Language change on Mountain Lion interface

Hi all,
This problem has been happening for a while and I have no idea why.
Sometimes when I'm prompted to enter an administrative password
the instructions are partially in another language. Seems to be Japanese.
(see attached)
I've repaired permissions often since this problem started and it's never
corrected itself.
Any help appreciated — Cheers, Ben.

I don't suppose you know why Adobe updates for CS would be failing?
Only certain ones related to CS4.
Sorry, no idea. Probably best to ask in the Adobe forums to see if anyone else having the same problem.

Why can't I scan with Printer MX 850 to my IMac since I changed to Mountain Lion?

Hi! I have a Cannon MX850 printer/scanner. Used to be able to scan anything into .pdf to my IMac, but since I changed to Mountain Lion, nothing works. Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks in advance.

There is a printer driver and ICA scanner driver available from Apple, as per this article. So with the MX connected to the Mac via USB, both drivers should be downloaded from Apple and you should then see a Print and a Scan entry under the same icon in Print & Scan. Do you only have the printer icon in Print & Scan?
Also, for future reference, this is the Lion forum so please use the Mountain Lion forum.

I can't change the language setting in Mountain Lion

I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion. The spell checker objected to almost every word I entered. Even after updating the System Preferences to selcect US English as its first choice,, and even after I logged out, and back in again, and even after I rebooted, it still comes out wrong. For some reason it wants use Portuguese.

There are two Language settings - the "Language" Tab and the "Text" tab. Have you set the language in both tabs?
And how are your "Text" settings (the second tab) in the "Language & Text " preferences? Try to switch "Spelling" from "Automatic" to "U. S. English". This helped to get the spelling corrrect for me in Text Edit.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Interface builder starts up with an error every boot.

I've got a late 2008 Macbook Unibody 13", and a few months back I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Ever since the upgrade, at every boot up Interface Builder starts up with an error. I've just ignored it mostly, but now I'm getting annoyed with it. How can I find the programs that start up every boot to research this, or stop it from loading Interface Builder every time?

You have to delete it using the minus sign at the bottom. The check/un-check is for hiding items.

ICal Notification Change in Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the only option I have once a notification pops up is to "Snooze" where previously there were many choices, i.e. remind in 1 hr., 1 day, 1 week, etc. I would like to have the old style back. Is there a way to change this?

OK, let's try this. Download this tool,
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
run it, hit the 'copy to clipboard' button at the bottom of the window, then paste the clipboard in a post here (i.e., hit 'reply' to this post and 'command-v' on your keyboard).

Change in Mountain Lion?

Something has happened (presumably) in Mountain Lion where things are now sliding into and off of the page side to side (it didn't used to be fancy like this before) and I can no longer switch from drafting an email to searching emails... (Once I'm drafting an email I can no long access other pages in MacMail. Everything else is greyed out and clicking on them will not change it. I can also not minimize the email draft, etc.)
This latter feature doesn't seem like a feature Apple would want to take away but I can't find any information on it and I can't figure out where I would adjust it.
Can anyone help me figure out how to fix it? Is seems like they both arrived at the same time so I'm grouping them the same.

I can not change background mountain lion from the Finder

Hi, my problem is:
when I boot the pc I can change screen-> right click-> change desktop background.
But later if I want to change it again this does not answer. If I try twice changes the background
I do not know if the problem is my computer or failure of mountain lion. In Lion or Snow didn´t happen.

Are you using an external display? I've had this happen with an external display. I reset PRAM and all was sell.

Apple forcing change to Mountain Lion by producing poor updates for other OS versions?

I've been holding off on 10.7.5 and I don't want to go to Mountain Lion. I wonder if Apple really cares about supporting the older OS versions by producing updates that don't result in all the apparent problems people are facing with the 10.7.5 update for example. Not even considering the issues that many seem to be having with ML upgrades.

It's important to remember that these forums are for people with problems, and as such, They are not accurate indicators of real world issues.
Millions of people are using Lion and Mountain Lion with no issues, they won't be using these forums.
Personally, I've used and installed Lion and Mountain Lion on three different Macs in my household, MacMini 3.1, MacBook Pro 3.1, and a MacBook Air 1.1 (limited to Lion), and have had no serious problems with them.
The best course of action is to always have a backup of your current partition before upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion. In fact, you should have a backup even if you're not planning on upgrading.
Personally, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper for backup purposes on lieu of Time Machine. I like the advantage of having a cloned, bootable partition.
Also, IMHO, Mountain Lion is an improvement over Lion. It smoothed out the rough edges of Lion.
Lion is no longer available from the App Store unless you phone Apple at 1-800-My-Apple to get an autorization code. But, since you don't need Lion to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I'd recommend skipping Lion, if you can.

Did software update deliver change with Mountain Lion update?

Did software deliver update methd change with Mountian Lion updates?

Apple software updates are now delivered through the App Store. It's not clear yet whether they will also available from the Apple Support website.

Is it possible to script language change in OSX Lion ?

I recently purchased a Disney game (Cars 2) from the App Store, which advertises being available in 5 languages. It seems now that the game has no in-app options to change language, but selects the language based on OSX settings (but otherwise the app doesn't use ANY of the GUI elements from the OS).
My Mac's are all set up in English, in the account on which my kid plays the game doesn't have administrator rights (for good reasons). He doesn't master the English language enough and would like to play the game in dutch. On the other hand, when using Safari and other apps, he is used to the English user interface.
Is it possible to create a script that changes the Finder language to Dutch, then forces Finder Quit, then launches the App, and after quitting the App reverses the Finder Change ? (or if not in one step, maybe in a number of subscripts), so that I can let my kid enjoy his game in dutch without me having to be present each time to change the system settings ?
Thanks in advance.
Philip

Tom, thanks, this works perfectly. In older days, I have been a programmer on Mac (long before even the PowerMac days), and back then I would have used ResEdit to do something similar as what you suggested. Since those days are long gone, I was not sure if it was possible to change the resources of an app without extensive coding software, but the trick you just showed me seems to be the current-day equivalent of ResEdit ...
Anyways, you saved our day ... thanks alot

How to block Screensaver changes in Mountain Lion

Is there a way to block a user from changing the Screensave settings.
As it is now a user can change the time for when the screensaver should start.
Also in the Security settings a user can remove tzhe check regading when password would be required or just change it to 4 Hours instead of directly.
These setting does not require the use of the "Lock" and the root password. And deploying this in an Enterprise environment is a No-Go.
So, is there a good solution for this on Mac?
/Mats/

Hi Linc,
This means that I can block out the "Start after" setting in Screensaver settings and the checkbox for "Require password" and the pulldown option in the Security settings?
At the moment we don't have a OS X Server in our net but if this would solve the problem and that the Mac's that would come in on the Windows Domain would be able to follow the security options, an added server would be no problem.
I noticed in the description that I can only send URL's to the Mac users and then hope they will open this URL and the settings would be applied. If they would ignore the URL the settings would still be open ? or do I have another option to push these changes onto the Mac's. at the moment we're just having a small amount of Mac's that might be deployed... depending on if issues like this could be handled... But after some time there might be quite a few more Mac's comming in. Since the Administrators here has very limited Apple/ OS X know how and also is a prety small team they're afraid of having to do alot of manual konfigurations on each and every Mac... So, I have to avoid such a situation.

Launching apps make screen temperature tone change in Mountain Lion, and kernel panics to

I have a mid-2010 MBP. After installing ML I began experiencing kernel panics after a day or so. The system kept rebooting and couldn't stay on for longer than 2 minutes. It made the loud beeps indicating RAM issues, and the screen sometimes flashed weirdly. I could boot from an external clone, so the problem was the hard drive in the end.
I installed a new SSD (Samsung 830) and 8GB of RAM from Kingston. Everything went fine for a day, them kernel panics started again, with those beeps, 3 beeps and other beeps at different frequencies. I think this time was a problem with the new RAM as switching to the old ones let's the computer work fine.
Installing the old ones again worked fine, but moving the computer makes it freeze, so they're probably defective. When it booted, though, I noticed a strange issue, which is the topic of this question:
Launching apps like Byword, Espresso or AppZapper made the color temperature change for, an hot to a cold tone. Quitting returned it to normal. Other apps, like apple's or Reeder worked fine. Launching these after one of the "cold" ones didn't restore it to normal. Rebooting sometimes solved the issue, it's not a consistent problem. Booting from an external clone of the current setup or an old one doesn't show the issue
With the old original RAM this is less evident, but there's still a slight change with the said apps.
I should try again with the clone to see if the change is slight and I didn't notice it, it may alway have been there from the start actually.
Could it be a video card problem as the Apple Support guy told me? Am I this unlucky and my Kac is falling apart all the way?
There is to say that I cannot afford to send it to Apple to check (which would take a couple of weeks) for a couple of months, as I need the computer.
Have anyone seen this too?
Thanks

AFP Authentication Changes in Mountain Lion??

Here is the senario. I have a mac mini server (running regular ML) which houses my iTunes Library. I have two other macs which access their own library files on the mini via file sharing using the same admin user authentication. This has worked well up until I upgraded to ML when I started receiveing the following error:
"file server will not allow any additional users to log on"
I never had this issue before upgrading.
I have checked the com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist file for the maxConnections and maxGuests keys both are set to 10. I have tried reboots without much luck. Meaning it might work initially, but eventually either my computer or my wife's will get booted off. I had thought of creating two adim users apart form the main server user, but the problem is the permission on the itunes folder that contains all the data is set to the server user, and I don't want to screw up the permission.
Should I concede and buy ML server, or is this overkill for my situation. I should mention I also do TM backups form all the computers to a Drobo which is connected to the MacMini.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance guys!!

Same here. I posted a similar question without response, so it must be unusual. Typically the more regular posters with offer ideas.
I have an iMac which my othe rmacs back up to a drive attached to it, they are all erroring for time machine and trying to connect for sharing tells me to many user connected and try again later. No one else is connected. Rebooting the iMac does nto help and its utterly random, the next day it might work perfectly for two days then suddenly go wrong again.

How do I access Epson's print utility interface from Mountain Lion

How do I run a "print utility" on my Epson Stylus C120 and R1800 printers (older Epson models) with the new Mountain Lion operating system? Since I updated to Mountain Lion, I can no longer access functions like head cleaning/aligning or ink status.
Epson hasn't created updated "drivers" for these printer models and Apple's built-in dialog box for print set-up and other settings don't provide access to printer maintenance functions.
I can't use my printers until this problem is solved. HELP!!!

scraps,
I successfully accessed all the utility functions and print settings of my Epson printers through the new Mountain Lion interface AFTER I first wiped out all my old Epson drivers (listed under "print and scan" in system preferences). Once those old drivers are deleted, plug in your printers (with the power on) and check for a software update on your computer. If the new software doesn't appear, turn your printer on and off while you check again. You should be able to regain all the functions of you printer with the updated drivers. For more detailed step by step instructions on uninstalling and updating your drivers, you can contact Epson--I didn't keep the instructions they e-mailed me or I'd pass them on to you. This is a frustrating prob but it can be solved. I hope you are up and running quickly!

Mountain Lion Permissions changes

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion and am having some problems with permissions that I haven't run across before.
I took a screen shot that was deposited on my desktop as a png.
The permissions on the screenshot png while on the desktop were "you can read & write".
When I dragged the screenshot png to the finder I got a pop up that said "the screenshot ....can't be moved because macintosh hd can't be modified" with an "authenticate" button on the bottom of the popup screen.
When I typed in my password the png was deposited on the finder screen.
When I went to "get info" I found the permissions had changed to "you have custom access" from "you can read and write".
Then when I tried to move the png from the finder to the trash I got a popup that said "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this".
Any ideas as to what happened and what I can do so I don't have to keep typing in my password?
Thanks for your help,
Joim

Hi Linc,
Thanks for the information.
Apparently this was a change in Mountain Lion from Lion that I missed.
I've always been able to drag/drop files, etc. that I created onto the "Macintosh HD" screen with no problem and work with them, delete them or attach them to an email document without having to use my password. It'll take a bit of getting used to but I can manage.
Can you enlighten me as to the reason for this change?
Once again, thanks for your help,
Jim Coleman
