Imac 27" 10.6.8 Internal HDD to boot on OSX Mountain Lion
I have a internal HDD which was on my IMac 27" with OS 10.6.8. The logic board has apparent passed on and I needed the data on the internal drive.
Is it possible to boot that drive / or see the data on a Macbook Pro - Mountain Lion?
Yes you will have to remove the drive and get an enclosure or dock for it so you can connect it to the other system.
You won't boot off of it but boot off your regular drive and mount this as an eternal drive. The will be readable (assuming it has not been damaged when the system died).
regards

Tenho imac e macbook necessito comprar duas licenças do OSX Mountain Lion?
Tenho iMac e Macbook pro necessito comprar duas licenças do OSX Mountain Lion?
Ao contrário do Windows, a intenção da Apple não é ganhar dinheiro com licenças do OS X, então, você pode comprar o sistema uma vez e usar em quantos Macs você tiver.
Fique tranquilo, para a Apple, isso não é pirataria. Tanto que nem número serial eles pedem.
Abraços.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

If you have a problem and need to reinstall, you don't have to pay.
OS X Recovery restores your Mac with a few clicks.

Thanks in advance.if you look throught the questions also alot of people have got problems so in the next couple of days we should be able to get OS X Mountian Lion.

With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?
Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware. -
I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?
Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

CS Upgrade With Apple iMac OSX Mountain Lion
Does any one know if Adobe has a software download patch to be able to use Photoshop CS Upgrade with a new Apple iMac OSX Mountain Lion please?
I checked and mine is an iMac8,1.
When I tried downloading Yosemite it looked as if it started, but then... nothing... I tried several times, to no avail.
I just called Apple and they said downloading Mountain Lion should work. Ordered online, paid my $21 and am now waiting for the download code.
Hope this works. I'm not very computer savvy at all. -
I have a iMac 20 intel/512 mb from 2007 .i want to instal OSX Mountain Lion, but i have a OSX 10.4.1. I need minimal OSX 10.6.8 or more! What i have to do?
Processor 2 GHz Core Duo. 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 .Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If yours is truly a Core Duo then it cannot run Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the latest you can install.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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. -
Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.
I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

My MBP got screwy since Maverick install. I made a bootable copy on my machine of
Mountain Lion (or so I thought) with Diskmaker X. After moving all important files to an external drive,
I cleared HDD, and rebooted from thumb drive, with no success! This article gave me hope:

Can I do this from a friend's iMac in App Store (my account) ?
Thanks :)If so, the first thing I would do is to back up your data on the ill mac. I assume both macs have firewire port, get a cable and connect both macs via this cable. Then restart your ill mac by pressing T key after chime, it will become a simple external disk you should see on the desktop of your healthy mac. Back up your data.
Now, with this action accomplished, you may go on. BArney - 15E is optimistic and says how to restart in recovery mode—this may be possible if installation was complete for recovery partition (I doubt this, but I may be wrong).
Otherwise, I would reinstall from the scratch. If after connecting your ill mac via FW, you may see the disk in good order, you should also see the Lion installer within Applications folder. Copy it unto an external disk or flash disk and keep it safe, you will need it again. -
