I have OS 10.6.8 and I've recently downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.3)... when I try to install, it says that I need version 10.8 to continue... What do I do?
Open App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Locate the Mountain Lion installer, purchase Mountain Lion, then download it. It's a 4 GB file. You have downloaded an updater.
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 still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4. -
Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
Can I fix this problem?Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar? -
I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?
Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
Thanks for the quick reply! -
I have OSX 10.5.8. I want to download Pages & Numbers for that version. How do I get the correct version?
Buy an iWork 09 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

Current computer that I just bought used is operating on Leopard 10.5.8
I have Mountain Lion OS X CD installation files downloaded on my external hard drive from another Mac that I have owned.
How do I use my external HD to download and Install Mountain OS X wizard.
Is the only way to do this to buy a copy of snow leopard and then once upgrading to that, plug in my external HD and then access the Mtn install file as I would if I had the installation CD?
When I try to access the install file from my external HD, i get to the installation window and then when I am to select a hard drive to install it on I receuve a red exclamation mark error that says it can not be written to the HD. Why is this? Because I'm not on snow leopard but rather leopard?As you have the installer on a DVD, you can do a trick that consists in formatting the hard drive, and then, install Mountain Lion.
First, make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 I recommend Time Machine because it will be easier to restore your files later.
Then, insert the DVD with Mountain Lion and hold the C key while your Mac is starting, so you will see a window with different options. Open Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive.
After erasing the drive, you can install Mountain Lion. Close Disk Utility and install it. During the initial setup, it will ask you to restore your files, so plug the external drive with the backup and follow its steps. Note that PowerPC apps aren't compatible -
Is apple giving money back if you have Mountain Lion uninstalled?
Hi everyone,
My main question is if Apple will give me my money back for Mountain Lion and iPhoto11 if I have them uninstall them? I know it's only $35 total, but I am not paying them my hard earned money for a program that has ruined my computer and makes me not want to even use it.
Also, is the correctional update going to be free for people who already purchased Mountain Lion when they release it? Does anyone know when they plan to release it?
Thanks for reading and/or responding, in advance!
Here is the rather long complaint I registered with Apple if you are interested:
"Good day,
After downloading Mountain Lion (I will call it ML) and iPhoto11 2 days ago, I am experiencing non-stop problems on a 2010 macbook pro that I have NEVER had issues with. I downloaded ML initially after seeing in multiple locations that Apple was advertising speak-to-type app that allows you to do type papers/do homework simply by taking into your computer... Yea, they forgot to mention the app only lets you talk for 30 seconds and gets more than half of my words wrong. WHAT KIND OF PAPER CAN I WRITE IN 30 SECONDS?! False advertisement.
Anyhow, here is the list of my other issues:
- Photostream/iCloud for my pictures has stopped working after about 24 hours of doing fine.
- My "All Notes" list is not in sync with what comes up on my notepad. I click on one title and it pulls up a completely different note. This works fine on my phone though.
- Notes are not saving what I write on my phone; is only saving what gets typed in from my computer.
- Notes is sending 2 copies of some notes to my phone. If I delete the second copy, it comes right back when I refresh Notes.
- Anything that I open that has iCloud gives me a message saying whether I want to allow access to "imap.gmail.com." It gives me the options: always allow, allow and deny. No matter which I click this message continuously pops up on my screen, not accepting my entry. It won't go away.
- My email makes me retype my password when I open it, but only about 1/3 of the time. Sometimes it accepts my password and sometimes it does not. I am entering the same exact password...
- I set up my emails to appear in order by date. This does not save.
- My internet kept failing when I first installed ML. It hasn't failed recently but it is slow.
- Apps are loading very slow. The App Store will only load sometimes, and is very slow when it does decide to.
- My battery is draining much faster than it did with Snow Leopard (SL) and is also draining much faster than it says it will when I hover the icon. Right now it is at 29% and says 2 hours 5 minutes remaining. Eight minutes about it was at 36 percent and said over 3 hours remaining. Clearing not true.
Also, here is a list of things that are confusing and I have not been able to find an answer to on the forums:
- How do I view only one account on my email, so that I am able to see all of the folders under that account that I created?
- How can I organize my documents into folders?
- Why are the folders and documents I had in SL not appearing when I click on documents in finder?
- In finder, where it lists documents, applications, desktop, airdrop, ect. I used to have one called "katielubinski" (my name) on SL. That is where I stored all of my document folders and now on ML it is no longer there and I am unable to find my documents. What happened/what do I do instead?
Hence all of that, I want it uninstalled if you cannot fix ALL of these problems and I want my money back. I also want iPhoto11 uninstalled considering I only purchased it because it's the only version that works with iCloud... which has stopped working for my pictures and therefore makes iPhoto11 useless for me. I liked iPhoto09 better and didn't even want to "upgrade" from it. I don't like the new changes at all. Also, I expect that the correctional update you all are issuing is going to be free for those of us who have already purchases Mountain Lion? It better be.
I know it's not just me thanks to all the articles on the internet I have read. I also posted on facebook about this and had a non stop stream of messages and comments about issues my friends are facing... we all seem to have a unique variety. Hopefully that doesn't mean more problems are to come. I have talked to two people who said its working fine. Two out of eleven that I have spoke to... Good job, Apple.
Sincerely,
My Name"
So, yea... that's it. Haven't heard back from an actual human being, of course, so I plan on calling Apple Support today and also have an appointment at the Apple store about an hour away from me incase they can't help with everything over the phone. Wish me luck!Good luck!
While the majority of users are not seeing any major issues there are always a significant minority who run into problems.
Question is why? Is it something to do with software/system configuration prior to upgrading, the process going wrong or Mountain Lion bugs.
Now there are inevitably bugs in all software - the question is why are onlt some peopel affected.
Your real problem is that you can't simply downgrade to Lion or Snow Leopard without wiping your existing system.
Apple have refunded some users who have not been happy with certain aspects but I think they would be handling this on a case by case basis.
Personally, if in your situation I would ensure I had all my data backed up, reinstall the shipping OS, update it to current version and then try to install Mountain Lion again.
When computers play up sorting things like this out is a real chore.

I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP. HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' . Does anyone know how to do this?
HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture
(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway. -
I have Mountain Lion.. I also have Western Digital as my back external hard drive service. It is not compatible now. Is the Apple time capsule
likely a dead SATA bridge card, very common

Never again be in a position of a single backup of vital data. Ever.

Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD -
When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.
There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available. -
I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion. I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago. my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion? How do I check to see?
As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?
I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again -
I have mountain lion 10.8.4 and want to find how congested are channels 1-13 on my router. How do I do this please?
I'd suggest you get WiFi Explorer from the Mac App Store. For only $3.99 I find it well worth the cost for the ease of use and better info in relation to the built-in tools.

I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.
Thomas A Reed wrote:
You will be advised by people here that Sophos is "junk" and should be removed {...} Sophos actually works pretty well, in my testing, and so I would suspect that there may be an underlying problem with your file system that needs to be repaired.
FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.
