I was updating to mountain lion when it stopped the installation and marked an error in the disk, now the computer does not work....what can i do?!
Also the computer does not find the HD since it marked the error.
I need a way to either reinstall OS Lion or to complete the installation of Mountain Lion successfully.
Depending on what OS the computer had on it, either boot into the Recovery Volume using command - R or by holding down the option key and selecting the Recovery Volume. If the computer was using pre-Lion OS, boot from the disks that came with the computer.
Run Disk Utility and see if you can repair the hard drive. Also try Repairing Permissions. If successful, try a normal restart.

hi my bluetooth cannot see the other bluetooth devices. When it is picked up by a different device tries to pair with it but the pairing does not occur. what can I do apart from throwing this **** thing in the bin?
It isn't supposed to pair with the MacBook. You can use WiFi to connect but not Bluetooth. You can setup a personal HotSpot on the iPhone and connect the MacBook, or setup the MacBook AirPort to create a network and attach the iPhone, and use the USB cable to connect the iPhone to the MacBook for syncing and backup purposes.
The communications are rather limited. -
I need help because Mountain lion downloads but when it gets to 156mb, itss calculating and then an error has occurred. What is the problem
Are you getting an error code?
Try resetting the App Store.
Reset Learned from Old Toad
If that doesn't work:
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won’t charge you again. -
Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice. Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time. Under Login Options, I clicked out "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password". Can't remember whether I did anything else. I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change. I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids. I clicked on any one and nothing happens. IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook. There must be a way to fix this problem. I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter. Please help!First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

I am considering updating to Mountain Lion. Have checked the Roar website for compatability with my existing software; some are OK, but Bridge and Picasa said to yet be tested for compatability. When will this happen?

This mini is operating OSX 10.6.8 and trying to update to Mountain Lion but upgrade stops and a black overscreen displays saying to power off and power on. The upgrade fails. What's the problem?
Hi Fred,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -

1. Since you "upgraded" to Mountain Lion (presumably from Snow Leopard) partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard and use the "dual-boot" method to access Microsoft Office 2004 when needed; or
2. Install Snow Leopard Server ($20 by telephone order only from Apple) into Parallels 8 and have concurrent access to Microsoft Entourage 2004 while in Mountain Lion:
[click on image to enlarge]
You can then access your emails in Entourage and either continue to use Entourage, or export/import them into Microsoft Outlook 2011, Apple's OS X Mail, Mozilla's Thunderbird, or otherwise. -
OS is Mountain Lion, upgraded no problems, used an external Hard drive for my time machine, now my iPhoto will not show any of my photo's or ay new ones I import! Help please!!
Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

If in my Hardware section of System Information, when I select Thunderbolt and the reply is:
Thunderbolt: No hardware was found,
does that mean the computer does not contain Thunderbolt or that no Device using Thunderbolt is attached and that the computer does have thunderbolt?
I have Lion and both my Mini Server and Macbook Pro are less than a year old, however both were bought from Apple as reconditioned units so they might be older, and I expected they would have Thunderbolt but when I connect a Black Magic Intensity Extreme unit which is a thunderbolt powered and driven Device using a Thunderbolt Cable to either computer, it is not recognized.No other information in Sys Info and I guess as both units, Mini and MBPro, were reconditioned, they were pre July and February , 2011, respectively.
I don't suppose there is any way to add Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 to prior generation Mac Products or get similar performance. -
i tried to install an update of my ios via itunes and my phone was totally cleared. right now im trying to activate it again, its not working. what can i do?
You will need to restore the software via the following procedure:
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings. -
I was trying to sync and update my phone with ITunes, about 5 minutes into the process everything stopped. Now the phone does not work, it will not turn on or off, the screen of the phone shows the Apple Logo and a straight line. ITunes seems to not "see" the phone. Suggestions??
