Lion Server under Mountain Lion OS X

Hello,
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I forgot to switch off all Lion Server services before upgrading. Now Lion Server cannot be started under Mountain Lion, and I don't want to upgrade it. Is it safe to just delete Server.app? Or maybe are service still running in the background, and I need to do something more complex?
Thanks in advance for your help
Roberto

If you don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion Server, you're only other option is to completely erase your OS volume and reinstall Lion; then Lion Server. Or if you don't want to run Server any longer, you can just install Mountain Lion.

Firewire, Virtual software and Chrome don't work under Mountain Lion. Why?

I upgraded two machines to Mountain Lion: A Core i7 iMac and a Core2Duo Mac Mini running OS X Server.
The first thing I noticed was that any virtual machine software icons - Fusion, Parallels and Virtual Box - show up with the circle crossed out, even though each version was the latest installed (came as part of a couple of MacUpdate bundles).
Then I noticed on the iMac, all firewire devices were not being seen. I have a Lacie 4big Quadra hooked up via firewire 800, an LG DVD+R drive on firewire 400 (800 to 400 cable coming out of the Lacie) and an EyeTV 200, which all were working just fine under Lion. System Profiler shows a "Maximum Speed: up to 800 Mb/sec", but no devices listed as available. I did dupe the original Lion installation to an external USB disk but haven't resorted to that yet. Tried identifying all connected devices at the command line, but haven't had success finding the firewire devices.
Finally, although the latest Safari is nice and fast, I have been accustomed to working with Google Chrome. On the iMac, every time I attempt to run Chrome, it comes up crashing and asking if I wanted to report it, which I do. I even went as far as to delete and reinstall Chrome and I get the same result. What's up with that?
Ideas?
Regards,
Tony.

Since posting, I found out there were some updates available from VMWare, Parallels and Oracle (VirtualBox) which now allow them to run properly under Mountain Lion.
I still have the problem with Firewire and Chrome though... For Chrome, I have deleted and reinstalled but get the same result. As for Firewire, I'm almost ready to "reorganize" my wiring from adding another powered hub and hooking some of the devices via USB, or just follow the lines and plugging and unplugging, although moments before the reboot from Lion to Mountain Lion, all firewire devices worked in the configuration described and nothing had since changed...
Regards,
Tony.

Rosetta Stone (v.4.1.15) Error 8111 under Mountain Lion

When launching Rosetta Stone v. 4.1.15 under OS X Mountain Lion, I'm getting the following error during the license verification process:
"8111 There was a minor error. Click OK to continue. -1"
Before I upgraded my Mac from Lion (where Rosetta Stone was working) to Mountain Lion, I had replaced my hard drive on the Mac. So, I first powered down my Mac and pulled out the existing drive with Lion and working Rosetta Stone on it and replaced it with a brand new hard drive (larger capacity). Then I installed Mountain Lion on the new drive. Then I used the existing Time Machine backup and Time Machine restore function of Mac OS to bring personal files, applications, and settings from the backup (made in Lion) into the newly installed Mountain Lion. Every other application (besides Rosetta Stone) that I had installed under Lion worked in Mountain Lion after this process was completed.
I called Rosetta Stone support, and the gentlemen I spoke with thought that the problem was due to me not having deactivated the license under Lion, so the Rosetta Stone license verification server was thinking that I was trying to activate Rosetta stone on a third computer with the same Activation Code. So today I decided to boot up my Mac with the old drive that still has Lion installed on it. Once my Mac booted up, I launched Rosetta Stone, and the license verification completed normally, so I was able to use Rosetta Stone. Then I deactivated the Rosetta Stone license under Lion and received a Deactivation Code. After that, I was given a confirmation message that the deactivation succeeded. Then, I booted my Mac into Mountain Lion, launched Rosetta Stone, entered the Activation Code, and received the same exact 8111 error. I have now tried to activate the Rosetta Stone license under Mountain Lion several times, and I keep getting the same 8111 error.
So, the problem was not with Rosetta Stone license verification server thinking that I was trying to activate a third computer with the same Activation Code. Before I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I had Rosetta Stone software activated on two Macs with the same Activation Code. I am NOT trying to install this software on a third Mac. I am trying to run it on the same Mac that I was running it before I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion.
To me it looks like there is a problem between Rosetta Stone and Mountain Lion in that for some reason the verification of Rosetta Stone Activation Code is failing under Mountain Lion, whereas it is working fine under Lion.

After several days of going back and forth with Rosetta Stone support, and their useless advice, I finally figured out how to get Rosetta Stone TOTALe 4 to work under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. Below are the instructions; follow them attentively, and you should get Rosetta Stone TOTALe 4 working under Mountain Lion.
Getting Rosetta Stone 4 to work under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion
1. Download the Rosetta Stone package from http://www.rosettastone.com/v4upgrade
2. In the Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
3. Drag the "Rosetta Stone TOTALe" application to Trash. This is your existing installation of Rosetta Stone TOTALe that doesn't work under Mountain Lion.
4. In the Finder, go to /Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe and locate the file "tracking.db3" (without quotes).
5. Select this file and hit the "Return" key on the keyboard.
6. Rename this file to "tracking-backup.db3" (without quotes).
7. Click on Apple, click on System Preferences and go to Security and Privacy > General; under "Allow applications downloaded from:" select "Anywhere".
8. Go to the Downloads folder and find the file "Rosetta_Stone_TOTALe.dmg" (without quotes) that was downloaded in Step 1.
9. Double-click on this file. Then in the window that opens, double-click on the "Rosetta Stone TOTALe.mpkg" file (without quotes).
10. Install the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
11. In the Finder, locate the mounted package with the Rosetta Stone installer and eject it. (This step is important in order to be able to locate the updater package later on.)
12. Quit the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
13 In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
14. Launch the newly installed Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
15. The application will prompt you to download an update.
16. Agree to downloading the update and wait until the download is finished.
17. The application will tell you that the update was downloaded successfully and that once you hit "OK" it will launch the updater. However, it does not launch the updater. Instead, you should open the Finder, and under DEVICES locate the mounted updater package.
18. Click on the mounted updater package and run the updater application.
19. Once the updater application finishes, quit it.
20. In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
21. Launch the newly updated Rosetta Stone TOTALe applicatoin.
22. You will be prompted for the activation key. Enter the activation key that came with your Rosetta Stone Software.
23. Quit the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application.
24. In the Finder, go to /Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe and locate the file "tracking.db3" (without quotes).
25. Drag the "tracking.db3" file to Trash.
26. In the same location (/Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone/TOTALe), find the "tracking-backup.db3" file, select it, and press "Return".
27. Rename the "tracking-backup.db3" file to "tracking.db3".
28. In the Spotlight or Finder, search for "rosetta stone kind:app" without quotes.
29. Click on the Rosetta Stone TOTALe application. It should launch with the user progress that you had before you upgraded to OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can no longer connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth. It was fine under Mountain Lion

Pairing my Bose Sounddock 10 to my Macbook Pro (early 2011) via Bluetooth was fine under Mountain Lion. After installing Mavericks, connection failed. I deleted the Sounddock & attempted to pair it again. I get an occasional 'flash' in the 'Devices' list, but no pairing occurs.
I have no issue pairing the Sounddock to my iPad running iOS 7.0.3.
Has Bluetooth been changed for Mavericks?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
It still works with the iPhone 5
Thank you

Complications migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server.

I'm migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server. The article "OS X Server: Upgrade and migration" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5381) says
"Make sure that any DNS or DHCP servers on which your server depends remain running during the upgrade"
This advice is reinforced by the details of the article "OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300).
As the server I'm migrating from provides these services it will need to be running during the migration process. This would seem to limit my options to doing the migration from a Time Machine backup (or, making a seperate clone of the server's drive and connecting it externally to the new box)
My main concern is the seemingly inevitable clash that is going to occur on the network as the new server takes on the roles of the old one - while it is still running.
What are my options here ?
This is my second attempt as on my first try I did the migration from the TM backup with the network down - and none of my local network users or their home directories were migrated, although the settings for the mount points were, but there were no actual directories where they pointed to!
Clear directions on how to procede would be VERY MUCH appreciated
Thank you.

Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
Destroy any Open Directory replicas
Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
Note down any other service settings
Install Mountain Lion
Install Server.app
Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
Run Server.app
Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
Make new Open Directory Master
Run Workgroup Manager
Import users and groups you previously exported
You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

HDMI Video corruption under Mountain Lion

I have a mid 2011 15 inch Macbook pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion. I use an HDMI TV connection as an external monitor with the laptop closed. I switch to another work PC on the TV using the source selection. This causes the Mac to Sleep because no external monitor is detected. When returning to the mac and waking it up via a blue tooth track pad, the video is corrupted. It's just scrambled.
Unplugging the monitor and plugging it back in, doesn't help.
Unplugging the monitor, opening the mac, then plugging in the cable fixes it. I use a mini display port to HDMI connector.
This worked fine with no corruption under Lion - but it is easily reproducable with corruption under Mountain Lion.
Any advice?

Opening and closing the lid corrects the problem by causing the external monitor to refresh.
It doesn't have to be disconnected and reconnected.
The problem still occurs after the 10.8.1 update.

I have to input a password in order to log in each time I turn on my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now my built-in keyboard suddenly doesn't respons at all. And the bluetooth function seems to activate automatically even though I turn it off

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Safari slow under Mountain Lion

A friendly enquiry to the Apple Expert Community
After I have upgraded my LION configuraiton with the latest MOUNTAIN LION Release, Safari has become very slow in loading web pages. I am connected to a highly performing Internet DSL Link (VDSL 20kbit's DL / 2kBit's UL).
Under LION I had no problems in this area. Also I must mention; when using FIrfox under Mountain Lion (ML), the Internet and Web Page Loading Process is very fast!
What have I done for test purposes:
1) I deactivated all iCould services to see whether it would improve - no change - still slow
2) I Did a clean ML Installation with no software etc on it - from scratch - all patches loaded etc. - Safari STILL SLUGGISH !
Assumption:
There is a bug or new feature within ML, possibly the new combined URL and Search Bar feature (searching ahead, etc) which slows down the load of Web Pages... ?
Anyhow,
The results of my short tests give me a strong indication (proof) of, the slowness of Safari 6 under ML is not caused by mal user handling or buggy software installed, but an initial insufficiency of the first release of ML
Question:
Does anybody have already found a slution to the described problem?
many thanks for some feedback

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for certificates that are expired or invalid. Delete any you find.

HT1338 Quicktime Player no longer plays under Mountain Lion

Quicktime Player no longer plays under Mountain Lion. It loads, I can see the video but it does not move when clicked on to advance. It does move page by page mannually with the arrow buttons but does not play when clicked on the video advance button.

Is this a known problem?
Yes, if you mean that the MOV file may contain data that is not supported by the QT X AV Foundation, Modernizer, and Convert 64-bit QT X structures embedded in the Mavericks and Yosemite operating systems but still supported by the 32-bit QT 7 structure still included in these operating systems and/or supported by the "open" codec configuration accessible by QT 7.
Has the format of mov files been changed?
I don't believe the file container format has changed but security updates and/or Mavericks/Yosemite codec support limitations may fail to recognize or support a particular file container/data compression format combination. Since you have not provided any information regarding the data actually contained in the MOV file, it is impossible to be more specific here. However, in most cases it is possible to use any of the available FFmpegX based transcoding utilities to manually convert unsupported data to file/compression combinations that are compatible with both QT X and QT 7 based apps under any current Mac OS X systems.

1080 60p AVCHD choppy only under Mountain Lion

1080 60p AVCHD .m2ts and .mov video playbacks, using VLC and QuickTime are choppy only under Mountain Lion.
The same videos used to playback smooth with VLC and QuickTime under 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and Sony PMB under BootCamp/XP so my 27" iMac with 12GB RAM and 512MB video RAM is not the problem.
Anyone has a solution to this? I'm thinking about going back to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard via TimeMachine.
Is there a way to assign more RAM to QuickTime, iMovie, VLC, or other media players since out of the 12GB RAM only 160MB was assigned to VLC and QuickTime during playback.
Thanks for your help!

These discussions show that the same video-playback problems started with Lion even on 2011 i7 27" iMac and continues to ML:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16160679#16160679
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3204054?start=0&tstart=0
I'm definitely going back to Snow Leopard and run Mountain Lion from a separate partition only when I need the ML-only Apple eBook app.

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

Safari 6.0 won't Play .m3u8 files under Mountain Lion

I have embedd some streaming video in my web page, but it won't play in Safari 6.0 under Mountain Lion 10.8.1.
The streaming video shows just fine on my iPad 3 and on my iPhone 4, and it shows just fine in Safari 5.1.7 when I boot up under an earlier system version. In 10.8.1, however, all I see is the black "loading" bar, but nothing ever happens.
Any help will be appreciated.

I am getting the same issue.
In the new Mountain Lion update 10.8.2 it says that it fixes safari so that you can have it automatically open safari and it will open all last windows.
I did the update, I don't have that option still under my general settings in safari, when someone else did the update and they have that option to reopen last windows when opening safari...help please

Landscape printing under Mountain Lion?

Is anyone else having trouble printing in landscape mode from Pages under Mountain Lion?
I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the update for Pages. Ever since then, whenever I try to print in landscape mode, the result comes out in portrait mode instead with blank space at the top and the right edge cropped off. I have two different printers — a Xerox Phaser 6250 networked Postscript printer and a Canon Pixma iP3000 shared with printer sharing — and both of them have the same problem.
Right now, my workaround is to preview as PDF, and then print from the Preview app. That works fine. Printing in landscape mode from Safari works fine.
Are other people running Pages under Mountain Lion having this problem, or is there some other factor that I haven't thought of?

Excellent suggestion.
I created a new account, and it does not have the same problem. So that probably means that some setting in my home directory is messed up.
However, I haven't figured out what it is yet. I quit Pages, threw out com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, restarted Pages, printed a sample landscape brochure, and still have the problem. I then quit Pages and threw out several other printing-related preference files like:
com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.Winsor.plist
com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
org.cups.PrintingPrefs.plist
com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.plist
com.apple.print.custompapers.plist
That didn't solve the problem either. Any other suggestions on where to look?

Frontrow under Mountain Lion it works!

A lot of people want frontrow back, which has been removed since LION.
To get Frontrow running under Mountain Lion 10.8.2: here are the instructions that worked on the two macs I tested:
Copy these files from a snow-leopard installation (e.g. your backup) to the appropriate folders in Mountain Lion:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework
Confirm the copy process by typing in your password when required.
Open Apple Script Editor and type in:
#launch Front Row
tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app"
launch
end tell
tell application "System Events"
key code 53
end tell
Save this as an Application. Store the created App in your Application folder end enjoy!
As usual, music files do not play, but all other things work beautiful. This is due to the fact that the actual iTunes Versions use a different Library format.

I just found a similar solution and was coming here to find more info.
To get Front Row to work under LION (not Mountain Lion), the following files were needed (Note: I got this info from elsewhere months ago, but I don't remember where.)
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist
/Applications/Front Row.app
When I updated to Mountain Lion today, all those files were still in place, but the app no longer worked.
BUT... Similarly to what you found, I noticed that if I manually launched the Front Row app that's in
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
It launched the app! - NOT the one that was in my applications folder, but the one in the above directory. Once that was launched, I clicked "ESC" and was in.
- Pretty much the same solution as above, but done manually without the applescript.
HOWEVER, I'm only able to control the app and watch movies with the keyboard. I'd like to control it with the IR remote like before, but that's not working.
Any idea how to enable that?
