No.  The items on your hard drive are not dependent on your Apple ID (documents in particular).

    i have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

    You send me an e-mail asking me to upgrade...begging me, pleading with me to upgrade.
    All for a mere $20 bucks. Oh, everything is going to be swell.
    And now I can't upgrade b/c my graphics card isn't supported?!?
    Well, now you have just annoyed me. And I am done with you.
    I have been with you since 1999. Ever since, you went Unix based. I thought I was loyal to you. And I am loyal to the company you were in 1999. T Now, you are just the largest company in the world, or close to it.

    First, you'll have to determine if your iMac can run Mountain Lion at all. See:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If it can - and it would have to be a mid-2007 model; no earlier iMac can run Mountain Lion - then you'll have to get the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. From there, assuming your system meets the rest of the system requirements, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

  • I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Hello,
    I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?  I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.
    I am American but live in Italy so have missed an update or two.  When I went to the Mac store in the States this summer they told me if I could work well with this outdated version, to leave as is as I had missed two updates. Now I need to I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.  I need at least 6.6.0 it says.

    Make sure your machine supports Snow Leopard requirements. The same with Mountain Lion if you want to move even further up the animal kingdom.

    have a late 2009 iMac with 2.66 Ghz process, or 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    You can upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I recommend you to upgrade to OS X Mavericks because it is the most recent version and it is free.
    Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you still want to use Mountain Lion, you can purchase it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.

  • Hi, Hi, Hi  I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard. The updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up. Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Then updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up.
    Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. 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.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • I am running leopard, can i upgrade to mountain lion?

    I am running leopard, can I upgrade to mountain lion?

    Going by your profile: iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)  your Mac does qualify for Mountain Lion. See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    But you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion. It's not necessary to upgrade to Lion first.
    Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store. You can purchase Snow Leopard by calling the Apple Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on 6-year old iMac?

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac which I bought in January 2007.  It has 1GB memory and 2.16 GHz processing speed.  Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion - or perhaps more importantly, should I?  Given the age of my iMac, would Mountain Lion be too much in terms of processing speed, etc?

    Probably not to Mountain Lion but to Lion, yes. However, you will need to increase memory to 2 or 3 GBs depending on what your specific model supports.
    But if you wish to run Mountain Lion you need a newer model.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac?

    Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac? The instructions say my computer is capable. Do I have to go through Lion or Snow Leopard first?

    nope you can go right from SL to ML.
    Message was edited by: shldr2thewheel--oh wait, you can't go from 10.5.8 right to 10.8 since you need access to the app store.  I thought you already had 10.6 installed.
