After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occasionally lock-ups.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occassionaly locks up while using Safari, Mail or Dreamweaver and I have to d a force-quit, then restart my Mac. Anybody having similar probelms?
I am thinking about doing a clean install of Mountain Lion. Would I be able to restore my applications and data from Time Machine after the re-install?My 24 inch iMac... 2.8 GHZ dual core (Early 2008) is having the same problem. After it sleeps, I go to use something... and the beachball of death occurs. This happens multiple times a day... and let me tell you... it is annoying... and I am the one who is being annoyed!
It could possibly be revolving around safari... as that is really the only thing that is running consistently. I don't use iTunes on this iMac as I have so many other Macs up and running in the house... and I never consume media on it... so I kind of dismiss iTunes being the culprit.
This is majorly affecting my Mac... in terms of reliability and uptime... which coincedently is the main reason why I switched to Mac in 2008. This is my only Mac that could upgrade to ML... so I don't know how widespread this is... but I hope that this problem can be solved...
I agree with another person who commented on this issue... do we really need a 10.8.1 update already... to fix this? -
IMac late 2006, OSX Lion 10.7.5 upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8
I am running OSX Lion 10.7.5 on a late 2006 iMac with Intel.
Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8?
If so where do I find the download for the upgrade?
Thanks.thanks MichelPM. I appreciate the prompt reply.
shocked...
The upgrade and support on a Mac product should go back as far as10 years.
The products are so good. -
I just upgraded my iMac to Lion, and a few seconds ago, I upgraded the iWork package and now I'm having some problems with the new version of Pages (4.1) When I try to change something in a document, a message says "the program is not responding", so I have to force it to close.

Upgraded my Imac to Mt. Lion and now the Microsoft Office icons will not open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, or ENTOURAGE. I just pruchased on Ebay
OFFICE 2011 since my old version was 2004. DO I REMOVE THE OLD ICONS BEFORE LOADING OFFICE 2011 RO AFTER I LOAD IT???
THANKS, DR PEPPERMINTOffice 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
After upgrading to Mountain Lion my 2009 (early 2010) iMac mutes audio when awaking or when it goes to sleep. Anybody else having the problem? My other iMacs are not having that problem. I'm not sure if I am missing an option somewhere or what is going on.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Safari on my iMac and my MBA is showing mobile websites
While using the Safari browser on my iMac today, I was redirected to the mobile version of a website repeatedly. Just to see if it was something specific to my iMac, I tried the same website on my MBA and it did the same thing. Both have been upgraded to Mountain Lion. The website in specific is the www.audiusa.com website and I clicked on the Q5 link at the top. Can someone else please try this and let me know what happens? Also, if anyone has any ideas how to prevent this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SteveI get the same thing. It works on other versions of Safari. I spoke to Audi USA today and the lady there was very emphatic that it must work as it works on her Mac at home. I asked if she had upgraded to Mountain Lion and she said no.
So it would appear that Audi website logic is something along the lines of - if safari browser variant unknown then assume mobile.
Audi USA lady noted my input. I did not get the impression that she believed me. -
How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.
Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem. -
I have two IMac computers. Both running the latest version on Snow Leopard. To upgrade to Lion, do I need to purchase two upgrades or can I use one purchase for bo†h computers?
Thanks,
AliceAs I understand the as yet unconfirmed rumor by me, is that once you pay for a single copy of Lion, every computer you have that's authorized under your Apple ID can download it, no limit on number.

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?
Steve DriggersHi sddmd,
And you have checked her Junk mail folder?
Cheers,

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.

Is this a "safe" way to upgrade to lion and transfer apps/data to new imac?
I have an older imac running 10.6.8 and I am considering buying a new one.
I read a link with guidleines to upgrade to lion. My question is:
After upgrading to lion, I am going to buy a new imac and want to move to the new imac with the least inconvenience. I have a lot of music app/usb interfaces so the time to reconfigure everything would be very time consuming.
So is the "safe" way to do it?
Do a time machine backup of current configuration.
Follow the link I saw outlining upgrading from 10.6.8 to lion on my current imac.
Get everything working again on the current imac with mountain lion.
Do a time machine backup of the lion configuration.
Get the new imac and on first boot, elect to restore from the time machine backup wiping out what came installed on the new imac.
Another time machine backup on the new imac.
I should be done?
or is there a better /safer way?
I have been putting this off for almost year because of the number of apps I am running and devices I have connected. a short list.
file servers off firewire 800 and 400 ( I know I will need the thunderbolt to firewire adapters).
approx 12-18 usb devices all connected either directly or daisy chained through usb controllers connected to usb controllers.
about 10 external USB drives.
vmware
midi interfaces for piano/guitar.
m-audio fast track ultra
multiple DVD/blu-ray reader/writers
Hence my concern for a smooth transition
thanks in advance.There is really no need to update the older iMac running 10.6 to Lion, especially if you have multiple backups of your User Data. You can easliy move or migrate data from any one of your External HDs or Server to the new iMac.
As for your current iMac:
If you plan on selling the older iMac, Lion is not transferable and you will want to sell it with a clean install of 10.6 and let the new owner upgrade.
If you plan on keeping the older iMac around for others to use and it supports Mountain Lion, then in my humble opinion Mountain Lion is the better upgrade.
As for your other devices:
• Yes, Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter
• Yes, external USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices are backwards compatible
• Sorry, I don't use vmware
• Sorry, I don't use midi interfaces
• Sorry, I don't use m-audio
• Yes, my external DVD drives work with various Mac's running 10.6 thru 10.8
Sorry I can't better answer your Audio questions. If no one else comes along with the answers here, then you might try starting another ASC question focused on those transitions. -
Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007. Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8. When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB. How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?
Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation. -
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. -
I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck
