I install mountain lion on my macbook pro late 2009 and freezing after waking up and is impossible restart
Restart your mac in Safe Mode by holding down the 'shift' key while it powers up. You'll know if you've entered Safe Mode correctly if you see a progress bar underneath the grey Apple logo screen. Let go of the shift key when you see that, wait for the progess bar to complete then log in.
After log in, go to
> System Preferences... Users & Groups and remove everything from the 'Login Items' tab.
If you have any anti-virus software installed (Sophos, F-Secure, VirusBarrier, Mackeeper) uninstall it while in Safe Mode.
Restart your mac normally and test.
Any improvement?

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
ThanksIt would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
- Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
- When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
Once again Thank you in advance.
Best.There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -

How many times can I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?
My Macbook pro came with lion pre-installed. However, I bought at a time that allowed me to update to mountain lion for free. Therefore, I wanted to know if I will have to pay to re-download mountain lion on my Macbook pro if I have to restore the system to its factory settings?
No, since you have already "purchased" (even if for free) 10.8 on the App Store with your AppleID, you own it, so you can reinstall as much as you want.

Is it possible to install Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro 2,1
I've heard it's possible to install Mountain Lion on several unsupported Mac models, but i was wondering if it's possible for the MacBook Pro 2,1 late 2006 model? Here's the link for the unsupported model

How to install Mountain Lion on New Macbook Pro from APPS
How can I install Mountain Lion into a VM on a New Macbook Pro running YOSEMITE from APPS
I have it in my apps purchased but It tells me the system is to New to download/run it
I have tried mounting my install ESD copy but it has the same Problem
I don't have another Mac
ThanksI think the problem is that you can't install an older OS X version onto a system running a newer OS X version. So I would try the following:
1. have an external disk or create another partition on an internal drive to use for the Mountain Lion install (you might have to shrink an existing partition to make room for another)
2. Create an external bootable USB thumb drive with the Mountain Lion OS on it (do a search on the web for this - for example see http://www.macworld.com/article/1167857/how_to_make_a_bootable_mountain_lion_ins tall_drive.html
3. Reboot Yosemite and then boot from the USB thumb drive by holding down the option key
4. run the mountain lion installer and install on the new disk/partition you created in step 1 - it will also create another recovery partition from this same part of the disk
Now your Mac system will have both a Mountain Lion install as well as the Yosemite install. You won't be able to use Migration Assistant to move things from Yosemite to Mountain Lion because it will see that you're "going backwards" and won't allow you to.
Have a good backup of everything before starting in case there are problems.
Good luck... -
How to install Mountain Lion on my macbook pro MB990LL/A 2009?
Hi,
I have a big problem here.. I saw on internet that many people have installed on they're macbook pro MB990LL/A an OS like Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion. This weekend, I've tried to install Snow Leopard, and when I've inserted the disc in my macbook, it said that the operating system was not supported by my computer.
I don't kow how to do, but I would like to install Mountain Lion or at least Snow leopard on it and I know that it's possible so if someone can help me with this, that would be great!!
Right now, i'm on leopard 10.5.8Confirm that you booted from the Snow Leopard Install DVD and that it is the retail version that you purchased directly from Apple.
If that does not work:
Boot your MacBook Pro normally, then download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo update. Then, shut down and attempt to install Snow Leopard again. -
I just downloaded and installed mountain lion but it kept snow leopard on my screen is that supposed to happen or did i miss something?
Then you're good to go. Updating your OS doesnt change your desktop background, you can do that manually, if you wish.

After months of failed attempts, I finally got mountain lion loaded on my macbook pro. Shortly thereafter I received an email saying my id had been used to access icloud. During the setup process, I unchecked the icloud box so I am not sure whether this is normal or has someone else using icloud with my id. I am pretty sure that I did not select iclout for set up.
Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Why can't I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?
It still works. I bought it in 2007. What will I have to give up?
Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," "More Info," "System Report," "Hardware," to identify your Mac. You need to have a MacBook Pro 3.1 as a minimum to support ML.
