I also did lost my WLAN connection everytime I tried to download this .dmg (either recovery mode or in "live mode" http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110831105634716). I had several issues, sometimes even my WiFi password got lost while downloading...
I think this problem is related to the activated FileVault2 full disk encryption.
Even after EFI Firmware Update 2.1 nothing changed.
My configuration is: Router: Netgear TEW-631BRP and MacBook Air Mid 2011.
Now my solution:
I set up a
DMZ Host
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) option lets you set a single computer on your network outside of the router. If you have a computer that cannot run Internet applications successfully from behind the router, then you can place the computer into the DMZ for unrestricted Internet access.
Note: Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.
Maybe other Router have similar settings to disable a router firewall completly!
Hope this helps.

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

After installing Mountain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work anymore.

Before, I used OS 10.6.8, but tonight after updating the new system Moutain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work any more.
TextEdit is something I use offen, I need a solution.

Image Capture is one of the applications that comes with the OS and there doesn't appear to be a separate download for it. You would have to reinstall the OS to get in back if it isn't there.
Depending on the printer you have, you may have an option to scan from System Preferences/Print & Scan.
try deleting the .plist - com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Windows Server 2008 - Now F11 Recovery doesn't work

Greetings all--
I decided to experiment with my TouchSmart 504 and installed Windows Server 2008 (32 bit). However, since 2008 doesn't seem to like the onboard NIC, I wanted to go back to Vista 64, but now the F11 option to go into system recovery doesn't work. No matter how many times I press it, it just goes back into W2K8. Being something less than smart, I didn't make any recovery disks (couldn't find where to do so). I've ordered the recovery media, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?
Thanks in advance.

You did the right thing - use recovery discs. To see if the recovery data is still on the HD, go in and see if you still have the recovery partition on the hard drive.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

Usb optical mouse doesn't work on MacBook Air

Hi, I need a mouse for my MBA but I only found a cheap USB optical mouse that i've used several times on my pc and worked perfectly fine, I tried using it on my MBA but it doesn't work. I searched in system information to see if at least the mouse is detected and surprisingly it is detected. The mouse has no brand and i don't think it needs any type of driver. What should i do?
I have a MacBook Air mid-2012 running Mountain Lion.
USB OPTICAL MOUSE:
Product ID:          0x0a4c
Vendor ID:          0x15d9
Version:           1.00
Speed:          Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Location ID:          0x14100000 / 1
Current Available (mA):          500
Current Required (mA):          100

You need at least a decent bluetooth mouse.
Best option of course is the Apple Magic Mouse. $69

Logitech Performance MX mouse.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Windows doesn't work

Hello,
I've just upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion (from Leopard) and Microsoft windows 'the Power PC applications are no longer supported'. I've tried to download different version of Microsoft windows - still doesn't work. Help!?
I'm aware that this question may have been posted but somehow can't access the main community room.
Thanks
Odyle

You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.

Option System recovery doesn't work

Notebook Lenovo G50-30 (80G0) - bought a month ago. (Windows 8.1)
Few days ago sound stopped work suddenly. I suspect that this is associated with MS Updates, which was set as automatic. I suspect because this notebook is not my. But now I have it for repair. I noticed that system work abnormally, when I try to use some function from control panel it doesn't work and control panel stop responding. For example update settings.
I decided restore system to factory setting, using NOVO key and option System Recovery. Unfortunately when I choose this option nothing happens and computer loading operating system as usually. I try use software OneKeyRecovery and after it sytuation is the same.
Important information is that system partition C was divided into two parts/partitions. And it was my first clue that something is wrong with ID partitions, but maybe i'm wrong. I change it and set one C volume.
Diskpart shows 5 volumes (0-4), the last one is the recovery partition like below:
On computer: LENOVO-G50
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 C Windows8_OS NTFS Partition 450 GB Healthy Boot
Volume 2 WINRE_DRV NTFS Partition 1000 MB Healthy Hidden
Volume 3 SYSTEM_DRV FAT32 Partition 260 MB Healthy System
Volume 4 PBR_DRV NTFS Partition 13 GB Healthy Hidden
Partition 5

Can someone help me? How can I restore factory settings?

hi mehowg,
Can you try to create a recovery drive and use it to Refresh or Reset Windows 8/8.1.
If that doesn't work, you can try the folliwing to reinstall the OS:
1. Check this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One)
2. After you set Boot Mode to UEFI in the BIOS, follow this guide to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD/USB flashdrive and use it to install Windows 8.1 on the G50-30 (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows).
Note:
The above method (Steps 1-2) will only re-install Windows (you will need to reinstal the drivers manually from the G50-30 drivers page)
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

MS-6702 (K8t neo) Flashed but now nothing, bios recovery doesn't work!!

I updated my bios to the latest one a few weeks back and have been having problems with setting my apeture size to 256 (Noticed a few other people have too here!)
So I reverted the bios back to the one before which I never had any problems with and now my board appears dead
I get no post screen and the optical drives all constantly seek for some strange reason, I've since unattached everything apart from my agp card, ram, processor and floppy drive in a bid to get bios recovery to work. Sadly it doesn't even try to read the floppy and just sits there feeling sorry for itself.
The LED bracket stays at 4 red lights but nothing else happens. I've had this rig for over 5 months so I know it's not the components before anyone suggests it.
This is doing my head in, thanks MSI firstly for releasing a buggy bios and secondly for killing my board
PLEASE HELP

Have you tried clearing CMOS?
If that doesn't work your board is probably beyond recall. You have two choices:
1. Try to RMA it to MSI or your vendor.
2. Replace the BIOS chip
I have used (2) on several occasions with other vendor's systems. This works if the chip is socketed. I use BIOSFLASH.COM (http://biosflash.com/) - you have to ID your chip, tell them what you have, pay some money and e-mail them a copy of the binary you want programmed. They have a well-documented procedure on their website.
I would recommend getting at least two chips - one known good and one with the latest BIOS. That way you can recover from another problem like this one.
Looking at the example K8T Neo2 ATX board on MSI's site the BIOS is socketed but that may not be true of yours. I have a K8MM-ILSR with a soldered BIOS here, so not all their BIOS chips are socketed.
BTW, which method of flashing did you use? From DOS, I hope...running a BIOS flash from Windows is a recipe for disaster (that's why I know about BIOSFLASH.COM)

Mountain Lion Email doesn't work even with 10.8.1 update!

My mail application completely failed shortly after the upgrade to Mountain Lion. None of the user advice has repaired it from these forums, so I have now resigned myself to using my ipad and iphone to conduct all my business emails. I was hopeful that this first 10.8.1 update from Apple would restore the my mail application. I can frustratingly report that no, it certainly hasn't. No change in fact. I click on the mail app and the beachball of death continues for about 5 minutes then it comes up with a message 'there is a problem with your mailboxes' with the option to quit or quit and rebuild index. If I choose that latter, the beachball resumes it's rotation forever or until I hard reset the machine as all other programs crash at this point. Apple, please help FAST, this is no way to run a business!!!!

Agreed, but I think that for most Mail seems to be working fine. There don't seem to many posts complaining about Mail problems - well no more than usual.
Have you tried a Safe Boot which sometimes helps in solving odd problems. and if that doesn't help, re-installing the OS using the Recovery HD?

For a Safe Boot restart holding down the shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

AppStore install button doesn't work on iPad Air 2

Dear Apple fans,
I'm suddenly having a weird issue with my 1 week old Air 2 (me and my dad got the same model, same store, same date): I can't download apps from the store anymore.
Whenever I click any random free app the button changes to ''install'' as it normally would. When I tap that I have to enter my code or use my finger, as is normal. But when that's over the normal download circle & pauze button do NOT appear; instead it reverts back to ''Free''.
This happens with every app, paid apps as well. It doesn't start the download, it doesn't give an error message. To make things worse: my dad has 0 issues on his device.
I CAN, however, re-download previously installed apps from the cloud just fine from the 'purchased' tab. Internet works fine. No other issues what-so-ever. Love the device.
Already tried:
Rebooting.
Re-logging.
Resetting (home + power button reset)
Combination of the above.
There are no apps waiting to be updated or downloaded and everything is up to date.
This is really annoying me since the device is otherwise perfect but I can't really be bothered to do a full firmware re-install... I hate doing stuff like that: I've got a Windows PC to annoy me with things such as that haha.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
-Kevin

Hi Kevin ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try downloading an app again.
No data is lost due to a reset.
