By upgrading to Mountain Lion will 1333mhz ram be recognized?

Installed 8gb/1333mhz ram running snow leopard and it would crash at boot screen. Did some research and saw my mac cant handle that and I really would like to be running 8gb, so before exchanging the ram I was curious if by upgrading to Mountain Lion, will the system then recognize and not crash with the 8gb/1333mhz ram???

Your MBP is supposed to be using PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz ram. Macs are extremely sensitive to their memory and repeatedly have problems with ram that is not exactly in spec. Using ram rated at a higher speed will not run faster, and in fact will not boot in most cases.
You need to send the memory back and get the correct ram for that machine, check the Mac specialists such as OWC and Crucial for memory that is guaranteed to work.

Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.
I have found this site really helpful with that:

Will 16Gb RAM on a Early 2011 2.7 Ghz i7 Macbook 13" cause any problem? Also i plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion, will it work?

I want to upgrade my machine with 16 GB RAM, it already has a G.Skill single RAM chip of 8gb. need help with the following. Will upgrading to 16Gb RAM on a Early 2011 2.7 Ghz i7 Macbook 13" cause any problem? Also i plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion, will it work?

It won't cause you any issues or problems....
it is however, suggested you install the same brand RAM that are of the same specs....
1333MHz........
Installing different brands with different CL speed might cause issues....
so if you already have a G.Skill RAM installed, then install the same brand.

HT4414 If I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will my Windows based apps still work or will I have to reinstall them?

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will my Windows based apps still work or will I need to reinstall them?

As I said, the Windows applications are running in the virtual machine, using the Windows system. It is not directed affected by upgrading Mac OS X to Mountain Lion. So you should not need to re-install anything that runs in the Windows virtual machine.
The real question is, does Parallel Desktop, which is the Mac OS X application, work properly under Mountain Lion? You should go to
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
and make sure you are using the latest version that has been updated to work with Mountain Lion.

I am using lion and wonder if I upgrade to mountain lion, will I have to purchase iWorks

Please, someone address this issue. I wonder if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, will my applications work such as iWorks '09.
I just purchased an iPad 2 and I understand that if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion that I will be able to integrete the two better.
Thanks so much for any input. I have spent hours trying to find out this information on FAQs, support questions etc. on Apple.ca and
frankly, I am getting very frustrated.
PS - I just purchased the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion not even a year ago and here I am again. Don't know what to do.

When upgrading to mountain lion will it delete all my files?

Will an upgrade to mountain lion delete all my files so as to lose data or will my existing files be saved?

That's the difference between doing an upgrade or a fresh install. Mac OS 10.6 or .7 can be upgraded or even reinstalled over the top of the existing OS without affecting the user folder which contains all your documents, pictures, music, etc.
In order to do a fresh install you would have to used Disk Utility to wipe the drive before you do the installation.

Upgrading to mountain lion will it erase my calendars on my devices?

I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet but am ready to do so & am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I don't use my Calendars on my iMac since I don't have icloud and am nervous that once I install Mountain Lion it will then erase all the calendars I have set up on my ipads and iphones to match the iMac. Can anyone tell me the best way to upgrade and not lose the Calendar info I have on all my devices? Thank you!!

These will protect you Mac. I have no iOS devices, so can't discuss those things.

If I download the new mountain lion will I loose my word program and documents?

I am about to download the upgrade to mountain lion though I am worried I will loose my Microsoft Word and it's documents.

Before embarking on this venture, ensure that you have a bootable backup/clone of your current SL installation so you can restore it. Do note that no PPC apps work in Lion/Mtn Lion. See these for details:

If I upgrade to Mountain lion will I still be able to use adobe photoshop

If I upgrade from snow Leopard to Mount Lion will I still be able to use adobe photoshop[

Which version?
Certainly Photoshop CS6 works just fine under OS X Mountain Lion.

If i upgrade to mountain lion, will I lose all my aftermarket software?

I just got an iPad 2 & now I need to upgrade my macbook pro to mountain lion so I can activate iCloud & share media between the two. I'm worried that if I do, I will lose all my aftermarket software on my macbook, most importantly 'office for mac' as I don't have it on disc and need it.
I was going to upgrade via the app store - can I do that without it affecting my other software?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You won't lose anything upgrading Mac OS X. Note that Office 2004 isn't compatible with OS X Mountain Lion because it's a PowerPC application, so if you are using it, you have to upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011 first. Remember to make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading

I have a macbook 2009 2gb model. If i upgrade to mountain lion will it slow down the laptop?

I have a mac book, 2gb 2009 model. I am thinking of upgrading the system to mountain lion but recently did the ame thing on my work's desktop mac and I find the system is slightly slower. Will it make my macbook slower doing this. Currently I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Thanks

i've been running mountain lion on my white unibody 2gb ram macbook since launch. it is possible and it works, but i just upgraded to 4gb's yesterday and i can tell a difference in the os. its not dramitically faster like an ssd would be, but its definitely snappier and smoother.
i got my 4gb ram at owc for 32 dollars shipped and it was very easy to install.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion LibreOffice keeps asking for Java and crashing.

Java is needed only for Base which I don't use, so I disable Java in LibreOffice preferences, but it keeps asking if I want to enable it. In addition the preferences aren't being remembered so sometimes LibreOffice crashes when I start to do anything and it has to recover documents. Its all a big nuisance. I have NeoOffice which seems OK, but I'd like to have the option of LibreOffice which I have used for some time. Any thoughts?

Did you install the last Java update 006 _37?

I upgraded to mountain lion 10.8.4 last night and a few of my java applications dont run anymore! Is anyone else having this issue?

Most specifically Gephi 0.8.2 has stopped working.

I had some problems with Java too.
Apple released an updated Java package on June 18, 2013 and that seemed to address my problem.
Link for the 10.7 / 10.8 Java Update - named "Java for OS X 2013-004" - is:
