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!
Kiel

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.

"OSX Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."

I bought a MacBook Pro (13" retina display) today. Tried to update software. Error mesage said to ujpdate OS. When I tried to, error message said, "OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

All owners of the model seem to have the same problem. Presently there is no 10.8.2 updater for your model. The previous updater has been pulled. Wait a while and one will show up when Apple gets it fixed.

When attempting to install OS X Mountain Lion I get the following error message "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Any idea what the issue might be?

Which Mac??????
iMac, MacBook Pro, Mini,, what?
Go up to the Apple icon on the upper left hand corner of your screen (menu bar).
Click that, and then "More Info". and then "More Info" again.
What does it say? Here's what mine says:

Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer

When will I be able to upgrade my Mac Pro to Mountain Lion:
2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Memory 13gb 667 MHz DR2 FB-DIMM, 64GB free disk (system), 1TB free other disks, computer age mid 2007, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
As of 11/28/12: Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.

I installed Windows 8 Pro on a PC, quickly shutdown and walked it over to my Mac Pro 1,1.
5365s are 8-core and Geekbench in the 8000 pts range.
An apple 2010 refurbished is $1800 also, old 4-core 2.8 but can upgrade easily to W3680 6-core 3.33
I agree running native beats running VM
The issue with getting Windows 64-bit onto 32-bit firmware is just the install phase but a real pain. 64-bit Windows requires, if the system is EFI based. I do have one PC that does use UEFI and Windows 8, another that does not. Both are 2008-9 motherboards (Intel which supports UEFI, and Gigabyte which did not with X58). Apple of course last updated our EFI 1,1 and 2,1 back in 2007. Before UEFI was done standardized etc.

Mountain lion download wont work on my computer..why?

i have the mac book version 5.2 i think, the white one before the macbook now. i have snow leopard currently running on my mac, and i went into the app store and clicked to buy the mountain lion, and it said " OX S mountain lion is not compatabile with your computer" ... i meet all the requirements for the installation of it, why wont it work?

No, it's not too old. A MacBook 5.2 is a MacBook introduced in early 2009, so, it should be capable.

I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion but when I click 'buy' I get the message, "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I'm using an iMac with Lion OS on it, Why is it incompatible?

Your Mac must be one of the following models:

MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

HT1338 why do I get this message: We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.

Whwn Purchasing Mountain Lion, why do I get this message: We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer. Currently I have Mac OS 10.7.4

because you mac does not meet the technical requirements to run Mountain Lion.

Ap store says "we could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer". I'm running 10.6.8 duel core intel with 15gb of memory. Any ideas on why I can't download?

Thanks.

If the OP has this much RAM in their iMac, certain this Mac can run Mountain Lion.
The reason it might not be installing is that 15 GBs of RAM.
Your iMac should have (4) equal sized, 4 GB sticks of RAM for a total of 16 GBs.l
If your iMac is only reporting that there is only 15 GBs of RAM, you have a RAM stick that is either not seated in its slot properly or is defective/going bad.
This maybe the reason that it won't download it.
Also could be you are running out of free space on your HD.
You need, at least 15-20 % or greater free space left on your HD.
