Loading BBC Iplayer into Mountain Lion..?

- I used to have BBC iplayer on my Imac when I was using snow leopard but when I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion Ii found that I am unable to re-install BBC iPlayer.
I use firefox and google and the only way around this problem was to go through Parallels and use windows to record and watch iplayer.
Is there something in Mountain Lion that is preventing me from loading Iplayer direct from the BBC website.....??
I beleive the app in itunes is only for the iphone and ipad. I am after the HD quality i can get from the BBC website.

You did not state what error message you are receiving.
Is it possible that installation of the iPlayer is a PowerPC applications and requires Rosetta which can be available in Snow Leopard but has been eliminated from Lion and Mountain Lion (due to the expiration of Apple's license to the underlying technology)?

I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

Getting IntelliType for Microsoft keyboards and/or mice to load at startup in Mountain Lion

To date, Microsoft hasn't fixed the issue with the IntelliType drivers in Mountain Lion so they load by themselves. You have to open the System Preferences and click on the Microsoft Keyboard or Mouse panes to get them to load. The following will eliminate the need to perform these manual steps.
I'd like to give credit to the person who first discovered this, but having found the same text in numerous places, I can't single out the origin.
Navigate to the folder /Library/PreferencePanes/ of the startup drive
Right click on Microsoft Mouse.prefpane for mice, Microsoft Keyboard.prefPane for keyboards
From the resulting contextual menu, select Show Package Contents
Navigate down to Contents > Resources
Leave the Resources folder open on the desktop and open the System Preferences
Select Users & Groups
Click on your user account and then the Login Items tab
Go back to the Resources folder on the desktop, select the file MicrosoftMouseHelper or MicrosoftKeyboardHelper, then drag and drop it into the Login Items window on the right hand side of the Login Items page (in the System Preferences window).
In the sample below, I added the keyboard helper.
Repeat the steps if you added the keyboard helper and also need the mouse helper.
Now when you restart or start up your Mac, these helpers will load automatically.
For users wondering if this is some sort of hack, it is not. If you've used IntelliType in Lion, Snow Leopard, or other previous versions of OS X, you'll see that MicrosoftMouseHelper and/or MicrosoftKeyboardHelper are in the user account Login Items. What's probably happening is security changes in Mountain Lion, such as sandboxing, are preventing these Login Items from being added during installation. So all you're doing is manually completing a step the IntelliType installer is failing at.

how you found this solution is beyond me as i did google a few days ago and found nothing.
I've looked numerous times, also. Must have gotten the right keywords this time.
What symptoms will a poster have if this is the problem?
I can't speak for users of the mouse panel, but if you're using one of the Microsoft keyboards the drivers are for, your keyboard won't be completely functional. Among the problems:
1) The keyboard will remain mapped for a PC. The Alt (Option) key is next to the spacebar and will stay there, which means the Windows logo key will respond as the Command key, which is between Alt and Ctrl. To the right of the spacebar, the Alt key will again be Option, but the menu key between that and the right Ctrl key won't do anything you expect. To say the least, not having the Command key in its normal Mac position is a real pain.
2) None of the other special keys will work, like the entire string of silver keys across the top of the 4000.
gave you credit and pointed back to this for ya. great guy.
Thanks! I hadn't seen that site before. Looks like a person could spend days there. I'll have to bookmark that one.
A secondary note: For users wondering if this is some sort of hack, it is not. If you've used IntelliType in Lion, Snow Leopard, or other previous versions of OS X, you'll see that MicrosoftMouseHelper and/or MicrosoftKeyboardHelper are in the user account Login Items.

Cannot boot into mountain lion after I have set the start volume to CD drive

Previously I need to boot from CD so I have set the start volume to CD drive by pressing command+option+P+R at the same time and change the start up volume to CD drive.
But right now, it can just start from CD but cannot boot into Mac OS (Mountain Lion) which is installed in the hard disk.
I have tried to press command+option+P+R at teh same time during bootup but seems like right now it doesn't recognize this command. I have tried pressing "X" or "option" or spacebar, etc during bootup but still it tries to boot from CD.
Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
I have even disassembled my iMac and the CD drive to remove the previous CD as well. Then it still tries to boot from CD drive but now saying the device is not bootable and ask me to insert a bootup disk. I then tried to put the Mountain lion installation DVD (I previously created the installation DVD by following the DIY way from this link http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/) there in the drive but it still said the device is not bootable.
I have disassembled my iMac again to remove the mountain lion disk right now. So the CD drive is now empty. Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
This is really frustrating .. Hope someone can help.
thanks!

Old emails won't load after upgrade to Mountain Lion

old emails won't load after upgrade to Mountain Lion

See if anything in here will fix it:
1. Hold down the Command and Option keys as you click the iPhoto icon.
The Photo Library First Aid window opens:

HT2020 Can iChat and iMessage interface at all or do I have to load iChat on my Mountain Lion to set up a chat session with iChat?

My senior parents have iChat. I have iMessage. I want to help them remotely and want to share screens. Can that be done?

Oh, you wanted the How as well ?
(You didn't actually ask that)
Both you and your parent need to be on the same Messaging service (it comes down to using AIM or Jabber).
Lets presume you are using an Apple ID in Messages that is from an iCloud registration (@me.com or @icloud.com ending name).
You would need to enter this name (Again) As it is a Valid AIM Name in the Preferences as an AIM Account (Press the + button then chose AIM in the drop down)
If they are using AIM already then just add each other to each others Buddy lists.
If you both happen to have Gmail Accounts then your could Enable "Talk" on your Google Settings then add your proper Gmail ID and chose GoogleTalk in the Accounts > + button > Add account pane
You have to enter your Google ID as it appears on the Web Mail Page (The Apple Mail app will accept @gmail.com or @googlemail.com and fetch your mail but iChat and Messages needs it to be just so).
If you both have Facebook accounts then Enable "Chat" on your Facebook Setting and Add this as a Jabber ID
NOTES.
Certain Apple IDs are valid Screen Names (@mac.com @me.com and @iCloud.com) but some of these if registered via iCloud will not work in iChat version earlier than iChat 6.
This is due to the way iChat 6 and Messages logs in to me.com as well as a security check on looking at the password.

How to log into Mountain Lion if the FileVault user can't unlock the drive?

I have a computer that has the FileVault user not able to decrypt the drive. I've read on how to get into the machine and have successfully done so a few times. This has been accomplished by creating a new Admin user, deleting the original user, recreating it as a clean new user. Each time I give the computer back to the owner and he tries to restore from a backup. The problem is, he restores and it creates the same problem.
The most recent time he did this, I could not for the life of me figure out how to create a new user. When I try to log in as the FileVault user I get the "unable to log into filevault user account at this time" error.
The only way I could figure out how to get another admin user created so that I could delete his user was to reinstall the OS. Is that the only way this can be done?

I don't think Verizon will release the username and password to the camera administration to prevent people from doing what you want to do.
Even if you have the username / password, I would imagine there is a hefty equipment charge if you don't return the camera, which will make it cheaper to just buy a camera in retail stores.

IMac not connecting to network when booted into Mountain Lion Installation Partition

Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

Missing files from mountain lion software.

I have lost some files for mountain lion and don't have enough space to download it. I have backed up my files. If I changed my hard drive capacity will I be able to download the software?

Wow... quick responses. After a LONG time and alot of troubleshooting, I have determined that my firwire ports are not working. This is the process I went through to determine this.
Was running Mountain Lion and using Target Disk Mode to try and copy some files to another computer. Plugged my computer (running in TDM) into another computer and found that my HD wouldn't show up. Rebooted my computer and noticed that it wouldn't boot into Mountain Lion. It would sit on the Apple Logo with a spinning gear. After a while of trying to troubleshoot the problem, I then tried reinstalling Mountain Lion on a different HD (removed my internal one and replaced it with another one - the one I'm using currently, so I know it works). I restored the Mountain Lion InstallESD.dmg image file to an external HD and tried booting from it. Upon trying to boot from the external drive, I too found that I was getting the Apple with Spinning Gear. Tried to boot to Lion and got the same thing. I then tried to install Snow Leopard and after a long time, it did install, but took a LONG TIME to boot up. Once it booted, I checked in the System Profiler and found that my firewire ports were not working (driver wasn't loading or something the like - I don't remember the exact error code). I then deleted the firewire kext files as many others have done, and boom, it was very fast.
This brings me back to my original question. How would I remove the firewire kext files from the InstallESD.dmg file so that I can boot into Mountiain Lion? Once I am able to install the OS, I will then delete the kext files in single user mode.
I should also mention that I have found the BaseSystem.dmg file and am currently trying to create a copy of it without the kext files. I guess the problem I am having is getting my computer to boot using the modified BaseSystem.dmg file located in the InstallESD.dmg file.
Thanks again to all of you that responded so quickly.

Cannot Fresh Install Mountain Lion on SSD

Hi I am new to macs and the first thing I want to do on my mac is install the Mac OSX onto my old SSD from my Windows machine. I have been having great difficulty so far! I created the mac osx dvd following the instructions here. I then took out my old HDD and put in the old SSD, I loaded up from the macosx dvd i created. I then erased the ssd drive as mac extended journal. I then installed the OS. It seemed to work, I loaded up mac osx mountain lion and logged in.
The only thing was that whatever you did on the screen made the spinning thinking wheel appear for far too long. Even opening the finder windows took a while.
I thought the fresh install must have gone funny so I just went through the process gain and tried to install mac osx again. Now I cannot even get the installer to finish! It just stops and says its failed. I have tried wiping the drive again and starting again but now every time the installer fails. Like the first time I tried to install it somehow left some damage or mess behind. Well I hope its not the SSD that is faulty I tested it by plugging it in to another computer with a hard drive docking thing. It seemed to read and write fine!?
I am very confused, could it be a dodgy dvd? I burned it and it seems to work fine, burned it straight from the download so could the download be corrupted?
Its a pain as they are dual layered DVDS and cost a fair amount! Its so frustrating as its my new mac and I just want to get it up and running and do some editing I thought it would all run smoothly, what with it being Mac and all.. :-(
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Hmm... it seems as if you went through the correct procedures... here's what I'd do, though...
Buy an inexpensive enclosure for your 'old' hard drive (OWC is a good source) and keep the SSD installed in your MBP. Boot from the 'old' drive.
Use Disk Utility to reformat the SSD - format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to the SSD. You'll have the option of creating the Recovery partition - do so.
Beofre rebooting, choose the SSD as your Startup Disk under System Preferences. Then reboot. You should boot into your (speedy) SSD now.
Let me know if this doesn't work.

BTW: I prefer creating a USB flash drive (8GB+) as a bootable installaton drive rather than a DVD. I've made quite a few of them using Lion DiskMaker (similar process that you describe - just automated).

Moving Logic 9.7.1 to Mountain lion

Hi,
I was just about to purchase a Mac Mini Server with Lion for running Logic projects, and then noticed over the last few days they have updraded to Mountain Lion.
I know that so far my Audio unit isn't tested (Inspire 1394), and I might have problems with some other plug-ins. But the thing that concerns me most is that I have read reports that people are having problems loading Logic 9.7.1 (which I am currently running on Snow Leopard), into Mountain Lion. Apparently you are asked for the original key which I don't have. I do have the upgrade to Logis Studio disks.
I'm a litlle confused: Anyone have problems moving their Logic 9.7.1 to Mountain Lion on a new machine?
**I did ask a similar question a while ago regarding moving to Lion, but this time I have no choice but to upgrade now as my current system is really creaking, and I think the Mac mini server is perfect for my needs.

I'm between projects so I went ahead and purchased the Mac Mini Server. It actually came (within two days) loaded with Lion not Mountain Lion.
I'm keeping my Macbook Pro around for a while just in case.
Set it up with monitor OK. The wireless keyboard and my mouse were picked up pretty quickly.
Loaded in my Logic Studio upgrade disk, and right away it asked for my serial number. I typed this in and then it asked for my old serial number or key, which I don't have. I called Apple and they asked for proof of purchase from the old version. I explained that this was from many years ago (2005) and I didn't have any records. Apple settled for proof of purchase from the upgrade. Luckily I'd saved these details online. Apple then gave me a new serial number and I was in. At first the disk was rejected for some reason, but another try and it worked all loaded. The demo song wouldn't play at first, but worked after a software update.
So far everything works. The only problem is that I can't locate some third party loops from in my Macbook Pro I have purchased, and Logic has crashed while going through some of the samples I've copied over.
I'm doing a proper test run today, so will report back with any problems.
Thanks.

How do I uninstall mountain lion and go back to lion, how do I uninstall mountain lion and go back to lion

Please help!!! I dont like it!

The installer may do squirrelly things in an upgrade like nip and tuck the code, turning Lion into Mountain Lion. The best option is to do a fresh install. Do a Time Machine backup of your files (you can probably exclude the system folder and apps - just download them again from the App Store). Concentrate on your home folder - iTunes files, your library folder, iPhoto library, etc. Re-download Mountain Lion from the App Store. If the installer starts, quit the app. Now go to your Application folder and find the Mountain Lion installer. View the contents of the package and go to Contents:SharedSupport:InstallESD.dmg. Drag the .dmg file to your desktop or someplace else convenient. Next, open Disk Utility and burn the disk image to an 8 GB DVD or flash drive. If you burn it to a flash drive, you may get an error saying the burn failed. If it burned for a while, long enough for the image to actually copy over, ignore it. Reboot your Mac whole holding down the Option key with the flash drive in a USB port or DVD in the drive. You should get the option to boot from that drive. Select the Mountain Lion DVD/USB option to test the boot. You can then either continue the installation or quit the installer until you're ready.
If you purchased Lion from the App Store previously, there doesn't seem to be a way to download Lion within Mountain Lion. You may have a friend with either Lion or a newer Mac with Snow Leopard installed, if so, you may want to login to their App Store, download it, and try to install Lion that way. If you bought your Mac with Lion preinstalled, you won't be able to download Lion at all.
