I have upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to retain my OS X Lion Install Thumbdrive?
I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I prefer to have a backup of my Install Application so I made a Bootable Tumbdrive of the Application (using Lion Diskmaker). I ran the Application as an uprade to the Lion installation on my computer (which was a clean install using the thumbdrive version of the Installer).
Planning ahead, if I need/want to do a complete re-install of Mountain Lion, do I need (with my current set of tools/packages) to retain the Lion Installer, run that first and then do an upgrade to Mountain Lion or is the application that I downloaded sufficient on its own.
Short version: does the Mountain Lion installer operate as a complete fresh install if you run it off a thumbdrive?
On a side note, does the Lion Installer Thumbdrive come complete with iLife applications (I understand they're not bundled in the Mountain Lion Installer)?
Thanks!
Yes if you create a ML install thumb drive you can install ML clean without any previous version of OS X installed on the system.
No neither Lion or Mountain Lion come with the iLife Apps. They are completely separate from the OS. To my knowledge there is no way to download and save them from the Mac App store. They are downloaded and installed as a Package from the MAS.
If your system came with Lion preinstalled then when you do a clean install of either you then have to go to the MAS, look in your Purchases area, and download/install those.
If by chance your Mac came with Snow Leopard Pre-Installed then there is also an Applications Reinstall DVD that came with your system. You would need to use that DVD to reinstall the iLife apps then update them with Software Update.

Hi, can anybody help me please, i have upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, since then my Adobe flash player don't want to work.
I clicked on update and downloaded the update from Adobe and installed it.
Every time i get an error saying - "that this wasn't downloaded from App Store".
i can not find it in App Store.
What must i do?Try this: in your Utilities folder launch Adobe Flash Player Install Manager and run it to completely uninstall Flash. Then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download Flash
Once downloaded, double-click to open it and run the installer. If you get a message saying the file can't be opened, or similar, Control+click or right click and select 'open' and should then be able to proceed to install it. -
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.
Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software. -
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2 and the "Use Autodiscovery Service" checkbox can't be found in Preferences. Any ideas?
Cannot connect to Hover mail server unless I login to my webmail and then the messages magically load in Mail and then it goes offline again.Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off. -

My gestures aren't working now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion
Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my gestures for Notifications, Launch Pad, Mission Control, ect.. aren't working. They worked the first day but have been pretty sporadic lately. Today and yesteryday none of the gestures have worked at all. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor and touch to click, but everything else is very much a no go. Checked the settings like a hundred times and verified they are all indeed turned on. NEVER had the problem in Lion.Thinking about a Genius Bar Appt, but am afraid they will magically work when I try to demonstrate the problem. As I've said, this has been mostly sporadic.
Thanks.If you have the current version of iLife, you can download the latest iPhoto from here:
iPhoto 9.4.2
If not, you will have to buy iPhoto. -
I am running Pages 4.1 and I can not get the upgrade to 4.2
If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update (which has been rolled into the Mac App Store in Mountation Lion) says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

HT4906 I have upgraded to mountain lion - why aren't my photos transferred from Iphone automatically
automatically from iphone?
First you must meet the necessary system requirements on both your Mac and Mobile device:
iCloud: System requirements
Mac
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
iPhoto ’11 version 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later (for Photo Stream)
Safari 6 or later (for iCloud.com, Bookmarks, and iCloud Tabs), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
iWork '09: Pages 4.3 or later, Number 2.3 or later, and Keynote 5.3 or later (for purchase from the Mac App Store)
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
iOS 6 or later
Next you need to setup iCloud on both devices by logging in to the same iCloud account and then enabling Photo Sharing as follows:
On your Mac:
On your iPhone, iPad:
And in iPhoto:
That should automatically import all of the photos taken on your mobile device into your iPhoto Library on your Mac.

Navigate thus;

...and then.....

I have Windows 7 on my computer. I keep getting messages when I want to do various things on my computer which say that I only have a 32-bit version of ???? and I need to update to a 64-bit version of ??? I am not computer savvy and do not understand 32-bit version of what they are talking about; nor, do I know how to update to the 64-bit version. Are they referring to my web browser, or what? And, how do I update to the 64-bit version. Do I have to buy different software, or what? Someone, please help me with this. It happened again today when I wanted to update my Java plug-in. Said I was using 32-bit, so would have to install both 32 and 64-bit version. I am confused.
Firefox is currently only as a 32 bit application available.<br />
A 64 bit Firefox version requires all plugins to be 64 bit as well and not many plugins have a 64 bit version.
You shouldn't have any problem with running that 32 bit Firefox version on a 64 bit Windows platform. -
If I have 10.5.8 which operating system do I have? How do I do the next upgrade?
If you are running 10.5.8 then you have Leopard. The next step up will be Sbow Leopard ... providing your machine can accept it ... read the following.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
You can buy the disk from ... in the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In the UK … the last known price was £14.
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up any later updates. -
AFTER UPGRADING TO MOUNTAIN LION IMAC WON'T SHUT OFF
I have upgrade to mountain lion and update to 10.8.1 but it seems that sometimes (enough times to make me seek for help) safari won't respond . Moreover itunes refuses to turn its self off when I want to restart the computer. Any ideas what is going on with that upgrading that we have been waiting for so long and now is causing me troubles??
Thanks!As a matter of fact a few times. Usually i let the computer sleep and take it from there when i return.

I have been unable to stay connected to my server since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion. I went to my local Apple Store and was able to download the latest software. I could not do that at home as the download would freeze. I brought my mac-pro notebook home and the same problem persists. While trying to match my music, iTunes fails to stay connected to the internet, the circle going round and round forever. Anyone else with the same or similar problem?
Same here (iPhone 5S). And a friend of mine has the same problem on his iPhone 5. I just installed the newest iOS update (7.1.2) and the problem persists. Although it seems to affect several people yet I can't find anything related to this on the web. If I really want deliberately to trigger the problem I just need to delete a song from the music app and the message will pop up for sure. I am also somewhat reluctant to do a full restore because frankly I expect the same outcome as the thread starter. So hopefully Apple will fix this soon. The main reason for me to buy a $ 800+ phone is to have a device that 'just works' but apparently that's long gone since iOS 7...
