Mail and iPhoto not working well with Mountain Lion..

Is it true that Mountain Lion has been a big disappointment?
I am helping a friend with his computer and what it is doing is NOT normal. He has Mountain Lion, I have read not very nice reviews. Mail and iPhoto are not comunicating properly; 'sleep mode' takes forever  and other small bugs that I am not used to having with a Mac. Any advice? Thanks!

Any advice?
Sure. Here's some advice. If you have a question ask it. Give detail. Explain what the problem or issue actually is. Don't editorialise, just ask the question.

  • Link between mail and iPhoto not working

    When I touched the photo browser link in Mail I used to open a direct link to iPhoto and Aperture so that I could quickly add a photo to my message.  I failed when I tried to email photos directly from iPhoto so I fiddled with my accounts and now the link between the photo browser in Mail and my photo apps is broken.  Any suggestions as to how I can reset the system/programs to communicate with one another.

  • Drag and Drop not working in iTunes (Mountain Lion)

    Hello,
    Earlier today the drag and drop function in iTunes stopped working.
    It was working yesterday and this morning, but no longer.
    I have not updated any software in a few days, but I did install
    JAVA 7 right before it stopped working. I have since deleted the Java 7 files
    in Library necessary for ridding my computer of it.
    Drag and drop is still fully functional in Finder, Mail, etc
    It seems to be broken only in iTunes.
    I don't have any clue why this has happened.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    iTunes 10.7 (21) 64bit
    Mac OS X 10.8.2

    Does anybody have any ideas?
    I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
    but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
    impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
    Thanks!

  • Pages not working well since Mountain Lion installed.

    Since installing Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, Pages constantly freezes, and I have to force a quit, followed be restarting the computer - sometimes twice or thrice. I've never had to do that before, and it is very frustrating. Even today I turned on the computer, went to launch a simple document that I've viewed many times in the past, and instead of opening, I have to force a quit again! Any ideas?

    I saw on another post yesterday that Apple is aware of this and should have it fixed by October 2013.  In the meantime, my drive's going back to Apple for a refund today.  Thank God it's still under warranty!  Hope nothing else on my iMac crashed.  Haven't seen anything.  I've switched everything to apple - phone, ipod, iMac.  Wish I would have gotten another pc and stayed with my Droid.

  • New FocusTraversalPolicy Mechanism Does Not Work Well With OO Designs

    I would like to complain about the new focus traversal mechanism not working well with object-oriented GUI designs.
    Specifically, we have many reusable panel classes that can be swapped in and out of reusable dialog classes. On some of these panels, the default focus traversal is not what is desirable, perhaps because one component on the right side of the window is just slightly higher than a component on the left side, maybe due to the component on the right having a label on top, and so the default focus goes to the component on the right instead of the left. So we have a need to be able to explicitly define the order of components in some panels.
    If I try to define a focus traversal policy in the panel's constructor, a NullPointerException is thrown because the panel's focus cycle root is null (the panel has not been added to any dialog or frame yet).
    If I try to associate a focus traversal policy at the dialog level, it would have to explicitly reference its child panels' inner components, which would break the encapsulation of the panels. It would also make it hard to have generic dialog classes into which various reusable panel objects can be swapped.
    Someone suggested making each panel a focus cycle root. This makes it hard to "break out" of one panel to move on to the next panel in the dialog. Special keys would have to be assigned to try to cycle out, and these keys would have to be different than the normal traversal keys, making them inconsistent and nonintuitive to the user. Also, the focus policy would have to know if the dialog had more than one panel, what order the panels were in to know whether to cycle to the next panel or not, etc. This is a mess.
    Does anyone have any idea how to get around these problems? I have tried using a global focus policy with a global hash map of prev/next component key-value pairs, but we are still running into trouble with some deeply nested tabbed dialogs. It's just not possible to always have the focus cycle root in existence at the point where you want to explicitly define traversal between two components, or when you are trying to establish the default component for a panel in a tabbed pane.
    Has anyone else run into similar issues?

    I agree completely. One of the popular consultants on this forum stated that the new focus mechanism was more versatile and only a little more complex. I would say it's more than a little complex given the trouble average programmers are having understanding how it works...at least at first...and after understanding it realizing that they are going to have type their fingers off to update their code. Oh, and the dread of maintaining this awful mess.
    I'm currently having the same problem as you Robbie. Some of my reusable panels need special tab ordering...that's not usually a problem, in most programming environments, till now. Now I have to go around the world and back just to get my stupid cursor to be in the right place when I hit the tab key??!!! and special key mappings just to get out of a focus cycle...lame.
    And how is an IDE graphical designer going to work with this? It's not, that's how...ok maybe if some kind person or company creates a custom focus traversal policy editor of some kind, I don't know.
    Good grief Sun! We need something to help us meet our deadlines, not solutions that force us to spend 80% of our time customizing every stinking bit of UI functionality we need!!!
    JTables are even worse. I've mastered most of the garbage that is JTable after many months of pain and I don't know how I'm going to help my peers understand them in any short amount of time. Most of them were Oracle Forms programmers, not that that is any great solution either. But they will likely have problems.
    In conclusion, I wish I had chosen another UI technology for our new product client, and may yet.

  • Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...

    Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

  • How do I know if this update is appropriate for Windows Vista? I have done updates before, only to discover that they did not work well with Vista.

    I keep getting a message that I need to update to firefox version 7. I can't find any information to help me know if this version is compatible with Vista. I did an "automatic" update in the past, and needed to uninstall it because it did not work well with Vista. firefox is not giving me any info regarding this - it just says install it.

  • Since I downloaded the upgraded software, my charger that came with my phone says "this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone"  It worked before but now it doesn't...I don't think I should have to buy a new one...

    since I upgraded to the new operating system my charger no longer works...
    It says"this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone"

    Try checking your cable socket/lightning cable for dirt, grime, pocket lint, etc. I could not find the solution to this issue myself and after much searching I found someone stating that cleaning this out helped them immensely.
    After taking a wooden toothpick (making sure the phone was OFF first) and gently clearing out the edges and inside of the lightning socket this went away.) It is worth noting that I had a significant amount of dust or lint buildup along the edge rails which I think was causing the iphone to believe it was plugged into something when it was not.
    Try it and see, ensure you are very careful and do not use any conductive tools to clean the area in question. Compressed air also does wonders here.

  • HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

    Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
    When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
    Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
    Thanks,

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • After updating to ios 7.0.6 i keep getting an error message saying "this cable or accessory is not certified and will not work reliably with this iphone" every two minutes and its annoying

    What is up with this error message after updating saying our cables are not reliable?

    Thank you for this suggestion, but the message continues to display every couple of minutes. (e.g. "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone.)
    Not only is it annoying and concerning...this is draining my battery, as the iPhone keeps waking up to display the message over and over. Like "MartinLegodi" above, I also have no cable or accessory plugged in and only use Apple cable and products when I do.
    It's a disconcerting mystery.

  • Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

    Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

    I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

    plzz i think i opened a hacked internet page and now notting works well autocad stopped working and firefox as well ........could mac os be virused??

    There are no Mac viruses, only malware that requires your assistance to get installed.  For more on this, see:

    As to your problem, we can't say what might have happened without more information.  Try restarting your computer, and if that doesn't help, we need to know what you saw and what's happening now in greater detail.

  • Reoccurring warning, literally every 20 seconds: "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone." I am only using Apple devices. How can I eliminate the warning?

    Please help me eliminate this repeating warning message on my iPhone 5. It occurs several times a minute. I am only using Apple devices, so the warning is in error.  "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone."

    The cable may be damaged. Try another cable.
    Make sure it properly connected at both ends.

    This is an incredibly stupid move by Apple. Nobody could convince me that it's about security and safety...
    I bought two Lightning to 30-pin Adapters to use my two 4s chargers with my 5s iPhone.

    This is just a piece of metal and plastic. It's ridiculous.
    Apple, please remove this ridiculous software. I also have a car charger. Should I just throw them away because I paid a bunch of money for your new device? That's how you reward loyalty?!!
