  • Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W won't connect

    Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W to print (worked fine via USB with Snow Leopard; I never had set it up wirelessly, though had wanted to do so.)  HP site said if printer worked with Snow Leopard nothing would need to be done; update of drivers would be automatic within Mountain Lion upgrade.  No such luck.  My Macbook Pro and HP Printer are not talking to each other.  HELP, please!
    I have a Macbook pro. 
    When I tried to print, I was told to get new drivers from HP.  HP site says what I wrote above, that I need do nothing if printer worked with Snow Leapord.  Also read that a new HP Laserjet would need to be connected only via Airprint.  So, I have deleted the printer from the print queue, thinking that might help, but I can't find how to install it via Airprint??  After deleting the printer and having no luck with connecting wirelessly, I tried plugging in USB from printer to MacBook pro, too, thinking maybe that would help, but there is no recognition at all.
    What am I missing???
    Thanks!

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

    stevie, a third party app called airparrot will give you the pretty much the same as mirroring and forks on Macs too old to mirror.

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and all my mail folders for storing all old emails are gone. How do I get them back?

    Buffzap,
    Make sure that you choose Mail>View>Show Mailbox List, then hover your cursor over one of the subordinate mailbox categories, and you should see "Show." Next click on "Show."

  • I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and when I turned around I noticed my Stickies were gone

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and when I turned around I noticed my Stickies with all my secret computer codes and passwords etc. were gone.  I think they are attached to the application and were replaced with the upgrade with a new version...n'es pas?

    Came here looking for a solution to this same problem and presume others will. 
    I found it somewhere else but just want to share the answer!
    go to the SPOTLIGHT search and type in Stickies.
    The app is still on your mac, it just doesn't show in the dock or the Launchpad.
    It opened and all my lovely notes appeared as they were in my Lion install.
    have a nice day!

  • I just installed Lion and I am using iCloud, but I can't figure out how to back up files from my MacBook using iCloud

  • I just upgraded to mountain lion and didn't realize that my quicken wasn't going to work.  How do I get that information back?

    I just upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and didn't realize that my Quicken wasn't going to work on it.  Now what do I do?  How can I get my info off of here to start with something new?  Anyone have any ideas?  That was the one thing I didn't backup before I did the upgrade.  Grrr.....

    mende1 is right, however, you have a chance of recovering your files.
    Open a new Finder window.
    Press COMMAND+G
    Type the following in the box: /Library/Application Support/Quicken
    Remember, I don't use Quicken, so that folder may not exist.
    If you really need it though, you could downgrade back to Lion (or whatever you were on before).
    Sorry for the trouble you are having.

  • Help!!! Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I have a kernel panic!

    Upgraded my MacBook Pro 15" from Lion to Mountain Lion and I get the following kernel panic at each restart:

    Ok, ressetting the PRAM did the trick for me. I should have read a similar thread about a kernel panic after installing Mountain Lion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/19020046#19020046) :-(
    It's now installing the OS. Crossing my fingers!

    Hi Anitra,
    Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
    Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
    If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library.

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my computer keeps freezing.  How to fix?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and nowmy computer keeps freezing.  How do I fix this?

    I know you have 10.8.4. I'm asking you to download and install a Combo updater. This is not the same updater used through the App Store when you simply upgraded from 10.8.3. And, before you do that I suggest you do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
