I have a partition for OS Snow and for OS Lion

When i try to create a bootcamp partition it gives me this message
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

OK. Thanks. Now do I boot up from the partition on the external drive and then go to the Aps Store while in the partition and download it. Or do I go to the Aps Store from my internal hard drive in Snow Leopard and down load it and it lets me decide where to install it before it begins to install? I don't want to lose my SL on my main hard drive until I've made my decision?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

Is it possible to upgrade to lion or do I have to wait for mountain lion?

Is it possible to still upgrade to Lion or do I have to wait for Mountain Lion later in July? I currently have Snow Leopard and upgraded RAM to 4GB on an older iMac Core Duo in order to use iCloud features in Lion. Also, I'm wanting to upgrade iMovie and iPhoto, but I'm having difficulty finding a download link that will let me do it online without going through the App Store, and it says I need to be running 10.7. I feel like I'm in an "obsolete" double bind until I upgrade to Mountain Lion and it isn't possible yet. I'm wanting to use iMovie 8 or higher in order to download AVCHD video. I just bought a new camera that shoots AVCHD and I can't download any HD video, nor can I find any of my old video which used to be on iPhoto and would open w/ Quick Time. User friendly Mac is no longer so intuitive.

Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

HT1338 I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2?

I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2. I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

Do I have to partition for Windows as soon as I start my new MB Pro?

I have a new MacBook Pro coming tomorrow and want to partition for Windows. Do I have to do that right away or can I do later? I also have Parallel 6 Desktop coming in. Does that make any differecne before I start using my new Mac?!

You only need to partition for windows if you're using Bootcamp. If you're using Parallels than no partition is necessary.

When apple is going to have an update for mountain lion to fix the spinning wheel at start up and when a shut down my macbook pro 2011?

I bought a 2011 macbook pro after clean it up and reinstal Mountain lion, i did an update since then, whe i start up and shut down the computer gets a spinnin wheel which takes forever. I have read about this problem but i'm new at mac, and seem to be kind of complicated repair it. I'm wonder if anyone knows if apple is doing something to fix this? macbooks arent chip and i shouldnt go thru all the the time consuming to get it works how sopose to.
if some one knows anything or if there is anybody who can guide me step by step on how to fix this, i really will apreciate that.
thank you.

As cbs20 says...
Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

Bought a new mac last weekend do I have to pay for Mountain Lion

I bought a MacBook Air on Saturday but it didn't have Mountain Lion installed. Do I have to pay for an upgrade?

No, go to http://www.apple.com/osx and then Upgrade and go to the up-to-date program and register your purchase. You will receive an email with a redemption code to download ML for free.

HP still doesn't have Print drivers for Mountain Lion?

A couple of months ago, I upgraded my MBP (mid-2008; 2.4 GHZ) to Mountain Lion. I am now running OS X 10.8.2. Once I completed the upgrade, I discovered that I was unable to print to my networked HP Laser printer (It is an HP LaserJet P1606dn). The printer appears as one of the selectable printers, but there is a message stating that I need software from the manufacturer in order to print. So, I checked HPs website and discovered that the product is unsupported in Mountain Lion, but that "a software update is to be issued in Fall 2012". I just checked their website again, and here is what I found on the product support page:
Product Supported Soon in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
HP is committed to providing the best product experience for the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion operating system.
Today, a solution for your printer is not available for Mountain Lion. However, a driver update will be available in 2013 .
HP aspires to provide the most up-to-date information on HP drivers and software. Please check back for updates.
Has anyone found, or know of, a work-around for this issue? I have not been able to use this printer from my MBP since upgrading. Once I disovered this limitation, I defered upgrading our iMac to 10.8, so that I am able to print from at least one of our computers. Appreciate any solutions anybody may have found to this limitation. It seems unfathomable to me that HP could have a mainstream product like this NOT supported in 10.8, especially since the operating system has been on the market for many months. And to state that the driver will be "available in 2013" is grossly unacceptable. We'll be on 10.9 by the time they get around to updating their drivers for 10.8.

What does this mean? I have updated my platform from snow leopard to mountain lion and since then I keep having trouble with my macbook. It keeps shutting down without warnig

You don't say what type of Mac you are using. Does this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
apply to you?
If not, see this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and try a reset of your NVRAM. I see "NVRM read error" in your error listing near the top ...
If that doesn't help, try the Apple Hardware Test, which is on your original DVD that came with the Mac or can be run from the Recovery Disk (for a newer Mac).
Before taking your Mac in for service if none of the above works, try booting into safe mode to see if that helps. If it works ok in safe mode, you may have some incompatible software installed.

I have a problem with a snow leopard to mountain lion upgrade. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2007 I-Mac currently running snow leopard. My computer meets the requirements for RAM, available disk space, etc. to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I also have a new Mac Book Pro that I just updated the Mountain Lion software on. I have followed the steps outlined by Apple as follows.
To install OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on another Mac, open the Mac App Store, sign in to your account, and re-download the OS by selecting it in the Purchases list. Follow these steps:
Download Lion or Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store on one of your personal authorized Macs. The download is approximately 4 GB in size.
Install the OS.
Log in to another computer that you wish to install it on.
Open the Mac App Store. Enter your Apple ID and password that was used to download either Lion or Mountain Lion on the first computer.
Click the Purchased icon, then click the download link for the appropriate OS.
The problem I continue to have is that the program will act like it's going to download and will say it's downloading then after approximately 10 minutes the App Store no longer says the program is downloading and I again get the green box to "install app".
I have made sure to update my software and I have the latest updates 10.6.8 for snow leopard. I have also disabled the anti virus program. Any suggestions??

If you are willing to experiment:
Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
1. Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of
      around 8 GBs or more.
2. Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
3. From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target
      destination then begin the download.
4. At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click.
      Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the
      installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: (a.) yank
      the cable for the drive from the computer; (b.) pull the power on the computer -
      shut it down quickly.
This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
      the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
      list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
      button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
     drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

If I upgrade to Lion now will I still have to pay for Mountain Lion?

And if so - does it matter - as it may be a pre-requisit for upgrading in the summer?
I currently have snow leopard, but having recently added an iPad to the family - Lion appears to be a better fit.

Well, its gonna be priced seperately regardless to lion, but if you buy a new mac or macbook pro before a month of its release, you may be entilled for an upgrade for free. This is what apple did last year with new mac owners, otherwise we've to pay or mountain lion.

Do I have to pay for Mountain Lion, just bought Lion 2 days ago?

On July 1 I purchased Lion and haven't even gotten it installed yet and just read that Mountain Lion will be released in July. Will Apple offer a free update like they do for people who buy a Mac with Lion after June 11, 2012?
This is what the website says about purchasing a Mac with Lion
The OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date upgrade will be available at no additional charge from the Mac App Store to all customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.
Customers must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchasing their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the OS X Mountain Lion release date to make a request.
When Mountain Lion becomes available in July, come back to this page for details on how to request your copy of Mountain Lion.

I only bought Lion because my Address Book wouldn't sync after the end of MobileMe Saturday night.
Really Apple sent out notices about this happening for months. And has had Mountain Lion in the works for at least 4 months with notices all over the net that it will be released sometime this summer.
Simple answer is NO you will not be offered a free upgrade.
If you used your CC to purchase it call Apple and ask to return it or contact your CC company and dispute the charge.

What do I have to do to run Quicken and Word on Lion?

The most frequently used applications, Quicken and Word are no longer supported. I need those applications, how do I get it?

I've just received the Quicken version for Lion and it crashed on four of my five files. The 5th file didnot show all the quotes. I searched the web and found that the new version is having problems with the Quote file. I tried the suggestion from Intuit. See following URL.
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/quicken-mac-2007-for-lion-crashes-on-lion /SLN59495.html
With the above you loss all your security quotes and need to repopulate the data file. I suggest that you try the following process on a Snow Leopard system.
To avoid a corrupt Quote file perform the following before moving to Lion. This process will give the Lion version a fresh Quote file.
1. Start Quicken with you data file
2. Open File > Export > Selected Items to QIF...
3. Check only the box for Securities
4. Quick Quicken
5. Hold down the Control key and single-click (or right-click) your data file
6. Select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu
7. Control + click on the Quotes file, select Move to Trash
8. Start Quicken with you data file
9. Open File > Import > From QIF...
10. Quick Quicken
Now all my files run on the Lion version with all the quote values.

If I have already installed MS Office 2011 and have no more install license agreements and I install Lion will I have to purchase office again to reinstall?

If I have MS Office 2011 with no more install license agreements and I upgrade to Lion will I have to purchase new install copies of Office?

I didn't have to. Office '11 kept on working with no problems after I installed Lion.

I have a partition for OS Snow and for OS Lion
