Mountain Lion appears to break VNC connection to a headless mac mini.
I connect to my headless mac mini with VNC. Under lion this worked perfectly. With Mountain Lion on my mac mini I can connect but many windows do not update properly. If I connect an external display to the mac mini all is well again. Any solutions?
I use splashtop.
Able to reach iPad resolution when i connect to my iPad, when the splashtop session ends, it drops back to 800x600.
Maybe you could try it out and see if splashtop helps expand to 2560 x 1600.

Just trying to stream music from my iphone to my mac mini speakers. Any way I can do that in a similar way that I can do it via applte tv?
No.
Since all music on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on the Mini if that is the Mac you sync your iPhone with, play the music from iTunes on your Mini through the Mini speakers. If the music is in your iTunes library on another Mac, set up Home sharing to play the music in your iTunes library on another Mac with iTunes on your Mini. -

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server
I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
MikeMany users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

While downloading Mountain Lion I was asked to connect my maol account to the cloud. I did so. Mtn Lion was installed successfully. When I openned my mail all of the sub-folders I had created are gone along with the emails in them. How can I restore them or does the cloud wipe them out. Thanks
You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed. When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
Hope this helps -
I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you purchase Mountain Lion, you can install it as many times as you want on all your computers for free. To install it on the desktop, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download OS X Mountain Lion.
Another option is to redownload it on the MacBook, put the installer onto a USB drive and connect it to the desktop in order to upgrade -
Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
ThanksIt would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.
Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
hard drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time. -

VNC on headless Mac Mini challenges
I have researched this on various forums and have not found a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a headless Mac mini on my LAN. If a monitor is physically attached, and on I can VNC to the mini and have control of the desktop. If the monitor is disconnected, then when I VNC to the mini a connection is established, I see the desktop, but there is no control. There might be an active window hiding just about off screen. You can try and grab and move it. But you cannot move it back to the center. You can try and do a restart or shut down remotely but the command does not work.
Any thoughts?Your correct, it's definitely a software issue. It has something to do with how ARD display after the login window. A bug somewhere...anyhow, this isn't an ultimate fix, but it does work for me.
After logging in with ARD and getting your garbled screen, SSH into your server and kickstart your ARD client. This is what I run:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users sadmin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu
Yours might differ (at least your -users might). Here's an Apple article of various commands... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108030
Hope this helps.

Connecting Logitech Z5500 to Mac Mini or to Airport?
All,
I have this cable on order (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002JFN1A/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1) to connect my Logitech Z-5500 to my system.
Should I connect it to my Mac Mini, or to my Airport Time Capsule?
Airport: I can stream media from other devices
Mini: Avoid any lag for audio and video with FaceTime, etc.?
Maybe 6 of one, half dozen of another, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks!ok, my problem is solved ... I was able to get the display up by unplugging the hdmi cable from the mac mini, then letting it boot up, then plugging the cable back in ... finally could see the desktop, then reset my display settings to get rid of underscanning - which I had set up the day before so I could see my top menu bar - then set my tv's aspect adjustment to HD Size 2 (which had the same effect as underscanning ... and now I get the display up when start my mac mini ... however, I do notice some fine granularity in my display now (when white windows are opened for example), but I'll deal with that later if it's a real problem ... took hours of research to figure this out ... phew ...
