I have my download content code for the new Mountain Lion, and the printed instructions tell me to open the App Store select 'Redeem" in the quick links, enter my code. The problem is I cannot find the "Redeem" word in the quick links? Where and why does
How do I find the REDEEM word in the quick links section of the Mac App Store? In fact I cannot find the quick Links either?
Click the Featured tab, and look on the right hand side...

Hi guys..!!
I would like to know if someone could help on this:
I just have a HP printer (HP Designjet 100) and for some reason I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers in total 590MB to be able to use my printer in my mountain lion???
If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
ThanksIf you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help
hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

HT2020 Can I download iChat when I have the new mountain lion update?
I downloaded the new mountain lion, but I cannot figure out how to download iChat. Is it possible to download iChat?
Hi,
Most of the Major IM services (AIM, Jabber, MSN/Live and Yahoo) do not allow cross over.
i.e. you need and AIM account (Screen Name) to chat to other AIM Screen Names or a Jabber ID to talk to jabber Buddies and so on.
Apps such as AduimX and ProteusX have long had the ability at least for text chats to have all your Messaging Accounts in one app.
iChat was originally AIM only (well, in addition to Bonjour - then called Rendezvous)
In iChat 3 Jabber was added (a bit of work was needed to get GoogleTalk to work)
iChat 4 added a separate option to Add Google accounts as well as Jabber.
iChat 6 adds the Yahoo option.
At Messages 7 (numbers continue but the name changes) adds iMessages to the other four methods/Accounts.
Messages is an App that can allow you to access 4 external Services and one LAN Based one.
Much like Mail can access many external Email accounts.
Whereas emails are fairly standard that web based and App based version can read/display emails created in a multitude of apps the Messeging sdie of thinsg has never got that far.
Adium and Proteus have used Backward engineering in a lot of what they do to be able to join as many type of service as they do.
iMessages can be sent to iPhone Numbers (that have been registered (enabled on the iPhones) for iMessages) or to Apple IDs that may be in use on Macs running Messages or iPhones and other iOS devices that may be using Apple IDs or iPhone Numbers (as you can link them).
Bonjour can be sent to other Macs on your LAN that have iChat or Messages with the Bonjour account Enabled.
It takes your name from your Address Card and broadcasts this as your Buddy Name in their Buddy lists.
(you see their Address Book Name).
AIM does have it's own registration site.
However Apple originally made an Agreement with AIM when iChat started out and any Apple Issued ID is still valid (there are exceptions)
Any @mac.com whether Paid For Trial or a Lapsed account counts.
Any iCloud Issued @me.com and @icloud.com IDs work if you keep the Password to the 16 character AIM server limit.
Any MobileMe issued @me.com that has lapsed will not work.
These newer iCloud linked IDs can not be used in iChat 5 or earlier due to the way the later apps login and Check the password (you login to Apple AND AIM to confirm access to the password).
Jabber is a lose collection of separate severs that can be what is called Federated.
This allow Buddies from Other servers to be added to your list and fro your to be able to Contact them.
Google (with a Google Mail ID and Talk enabled in your Account settings) is a Jabber server
Facebook (Enable Chat and use the new Chat ID) is also a Jabber server.
This is the most extensive server list I know of.
It also highlight which sort of Transports a server may be using.
Transports offer a way of linking to other services within a Jabber account (Instructions)
Yahoo is text only within Messages and iChat 6
Whilst Yahoo themselves made an agreement with MSN that MSN/Live IDs could be used over the Yahoo network you cannot use one in The Yahoo option in Messages/iChat 6. It has to be a Yahoo registered ID.
Video
AIM and Jabber accounts can Video to other Macs running Messages or iChat (ver 3 and above for Jabber)
If you have enough Internet speed for Video then you can Audio Chat and Screen Share with these Accounts
Bonjour will also Audio Only or Video chat to those LAN based macs
Yahoo does not do Video.
iMessages will invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during a conversation.
It is fair to say that Google, Facebook and AIM all offer ways to now add Buddies from the Other Services.
It is best if you use the web based method to do this but they should appear in the Buddy lists.
If all your people were using iChat before you do not need to enable the iMessages account in Messages.
You can make do with the AIM (valid) Screen Name or Jabber ID that you were using before.
My Messages > Preferences > Account looks like this (Mavericks)
I have set an AIM account to a non identifiable pane.
The Window Menu list looks like this (see the General section on Unlinking them)
I used the Jabber.me server as it offered Transports that could then be used by other Jabber servers.
This meant I could add Buddies from MSN linked this way to my Google Buddy list.
I display the Buddy Lists all the time like in iChat and my Desktop looks like this
I hope this helps

I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed. Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?
Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine. Has anyone experienced this problem?
I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

I opened my account on the MacAir and have the new Mountain Lion showing i purchased. When I open my account on my other two machines it does not show. Any suggestions on why or how to fix?
iMac and Mac Pro
ThanksSADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much. -
I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?
I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?
If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?
Apple has not detailed Mountain Lion's requirements or how it will be made available, and probably won't until much closer to release. So we cannot answer your question at this time. Keep an eye on Apple's web pages for Mountain Lion as well as the many Apple-related news web sites and I'm sure you'll see the announcement when it comes.

I an one of many who were frustrated at the loss of visible keywords in iPhoto in Lion. Will the new Mountain Lion solve this problem?
I'm not sure whether we are quite talking about the same thing?
With iPhoto in OSX 10.4.11 all the keywords were visible in the iPhoto library. When I moved my photos to a computer with Lion I lost this feature, there was a lot of discussion at the time about this being a backward step by Apple. So I wondered whether the Mountain Lion version of iPhoto has restored this feature? -
I have a white macbook purchased early 2008. I'm updated to ver. 10.6.8 can I upgrade to the new mountain lion and will it operate?
It doesn't appear to be Mountain Lion compatible. See below.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
