Mountain Lion- Apps no longer startup on login, any suggestions?
My lovely new Mountain Lion has a problem, it won't start up automatically any of my applications on login, despite doing for the last 5 years, with all previous OS versions. Any suggestions or is this a bug with Mountain Lion?
You can't search for that file as it is in the hidden user/Library. That's why I told you where to look.
I imagine, now, that you don't know how to view that, so, in the Finder, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu.
The Preferences folder is in there.
However, since you have so many weird problems that seem permission related, I would suggest resetting your home folder permissions.
If that doesn't help, your next step would be to reinstall ML.
One way to tell which one to choose is to log in as another user and see what happens. It is probably best to create a new user, and definitely don't use the Guest user as it will reset everything when you log out.
If a new user works fine, then you should start by resetting home folder permissions.
If a new user shows the same behavior, reinstall ML.

Upgraded to mountain lion and Adobe Flash won't load any suggestions
Upgraded to Mountain Lion 3 days ago. After 30 min determined I needed the newest version of Adobe Flash. After going to the site I attempted to download the lastest version and for a moment it looked as if it was downloading but would never pop up "install". No download appeared either. Going thru the trouble shooting guide I changed my preferences to allow 3rd party cookies and the eliminated all references to "flash" in my library. Still no results. Geez, I have spent 2 hours on this new upgrade and was doing better before. Any help out there.?
Download Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.265. Open the disc image to mount. Double-click on the installer and install Flash.

Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.Hi Jeff,
Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
Hope it goes well,

After installing Mountain Lion, Expose no longer works.
After installing Mountain Lion, Expose no longer works.
Unfortunately the Expose feature as you know it from Snow Leopard was removed by Apple in Lion and Mountain Lion.
You can make all windows for an app 'expose' by putting the cursor on the Dock icon and using a 4-finger swipe-down. -
Mountain lion app not downloading
Just bought the mountain lion app for my macbook 6.1 and it says it is downloading but nothing is actually happening. What do I do?
That's normal. Do you see a loading bar under AppStore on your Dock. As long as there is a loading bar, it eventually moves. If absolutely noothing happens for a half an hour restart your Mac and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

Just to make sure we are on the same page... can you tell me exactly what you mean by this Mountain Lion page?
Within the Mac App Store, it is the page that comes up when I find the Mountain Lion "app" and go to its details. Screen grab added below.
If you notice, it says "Download" and not "$19.99". Given that I haven't yet bought Mountain Lion, it should've showed me the price there I suppose.
Anyway, when I click the Download button, it shows me an error telling me I have to login as my friend's account! Screen grab attached -
How do I find the address -thread - of a file. I used to use spotlight but after switching to Mountain Lion it no longer gives me this.
Hold Command-Option while pointing to an item in the Spotlight list. Or Command-Click will show the item in the Finder.

How to keep finder in mountain lion from opening at startup
How to keep finder in mountain lion from opening at startup.?
Now you got me thinking....
One can set things up so Finder can be quit like any other application. In Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1
Then relaunch the Finder.
I guess it might be possible to make a an Applescript or Automator application which runs at start up and quits the Finder.

Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

Mountain Lion takes a long time to shut down. Much longer then Lion.
Any comments appreciated.

Dragging windows in Mountain Lion apps
I have found that document windows in Preview and TextEdit in Mountain Lion cannot be dragged around if a dialog sheet is open. I haven't tested every Mountain Lion app. Terminal does not have this problem, nor do iTunes or Safari.
So when I go to save, and I expand the save sheet to column view, and the columns extend off the screen, I can't move the document window. This can leave columns and buttons permanently offscreen.
My current workaround is:
- Escape key to cancle the save/open.
- Move the window.
- Retry the save or open and see if the offscreen control or display is now onscreen.
iMac7,1 running 10.8.2.
I also spent a good 15-20 minutes looking for a bug report page instead of using the community discussions to report this.http://bugreport.apple.com/
I wouldn't report it as a bug quite yet, though. Personally, I can't reproduce the issue as you describe it, not in Preview nor in TextEdit. In both cases, when the sheet opens and I choose to expand the window (using the arrow in the top-right; you call it Column view) the sheet expands and, if a side would move off the screen, pushes the whole window further into the display so that the whole sheet appears.
But it sounds odd that your sheets are so broad as to move off the side of the display anyway—have you thought about just resizing them so that they aren't so broad? It's just like resizing any other window.
