Is there an automated way to check if my MAC Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion?

I am trying to upgrade my OS to Mauntain Lion after reading all of the requirements, but when i click on purchase, it is telling me that my system is not compatible. Is there a way to automatically confirm compatibility?

It seems you already did that but to verify the App Store's diagnosis is actually correct, type in your Mac Pro's serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
To find its serial number: Mac Pro: How to find the serial number
You can copy the serial number from About This Mac > More Info... and paste it in the above page's serial number field. Mountain Lion requires an early 2008 or newer Mac Pro. That would be a MacPro3,1 or later.

Hello royalaqua,
I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year. Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases. Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

Is there a version of Internet Explorer which is compatible with Mountain Lion?

Is there a version of Internet Explorer which is compatible with Mountain Lion?

I found my answer. The latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac is still a POWER PC APP and therefore will not run on Mountain Lion. I just tried it an indeed I received the message that 'power pc apps no longer run on Mac OS 10.8. FINI

Is there a plug in to make my 2007 macbook pro able to install Mountain Lion

Is there a plug or something in to make my 2007 macbook pro able to install Mountain Lion?

Thanks

No. The architechture is too old. I think Lion will be as far as you can go, as a guess without knowing your specs. But if the machine cannot run Mountain Lion then there is no way of doing it (short of replacing the mechanics which would be more expensive than buying a more up to date Mac)

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro 13 inch with mountain lion and an apple tv2 software version 5.0.2 and would like to use airplay mirroring however it does not show up in my menu bar. i have been to the display settings and it says there are no devices found

both the apple tv and macbook pro are on the same network

i also have norton antivirus. could that be blacking airplay? if so how would i fix that?

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my library and add them ?

Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my i tune library and add them to y existing library ?
I recenty had a damaged i tune library and had to import an old version.
This last one does not have many of the CD I have copied the past months. And I don't know which ones these are either as they are too many of them.

This will list files that are in the iTunes DB but the files are not in the media folder…

I think it may misbehave with ringtones & some of the obscure media files, but they are both really powerful for repairing mangled libraries.
I would create a new smart playlist for 'Tracks added since (todays date)' so you can easily find any tracks that you add back to iTunes.
Doug has a lot of scripts for iTunes, spread the karma & donate if they are useful to you

Is there an automated way to fix broken links?

I've been revising a large online Help system. I've added
many new topics. I've deleted topics. I've changed topic names of
topics already in place. As a result, the system has many broken
links. Is there an automated way, or a utilility, to fix these
links? This is a very large help system.
I'm using X5 (WebHelp).
Feel free to answer via email, and thanks!

When you delete RH offers to fix the links to that topic. If
you did not take that option then you can only fix it manually. Did
you perhaps delete outside of RH?
I don't see how adding a new topic can break a link as
nothing links to it until you create the links.

Is there an automated way to replace a query with another in a workbook?

Hi all,
I have a bunch of Queries which I'm planning to phase out, and I have replacement Queries for them. The Queries to be phased out are used in Workbooks. Is there an automated way to replace these obsolete Queries with new Queries in these workbooks? Maybe a BAPI, function module, VB Macro, Tcode (so that a BDC program can be written) or some other way?
Thanks in advance

Kernel seeds are an excellent way to learn how to build a targeted kernel for your hardware, and I use and recommend them. They are not an automated method, which is what I understand the OP is looking for.
(edit) yes, the information on the page is a little dated, but the methods still work. Kernel seeds are not really about faster and easier -- it's about understanding what you really need and how the process works (again, not really what the OP was asking for, but a different approach to kernel building).

OpsMgr have methods which can get all host classes. Here my own function which can solve your issue:
function Get-SCOMClassProperty {
param(
[Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackClass]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$ManagementClass,
[Switch]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
$KeyOnly
function Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection | ? {$_.Key}
If ($ManagementClass.Hosted) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass.FindHostClass()
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
function Get-SCOMClassAllProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
$ManagementClassProperty = Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
If (!$KeyOnly) {
$ManagementClassProperty += Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
$ManagementClassProperty | Select-Object -Unique
If you need to do it in SCOM 2007 R2 then you can try my scripts from this examples http://systemcenter4all.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/scom-monitoringclass-functions/. Last should work in 2007 R2 and in 2012. Example in thread will work only in 2012.
For example just run command:
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
$ManagementClassName = "Microsoft.SQLServer.Database"
$ManagementClass = Get-SCOMClass -Name $ManagementClassName
Get-SCOMClassProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass -KeyOnly | select Name

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,

Is there an easy way of creating a distribution list from an email with multiple addresses? Those addresses are not in your contacts already, and don't need to be.

I want to be able to take all the email addresses someone else has used to distribute an email and create the same distribution list for myself for future use. I don't want to add all those people to anywhere in my contacts list. I just want them to be in my "new distribution list", like "soccer families", etc. I tried to copy and paste, but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I was close, or maybe it isn't possible. Thoughts?

I don't want them in contacts because they are simply a related group (like my sons current soccer team). People I may never need to email again after a sports season. I don't want to have to have these people in my contacts permanently.
You don't. When the season is over, delete them.
But, the text clipping should work.
The next IOS should have a feature "create mailing list from distribution list". A fast and simple way to retain a distribution list from an email you received. People get copied all the time using distribution lists they may want to reuse easily, like school, sports or work groups. Oh well.
How is that any different from adding them to Contacts? Here's the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There is a set of Mail Scripts that has a function to Add Addresses from an email to any group. But, it doesn't work with Mountain Lion.

Recently forced to update Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Performance is awful. Is there any way to change back/downgrade?

(Sorry if this isn't the correct category)
I have always been a fan of Apple and almost always love Firmware updates. OS X 10.9 and 10.10, however, I do not like.
I recently spent a lot of time going through all the troubleshooting steps Apple Support makes you go through before I called them to get my problems fixed as quickly as possible (no point wasting both our time). I had encountered scepticism in the past that maybe my problems were because I was running 10.8 and so to prove that it was in fact a hardware problem, I updated. AppleCare finally agreed to replace my logic board (for a second time) which fixed the performance problems I was having. The process took hours and I ended up being right the entire time.
I originally had my own little reasons for not wanting to update but decided I would try Yosemite since I didn't really have much of a choice at this point. I have now given it a good month and have concluded that this OS version is completely useless to me and near unusable.
A small list of the more annoying problems:
Photoshop crashes and/or needs restarting constantly
my Wacom Tablet doesn't function properly (or at all
my computer lags when I open Dashboard or App Exposé
I get the spinning beach ball for a good five seconds at times almost exclusively when using a feature of my computer such as Finder, Pages, iTunes, etc.
computer feels like it is lacking in specs
Additionally, there are a dozen little things about the way Yosemite behaves and looks that I find hard to ignore. I WOULD ignore these things if my software worked properly.
Yes, I did try reinstalling programs and drivers; no it didn't help.
I paid for a computer running Mountain Lion because I knew I could do my art on it, play the games I wanted, and do word processing the way I liked. Is there any way at all (no matter how long or difficult a process) to downgrade back to 10.8? And specifically without voiding my warranty?
I really don't want to be forced back to buying Windows but I spent a lot of money on something that is now not functioning in a way I can use it ):
TL;DR
had 10.8. needed to update to 10.10 so AppleCare would believe that I had hardware problems. Hardware is now replaced and I need 10.8 back without voiding my warranty.

That took about an hour and after the recovery finally opened I was prompted with downloading "Lion" instead of "Mountain Lion" I proceeded. It installed overnight. Now my Macbook has Lion on it and the only way to get Mountain Lion back is in the App Store for $20....
This does not make much sense if the Laptop had Mountain Lion on it from new. Internet Recovery downloads the current version of the OS that the machine was built with, are you sure that you did not upgrade to ML from Lion?
If you did you can redownload Mountain Lion for no charge.
