Mountain Lion - Apple Care - Wifi - etc.

Despues de bastante tiempo con problemas con la conexion wifi (todas ellas por una actualizacion), despues de numerosas llamadas al servicio tecnico y despues de contratar el AppleCare (170€), sin ningun exito, por fin he conseguido la solucion: Comprar el Mountain Lion (16€). Muchisimas gracias por chuparme la sangre al maximo. Ha sido un placer desembolsar casi 200 € para dar con la solucion a un problema provocado por ustedes. Muchisimas gracias por la estafa.

Not tried to set one up recently, but AppleTV 2 and 3 don't seem to play well with WEP which may be the issue here.

  • Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

    I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep-  I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW  to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever--  this is driving me crazy-  I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
    I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a  time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a  **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

    For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
    Just to be sure  it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end  result is
    SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
    the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
    as it does my macbook pro -- they  BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
    THIS IS SO ANNOYING  ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

  • Mountain Lion/Mavericks 'breaks' wifi base station - Snow Leopard works fine

    Greetings all,
    (Tried this in the OSx forum with no answers, so I figured I'd try the MacMini community and this one.)
    I've been reading my way toward blindness through countless threads, here and elsewhere, from countless people, having problem with Mountain Lion and Wi-Fi these last few days, but some are using Airport, some are using third-party Wi-Fi routers, some aren't really specifying what they're using, so I thought I'd be as specific as possible about my situation - and add the fact that everything is still working fine if I boot into a cloned backup using Snow Leopard.
    ===
    So here's the situation. I have a Intel Mac Mini which I use as a Wi-Fi base station for a Intel PowerBook Pro and an iPod 5. The Mini has been running Snow Leopard, and the PowerBook had been upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago. Things were still working fine at that point - the PowerBook's shift from SL to ML didn't affect its connectivity as a 'receiver' at all. About a week ago however, I finally upgraded the Mini to Mountain Lion as well (so that I could install the current version of Adobe Lightroom) and lost my Wi-Fi Internet access.
    When I turn Wi-Fi on at the PowerBook, the Mini's network is visible, and I get the solid Wi-Fi fan showing a full connection, but I cannot access the Internet (indicated by the exclaimation point inside the fan for the first few seconds). The same is true on the iPod - I get the checkmark showing that I'm connected, but when I try to access any Internet services will get a pop-up box telling me that the Internet is not connected.
    After going through pages and pages and pages of people struggling with similar issues on sites like this, and following suggestions like deleting my preference files, repairing permissions, zapping PRAM, creating new locations, changing IP addresses etc. I got no further. But since I had cloned my hard drive just before the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (thank you SuperDuper), I can reboot into Snow Leopard, and everything still works fine. With that advantage, I copied and re-created EVERY SINGLE preference in the system preferences for Network and Internet sharing* from the Snow Leopard into the Mountain Lion system. (I even went so far as to create a network in Mountain Lion's prefs. with WEP encryption instead of the newer WPA just in case that would make any difference at all.) But even with identical settings on the Mini regardless of booting into Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, Mountain Lion remains the same - no problem connecting with the network, but complete inability to access the Internet. A few days ago, hoping against hope that an upgrade to Mavericks might reset things into some sort of working mode, I tried that - but no better result.
    (*) I note that the wifi heading in the preference panes has changed from "AirPort" in Snow Leopard to "WiFI" in Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but I'm assuming that's just a change Apple made in its terminology to avoid confusion with the external AirPort options.
    I would appreciate any suggestions any of you could give. And I would ask that you specify whether any suggested changes are to be made on the originating Wi-Fi station (in this case the Mini), or the receiver (in this case the MacBook). Many of the threads I've read to date can be confusing simply because they're not specifying on which machine any suggested changes need to be made, and while I'm sure there's nothing that needs to be changed at the MacBook, please specify if I'm wrong.
    Thanks again,

  • Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my home wifi dies for all devices when I bring my MacBook Pro home.

    The situation:
    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the following sequence of events has happened with my laptop.
    1. I come home from work.
    2. I open the lid of my laptop.
    3. I see the white "your comptuer's messed up" screen. I click a button to restart.
    4. We lose wifi. This affects all devices.
    5. I restart the router and modem.
    Once it's restarted, I have no issues - until I leave for work and bring the computer back that night. I've checked the router and modem - no issues there, as it works perfectly for every other device in the house, and even works for the laptop perfectly (once they've been reset, that is).
    Some notes of clarification:
    1. The wifi does not die with any other device - this includes an iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.
    2. BUT, when the wifi DOES die, it affects every device in the house.
    3. My laptop does not do this with any other wifi - only my home wifi.
    It seems to me that the correlation is in the initial connection. When my laptop initially tries to connect to our home wifi, it's as if it fries both the connection and the computer. I see a lot of issues with people losing wifi for their computer, or slow wifi, but I haven't seen anything that relates to this wifi death across all devices when the laptop is reawoken after being at work. It's like there's something messed up with the switch from work wifi to home wifi.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I had a similar issue with Time Machine after upgrading my iMac (where the Time Machine HDD is connected and shared from) to Mountain Lion. This was fixed by following the instruction from this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700. It seems that Mountain Lion introduced a more secure network protocol which may not be supported (yet) by the network drive.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mountain Lion + Safari + My Wife

    The 3 things above do not work well together.
    Here is the short story on EXCESSIVE Hard Drive activity using the 3 items listed above.
    I just purchased another iMac for my wife replacing her prior mid 2010 iMac 21.5.
    One of the reasons is that after upgrading her prior computer to Mountain Lion, she had excessive hard drive activity.
    I had to put her back on 10.7.5 Lion to stop this.
    After purchasing this newer mid 2011 iMac 27 for her, the same thing is happening on her user account using Mountain Lion and Safari.
    Excessive hard drive activity when using Safari. Even after quting Safari the hard drive keeps reading and writing at an excessive rate.
    Something like 5, 10, 20, 40 MB per second read and/or write.
    I migrated my account over to this new machine for a test and I don't have that problem when using Safari on Mountain Lion.
    This tells me that the System does not seem to be the problem.
    It seems to have something to do with her user folder or what she has is Safari.
    So, I deleted almost everything thing she had in Safari including bookmarks, cache, top sites, history, etc.
    Everything but saved names and passwords.
    I refuse to do that as I you would most likely be reading my name in the obituary section of the newspaper.
    (Yes, we do have everything backed up but I still refuse to do that)
    Instead of putting her back on 10.7.5 Lion on this newer iMac, I started having her use FireFox.
    There seems to be no problem now with excessive hard drive activity when using Mountain Lion and FireFox and her user account.
    I also have her entire prior hard drive running Lion 10.7.5. cloned on an external hard drive and it doesn't have any problems when running on the new iMac.
    Bottom Line, can anyone give me any ideas on why Safari might be doing this for her user account only?
    Again, I have tried many things not mentioned here to try and find the cause but have not come up with the answer.
    Activity Monitor and/or Console Logs have not given me any answers unless I'm missing something.
    2 different computers doing the exact same thing only on her account using Mountain Lion and Safari.
    Thinking about calling Tech Support but not sure if Tier 2 or Tier 3 can even give me the answer I am looking for.
    Anyone else called about a similar problem with excessive hard drive activity and got any real fixes?
    iMac 21.5, 10.8.2, 4 GB memory
    iMac 27, 10.8.2, 8 GB memory
    Repaired Permissions (no problems)
    Started in Safe Mode
    Reset SMC
    Reset P-Ram
    Nothing seems to help for her account when using Mountain Lion and Safari

    OK, I might have found the problem.
    After spending about a week on her prior computer and about a week on this newer computer, I may have found the problem.
    I checked the Activity Monitor again and this time the "Dashboard" was taking up 100% of the CPU
    I found a "Widget" in the dashboard that seems to have been either corrupted in transfer or a bad widget.
    I had the same Widget in my user folder but it seemed to be OK as I wasn't having any problems.
    That seems to be why just her user account was affected.
    I removed the Widget on her user account and so far, the Dashboard is only using a percent or two of the CPU processes.
    I will report back if things change.
    I have her back on Safari for the time being.
    Looks like my name won't be in the obituary section of the newspaper, at least for a little while longer, now. 

  • OS X Mountain Lion - Apple mail not displaying images

    Ever since upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, Apple Mail no longer displays images in emails.  I have downloaded and installed the latest Java RTE [it was out of date] - that didn't fix it.  I have tried to reset my Java preferences to their defaults - that didn't fix it.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  If so, have you found a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have exactly the same problem although its not for every email. My email provider is gmail. If I forward an email to someone else, they have no problem viewing the images. Very annoying. Checked with my gmail account and these are not classed as spam.

  • OS X Mountain Lion & Apple TV

    Hi, I have a mid 2011 mac running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I have just purchased an apple tv. I can not get the apple tv icon at the top of my screen but I can get it in itunes.
    My question is, if I pay the $21 to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion will I get the apple tv icon at the top of my screen so I can mirror my mac on my tv?
    Cheers,

  • Mountain Lion - Apple I have been downloading mountain lion for 5 hours now, and its still not processing! This is not good please sort out!

    Ok, I'm now getting really annoyed with downloading Mountain Lion. I left my Mac Book Pro - 6 month old in download mode all night and nothing! I have started again and in 5 hours about 5%!
    What is going on - Apple is this good customer service?

    It could be your Internet connection and not the Apple servers. I downloaded it again (although I already had the GM developer version) over a very slow Internet connection and it took about 3 1/2 hours. You can always pause and then resume the download - Lauchpad will let you know how your download is proceeding.

  • Mountain lion apple mail vanishes mail after reading

    after installing mountain lion, mails in apple mail vanish seconds after being readed

    Sorry. I don't use Exchange, and I don't recognize the symptoms. Certainly, they do not match my experience with Mail in Mountain Lion. Let me ask a few more questions.
    Just to be clear: The messages disappear just after being read, not just after being downloaded? They are visible until you read them?
    Corindagal, if Find sees them in the Inbox, I agree that it's just a display problem. Any chance you are reading through a "smart mailbox" set to show only unread messages? Might your Inbox be sorted by read/unread?
    Also, what mail reader were you using prior to Mountain Lion? Apple's Mail in a previous system? What level?

  • Reinstall Mountain Lion without losing applications etc.

    I am having memory issues with my Mountain Lion.
    I want to remove and reinstall Mountain Lion.  How can i do this without losing all my applications(in app folder and anything of value that should be backed up)?
    I have Time Machine backup but if I did restore, it may restore the problem.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    Once again thanks for your reply.
    What I am noticing is my complete memory is being used up.  I see this within Activity Manager.
    I installed Free Memory program.  It works in freeing memeory but when it is running it causes the machine to be at a stanstill.
    Is there a Mac program that can diagnose activity manager to see what is causing the issue.
    I run Firefox which I know is a memory hog.  It is consuming about 2GB's.  But what I am noticing is my kernel task is consuming huge amounts of memory and CPU processing time.
    I did boot into safe mode and the mem issue seemed to be better. 
    Is there a quick way to see which program is the culprit rather than enabling one program and rebooting at one time.
    is there a way to get into the Kernel_task process and see what is doing?

  • Mountain Lion, Apple TV and computer to computer network

    Hi there,
    I have a second generation Apple TV with the 5.2 software update.
    As per these instructions, I cannot seem to create a computer to computer network which the Apple TV will recognise.
    The computer to computer network I create works because my iPhone can find and connect to it. But the Apple TV cannot even find it.
    I cannot use the Internet Sharing feature because I do not have an Internet connection (or any other network connection) to share from any other input (ethernet, etc) on my Mac.
    What are my options? Thanks!

    Not tried to set one up recently, but AppleTV 2 and 3 don't seem to play well with WEP which may be the issue here.

  • Mountain Lion destroyed my wifi abilities.

    I can no longer share the internet over wifi to other computers, bluray, or iphone after upgrading to moutain lion. I can't even connect iOS devices via wifi to my iMac to use apps like remote. Help?
    My devices can see the connection but after typing in the password say on my iPhone i get the responce "Unable to join _________ "

    You didn't have a working system, you had a system that you thought was working. It was a ticking time bomb ready to explode at the slightest provocation. You need to repair the hard drive with Disk Utility every now and then to prevent such problems from getting to that point. I recommend doing it prior to any system upgrade or update.
    Note that, if you are unable to erase the hard drive and you are trying to do that correctly, the hard drive is probably physically failing and will need to be replaced. If that is the case, there is nothing you could have done to prevent the failure. All hard drives fail at some point.

  • HT1338 After starting to download the Mountain Lion software, my wifi connection was disconnected. When I attached the ethernet cable, the downloading software was gone, and when I tried redoing the process, the app store would not accept the code. What d

    Hey,
    I just tried redeeming my software online. I went through the whole process, got the password, and proceeded to get the software to download. But soon after, the wifi connection was disconnected, and when I tried to connect the ethernet cable, the entire software had disappeared from my launchpad. When I tried to restart the download, it kept saying that the password had already been used before, and that it could only be used once per computer. What do I do now?

    You shouldn't have to re-enter the code, Lion should be on your purchases list so you can re-download it.  In the App Store, click Purchases...  do you see ML there?

  • Can't connect from mavericks (MBP) to mountain lion (MacPro) via Wifi

    i am trying to google for answers to this and i just come up with answers about connections to printers or hdmi or TV's etcetera.
    the problem is that i can connect to my laptop (macbook pro) from my desktop (mac pro) but i can't connect from my laptop (MBP) to my desktop (mac pro). i used to be able to do this but for some reason all i see if "Share Screen" or "Disconnect" and my iCloud Account is listed as "Connected As" but there is no data shown in Finder.
    does anyone know what search terms i can google for or if there is a Settings section that i should be checking?
    i tried dragging the Mac Pro icon out of the Shared section and i tried hitting disconnect as well as restarting both machines and turning off wifi on the laptop (hmmm. maybe i will shut both down at the same time...?) and so far no solutions.
    right now i have to go to the desktop to move files around and this is a major pain.
    i can see the network and i can print...
    THANKS for any help

    hi. thank you. this is really aggravating. i am checking the mac pro this morning (it is the one i cannot access from my laptop) and attached is the screenshot. does this look OK?
    also, i am starting to wonder is it possible that the "Computer Name" has changed itself on the network or is it possible that i have some control over /naming/ the computer? it seems to often be named "MyName Mac Pro (2)" which always bothers me since there is no 1 Mac Pro and i would like to get rid of the appended 2.
    but ALSO i don't recall ever having changed anything in system preferences so i am wondering if somehow the computer renamed itself or something weird has happened.
    finally, is it possible something is amiss with the fact that FINDER says it is connected via my icloud EMAIL account at the top of the Finder window on my Laptop whereas when i check just now on the desktop it shows that i am connnected as the SHORT NAME of my LAPTOP. i mean, when i connec tto the laptop from the desktop it shows me connected as the short name of the laptop but when i connect to the desktop as the laptop - it says i am connnected as the name of my ICLOUD ACCOUNT and i am thinking it should say i am connected as the name of my MAC PRO SHORT NAME.
    you know what i mean? is there a place in the LAPTOP to check where i input what name and password i am connecting to the Mac Pro under...

  • HT1338 Since updating to OSX Mountain Lion my Microsoft Word etc is not working. Why?

    Help with getting Microsoft Software operating

    If your screenname were CHEAPO instead of Cheppo, I would suggest that you purchase Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 from the Apple Store and install it into either Parallels or VMWare Fusion (retail = $79) and be able to continue to run your Microsoft Office 2004.
