I have trouble installing mountain lion

hello
I can not install mountain lion, tells me that my disk is busy with time machine and no other to choose from, could help or tell me to do to install it?

Well, it's not so easy. You'd need to clone your disk as backup first using either
SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
You'll need another hard drive to do that. Do you have a hard drive large enough to clone your drive onto?

    I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks

    Something went wrong with your upgrade.
    Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard, I now can't open Photoshop?

    Hi everyone, I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard. The installation went smooth and woks well. Now I find that Ican't open either Photoshop CS or Microsoft Word. I upgraded in order to install Lightroom 5, obviously there is now an incompatability, is there a work around?

    If that is the original Photoshop CS, and Word 2004 or earlier, then they won't open because Lion and Mountain Lion do not support PowerPC apps. They must be Intel code. Snow Leopard could run them because it included Rosetta, a PowerPC to Intel (and back) interpreter.
    You have a few options.
    1) Go back to Snow Leopard.
    2) Update your apps to compatible versions.
    3) If you have Mountain Lion because newer apps require it then:
    a) Install Snow Leopard Server (currently being sold by Apple for $20) in a VM such as Parallels, and then run your PPC apps in the VM.
    b) Install Snow Leopard on a separate partition and boot to that version of OS X when you need to use those older apps.

  • I have recently installed Mountain Lion. How do I recover all my 'Apple Works 6' files?

    I have recently installed Mountain Lion. My computer tells me that it no longer supports Apple Works 6 files.
    How do I recover all my files that are in that format?

    Check out the following link.
    AppleWorks 6 users group.
    They have some conversion software and support there.

    Hope this helps.

  • Do I have to install Mountain Lion?

    I have a mac book 10.5.8 and I've been reading around here that to get mountain lion I have to go find snow leopard and then mountain lion. Is this something I need to be overly concerned with? I use google chrome and they have stopped supporting leopard with updates but it still works.

    Well, eventually you will need to, but it may be near impossible or more expensive in the future, I'd at the very least get a 10.6 Install Disc ASAP.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    It's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account, it may be free from Apple. 
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • Trouble installing mountain lion

    I tried upgrading my MacBook pro to mountain lion. After a few minutes I get an error message saying disk needs to be repaired. Can't seem to exit install screen. Only option is to restart. Working perfectly before trying to upgrade os. Any suggestions?

    @Bimmer,
    I knew that Office apps would look bad from the discussions I've seen on the MS forums. However, there is some display res that seems to work for Photoshop - 1680 x 1050?
    Keep me posted!

  • I am having trouble installing Mountain Lion.  Error says HD is not OSX Extended.

    I went into Disk Utility and it says my HD is OSX Extended. 

    Open Disk Utility and select the physical drive (not the volume)...  what is the partition map scheme?

  • Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

    Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
    I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank.  There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos".  There are no video clips in the editing window.  I have "Show: All Clips" selected.  I've tried "group events by disk". 
    When I have a Project open, it plays just fine.  There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing".  Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window.  So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible.  This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library. 
    I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library.  I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
    I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem.  For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem.  This didn't work for me. 
    I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician). 
    HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL:  After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have.  I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive.  So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine.  I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!!  I can't believe this. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Have you ever heard of this happening?  Could it have to do with the files I'm importing??? 
    I apologize if my language is confusing.  Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person!  I hope I've provided all the information you need.
    Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date.  Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • HT1750 I JUST INSTALLED MOUNTAIN LION OSX ON MY I MAC 27 AND NOW IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ADVANCE PAST THE STARTUP PAGE IT JUST CONTINUES TO RELOAD THE PAGE AS INFINITUM. HELP!!!

    I have just installed Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 on my Imac 27 and now on startup the page just continues to reload continueously and makes it imposible to access the system preferences app or anything else for that matter. initial startup is as before but stops at the facepage, mouse track pad and cursor keys are rendered useless as the arrow will not respond of even appear except for a millisecond occasionally.
    I'd appreciate any assistance with this problem and solution if it exsists.

    It appears you have a corrupt install. My first reaction would be to boot to the Recover Partition and then reinstall Mountain Lion. If you don't know how to boot from the Recovery Partition please visit Apples Advice letter that explains how located at:
    support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Hopefully you followed Apple's advice on backing up your system prior to upgrading.

  • Problems with App Store since installing Mountain Lion

    I have recently installed Mountain Lion and since then have been unable to use the App Store. When I launch it comes up with an error message stating 'App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store.Would you like to connect anyway?'  If you hit continue the application flashes black and white but goes no further. Has anyone else had this problem and what could be done about it.

    Yes at work and no at home but the problem occurs regardless of this

  • I have trouble installing OS X Mountain Lion, tells me that is not available. What happens

    I have trouble installing OS X Mountain Lion, tells me that is not available. What happens
    How: Restart my computer and install it, now I can not download the Mountain Lion. Help please

    At this point you must buy Mt Lion from the Apple online store. (In US, 1-800-MY-APPLE.) They will sell your a redemption code that another devision of Apple emails two you in two parts in 2 or 3 days. One email has a password for a locked pdf. The second email has the locked pdf which you have to use the password to open, it then has the redemption code.

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.
