Mountain Lion Compatibility question?

Hi,
I'm considering getting the Mountain Lion OS, more out of curiosity than actually really needing any of the new features to be honest. I assume that there won't be any compatibility issues with Apple apps/software such as Logic Pro 9, and iPhoto, but will there be any compatibility issues with other non-apple software such as audacity, wondershare video converter and such like?
This would be the first time I'd have upgraded an OS with Mac as I've had PC's in the past, and most things tend to work fine with the new windows, or soon after there's an update to make it compabitble. Is this the same with Mac?
Cheers

IWeb 09 and Mountain Lion compatibility

Hi all,
has anyone already tried to run iWeb 09 with Mountain Lion? Perfect compatibility?
Thanks.
Antonio

I haven't done too, much yet just finished my installation. But, it seems to be working as it did in Lion.

Can't purchase Mountain Lion - security questions

i can't purchase Mountain Lion because i'm given three mandatory security questions, when i only defined ONE (plus date of birth) in my Profiles Security Settings - which was done automatically upon creation of profile, one question, not three.
i've tried going to my Profile and add the required two questions, but that option isn't available.
thank you! - (this is quite urgent...)

Osx mountain lion compatibility with mso 2011

if i buy office 2011 will it work on mountain lion when it comes out

Hi Guido H
I haven't upgrade my 2 machines to Mountain Lion yet for the following reason.
1. The Mac Mini I have is used by my children, so I would not have the opportunity to test Mountain Lion proberly on et anyway.
2. I Have Office 2011 on may Macbook Air, and I am not going to upgrade it to Mountain Lion until I know that it runs properly in Mountain Lion.
As my home and studient version does not come with Outlook my question to you is. How does Word, Excel and Outlook run under Montain Lion? Any problems I should be aware off?
Thanks in advance

Mountain Lion & compatibility with your s'ware

Before you upgrade to this dubiousdelevopment have a look at:
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/90480-upgrading-to-os-x-lion-potential-prob lems-and-how-to-avoid-them
and:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table/p/1
Could be that we might have to replace a frightening amount of software!!

I had not upgraded before I made the original coment. Took perhaps too much notice of the problems others had experienced.
So, being aware of the lack of security updates I updated, with the help of the Call Desk as, as I really did not have the latest version of 10.6.8 I was given advice of how to get the real one.
Worked a treat, no compatibility probs with the s'ware I have. Lucky may be. Mountain Lion fast, easily configured and controlable. Me - can't fault it.
Best find out for yourself aye?

Photoshop CS4 and Mountain Lion Printing Question

I recently downloaded CS4 onto my new Macbook Pro Retina running Mountain Lion and I am not able to print from CS4 to my Epson 3800 printer. When I hit the print button, the light on the Epson 3800 blinks one time but nothing happens. The file does not even get sent to the printing queue.
Photoshop CS4 otherwise works perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro Retina. Additionally, all other applications on my Macbook Retina print perfectly fine on my Epson 3800. For example, I can print from Aperture to the Epson 3800 just fine. I am using the most recent Epson driver from the Epson website.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,
Since your Epson 3800 printer is working fine with other applications, one workflow work around would be to export your Photoshop file as another format (for example .jpeg, .png, .tiff or even .pdf depending on what your content is). By exporting it as another format, you can open it using other applications (such as Acrobar Reader, or Preview) and print from there. While this is not the most ideal lsolution, it should do the trick if you are in a rush to print.
To help troubleshoot and solve this problem in the long run, you can take a look at this help page: Trouble Shooting Printing Problems, Photoshop CS4 Mac OS.
This helpful page lists all the possible things you can do to reset or fix the problem, it also lists a number of alternatives.
Hope this helps!

Mountain Lion Dictation Questions

I am using Mountain Lion Dictation and have gotten it to work in its basic form.
I would like to better understand two of the input options, Greatdy System Audio and ProcasterAudioredirector.
I went to the Greatdy site and downloaded their free "SystemAudioPlug-in" but for the life of me I can figure out how to make it work. Greatdy seems to think its pretty easy to use but I don't have a clue.
What I am hoping to accomplish is taking an audio file and passing it through the Mountain Lion Dictation system and end up with a text file version of the audio file. Yep, the audio file is human speech in English.
I can do this with Dragon Dictate v 3 for MAC but I don't want to spend the $150 if I don't have to... the $150 is their Holiday Special price which includes headphones and next day shipping, good deal but...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Phil

You download the plugin which comes to you as a .zip file. Double-click to unzip. Double-click on the resulting plug-in file. You will be prompted to install it, so click on the Install button. That's all there is to it. Apparently, it will enable you to pass system audio to something else. You will have to ask them what applications use the plug-in and how they use it.

Pages and Mountain Lion Compatibility

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have been trying the new features. In trying out Dictation, I've gotten it to work on most of my apps but it will not work on Pages. I'm using Pages 08 and wondering if you need Pages 09 for it to work?

Terrible isnt it.
have you seen a documentary called the Lightbulb Conspiracy?
in it they feature a printer made by a globally recognised brand that includes a chip that makes the printer stop working and ask for repairs once it reaches a pre programmed number of page prints.....
it is everywhere. Highly recommend watching it.

Mountain Lion upgrade question

Hello, so i wanted to upgrade to Mountain Lion, and would just like to know the best way to back up my copy of lion if i need to downgrade, i already have a time machine back up. Also if i do need to downgrade, what is the best way to do so?

A very good method to backup is make a bootable clone of the internal hard drive on an exernal drive...that gives you boot options should you want to switch back and forth between the operating systems. You can check the offerings of sources such as the Mac specialists at OWC for great ideas.

Osx 10.8 mountain lion compatibility and crashing issues

I upgraded my old mac laptop a special edition 1278 that is aluminum unibody, yes they do exist. It has 2Ghz intel core2duo 8gb ram a 7200rpm hyrid 500gb hard drive on a 13" frame with the now standard one big button touchpad. I had gone from snow to lion to now mountain lion.
Well, FIRST WARNING, I ASSUMED Adobe Creative Cloud should work with mountain lion since it was working with lion, WRONG!
upon upgrading completeing, and trying to launch Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 Dreamweaver,I was informed by Adobe application control that "your computer is not authorized to use adobe creative cloud....can not activate software....you have already reached the maximum activations of two".
Well one of the activations was this laptop running lion and now since I didn't know to deactivate the software before upgrading I can't deactivate it and then reactivate it under mountain lion.
The ONLY adobe solution?....get ready for this....Deactivate my subscription killing all computers ability to use the adobe software, ALL PRODUCTS for....get ready for this....24 hours. Then I can reactivate the two computers i want to use the software on.
Unacceptable solution. especially since further checking on many sites DO NOT LIST CS6 Products to be compatible with mountain lion.
Secondly, since upgrading to mountain lion and it upgrading xcode and xcode related files....it crashes when trying to run programs/apps during development.
It doesn't matter how complex or simple they are...they can be lank apple supplied templates. If i click Products->Run a few seconds later xcode crash!
If you have a fix for either of these issues please drop me a line with useful suggestions I appreciate it.
and no. let's be clear on this-although it feels this way, my head is not up my....thank you for that comment or suggestion up front
I am looking for a serious solution.

I'm on a 2008 Macbook Pro. The initial installation went smoothly for me. I'm not sure where to download the VUSB software online, I believe it downloaded the file when I was using the Connect Cloud setup interface. I clicked on devices, then add device, then usb printer. It should walk you through the steps and download VUSB during that process.

Mountain Lion & compatibility with scanner software.

I just upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion. I now get an error anytime i try to open my cannon scanner software, mp navigator ex 1.1. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Check out the Canon's support site for current drivers that work with Lion/Mountain Lion.

Can anyone verify Mountain Lion Compatibility?

I want to be sure that Final Cut Studio (Not Final Cut Pro X) is Mountain Lion compatible before I upgrade.
Thanks!

FCP is not vital to my workflow so went ahead and downloaded Mountain Lion.
It works, though I haven't tried encoding or video compression, and it is worth mentioning that I was shocked how fast it and Soundtrack Pro opened, far, far faster than with Lion. If only my CS6 was as quick.

Mountain Lion Download Question

If I download ML to my iMac, do I have to pay separately to upgrade my MacBook Pro?

You can upgrade all your computers to Mountain Lion paying OS X only once, the same when you want to reinstall Mountain Lion.
If you want, instead of downloading Mountain Lion on the MacBook, you can copy the installer to an external disk and use it to upgrade the other computer, so you won't have to download OS X twice

Mountain Lion compatibility

Is a 3rd gen. ipod nano compatible, or can it be made compatible, with Mountain Lion? If not, what is the earliest version of the iPod that can be?
Thanks!

thank you Niel, but I'm specifically asking about the THIRD GENERATION iPod, not newer ones, in relation to Mountain Lion, not older operating systems. I don't want to have to purchase a new iPod along with all the software updates and the new computer. This built in obsolescence that Apple uses is extremely expensive . . .
