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:

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.

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

IPod touch has dust in between Glass and touch screen.

A few days ago I noticed there were several specs of dust inside my iPod touch screen. As the days have gone by, there are now considerably more, some of which are Very noticeable on bright or white pictures. They are mostly near the bottom which leads me to believe they've come in through the dock connector somehow, but there are some near the top of the display as well. I'm wondering if this is a known issue and whether or not it can be repaired or cleaned. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Simon Leonard

Maybe its just that model, or just you guys. Ive have my 8GB for a little over a month and I haven't had a problem like you are describing. Give Apple a call and see what they have to say it about it. Thats just my two cents.

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

Loss of Truecrypt volume when switching between accounts in Mountain Lion

I have just upgraded to mountain lion and I use different user accounts extensively. When I switch between accounts, I lose the truecrypt volume I use in in one account and have to dismount mount again when I switch back into the account. This did not used to happen. It may be a consequence of moving to OSXFuse from MACfuse and compatibility layer.
Any insights welcomed.

You can't do that. Sparrow was bought by Google and it won't be updated for get new features

Mouse problems with Illustrator CS6 and Mountain Lion

The mouse in Illustrator selects and deselects as it moves over buttons and cells:
1. In Graph data the cells the mouse passes over go dark grey if not already selected, then deselect if they are selected. This makes it very difficult to use the data cells.
2. In Layers window, where I may have 100s of layers, I want to hide one layer or more which are not necessarily adjacent to each other. Illustrator hides all of the layers it passes. It is very difficult to click and unclick the show/hide button (and also the lock button). Ditto with show or unlock toggle layer. I had to start up in Lion in which Illustrator does not have this problem in order to get a job finished in time.
Seems there needs to be a fix for Illustrator to work properly in Mountain Lion.
Has anyone found such a fix?

No I don't have Right-Zoom (don't know what it is), but I have the same problem with Apple's Track Pad, which I don't use much and I only use the inbuilt software.
I use Kensington Slim Blade and before that LogiTech's marble mouse and both need their software to work properly.
All of them work fine in Lion and earlier. Could it be that Adobe has overlooked some new aspect that’s in Mountain Lion which, in my case, needs to be fixed for Illustrator?

Print size problems with Epson R3000 and Mountain Lion

I am using Mountain Lion on a 2008 MBP and an Epson R3000 printer. I can not get prints to size to my paper. In aperture I am choosing custom since there is no option for 11.7X16.5. I have set the print size to the same and still it does not work. I tried both landscape and portrait but that did not work.

Driver Problems with CanoScan 9000F and Mountain Lion?

I have recently taken delivery of a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion. I used Migration Assistant from an older MacBook and all seems to have gone well except for my CanoScan 9000F. This refused to load the MP Navigation software, even though I downloaded the latest drivers. I am a heavy user of the Scanner as I move towards a Paperless Office .
Does anyone have experience of this combination of Scanner and Lap Top? Thank you.

IOS7.1 problem switching between iMessage and "send as text" in group thread

Hi I got a 5c a couple days ago, and updated to 7.1 yesterday so not sure which is causing the problem.
I restored my new phone from a backup off my old iPhone 4 and all is working well except this issue.
I have a group thread of 6 friends, who all have iPhones. We have one message thread that has been going on for 18 months or so, all in iMessage. When I first got this new 5c updated with 7.1 and restored from the backup on Sunday, I was sending iMessages normally like I always have.
Today, iMessage stopped working, so I used the option to "send as text message" that comes up when an iMessage fails. But then all my messages on this group thread were going through in green, instead of blue.
Here are the fixes I've tried:
- I followed older forum suggestions to turn off iMessage, reset network settings, and then reboot my phone. This fixed my iMessage problem within other message threads (with single or group recipients), but all my outgoing texts on this particular group thread are still going through in green. My outgoing messages in other threads are now going through in blue.
- I actually iMessage mostly from my computer, so I tried sending an iMessage to the group thread from my Air to "jolt" the thread on the phone back into blue. The message from the computer showed up in blue when it came through on my phone, but did not "jolt" the phone back into sending iMessages. They still send in green.
- one of my friends on the thread sent me a reply, and it came through as a text message although on her end it shows up in blue. this also did not "jolt" the phone back into sending iMessages.
- I also tried sending a FaceTime request to one of the friends on the group thread, in case that might "jolt" the phone back into iMessage. It didn't work. Boo.
So: is there a manual, thread-specific option for turning iMessage back on? It is working just fine in all other threads, single-recipient or group. It's only this one thread, where I used "send as text message" -- and that was before I did the network settings reset -- where this is a problem.
Please don't suggest that I delete the thread! It is valuable friendship history.

iMessage will autmoatically turn on if the other person is using ios5 and you have a internet connection when these are not available the message would be sent as normal so it must be a problem with ytour network try settings > general > reset > network

Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program. Anyone having this problem besides me?

Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

While updating software on my iPod touch 4 my computerswitched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings but there are photos on my iPod that have not been backed up. Am I going to lose them?

While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?

After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
That is your only choice
