I am considering installing the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion but am concerned by the number of users that have had severe problems. Has Apple sorted this out?

As I told you, you have to do some steps before upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, make a backup of your files using Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you make both, good, but if you only make one, it's OK, too.
OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications, so you have to check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com If you have to update an application, do it before upgrading, because the Mountain Lion installer moves unsupported applications to a separate folder.
After doing that, open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair permissions. Then, verify the disk to check if it's OK. If everything is right, just open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion

After updating my mac to the new operating system I have had several problems. Now my printer program is not working.
Do you have any suggestions?Start by telling us what printer you hope to use.
Look at the printer manufacturers site to see if they have a 10.9 print driver.
Assuming you have tried to delete & re-add the printer it's possible that the model is no longer supported.
You can also try the printing system reset…(I think 10.9 is the same as the Lion instructions).

If the model is supported you should be able to add it & the driver will be downloaded. -

I have 2009 early Imac installed with latest OS X Mountain Lion. But I can't find Ilife from my system. Normally Mountain Lion coming with Ilife loaded, it's true? But I can't find Ilife applications. Pls, advice me.
It is my understanding that iLife is not included with Mountain Lion, but with a new Mac... You only get it pre-installed as part of a hardware purchase.
I am not an expert, but hopefully someone else will be able to confirm this, and if correct it means you wil have to purchase iLife seperately from the Mac App Store.
Sorry!
Update: If you visit the online Apple store and start to order a new Mac, you will see that iLife is not included and can be added as an extra purchase.
You will have to purchase this seperatley.

In the evening when I put my mac air to sleep and turn it on in the morning it says it had a problem shutting down and had to restart again, so all my work is gone, and this is happening quite often now and I bought it in January. So shouldn't I use the sleep mode over night is that too long and causes it to crash? Or should I take it to a apple store for them to check it out?
Overnight isn't too long for sleep mode. I do it all of the time with no problem. However, I save everything first so I would not have the "all my work is gone" issue even if there was a problem. I would have it checked out.

Need stats on the number of computers that have installed Adobe Reader
Where can I find how many computers have installed Adobe Reader? I've searched but I can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to convince the PM for a project that we don't need an non-PDF version of a PDF file since Reader is almost universally installed. However, I can't find a solid number to report.
You probably won't get one either. Just wild guesses. This isn't something that Adobe would release as fas as I know.
If you want my wild guess, I'd say 95% of the computers in the US have Reader but again, I have no real information to base that number on. -
I just installed the latest version of iTunes on my windows 8 computer. I was trying to transfer an audiobook I downloaded through overdrive media console to my iPod nano. Overdrive says it was transferred successfully, but it is not in my iPod. I have had no problems transferring audiobooks until I downloaded this new version. Help!
I just realized that part of my post got cut off. There was a message that i could not connect to the Apple store (and my genius stopped running).

I have installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows 8 but when I try to open it, it says Windows has an error and I simply can't open it any longer. Any help is appreciated!

I have installed the latest version of iOS in my ipad but forgot to backup the content, what should i do!!! I don't want my media and other data erased, how can i find back all the data in my ipad? I haven't restore ipad yet, so any others way can be use? Now my ipad is in recovery mode.
Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

I have a macbook pro 17" 1,1 model (early 2006), but I do not have installation discs.
If I order a replacement, what version is it?
Can I install the latest version 10.8.4 in 1,1 model?
If it is possible, what I have to do to get it done? And the price?
ThanksMacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery -
# Question
Ever since I got the "new & improved" Firefox, I have had all kinds of problems the latest of which has left me without toolbars. How can I get back to the previous version? edit
IS THIS A GAME?
WHAT DETAILS DO YOU NEED?
THE COMPUTER HAS WORKED FINE
WITH THE OLD MOZILLA FIREFOX
FOR YEARS.
NO CHANGES HERE IN ANYTHING ELSE.Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>
* Fun Web Products Plugin<br><br>
* My Web Search<br><br>
Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
#Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
#In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''".<br><br>
#Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".
Just in case you weren't aware of it, you can right click the Back or Forward buttons to get a list of sites visited. If you'd like to see the return of the arrow on the Back button, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
Last but not least, some of your plugins are seriously out of date which exposes your system to exploits. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!
You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems. -
Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working. -
