Mountain lion copy was tampered with or corrupted
Taking all day to install ML on my Early 2011 MBP.
Here are my specs: 120 GB Cherryville Intel SSD + 500 GB WD Scorpio Blue in the optical bay.
Wanted to do a fresh install of ML over Lion but that didn't go well. After formatting my SSD and trying to install from 8 GB Flash Drive (mounted and formatted to InstallESD.dmg) it said "Could not download all needed packages" or something like that. Tried 6 times. Luckily I had my original HDD still with all my old stuff on it. I booted from that and downloaded Lion again. After installing Lion, now it says "ML copy was tampered with or corrupted, delete this copy and download from App Store". I have done this like 6 times and still getting the same error message! Yes, I have fixed disk permissions and verified the disk, cleaned the cache and still won't go.
Any help would be appreciated.
I encountered the same error "…can't be verified…" error on my 2010 MBP too. Tried six times and finally I could get it installed. Here's what I did:
Went to "Users & Groups" in System Preferences, checked that the Apple ID specified for the current user is the same Apple ID I used in the download purchase of ML from the App Store.
Rebooted in Safe Mode.
Went to Disk Utility -> Repair Disk Permissions
Downloaded ML at midnight (and the download was significantly faster!)
Rebooted in Normal Mode.
Ran the ML Installer.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.
I'm not aware of any application that will allow this. Most applications won't launch until after you login (which would include any utility that could do this). I'm not sure how much use there would be for something like this. For obvious reasons, a spoken password isn't particularly secure. I would imagine a blind person using a computer would still be able to manually enter a password. I would make sense for folks with other types of disabilities I suppose... so long as there isn't anyone around whenever they use their password.

HT1338 Mountain Lion installation was interrupted - can't restart the download.
My Mountain Lion installation was interrupted. Now, when I try to download, it won't do it. After clicking "Download" it pauses for a moment, and then nothing happens.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

i have an iMac with mountain lion 10.8.3 with boot camp 5.0.2 .i installed windows 7 -64 bit with boot camp but the boot camp didn't install drivers for windows please guide me for trouble shooting .

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

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. -
The only program i really use is M-Audio Torq Connectiv for djing. Now i've updated to mountain lion this software/hardware no longer works. M-audio arent updating this particular software so i need to revert back to lion....help!!
You can't use the Mountain Lion altered TimeMachine drive with a older operating system version, your files are trapped.
You first need to get back to Mountain Lion, and restore from TimeMachine so you have access to your files.
Next you dig through your files and get to portions that are neutral file formats, like .jpg, mp3, .gif, text, doc etc., and that will work across nearly all computers and operating system versions. You basically want to get your files/data out of proprietary 10.8 program only versions and into something you can manage importing into older versions of programs on the older operating system.
Once that is completed you want to copy all this to a external drive, if you work with Windows, take the new external drive to the oldest Windows machine and right click and format exFAT. If it's a XP machine, there is a free exFAT download from Microsoft to install and reboot first. This way you have the most compatible format for your files possible. The Mac formats exFAT incorrectly and will not work with PC's. If your never going to work with PC's you can format the drive GUID /OS X Extended Journaled in Apple's Disk Utlity. Don't format MBR/MSDOS as that has a 4GB file size limit. Don't format NTFS as Mac's can't write to that.
Once you have all your files off the machine and the external drive disconnected, your now ready to revert back to a older OS X version.
If you originally had Snow Leopard on the machine, then that's the disks you want, even if the machine came with 10.5 or earlier.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Once that is installed, you Software Update fully to 10.6.8 where AppStore appears and you can reinstall 10.7, if it's not there or you upgraded directly to 10.8, then call Apple and order 10.7 and they will send it to you online.
Once your on 10.7 then install your apps and then access your basic files from the storage drive.
The 10.8 TimeMachine drive will somehow have to be erased so it can be setup to be used with 10.7 again, not sure how to go about this as I don't use it, it's terribly limiting for my needs.
If you used a bootable clone for backup of 10.8, you could have avoided all this mess because cloned drives are directly accessible to get at the files from nearly any operating system, unlike TimeMachine which is designed to trap and only move forward with OS X upgrades.

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 -
My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion - it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard. Every time I reboot the audio aggregate device (MOTU TRAVELER, MOTU PRE8 1, MOTU PRE8) has to be reconfigured so that it is available within Logic Pro.
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
Accidentally Free Mountain Lion copy erased!
Hello. I got a free Mountain Lion copy with my new imac
I used it to download my copy, but accidentally erase the copy in my imac, and canceled the appstore download.
now, appstore doesn't accept my code for the free copy.
help please!The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You can only use the code one times. But now the Mt Lion installer should be listed in the Purchased pane with your other Mac App Staore purchases. -
for some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?
Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

"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.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?
I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again -
My OS X Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I can't get it to download at all.
My OS X 7 Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I have a Mountain Lion shadow on my doc saying "paused" but I can't seem to restart the download
If the download does not resume, then Quit the App Store app and delete the partial download in your Applications folder. Then you will have to start the download all over again from the "Purchases" section of the App store.

Ive just upgraded to Mountain lion, I was using Safari and tried to use iCloud tabs. When I open it up there are no tabs there, anyone have any ideas on how to get it working?
Can you check system update? I think I did a system Update 1st, a day before installing OSX Lion and there is a Safari update. If not try logging in iCloud.

Hi Experts:
I am using Apache 1.3.26, JBoss 3.0.0 (embedded with Catalina) on IBM Unix.
When I start my JBoss Server, I get following message wonder why:

It seems that major issues is "KEYSTORE WAS TAMPERED or PASSWORD was INCORRECT" - I have no idea what this means.
Can anyone throw light on this please?
THANKS!my first guess is that you forgot to add the Factory entry within the CoyoteSSL connector that specifies where the key file is found as well as the password. can you verify that?
