  • Restore OSX Mountain Lion on Used Mac Mini

    Hi all,
    I just purchased a Mac Mini from someone on Craigslist. It's the late 2012 model (Core i7, OSX Mountain Lion)... The problem is, the person I bought it from upgraded it to OSX Mavericks. I use Pro Tools 10 which doesn't work on Mavericks. So I need to restore the Mac Mini back to Mountain Lion, which came on it originally.
    Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to actually purchase Mountain Lion from Apple and wait several days for them to email me the download link?

    You need to do this:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • I cannot download the OS X Mountain Lion for the Mac Mini

    I purchased a Mac Mini last week and cannot install the latest version of Mountain Lion.  This is preventing me from installing the current version of Aperture. I read on cnet.com that this is an issue.  Has Apple provided a fix? 
    Thanks, Mark

    The update was available last week and Apple removed it; I'm sure there was a reason why they did that.
    In any case, there are two different builds of 10.8.2 - that is why one version is and will be available since it is for the majority of machines out there. That build is 12C60 (and is running on my 2010 iMac). Only some 2012 machines such as yours require a special build which is the one that was taken off for the moment (before it disappeared, that was build 12C3006).
    So, try to be patient; hopefully they're working on it and the update will be available asap.

  • No sound after Mountain Lion upgrade in Mac Mini.

    I upgraded my Mac Mini (Early 2009) to Mountain Lion and I have no sound anymore - I do not see internal speakers in sound system preferences. I tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM, tried headphones jack plugging-in-out trick, nothing works so far. Any ideas?
    I used to watch movies in 5.1 sound, but even a simple stereo does not work.
    My pref pane looks like this:

    I have the same problem:  Almost a year later.  Like you, I tried all the suggestions given in these forums.  Nothing has worked.  Is it possible that there is still not a solution after all this time?
    Does Apple have a fix yet?
    Do any users have a fix?

  • Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours.  Nothing I do changes it.  I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  What do I do now?

    Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours.  Nothing I do changes it.  I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  What do I do now?

    If you are looking at the front page of the App Store and you are seeing the "downloading" message on the right under Quick Links.
    Try this... Go into the "Purchases" section in the top bar of the App Store find ML in the list you are presented with. Does it say Resume? If so click the button and it will change to Pause. You may have paused it previously and forgot.
    If not then do as Csound1 suggested and simply wait for it to finish

  • I would like to import the .abcdp files from my old, restored HD (was running mountain lion when the mac crashed) to the addressbook of my new mac (10.9.5)

    I would like to import the .abcdp files from my old, restored HD (was running mountain lion when the mac crashed) to the addressbook of my new mac (10.9.5).
    Please advise.

    I don't have access to one.
    I don't understand why the new address book is not backwards compatible with the data from former OS X versions.
    In 10.8. preview was still able to read the files although it was already impossible to import them into the address book. But Why?

  • My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes when installing updates or new software.

    My brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion crashes and re-boots when installing updates or new software. I can only perform these operations while in the safe boot mode.  I have reloaded OSX twice. Does not solve the problem.  The machine is brand new. It replaced a previous MacPro that would not support the new Mountain Lion.  When my new machine came in.  I swaped the dirve out of my old unit into the new and ran the new Lion update.  The machine has had this aforementioned problem since that time.  Also, I had the Legacy version of File Vault running on the old machine/drive, which I also turned off(thinking that was the problem)  but that did not fix the problem either.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion

  • How do I erase and install a new copy of Mt Lion on a Mac Mini that has Mt Lion installed by previous owner?

    Wish I could have phrased the question better, but here's what I need to know: I traded an older iPad for a Mac Mini. I made the trade with my daughter who, after transferring everything to her iMac, handed me over the Mac Mini with all her files, and OS X Mt Lion still installed. So now I'm ready to erase the Mac Mini's HD and install my own new copy of Mt Lion onto it. Back in the "old days" of physical media I would have no problem with this, but now that I have to download and install Mt Lion from the Mac App store, I'm wondering how to do this (easily?).

    If you have already purchased Mountain Lion form teh Mac App Store, then you can boot the Mac Mini to its recovery partition and select to re-partition the disk and re-install from teh internet.  It will check to see if the Mac Mini is qualified for Mountain Lion (default for a new Mac Mini), and if it isn't, then it will ask you for the Mac App Store ID that was used to purchase Mountain Lion.  You enter your ID here, and it will verify that you have purchased it, and all will be well.  If you haven't purchased it yet, the easiest thing to do is to borrow your daughter's iMac, and sign into the Mac App Store with your ID and purchse Mountain Lion, then use the above steps.

           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Another Mountain Lion Crash

    Hi,
    I have just had Mountain Lion crash, and not for the first time in the last few weeks.  Neither the keyboard or trackpad were responding so I had to do a hard reset.
    There was no crash report, but I have copied the following from the console report, there are a few recurring errors, but can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong?
    Thks

    Hi,
    I think these were the last messages before I rebooted.  The Mac froze just as I was opening an incoming mail (ironically it was from Apple Support re another issue).  The only programmes I had open were iTunes, Mail and Print programme.
    The only devices connected were the wired keyboard and printer and NAS connected through network.
    It initially crashed around 7.40pm, but I didn't reboot until around 20:20 after dinner.  I have posted some of the messages around the time of reboot (immediately below) and other messages further down when it crashed around 19.40
    All help gratefully received.
