I've upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion and now my screen resolution and mouse pointer are messed up.  My dock doesn't show up on the screen and the login is half off the screen on the right.  Only seeing the top left quadrant screen.

I have already tried changing the resolution in system preferences. It didn't do anything.

Please confirm what Mac this is - this is the iMac (Intel) community, but your profile says Mac Pro.
If the latter, provide some info about the monitor.

  • I can't sync iCal from my Mac (MBP) to my iPhone.  I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and I think that's when my iCal stopped syncing from MBP to iPhone.  Help please!

    Does anyone know how or correct this problem?  Before the Mountain Lion upgrad (from Snow Leapord) I didn't have this problem.  Now, my iCal on the phone seems locked or frozen, and any additions I make to my MBP do not sync to my iPhone.  Really frustrating!

    Well,  you can try this: right click the file, go down to encode file, and reencode it for the Mac.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition?

    Dear all,
    I know some one might have asked it but I just wanna re-confirm.
    Would the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion erase my Windows partition? I am currently using Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro (Late 2010 Version) and I do not have parallel desktop. I asked the same question when Lion was released, but HK Apple Store said YES and Melbourne Apple Store said no. I am a bit confused now.
    Thank you for answering. Cheers!

    Nothing.
    That said, you should ALWAYS have a backup as anything can happen at anytime.

  • Search in finder doesn't find my files in OS 10.8, upgrade from snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    after i upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion . when i try too search files on finder . it does not find any of them although all the files are still there .so i need scroll up and down for few minutes to find my file manually . what could be the problem ?? anyone can help me with this .. thanks in advance

    Hmm... didn't help me. But, I'm glad to know that I can "refresh" the search profiles. That may come in handy in the future.
    I'm having similar problems where I can see a file from within an application, but the file doesn't show up in a Finder search. The file I see in the application also isn't visible in that application's folder (where it's supposed to be stored, in this case).
    The file exists, because I'm able to work on it from within the application. However, it can't be found on the computer by any means I have available. I've spoken with the manufacturer of the software and they told me where to look for the file, but it isn't there (as far as I can see). Of course, they suggest the Finder is "broken" and needs to be fixed. I don't think that's the case. I can easily find other files without difficulty.
    Could what I'm looking for be a "hidden" file?

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion create problems within Premiere projects?

    I'm looking at the probability of upgrading from Mac OSX 10.6 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion).  I have to if I want to install or upgrade just about anything at this point.
    I was hoping to wait until the latest Premiere project was finished to avoid creating possible discrepancies between how the project plays back before and after the upgrade.  I'll skip the details and just say that it might be best if I do the upgrade now and install a new GPU to help with the massive amounts of rendering/playback needed.  Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion cause any likely problems?  No other Adobe apps are involved with this project.
    I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 and Adobe CS6.  I have two separate clone drives of my current boot disk as well as a Time Machine back up.  So I can go back if I really need to.  I'll also make sure the project is saved manually elsewhere.
    Thanks for any input!

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion: Airparrot stopped working

    Hello,
    I used airparrot on my appletv 3 and my <acbook (late 2008) to mirror my screen. However, I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and now suddenly, Airparrot cannot find my Appletv anymore, it continues saying: "searching for devices...".
    I already tried rebooting my macbook, disconnecting the electricity of the Appletv unit and removing the Airparrot app. All without result.
    Can someone please help me as this is the only functionality I use my AppleTV for... I want to cry.... I can't even remember why I wanted to upgrade to Mountain Lion except curiosity!
    Any insight is much appreciated.

    I don't use Air Parrot, so you should wait to talk to their tech support to see what they suggest before looking for an issue with OS X. I know nothing about using Airplay, but here's a bunch of help stuff:
    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

    How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • 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.

  • Do I need to update Bootcamp 3.3 after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion?

    Do I need to update Bootcamp 3.3 after upgrading directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion? If so, what is the recommended version for my machine?
    Other pros and cons we should consider? Not sure what is considered best practice.
    We have a mid-2011 iMac (12,1) running Win7 64bit. Concerned about firmware updates not being compatible with Bootcamp 3.3. Firmware updates forThunderbolt port were part of post-Mountain Lion updater install. Not sure what other firmware/boot changes might have been applied to support the new recovery partition, for example. Will the 3.3 windows control panel still work safely?
    Win7 still boots OK, at least for now. Backup is current.
    I'd like to get the entire machine current again. Bootcamp 5.0 didn't want to download (appeared to hang writing to my external drive, which is otherwise fine). Bootcamp 4.1 refused to install on Win7 (claimed it wasn't for my machine, so I aborted. Downloaded from apple support page directly).
    I've searched the forums for this specific question - I see plenty of info for upgrading Bootcamp 4 to 5, but nothing for 3 to 5.
    Thanks much in advance,
    -b

    Appreciate the quick response.
    There are basically 2 schools of thought here:
    - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    - Don't fall off the upgrade cycle (apply patches whether you have an issue or not in order to ward off trouble before it happens).
    I don't have a specific issue that I'm chasing on the Win7 side right now. I'm attempting to address having fallen off the upgrade cycle by staying on Snow Leopard too long.
    I appreciate that the Win7 side under bootcamp is its own thing (upgrades to Mac OS don't cross over or effect the bootcamp partition) - except where firmware upgrades coming out of Mountain Lion change the hardware interface to Win7. Hence my questions.
