ICloud OK with Macs running Mavericks and Mountain Lion?

I have two Macs on Mountain Lion currently, but only want to upgrade one of them to Mavericks.
Will iCloud still work seamlessly?
Thanks!

Correct. iCloud is compatible with OS X Lion and later, so you won't have any problem using iCloud in OS X Mavericks even if one of your Macs is using OS X Mountain Lion. The only thing that iCloud adds in Mavericks is iCloud Keychain, so you can't use it with your computer with OS X Mountain Lion. Apart from that, everything should be working correctly.
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !
    Simon

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

  • Isolated dual boot with OS mavericks and mountain lion

    I just created a dual boot between mavericks and mountain lion (1 physical drive with two partitions) but I'm having troubles where they each see each other.  Bin/ lib/ etc are fine (i think) as they are added via environment vars but it seems as though the spotlight privacy directories are shared.  For instance, I thought I could simply add the other partition to the Spotlight Privacy list, ie while using mountain lion add /Volumes/Mavericks to the privacy list.  However, when I added the volume in one, it also appears in the other.  Another issue I've encountered is that while compiling on ML, I was getting errors complaining about the 10.9 sdk.
    So, can anyone advise on the proper way to isolate these two operating systems with a dual boot scenario?
    Thanks
    Adam

    Create two partitions on the hard drive. Install each OS on its own partition. This will only work if the computer can be booted from either version.

  • Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and Elements

    I have recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks.  Since this I have had problems opening files in Elements 11.  I upgraded to Elements 12, blindly hoping the problem would fix itself, however it hasn't.   When I try to open a file the Finder window pops up then disappears immediately.  Occasionally it will stay open until I scroll down but then closes.   I keep the files on an external drive but the drive is working with all other applications, so I don't think it is that.  If anyone has had a similar problem and has any ideas I would be grateful as the program is unusable for now.  Thanks very much in anticipation

    Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly.  I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
    I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far.  I will let you know if I have any further problems.  It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
    Best of Luck

    Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

  • Dual boot: OS X Mavericks and Mountain Lion?

    Hi there,
    searching the internet I found a lot of video tutorials and discussions about the proper way to partition your hard drive so you can boot OS X Mavericks from your Mountain Lion system.
    However, having installed Mavericks right after its release, I'm trying to install Mountain Lion as a partition on my computer. That's because I need to run some apps which aren't compatible with Mavericks.
    As the Mountain Lion installer consistently tells me that it wasn't possible to run the system on my computer I wonder whether there's a way to boot both, Mavericks and Mountain Lion once you have installed Mavericks.
    I'm grateful for any advice.
    Thanks,
    Lukas

    If you are trying to run the Mountain Lion installer from Mavericks, it will probably tell you it can't.  I'm currently booted from Mountain Lion and tested the Lion installer and it told me no.
    What you can do is make a Mountain Lion USB installer and boot from it.  Now you can select the partition you created and install mountain Lion onto it.  When the installer is finished (it will boot once at least), you'll be in Mountain Lion.  To change back to Mavericks, open system preferences and select startup drive, there you can chose what starts at the next boot.
    Instructions for making a Mountain Lion USB are here

  • USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

    Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
    I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

  • IPod Touch 5g problems switching between Mavericks and Mountain Lion.

    My iPod Touch 5G is set up to sync (manually) with my Mountain Lion iMac. If I connect the iPod to my MacBook Air running Mavericks, it works fine. However, if I then connect the iPod to my iMac, iTunes re-syncs all 9,000 songs - taking hours! This can't be right. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried restoring it and copying all my music back to the iPod, but it  still happens. I need to connect it to both Macs, without this annoying issue. HELP!

    You can only sync music and videos among different iTunes libraries/computer using the manual method of syncing. Otherwise when y switch libraries/computer, the media on the iPod will be replaced with the media in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    The manual method of syncing is included here:

  • Mac running slow after mountain lion

    Mac startted running slower about a week after downloading Mountain Lion. Is that possible related?

    Probably not but you haven't said anything about your system configuration so that may have a bearing on things. How much RAM is installed on your machine? If you have the 2GB minimum then you almost certainly could benefit by a RAM upgrade. Please complete your profile so we know a bit more about your system, it won't help on this thread because the thread has already begun however it will be useful down the road. For instructions on how please click Profile Update.
    Another thing you can do is open Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and run Repair Disk Permissions, I'd recommend doing that at least 2X.

  • HT2090 External iSight camera video feed working fine but mic is not working Mac Pro 2009 and Mountain Lion 10.8.4

    Finally I decided to move forward and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (with all the updates). Now I am facing a dilemma, my external iSight Camera  is working fine regarding the video fee but the Mic is useless. I am using a Mac Pro 2009 and a Apple Cinema Display 30". I checked all the trends about iSight External devices but no one has a really specific solution for my problem. Firewire is not longer supported with Mountain Lion? By the way my iSight was working perfectly before. So I am wondering if something wrong happened with the OS and the support for this kind of device?   I reset the PRAM, the SMC, even I reinstalled the MAC OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4) from scratch. So I am wondering if the problem is that ML is not longer supporting this device or what is the issue here.
    Hope someone can help me with it!
    Thanks

    Not true.  External iSight works fine with my '09 Mac Pro and 10.8.4.

    So it must have.

    You have tried several good things, but there may be other suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 that you have not yet considered.  Be sure to check more than one Apple app in more than one user account to help you pinpoint the cause of your trouble.  Then you will know what to fix.
    In addition to the Apple troubleshooting, check your  > System Preferences... > Sound > Input to verify that your iSight's mic is selected, not muted, and that its volume setting is properly adjusted.  You may need to check this again after restarting Mac or changing apps that use the mic.
    Also, be certain that the apps you are testing are configured to use iSight's mic.  Different apps select the mic in different ways.  For example, QuickTime X allow selection among various microphone alternatives via one of its preferences as shown in the image below: 
    (I was using my Display microphone and did not have my external iSight connected when I made this image.  Therefore, there is no iSight mic shown in my list of mic choices above.  If your iSight's mic is properly connected, turned on, and recognized by your Mac, iSight will show in your QTX microphone preference choice list.)
    If you are trying to use your iSight with a Flash based web site, also check your Mac's  > System Preferences... > Flash Player > Camera and Mic settings to verify that your Flash system preferences are not blocking your mic.
    Some other apps may offer mic and or camera selection via their application menus.  If you have trouble finding out how to select the iSight internal mic in other apps, check each apps' Help or post back the name of the app whose selector you cannot locate here so we can try to help.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.

  • No server connection with CS5.5 dreamweaver and Mountain Lion

    I am having the issue of just not being able to connect to the servers at all now that I have Mountain Lion installed with CS5.5
    I can, however, connect to the servers with cyberduck, so I know this must be an issue with Dreamweaver. Any help would be appreciated. I did notice a patch for this issue in cs6, but unfortunately not for cs5.5
    I did try to re-do the settings for ftp, and checked them against my cyberduck settings, but no help there.

    Well, that fixed the issue (durp). Somehow there was a discrepency between the saved passwords and the server passwords after the update to mountain lion? it would just say waiting... waiting for server... but in the log it was clearer that it was missing something from the login.
    Sorry for the silly issue, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction so quickly. Must have been a keychain hick-up.
    UPDATE: I actually found that it either missmatched or removed the login credentials from each of the servers in my list, now that I'm being more particular as I check them one by one.
    So, make sure to check your login credentials over again if you have this issue. Like I said, I swear I checked them against cyberduck which was working at the time, but now it is accepting the credentials smoothly. I will update again if there is an issue in the future with the credentials not being saved. Thanks snakE!

  • I can no longer access documents in iCloud from my Mac running Mavericks

    I entered into the Yosemite public beta program. After running the installation, I decided to go back to Mavericks. I used my Time Machine Backup to restore my Mavericks installation. All is well again except one thing, I cannot access any pre-Beta documents in my iCloud. I can't see anything in the folders: in Numbers, Pages, or via iCloud.com. I also can't reset iCloud via iCloud.com. I can access some of my documents via Numbers on my iPad, but they have issues like missing fonts.
    If I officially leave the Yosemite Public Beta (via the leave webpage) will it restore my iCloud documents access? Or am I stuck until Yosemite and iOS 8.0 are released?
    I would expect some bugs and speedbumps in a beta, but every page I viewed before trying it stated I could go back to Mavericks using my Time Machine backup, which I did. Had I known I shouldn't enter my icloud info when installing the beta when it asked, I wouldn't have. I'm assuming the files are still there, I just can't see them because I was upgraded to iCloud drive as part of the beta. I may try installing Yosemite Beta in Parallels just to see if I can recover my documents that way.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine.  To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu.  Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine.  Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.
