Is iphoto included with mountain lion

is iphoto supposed to be include in mountain lion

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
OS X doesn't come with iLife apps (including iPhoto), but all Macs come with iLife preinstalled. If you upgrade from an older OS X and you have iPhoto installed, it will be kept after upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion

Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality. Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
Best wishes,

Will bootcamp and vista work with Mountain lion 10.8.2

PC died so got an iMac and setting it up with small "PC" on it for two programs I need that will only run on PC. I am wondering if Bootcamp works with 10.8.2 and Vista will work with both...or are there known issues.
Thanks,

Vista will not work you will need Windows 7.
Run Boot camp Assistant that is included with Mountain Lion to create the Bootcamp partition for installing Windows 7.

I have a Mac with mountain lion 10.7.5 but iPhoto is 08 how do i up grade

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion 10.7.5 but still have Iphoto 08 how do i upgrade to a later version ?

10.7.5 is OS X Lion.
The iPhoto version available in the Mac App Store is only compatible with OS X Mavericks, that you can download from the Mac App Store. If you want to upgrade, first make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com After upgrading, purchase iPhoto from the Mac App Store and use iPhoto Library Upgrader.
If you do not want to upgrade, buy iLife '11 in a DVD at Amazon, and install it. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife version, including iPhoto

IPhoto '09 seems to be incompatible with Mountain Lion

Hi
I am a long-standing major fan of Apple computers. This is because they allow me to work easily with images. I am an art historian and museum curator. My professional life is entirely about images ... or rather about images attached to data.
For years I have been accumulating and categorising images using iPhoto. It has been the most wonderful tool. A clear, simple interface. The capacity to attach searchable free-text metadata. Wow, that simple feature makes this the most powerful application of any I have ever used.
The problems started for me when iPhoto '11 first came out. This removed the capacity to compare photos side by side in full screen mode, a brilliant, simple and obviously powerful feature. As a consequence I did not upgrade, but stuck with iPhoto '09 (8.1.2).
Now I discover that there seems to be a bug which means iPhoto '09 is not compatible with Mountain Lion. Whenever you go into Preferences the computer seizes up and has to be hard-booted. An Apple genius was unable to fix this for me. I've reinstalled the entire operating system to try and fix the problem, but it remains. I gathered from a discussion thread that it was simply an incompatibility with Mountain Lion.
As a consequence I have purchased iPhoto '11 (9.4.1) and Aperture, which I was advised by the Apple Genius would be much better than iPhoto. I have converted my several iPhoto libraries. But I just cannot get anything resembling the clean functionality of iPhoto '09. Everywhere I am cluttered up with gadgetry which I cannot remove. It just is no longer possible to view photos with their basic metadata in a clear and simple way.
The only way I can see forward is to downgrade to Lion, reinstall iPhoto '09, and live the rest of my life without ever upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Forgive the long rant. I am sure people will be irritated and say I should not be using an application designed for holiday snaps for professional purposes. But that is not how I see it. iPhoto is part of the fundamental suite of utilities which makes an Apple computer what it is. That means it ought not to be designed with a single purpose in mind. We are creative people. We use our machines as it suits us to use them. Apple became what it is because it understood that.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a image organiser which allows me to store photos with associated searchable free-text metadata, add dates of my own choosing to the images and to do this in a way which integrates with other applications as well as iPhoto, I'd be so very grateful.
Otherwise I think it's going to have to be the downgrade.
Or could this even be the moment come to abandon Apple? I'm due for a new machine. For the first time in 25 years and six Apple computers I'm going to be considering the competition. Any helpful suggestions would be very gratefully received.
Thanks.

Yes, that's it! You're brilliant. Thank you so, so much.
Just in case anyone else reads this having had the same problem, the answer is (as Terence says) to delete anything which might cause the computer to try to link to a MobileMe account. My iPhoto libraries had old MobileMe photo galleries which I hadn't bothered about in years. It seems these caused the iPhoto Preference pane to attempt to access MobileMe whenever I opened it. This of course it could not do because the service is defunct and so the computer simply beachballed. In order to remove the MobileMe galleries I found I could only do it if I first disconnected my wireless network. All MobileMe references are gone now (I hope) and everything seems to be working well.
Hugely grateful.

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto. Every time I try to export to iPhoto slideshow folder, it freezes. Help!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Have created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto, but every time that I try to export it to an iPhoto slideshow folder, it gets halfway through and freezes. This has been going on for a couple of days. I've tried opening iPhoto holding down the option key, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice, please?

Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
There are two libraries where this plugin might be
HD/ Library
and
HD/Users/Your Name / Library
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

Which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion ?

Please, which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion?
I just updated my OS X to 10.8.5 and still have iPhoto '11 v9.2.3. I have been unable to find if there is a newer compatible version of iPhoto; while I know that iPhoto 9.5.1 is incompatible with Mountain Lion.

Do you know where I can get it?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 installed, try the updater, that Terence Devlin linked to. If you do not already own a version iphoto '11, buy an installer disk from for iLife '11 from Amazon or eBay. You cannot download a full installer for free, only updates.

IPhoto missing from Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I am not sure if I somehow deleted iPhoto or it just isn't bundled with Mountain Lion anymore, but I'm fairly sure it has vanished from my computer.
I now have no way to open my iPhoto archives. I went on the app store but it wants £11.99 to download another copy? If I have Mountain Lion, am I entitled to somehow get a free copy? Any way to restore apps that should have been bundled?
Thanks

Mountain Lion is not bundled with iPhoto (or any of the other iLife products including
iPhoto,iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, and iWeb.) However, unless your performed a "clean" install iLife shoudl still be installed.. did you check the Applicaitons folder to see if you can find any of them? Otherwise, you'lll have to restore these apps from the iLife disk(s) or follow the advice above from VikingOSX.

How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

Hi All,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
All great except for my Apple Remote control.
Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
Any advice will help!
Thanks in advance/all the best.
Marco

Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
they do promote the following:
Apple Remote with Mac
The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
Cheers
Marco

Multiple problems with Mountain Lion

I purchased OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on August 23, 2012 and iPhoto '11 9.4.3 on August 22, 2012. I have started having problems last month with freezes, various Apple software not working properly, and after the last update, I no longer can access my flash drives. I recently posted about my problems with iPhoto not letting me look at individual photos and showing only the black screen with thumbnail strip on the bottom (followed the reply poster's advice, thank you, but without any luck).
Now I am having issues following the last 2 updates from Apple to my OS.
- Spotlight will only look in the web (followed the steps provided by another discussion by going to system preferences, selecting all the files/areas to exclude using the "+" sign, then using the "-" to remove all the ones in privacy to force spotlight to reindex, no luck, still not working, even unchecking the webpages box in search results)
- Extremely slow response of my iMac, for instance, looking in my Applications folder on my dock, it opens in stages with each stage getting bigger and bigger until it is open to its normal window size (hope that makes sense)
- iTunes corrupted immediately after the lastest update when I tried to create a new folder for music resulting in a corrupted iPod and having to restore the iPod and reload the iTunes and all my songs from back up
- iMac no longer recognizes any of my flash drives (the USB ports recognize my iPod, Seagate external, digital recorder, etc) but refuse to recognize my flash drives. My flash drives work fine on all other computers both Mac and PC (have a 2 Memorex, 2 PNY, and 1 Scandisk brands). I did what another poster suggested (I browsed to see what to try before posting here). When I go to disk utilities, I am unable to "verify "the flash drive and not able to "mount" it
The flash drive is grayed out as are the other steps.
I am ready to uninstall Mountain Lion and go back to the OS that my computer came with in Jan 2010. I have not had any issues with Mountain Lion until last month. I am open to suggestions and ideas, not sure what happened in May (I did not load any new software, no brown outs, black outs, nothing done differently in May that I had not been doing all along).
Thanking you in advance

Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
1. I can only guess which of the modifications you've made to your system is causing the problem. The changes suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, refer to its developer for support.
2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
N/A
and definitely remove at least the following:
BlackBerry Desktop Manager
CleanMyMac
Eltima SyncMate
Seagate Storage Driver
† Sophos
† Symantec AntiVirus
4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
You will generally have to reboot after uninstalling a system modification. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
Remove the Sophos product by following the instructions on this page.
Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

How do I transfer photos from an external drive, taken from a defunct computer with Snow Leopard, to one operating with Mountain Lion?

My late 2007 MacBook Pro, with a replacement 500 GB drive and updated to Snow Leopard, died. The extracted drive works in an external drive case, so all the files are there. Most of the files were transferred from a time machine backup to a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. However, about a week's worth of files were missing from the Time Machine backup, due to traveling. I would like to copy just those files, mostly pictures, from the original drive to the new system. However, when I try to use iPhoto to get to the image files on the external drive, the system says the iPhoto information must be updated to the new system and, once done, they cannot be accessed with an old one. One concern is that updating the iPhoto information on the external drive might go wrong and make the files inaccessible. If there were some way to just have the underlying image files identified and copied, that would be most comfortable for me. .Any advice?

1 - updating your iPhoto library does not make photos inaccessible - it does update the iPhoto database so that you have to have the current version of iPhoto to open the library - however the photos are in the database and can be accessed via the finder anytime
2 - you do not memtion what version of iPhoto you had - the original photos are in the masters (or original) folder which can be accessed by right clicking on the iPhoto library and showing package contents - Be sure NOT to make any changes to the library)

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free, If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.

If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world.
