Mail doesn't work in Mountain Lion

After upgrading Lion to Mountaun Lion, first start of Mail is fail. It porpose me updaiting the Mail database and ask few minutes for that, but still is about 4 or 5 hours with internet working and do nothing. I shut down it, and start it a lot of time and restart my Mac, but problem is not solve. Please, help, how I can come back it alive

Working without any backup is EXTREMELY risky and extremely foolish, there are no excuses. All you need is an external HD and you can at least use Time Machine. Good luck however I think you will need to start over, unfortunately I believe you are also about to learn a difficult lesson on why backing up is crucial.
Good luck though.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

Adesso wireless mouse doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

My Bluetooth Adesso iMouse S100 doesn't work in Mountain Lion. It barely moves and constantly halts as if its driver is continuously interrupted. It is unusable. It worked beautifully in Snow Leopard.
I don't believe the problem is in the mouse, but just for completeness the batteries are full strength. The Bluetooth control panel signal strength for the mouse ranges from -50 to -48, which may be low but I'm pretty sure was the same in Snow Leopard.
Has anyone experienced and have a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

A mouse pad solved the problem. The Ikea Lack table I'm using is the source of the problem. Its table top surface is apparently scattering the mouse's laser and not reflecting it back properly. I have not experienced this problem with any other table I've used, wood, Formica, et al.

Speak Sender Name Only AppleScript in Mail No Longer Working In Mountain Lion

Hi all, the title pretty much says it all.
I have a very simple AppleScript that I use as a rule in Apple Mail everytime new email comes in.
This AppleScript will speak only the sender's name. That's all I want it to say.
I there are two emails, it will say, "Mail From John Smith" followed closely by "Mail From Johnny Appletree", etc.
This works great in Lion as a Mail rule.
I have properly placed this AppleScript in the correct path for Mail scripts.
It's located in:
(user name)/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail
I've popped in the sample script provided by Apple into this same path that speaks the total number of selected emails, the name and the subject, etc. That works fine, so I'm positive the path is correct. But that script says a bunch of items I don't need. I just need a simple script and I'm guessing somehow the conversion from Lion to Mountain Lion doesn't work for some reason with this script.
Anyone know how to modify this supposedly simple script to make it work in Mountain Lion?
Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
Here is the script I had been using in Lion as a Mail rule without any issues before Mountain Lion:
on perform_mail_action(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
          set itunes_playing to false
          tell application "System Events"
                    if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
                              set itunes_playing to false
                    else
                              tell application "iTunes"
                                        if player state is playing then set itunes_playing to true
                              end tell
                    end if
          end tell
-- pause iTunes if needed
          if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to pause
          tell application "Mail"
                    set the_messages to |SelectedMessages| of info
                    repeat with a_message in the_messages
                              set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
                              if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
                                        say "Mail from " & the_sender
                              end if
                    end repeat
          end tell
-- resume iTunes if it was playing before
          if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to play
end perform_mail_action

Hi,
This script should work, try it :
using terms from application "Mail"
      on perform mail action with messages theselectedMessages
            tell application "iTunes" -- this doesn launch Tunes if iTunes is not running
                  set itunes_playing to running and player state is playing -- see if iTunes is playing
                  if itunes_playing then pause -- pause iTunes if needed
            end tell
            tell application "Mail"
                  repeat with a_message in theselectedMessages
                        set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
                        if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
                              tell me to say "Mail from " & the_sender
                        end if
                  end repeat
            end tell
            -- resume iTunes if it was playing before
            if itunes_playing then tell application "iTunes" to play
      end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

Canon CAPT 355 doesn't work for Mountain Lion

SInce I installed Mountain Lion onto my MacBookPro I can't print to my Canon LBP5050N. I've install CAPT 355 that Canon claims will work for Mountain Lion but it doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling all my older driver and installing CAPT 355 but that doesn't work either.

The ccpd.conf file is still
# Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS Configuration Data
<Path>
# CUPS configuration files Path
# Default /
CUPS_ConfigPath /
# LOG Directory Path
#LogDirectoryPath /var/log/CCPD/
</Path>
# Printer entries
# Mapping each "Printer-Name" to "Printer Device Port".
# The "Printer-Name" has to be identical to the CUPS printer queue name.
# For example, if you prepare a printer named "LBP3200" as a CUPS printer
# queue name, and the printer is connected to the USB port "/dev/usb/lp0",
# you can use the following three lines example just by removing the

#<Printer LBP3200>

# Default PORT 59787
UI_Port 59787
</Ports>
# Backend Data API socket port

I've tried putting in
<Printer Canon_LBP5050N>
DevicePath lpd://192.168.1.152
</Printer>
manually but no success in getting the results. I've even tried changing the preference file org.cups.printers to include
<string>cnbma://localhost:59687/</string>

Four finger swiping between spaces doesn't work in Mountain Lion

I have my magic trackpad settings to include 3 finger dragging which means that activating Mission Control, or swiping between full screen apps and spaces requires 4 fingers. I have a MBP running Mountain Lion and it works fine, but on a MBA connected to a thunderbolt display and using a magic trackpad, it doesn't work. I can 4 finger swipe for Mission Control, but I cannot swipe between full screen apps and spaces using 4 fingers. The only way it will work is to disable the 3 finger drag, and set it to use 3 finger swipes for moving between full screen apps and spaces.
Am I missing something? I don't think so.

I already have that checked. All settings are correct. The weird thing is, that with those settings turned on, four finger swiping reacts like 2 finger swiping, except for engaging Mission Control. So, on a properly working machine, no matter what app is open, four finger swiping left to right will take me between spaces. BUT, on this machine four finger swiping left to right over a browser will make the browser pages go back and forth. I have all the settings set exactly like all my other Macs. It's only this one machine that is using the magic trackpad that is not working correctly.
New batteries are installed, and I have no other issues with the trackpad. It seems like a software bug. This MBA does have FileVault turned on. I'm wondering if that's an issue.

Mobile Datastick HUAWEI E1221 doesn't work with Mountain Lion!

After updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I have noticed that my mobile datastick doesn't work. The stick is recognized as virtual disc and I can only install the install.pkg. Then happens nothing. No window opens (as before). How can I connect to the internet now? Will there be new drivers for the E1221 or do I have to get another one? And if yes, which is supported by 10.8?

Hover event doesn't work on mountain lion

I just upgraded to mountain lion and have one MAJOR issue. Any hover event doesn't work.
This includes the dock animations, hover on context menus, buttons in certain apps (noticable in minecraft a lot, so it affects java), and hot corners don't work either.
Anyone else experience this issue and have it solved?
I tried resetting the PRAM and it fixed it, for like 5 minutes, so not a great fix.

I tore my hair out over the same issue. Based on SaitoLux's suggestion, I decided to try deleting and reinstalling the prefs panel for my Logitech mice (Logitech Control Center).
Success!
If you've got this problem and you have a non-Apple mouse driver installed, try deleting and reinstalling. Can't explain why it worked, but happy it did.

Airport Express doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion and now my airport express doesn't work as a way to play itunes through another set of speakers.
Not only that... but the airport utility doesn't support my airport express.
Time Machine doesn't work either....
I want my snow leopard back!!!
Any insight????

I understand that Airport Utility 5.6 must be used to configure it... but that being an older version... I can't install it with the new OS... RRRGGGGGHHHH Mountain Lion!!! I'm not liking the switch at all. I've spent more time fixing problems with this ... how can I go back???

Safari doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I have installed OS X Mountain Lion. Now Safari and Apple Store doesn't work anymore. :-( What can I do? I've tried to Install Safari again but the problem is always the same!

Generally this will solve it, you can also try repairing permissions, once in a while it will help as well:
Repair your permissions. Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box. Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen. Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.

Isight doesn't work with mountain lion

Hi, I recently upgrade my Macbook Pro to mountain lion, but, my Isight camera doesn't work. Neither, Photo booth or face time recognize it.
Did I miss something during installation? Does it have solution?
thanks for the help.

Hi, I have probably the same or related problem.
After I made the upgrade to 10.8, the camera (integrated iSight) started making problems.
When I log out or restart, everything works (PhotoBooth, Skype), but after a couple of days running
the integrated iSight can not be accessed any more. Skype and PhotoBooth say "no camera".
About my configuration:
I have a 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2009, 2.53GHz with Nvidia 9400M 256MB RAM.
I hope the coming update 10.8.2 will fix it.
This is the my first time, where after an upgrade something stops working.
I would almost say, this must related to Sleep/Resume because I never shut down my notebook,
except for calibrating the battery.

Stand-by button on Cinema HD display doesn't work after Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi,
After I upgraded my Mac mini (spring '09) to Mountain Lion it appears that the buttons on the side of my Cinema HD display doesn't work. There is a setting in sys preferences that should put the Mac in stand-by when the power button is pressed. This doesn't work after I upgraded to OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have similar experience. Anyway to fix it?
Thanks,
Henrik
