I upgraded to Mountain Lion.Now I have trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Why?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook. I am now having trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Does anyone know why or how to wake it up. I try tapping the space bar, trackpad & other keys. Sometimes I think it's never going to wake up.

I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

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:

Hi...I have this problem, everytime I want to print something out the mac asks me for the computer password...that is really becoming annoying after. That happened since I upgraded to mountain lion. How can I stop the computer from asking me that?

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
"Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion - now cannot write to ext. HD

I have a strange issue. Having recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion - I was first presented with an NTFS issue whereby my system would not mount or recognize any hard drive formatted NTFS. After some extensive research online, it was discovered that there was a conflict with two third party utilities / preference panes, namely, NTFS-3G, and Mac Fuse. I have deleted those two preferences and all associated files - they have been completely removed and uninstalled from my system. I now am able to mount and read NTFS drives, however, the one drive where I have been keeping all my movies / TV content, can now only be READ. In other words, I cannot copy files to it, nor can I create folders, etc. What happened that I can no longer write to this particular drive? I had no problems while I had Snow Leopard on my system, but now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion....something happened, and I want to fix it. Please help if you have anything useful for me.

If I upgrade to mountain lion do I have to buy the server again

I had lion server on my mac mini and I upgraded to mountain lion. Do I have to buy the server seperate?

Yes, depending on how recently you purchased the mac mini

When i upgrade to mountain lion, do i have to back up my computer or will all my stuff still be there after the upgrade?

Sorry i'm a moron, but i just want to know if i were to upgrade to mountain lion do i need to back-up all of my fles or will it just upgrade and transfer over. when i bought my imac i had it come with apps already installed and i dont want to lose them with an upgrade, but i am SO READY for an upgrade. any help or thoughts would be very appreciated..

You need to do both; the upgrade won't itself delete the files, but problems are likely to occur during it, and drives can fail.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion it's not possible to play videos in Fullscreen Mode

Hello everyone,
after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my iMac (27 inch, Mid 2011) I got the problem, that every video or movie in full-screen mode jiggles after a while. I'm using my Mac as a TV with Elgato EyeTV - and usualy I use it in full-screen mode.
A complete new installation from scratch didn't solve my problem.
If the problem occurs, the processor idles ans the hard-disk activity is low.
Is there anybody out there, who can help me?
Regards,
Stephan

If the issue only occurs when watching TV (using Elgato) then it's an issue on their side. Try a browser window and if can view the browser in full screen mode then that proves the point. You can also create another user account, log into that account and see if the issue is still there. If it disappears then you have an issue in your normal user account that needs to be tracked down. If the issue persists then your issue is global.

I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work. I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

2008 iMac upgraded to Mountain Lion now boots slowly?

We have an Early 2008 Aluminium iMac. 2.4 GHz Core2 Duo, regular HDD. I think it came with 1 GB of DDR2 RAM but we upgraded to 2 GB. It originally came with Leopard but we upgraded to Snow Leopard on short order. So everything was good, maybe when it was brand new it would be ready to use in 25-30 seconds and after four years it would usually boot and be ready to use in 30-45 seconds. Pretty quick, maybe due in part to a hard drive that was mostly empty (don't know if that matters).
But then when Mountain Lion came out, I wanted to upgrade. I swapped out the 2GB of RAM for 4GB, ran the installation tool, and that was that. However, ever since then, boot time takes at least twice as long. (Both takes longer to get to desktop and takes longer for desktop to be ready for me to launch apps.) I knew it uses a little extra RAM but I didn't think it should be so bad for performance. I've reset PRAM and repaired permissions and all that boring stuff already, but it doesn't help.
I suspect there is just something that could be fixed so it doesn't take so long, like some caching setting or something (I really have no idea what I'm talking about) or that if I do a fresh install it *should* go back to booting in 30 seconds. However I don't want to spend half a day reinstalling and restoring on a hunch. So what are your suggestions?
I also plan on upgrading to OS X Mavericks in the fall as it seems like it includes performance improvements (not sure if it'll matter for boot though). Might upgrading to Mavericks "fix" some messed up setting that slows down boot time? Or would it not make any difference? Or would I have to do a fresh install when I upgrade to Mavericks to avoid a slow boot time? Or should I just wait till I want to upgrade and then do the whole fresh install and restore files/apps/settings from my time machine backup (or better to do manually)?
I'd like to add also that I have a MacBook Pro with an SSD and 4GB DDR3 RAM that came with Lion, and doing the same kind of upgrade process to ML as I did on the iMac didn't effect boot time on the MacBook Pro (it's still about 15 seconds).

Hello Mac OS XP,
While your iMac is within the scope of supported machines for Mountain Lion, it is pretty far down the spectrum. Every new OS will require more resources than the one before it wether thats processor, RAM or graphics power. I would personally keep a machine like that on 10.6 Snow Leopard for best performance. Anyway, it cán handle Lion or Mountain lion but it will perform slower than it did under Snow Leopard.
That said, upgrading an OS that has been upgraded in the past and then skipping a version to the latest OS, there are usually some complications. There are a few things you can try to get some performance back but at this point i do recommend backing up your machine, re-format the drive, install a clean copy of Mountain lion and then restore your data.
You have tried the permissions repair which is always a good first step. (backup before you continue) Next restart your Mac, hold down the Option key as soon as you hear the startup chime and select your recovery partition as your startup disk when it pops up on the screen. From there, open disk utility and instead of repairing the permissions, run a Verify on your hard drive (and a Repair, if needed). Quit Disk Utility and the Recovery window and you can select your main partition as startup disk again and restart.
If repairs or modifications were made by Disk Utility, it may actually take even longer to start up now but that's just the first time, if you restart again you'll see if you actually gained performance.
If that did not work, i'd start over. You may spend more time trying to figure out and test different fixes than it would take to just re-install and enjoy a clean OS.
While Time Machine is an option, in this case i would Clone the drive with a utility like SuperDuper. Personal preference and when it comes to multiple OS upgrades etc. i find it more reliable than Time Machine which is pretty complex in it's own way. A benefit of a cloned drive is that it's bootable. If something goes wrong or your internal drive breaks in the future, you can start up from the clone drive and just keep on working (it'll be slow if it's a FireWire drive and even slower if it's USB but you'll be able to work and access your data).
Someone else may come along to suggest other things to try so if you are not in a hurry i'd give this post a little more time to be seen by others. I would make that clone or time machine backup, your choice, now though as most suggestions and recommendations you'll get are pretty invasive.

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:
panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff8000540a4f): Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 2"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1699.26.8/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3546
[IOBluetoothHCIController::setConfigState] calling registerService
Then the backtrace fllowed by:
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: init
Boot args: config="\OS X Ibstall Data\cpm.apple.Boot"
Mac OS version:

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

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!

Since my upgrade to mountain lion now my Italian language CDroms will not run, the message says PowerPC applications no longer supported.

So am I just screwed?

Here is a post that I assembled for another who needed to continue to run his PowerPC applications in Lion/Mt. Lion:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

Upgrading from snow leopard to mountain lion will i have trouble using my Pages and Iphoto since it's not the latest version

I am contemplating upgrading my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Currently, I don't have ICloud available on my computer. I also keep getting messages to upgrade my IPhoto to '11 version as well as Pages. I know, I'm behind, but my theory is if it isn't broke don't mess with it.
My concern is I don't want to lose my pictures and YES, I have backed up with Time Machine to an external hard drive. (I just hope that's good enough). IF I upgrade to start using ML OS, will I need to restore anything from my external hard drive or will I be able to start using computer as if nothing changed?
I know enough to be dangerous and I'm hesitant to upgrade for fear of losing everything. Would appreciate help. Thanks!

So it's alright to "skip" downloading the Lion version first? I can go directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion?
Correct, in fact, Lion is no longer directly available from the App Store.
Also, do I need to "empty my trash" before going forward?
No need.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion, now my login password doesn't work

Hello,
As the title says, I upgraded my iMac with Mountain Lion, and now my password doesn't work. I can't log in to the computer at all.
And no, I didn't forget it. It's been the same since I first got it (so an unfortunate hack on wireless wouldn't be out of the question...)
Suggestions? Solutions?
Thanks

I am using lion and wonder if I upgrade to mountain lion, will I have to purchase iWorks

Please, someone address this issue. I wonder if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, will my applications work such as iWorks '09.
I just purchased an iPad 2 and I understand that if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion that I will be able to integrete the two better.
Thanks so much for any input. I have spent hours trying to find out this information on FAQs, support questions etc. on Apple.ca and
frankly, I am getting very frustrated.
PS - I just purchased the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion not even a year ago and here I am again. Don't know what to do.
