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

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham
Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue! -
HT4906 i have i Photo 8.1.2. do i need to buy iPhoto 11 to photo stream through iCloud?
i have i Photo 8.1.2. do i need to buy iPhoto 11 to photo stream through iCloud?
Yes, and you need to be at lion level in the os.... AND you need to have an intel chip set greater than intel duo core to run lion. Don't make my mistake and buy iPhoto 11 only to discover I need to upgrade to lion (which I can't on both of my macs!)

I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?
To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

Post upgrade to Mountain Lion - no access and error with IPhoto
Hi, I work on MacBook Pro 17 inch with operating system OSX 10.8.1. Since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, I am unable to access IPhoto. Whenever I enter the programme through the icon, I receive start up message stating 'updating thumbnails'. After about 2 of minutes, it crashes and I receive error message as below. What do I need to do fully operational IPhoto?

I have just upgraded to mountain lion and now can not use iphoto how do I get to my photos?
iPhoto just has a no entry sign on it after up dating to mountain lion how do I now use iPhoto please?
Hi Anitra,
Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library. -
Hi! I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud and am attempting to turn on PhotoStream. I have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, so I think I need to upgrade to iPhoto '11. I'm reluctant to do this as I've read a ton of bad reviews written by people who have purchased the new version. Any suggestions? Is it worth it?
Obviously only you can decide what is "worth it". Millions and millions and millions of people use and like iPhoto '11. Some don't. If you want PhotoStream then you must upgrade to the minimum software levels

If i upgrade to mountain lion do i need to back up soft ware on my mac
if i upgrade to mountain lion do i need to back up soft ware on my mac
There’s a few things to do both before and when you upgrade:
1. Check the tech specs
Check out the tech specs for Mountain Lion and the list of supported models to make sure you can run it on your current system. If you are upgrading from Snow Leopard, you should also check out will my old apps work with Lion?.
2. Run Software Update
Make sure you have the latest version of everything by running
> Software Update
before you upgrade. This will help to cut down any compatibility problems when installing Mountain Lion.
3. Backup your current install
Without a doubt the biggest cause of trouble and frustration with every OS release is among users who didn’t backup their systems before trying to install the new one. Like Lion, Mountain Lion will be delivered as a download from the App Store, and while this method is certainly convenient, corrupted downloads are not uncommon. Moreover, even when the install proceeds as expected, you want to be able to get back to your previous system if you find things are not to your liking. An OS installation is like performing major surgery on your computer and the chances of complications are always a significant risk. As the old boy scout saying goes ‘Be Prepared’. Backup, backup, backup.
4. Remove everything from your Login Items.
For Lion users, that’s
> System Preferences…> Users & Groups | Login Items
If you’re upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, go to
> System Preferences…> Accounts | Login Items
There’s a couple of reasons for doing this, but mainly it’s to ensure that you can log in without difficulty. Login Items are one of the main causes of OS problems at the best of times, but with a major upgrade like this, you don’t want any incompatible software choking the system from booting up. See Step 8 below about re-activating your Login Items after the installation.
5. Be prepared for slow download times
Apple’s servers will be hotter than a forest fire on release day, so you can expect download times to be pretty poor. At the very least, connect your computer to your router via ethernet cable rather than wifi – that’ll at least help push things along a bit faster at your end. If you can do it from the office or somewhere else that has a lot more bandwidth than the usual home connection, do so.
6. Save the installer
After the download completes the installer will run automatically. Do NOT click ‘Install’, but instead quit it. Then go to your Applications folder and copy the ‘Install OS X Mountain Lion .app’ and save it to your Downloads folder or somewhere else. Then you can run the installer in your Applications folder.
The reason for doing this is that when you install Mountain Lion the Install app in your Applications folder will self-delete. If the install shouldn’t work for some reason the first time round, you won’t have to go through the whole tiresome wait of a download from the App store again if you save a copy to your Downloads folder.
7. Update 3rd-party apps
Assuming Mountain Lion boots up just fine, the first thing you’re going to want to do (after having a nose around, of course!) is update your 3rd party apps. Start off by opening the App store to see if any that you’ve sourced from there have updates waiting for you. After that, start up all the main apps that you normally use and use their ‘Check for Updates’ option (usually in the Apps main menu), or contact the developers through their websites.
8. Test your Login Items apps
In particular, you’re going to want to test out the apps that you want to put back in your Login Items, before you put them back in there. Run each app and play around with the system for a couple of hours before deciding to put it back in your Login Items list. If you notice any weird behaviour with Finder, the Dock or Desktop backgrounds, problems with wifi or graphics, chances are one or more of your 3rd party apps needs updating to work with Mountain Lion. If there is no update yet, stop using that app till one becomes available or find an alternative. In general, it’s always best to keep Login Items down to a bare minimum. Running apps at login is a sure fire way to slow down boot up times.

I've reset my PPAM before to get around Firmware lock, but I've upgraded to mountain lion and now need to do the same thing, but I can't reset the PRAM. I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do? Also, I can not get start up chimes unless I have the factory startup disk in. Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.

I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.
Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
Cancell both downloads anyway.
Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed, Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now. -
I just updated to Mountain Lion and now I notice on the side bar under "shared" an icon of a computer. It states that it is a memory card. What is this? I can't seem to open it. FYI: my wifi router is password protected. Thank you!
