You can open any document in this manner; however, you are confusing the purpose of "Rosetta." This feature does not open documents directly, but instead allows old programs to run that otherwise would not be able to on modern Macs.
Starting in OS X 10.7, Rosetta is no longer included in OS X, so old programs that have not been updated will not run. Therefore if a document you have can only be read by one of these old programs, then you will not be able to read it.
However, you can still right-click the document and use the Open With menu, and if a program is available that can read the document then it should be an option in the menu.

I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

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 email. I can't seem to purchase this on-line

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.

External display not recognised in Mountain Lion OS

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW which I wanted to set up as extended display for my new bought Macbook Air.
I am running the latest Mountain Lion OS including the last updates.
When attached the monitor with an Apple miniDisplay port to DVI adapter it is not recognised, nor showing up in the System Preferences - displays menu.
Any help is appreciated - thanks!

If the system is from Dec. 2011 it either came with DVD discs to reinstall the original shipping version of OS X or it came with Lion preinstalled.
If Lion then you use the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion, No Password needed. To boot to the Online system at startup hold downn the Option/Alt + Command + r keys and hold them down until you see a globe on the screen. From the Mac OS X Utilities screen that comes up use Disk Utility to partition the drive as one partition, Formatted Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) with a Partition table of GUID (That is an option under the Options button). Then click the Apply button. Once that is done exit DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X.
If it came with system Reinstall discs you have to use those to reinstall OS X and the iLife apps then you can use the Mac App Store to upgrade to Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks. Whichever version you bought from the App store perviously or Mavericks for free.

Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

Did you try turning off power nap?

How am i going to downgrade my operating system? i am using os x mavericks right now and i want to downgrade to os x mountain lion

i`m afraid i might lose any file or application from os x mountain lion that is why i wanted to go back to 10.8.5 and stop using 10.9.2.
i dont want to lose any file or move them to any places, what should i do now??

In order to downgrade you must erase the drive, then install the version of OS X that came with your computer. If that is not Mountain Lion, then you will have to re-download Mountain Lion in order to install it. To do that will require repurchasing the code to download Mountain Lion because it is no longer available from Apple.
It would be much easier to resolve what problems you think you have with Mavericks.

Apple apps not displaying properly in virtual Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have 13" MacBook Pro 2.4 that came with Snow Leopard. I have found that it does not perform really well with Mountain Lion (although 8GB RAM and 7200rpm HD) so I decided to switch back to SL. I also own Parallels and it lets me use the ML download image to set up a new virtual os, which I can then use to run iBooks Author.
However, iBooks Author and iWork apps do not render in virtual ML. In the attached screenshots, you can see that the interface is there, but the content of the application is not showing up. Other applications like Safari perform just fine. So far, only iBA and iWork apps are affected.(Screenshots are from Parallels so they are of the virtual os)
I know this is a virtual ML issue cause I have ML on a separate partition that works just fine when booted into it. I am assuming this is a graphic card specific issue, where Parallels is unable to match the hardware graphics exactly.
I'd be happy to receive your comments and feedback to find a remedy to this situation, as I do not want to switch between partitions just to use iBooks Author.
Best regards

This issue extends to other Apple apps like Preview, which will not render when run in virtualization. I use Snow Leopard virtualized in Lion and I always make sure I use Preview in Lion and not virtualized Snow Leopard.
I believe this issue is discussed on the Parallels support forum, but with no satisfactory solution for now...
They may also balk at offering you support as they do not officially support virtualizing Mt. Lion in Parallels in Snow Leopard. I may have raised the issue on their support forum suggesting the problem was in virtualizing Snow Leopard Server in Lion, which they do officially support.
Try a search of the Parallels Support forum...
You could partition your hard drive and install Mountain Lion in that partition (or use an external hard drive) and use the "dual-boot" method as a workaround to your problem. Of course, in this situation, you lose the ability to run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion concurrently.
Finally, you could reinstall Mt. Lion and then run Snow Leopard in Parallels, but it seems from your comments that this suggestion will not work for you. This solution is primarily for those Lion/Mt. Lion users who need concurrent use of PowerPC applications requiring Rosetta:

I have an earlier model imac, the 2006 24inch and im running mac os x 10.5.8, i want to update my system to the newest mountain lion, what should i do first?

To clarify;
Snow Leopard 10.6;
Lion 10.7:
Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.

Cinema HD Display 23" problem with Mountain Lion

I have a MacBookPro 13 Late 2011 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory normally connected to a Cinema HD Display 23". I had no problem when running Lion but right after installing Mountain Lion, the Display goes wrong and nothing works properly, need to force shut down the mac. Any idea how to resolve this?

Here's two interesting articles:
Effects of Humidity on an LCD TV
How Does Temperature Affect LCD Displays on Calculators?
Perhaps the effects are (more) noticible around the edge because its, well, the edge. Just a thought.

Auto-detect displays not working in mountain lion

I keep a VGA projector connected to my laptop and Mountain Lion seems to believe that it is on all the time. Thus, I'm stuck with windows off screen. Anyone discover any fixes? No menu bar monitor ajustment preferences appear, nor does detect displays work through system preferences. I have a late 2008 macbook pro 17" with a DVI to VGA adaptor. Thanks

In System Preferences > Displays > Gather Windows.
You could also switch to mirror mode by Pressing CMD F1 to reclaim or end tasks then press it again to return to extended desktop mode.
