mac App store. They are downloaded and installed as a Package from the MAS.
If your system came with Lion preinstalled then when you do a clean install of either you then have to go to the MAS, look in your Purchases area, and download/install those.
If by chance your Mac came with Snow Leopard Pre-Installed then there is also an Applications Reinstall DVD that came with your system. You would need to use that DVD to reinstall the iLife apps then update them with Software Update.

My gestures aren't working now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my gestures for Notifications, Launch Pad, Mission Control, ect.. aren't working. They worked the first day but have been pretty sporadic lately. Today and yesteryday none of the gestures have worked at all. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor and touch to click, but everything else is very much a no go. Checked the settings like a hundred times and verified they are all indeed turned on. NEVER had the problem in Lion.Thinking about a Genius Bar Appt, but am afraid they will magically work when I try to demonstrate the problem. As I've said, this has been mostly sporadic.
Thanks.

If you have the current version of iLife, you can download the latest iPhoto from here:
iPhoto 9.4.2
If not, you will have to buy iPhoto.

HT4906 I have just downloaded Mountain Lion but my iPhoto app cannot be launched as it says the original app cant be found. It takes me to where is says its located but its not there. What to do?

Reinstall it?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Since I have upgraded to mountain lion hhd cannot be mounted to my iMac. Either usb drives. What can I do?

After upgrading to mountail lion my imac can not mount hdd's or usb flash drives. What should I do?

Try this: in your Utilities folder launch Adobe Flash Player Install Manager and run it to completely uninstall Flash. Then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download Flash
Once downloaded, double-click to open it and run the installer. If you get a message saying the file can't be opened, or similar, Control+click or right click and select 'open' and should then be able to proceed to install it.

Why only my recent photos transferred from my icloud to my pc.

JUST SET UP ICLOUD. ONLY MY MOST RECENT PHOTOS DOWNLOADED FROM MY ICLOUD TO MY PC. WHY DID NOT ALL MY OLDER PHOTOS DOWNLOAD? HOW CAN I PHYSICALLY DOWNLOAD THEM. THANK YOU FOR ANYONE WHO CAN HELP....

Hello DIEPEVEEN860,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Photo Stream. It sounds like you just set it up on your computer and are only seeing the most recent pictures.
Photo Stream only stores photos from the last 30 days on the server, so when you set it up on a new device, you will only see pictures from the last 30 days:
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I am trying to upgrade Pages but it says there are no upgrades available

I am running Pages 4.1 and I can not get the upgrade to 4.2

If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update (which has been rolled into the Mac App Store in Mountation Lion) says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

HT4906 I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to put photos on the iCloud??

Using Photo Stream is the same as putting photos on iCloud? Not sure of the terminology?

PS is part of iCloud. PS requires iPhoto 9.2 or later. Other iCloud features have different requirements

Safari always crash in Lion and after upgrading to Mountain Lion,why?

i noticed that when i open a new tab,safari has stopped working and closed. things getting annoyed when i have a lot of tabs,and suddenly all are gone,please help

Reset Safari. Find the command under the bold "Safari" in the menu bar. "Remove all website data", then OK, and then quitting and re-launching Safari should do the trick.

My login widow shows both user account and system administrator account . how do i not show the root account on my MBP i have upgraded to mountain lion

I think you need to disable the root user assuming you have it enabled.
Navigate thus;
/Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility
...and then.....
