AHH. Windows gone after mountain lion upgrade?

Hi!
I have a late 2011 model MBP. And i had the dual boot option with windows 8 (release preview) installed. On Thursday (4 days ago) i upgraded OSX to mountain lion. But just today i had the necessity to back to windows, and the option is not there anymore... when i boot up my mac and press the "option key" the only hard drives i get are the "macintosh HD" and the "recovery 10.8".
What happened to Windows?
I tried using boot camp to "remove windows 7" but after hours of "partitioning the Macintosh HD" i gave up and quit the application. All i wanted to do was remove windows completely and re-install it via boot camp again.
Now i am windows-less. HELP!!!
Do i have an option of going back in time (kind of like system restore on windows) and going back to OSX lion? all i want is to go back 4 days ago when things were working fine.
oh no... something tells me i'm gonna have to erase everything on my mac and start all over again

Hi "thiememd" Unfortunately, i couldn't find a way to keep Windows on my mac so i erased the entire partition (without bootcamp) by following the steps in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8wdy5qW8Z8
Luckily, i had done a back up on windows b4 mountain lion screwed me over. so now all i'm gonna do is re install windows once again.

IMovie and Garage Band gone after Mountain Lion upgrade.

I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion by buying it in the itunes store and uploading it. Now, imovie and garage band are gone. I have nothing in My Purchases, as these came with my mac when I bought it, and I don't think I have a cd. Can I get these back without buying new?

As shldr said, iLife applications (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb) came preinstalled on your Mac, so if you made a clean install of Mac OS X, they were deleted because Mac OS X doesn't include iLife apps.
In order to install the iLife applications again, you need the Applications DVD that came with your Mac, so insert it and follow the steps to install your iLife applications. If you haven't got the DVD, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After installing the applications, open Apple menu > Software Update to install the most recent version

Midi in Safari gone after Mountain Lion update

I have a site that relies on midi files being played in the browser. Right up until before I upgraded to Mountain Lion I was able to play files with the .mid extension, now they just download instead or if embedded give me the 'missing plugin' message.
I have checked my installed plugins and I have quicktime 7.7.1 which doesn't list .mid as a supported extension anymore.
I can play .mid files through the QT 7 player which lists itself as Version 7.6.6 (1709) but under this is Quicktime 7.7.1 (2599).
So I don't know if the player is using something other than 7.7.1 or not. If it was just stock standard 7.7.1 then why has my .mid files stopped being played in the browser?
Is .mid support really being dropped if so does anyone know of a plugin to get back midi playback?
Regards

Well - here from Denmark.
Vi also need midi in our browsers.
A simple yes or no to the question - Will it ever come back to Mac?
Other vise we are going back to PCs in the future.
Thanks

Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.

Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.

Try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Slow internet after mountain lion download

web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service. At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine. I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed? Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet. This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion. Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
Please, help me.

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works! ;-)

Macbook sluggush / freezes after Mountain Lion

I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in late Fall of 2010.
I've read several posts on here about computers locking up after Mountain Lion upgrade. But most of those issues involved the computer completely locking up. In my case I get the spinning wheel of death, but the trackpad is still responsive. I can "Force Quit" the open programs (usually) but it is very sluggish. It boots slow and shuts down really slowly. The sluggishness is intermitent thought and I can't put my finger on what is happening. It reminds me of my old PC days when you would get a virus.
Can you point me in the right direction for diagnosis that I can run myself?
Or do I need to head to the Genius bar?
What has changed in my usage lately?
Essentailly the same type of usage since I purchased the machine. Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, Chrome, Safari and Mail.
I recently "upgraded" to Mountain Lion from the app store a few days after it became available.
To my knowledge, all updates have been installed.
My Macbook has been running really hot (too hot to sit directly on your lap when wearing shots). This happened prior to my upgrade and I took it to the Apple store and they essentially told me not to worry about it. They ran some tests and said things looked fine.
Thanks!

Problem with mail after mountain lion install

Mail has become sluggish to locking up after Mountain Lion install. I get the color wheel each time I start typing in an address to send an email. I also get the wheel when i am typing an address or name in any web page in Safari. Is this a Mail Problem or an Address Book problem?

It sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned up. Have your repaired permissions or cleared caches since you got the computer. Often times when upgrading operating systems permissions get screwed up and it causes issues. Go to disk utility in your "other" folder in applications. Select disk utility, then on the left hand side choose Mac HD then click REPAIR permissions in the center section. Wait for it to finish, restart your computer, then test.

After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook

After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook. Any idea why this might be.

I'd keep them in folders - in your user account section, then just link to the folder with an alias and not keep the actual files and folders out on or in Desktop Finder area.
There is method to madness underneath, most things can be found from top level
