Is Mountain Lion still supported. There haven't been any security updates since the release of Mavericks

I am concerned that Mountain Lion may be no longer supported.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer versions are supported and Apple releases security updates for them.
Rumor has it that support for Snow Leopard may be over.

  • Is there going to be any major updates for the iPhone 5c

    It's really annoying me because I was goin to get the iPhone 5s but I chose the 5c and there haven't been many updates to focus on the 5c but mostly for the 5c there should be a better layout like the 5s has a different. I know you people might want to read this or I might not ever be even recognised 

    What exactly are you talking about? iOS 7.1 is the same on a 5s as a 5c (with the exception of hardware specific functionality such as touch ID). The "layouts" are the same.

  • HT1222 Are there any security updates for the Mac OS 10.4.11?

    Are there any security updates for my G4 PowerPC OS 10.4.11?

    No. Tiger is an obsolete and unsupported OS at this point. If there were any updates you would find them using Software Update.

  • 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.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
    much smaller then than they are now.
    The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
    fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
    Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
    Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
    I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

  • Will Mountain lion will support the creation of Galleries

    Does anyone know if Mountain lion will support the creation of Galleries like the ones produced on mobile me - I need to do this for business purposes - and does anyone have a good sugestion for an alternative - photoshop galleries lack a little flair.

    I moved all my galleries to ZangZing.
    There is no reason to think galleries has any connection to the OS version.  It would require expansion of features in iCloud and the OS X version of iPhoto.

  • Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

    Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

    Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
    Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
    Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

    Not natively. That requires the newer processor. You will have to use Airparrot

  • Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

    Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
    Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

    I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error.  I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail.  After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error.  However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution.  I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop.  So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x.  The install then went off without a hitch.  I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

  • My MacBook running Mountain Lion does not allow me to view any videos on the Internet. The place where the video is supposed to be just shows black rectangle. Is there anything I can do to make videos on line work?

    My MacBook running Mountain Lion does not allow me to view any videos on the Internet. The place where the video is supposed to be just shows black rectangle. Is there anything I can do to make videos on line work? I discovered that Java quits immediately. Could that be the cause? If so, how do I fix it?

    That article is a bit dated.  Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question, with more updated information:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
    4.  Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion.  Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753).    This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.
