Mountain Lion in MacBookPro late 2007

I recently upgraded late 2007 MacBookPro 15" from Snow leopard to Mountain Lion. I am facing frequent Wi-Fi disconnection. Problem is solved however by turning Wi-Fi 'Off' and 'On' again and/or closing Safari and starting Safari again. Mid 2012 MacBookPro which I had upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion is not facing any such problem. Any possible solutions? or should we have to wait for the next Mountain Lion update?

No, 10.7.5 is the latest.
Supported models would be:
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

  • HT4718 I had a copy of Mountain Lion on my late 2008 MacBook Pro, having replaced Lion which it came with. But the drive,crashed, so I replaced the drive and reinstalled Lion from the original disks I had. How do I get another copy of Mountain Lion?

    A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

  • After installing Mountain Lion my MacBookPro crashes after disconnecting from Cinema Display

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion on my 15" MacBookPro (early 2011 first with Tunderbolt connector) it crashes after disconnecting from Cinema display (this Cinema does not have Thunderbolt but mini display port). It woked fine under Lion.
    This crash occurs in following situation:
    MacBookPro is in closed clam shell operation. When Cinema display is still connected, I put MacBookPro into sleep. Then I disconnect Cinema display mini diplay connector from Thuderbotl port.
    When I get home and open MacBookPro it is in deep kernel crash.
    It happens every time.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks

  • Should I do a clean install of Mountain Lion on a late 2009 iMac or will I find hardware/driver issues?

    I have a late 2009 iMac (2.93 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 4GB of ram, model id is 9.1) running Lion right now. I upgraded it all the way from Leopard using the standard keep-all-your-apps-and-settings way. After looking at the hardware requirements for Mountain Lion (and my success with running Lion) it seems that my good ol' iMac is still capable of running it fairly well. But I don't like the idea of "stacking" upgrade after upgrade (*coughs*, clean freak!). I like the idea of starting out clean this time because so many years of use has filled my mac with a lot of crap I no longer use.
    So I would like to know your sane advice, and if there's anything I should check out before attempting this. Especially I'm concerned about hardware/driver related issues like for example: the webcam or speakers no longer working. Also, if there's something I'm overlooking please point it out.
    Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me. I'll be very grateful!

    If it wasn't a Mac computer that originally came with either Lion or Mt Lion Pre-Installed by Apple when new you would not be able to connect to the Online Internet Recovery system. It is a Feature of the Mac EFI Firmware system. And it will only install whichever version of the Download only version of OS X that originally came on that system.
    My MBP came with Lion Preinstalled. Even if I have Mt Lion installed on the hard drive the Online Internet Recovery system would always point my MBP to the Lion download as that was the original version of OS X that came on my Mac.
    No real authentication needed. Since your Mac came with Mt Lion no matter what newer versionof OS X you ever install the OIRS will always point you to Mt Lion and ONLY Mt Lion.
    It is something different, but not completely different, from the built in Recovery HD partition on the internal drive.
    No worries as during the install of MT Lion on your SSD the installer will Recreate the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition on your SSD.

  • Point of view on running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro?

    I bought my MacBook Pro a couple of days before the current genneration came out in June of 2012.  I was told that Mountain Lion would run well even on the older genneration and I was convinced by the 'genius' that it would be well worth it to buy the old one since I could get the old gen 15 inch for the price of the new gen 13 inch.  I love mac, and my macbook but ive been hearing some stuff about how its Mountain Lion just doesnt run smoothly with the old gen hardware....im starting to agree with them.  I havent got to use a new gen with mountain lion but i assume the freeze ups and the delays dont happen as much.  Just looking for some thoughts from other people who have experienced this issue.....
    biggest issue chat has just messed up texting with my iphone i had to delete it, notifying me randomly form days ago and other times not notifiying me at all

    I have a late model 2011 mac and I ran mountain lion on it for a few months. It ran ok but I ended up reinstalling lion on it about a week ago just because I found lion ran better. I don't think it has anything to with the "slightly" older hardware. I think mountain lion is just a resource pig. One thing was very noticeable and that was the shut down time. With lion my mac shuts down in a second or 2. with mountain lion it took 5-10+ seconds and that was with a clean install of mountain lion.
    If you don't need any of the newer feature, whatever they are, then just stay with lion. I read a article this morning that apple is coming out with 10.9 in a couple of months. So I'll try that, in a separate partition this time, when it comes out and see how I like it.

  • Upgrade mountain lion to mac pro 2007

    Have older Mac Pro, early 2007. Can I uprade to Mountain LIon . The online requirement says 2008 or later

    If you are willing to endure the crushing complexity of it, there is a Hackintosh solution that allows the loading of EFI-64 work-alike software in RAM (rather than in firmware). This would allow the loading and running of 10.8 on your "too-old" Mac if this is exceptionally important to you.
    • This solution may require additional RAM, which is quite expensive for these older Macs.
    • If you have serious problems, there is no support available for such a set-up.

  • HT4854 Mac App store won't let me re-download Mountain Lion on a Late 2012 Mac mini, says computer is incompatible.

    I have a brand new late-2012 Mac mini running 10.8.2. I'm trying to re-download ML from the App Store to create a bootable USB recovery key just in case. I'm being told that I can't DL Mountain Lion because my computer isn't compatible. How can that be?!
    Part of the reason I want this key is the fact that I just jumped through 5,000 hoops to recover Mid-2011 MacBook Air from the recovery partition. The installation kept giving me an error. EXTREMELY annoying. I had no key. It set me back a few days. I don't want this problem to happen again.
    I have a valid purchase, I own the software, I should be able to download it, period.

    Well said.
    If I follow the advice of the fellow above and download the installer via Internet Recovery, I'm not going to be given access to the installer for the sake of making my key—or will I? At want point in that workflow will I have the opportunity to boot to back into my already working OS (on the 2012 mini) in order to do what I need to do?
    I have access to a most recent release (2012) 13" MacBook Air (FWIW, the 2011 MacBook Air in question above happens to be an 11"). Am I likely to run into the same problem as with the 2012 Mac mini, where the version in the App Store still hasn't been "synced"?
    Unbelievably annoying. Worse still is while I'm stuck in self-help purgatory, if something were to happen the recommendation would be to visit the Genius Bar. It's not a bad service, but why should I have to rely on it if I'm perfectly capable of taking care of everything myself provided the correct tools are at hand?
    Incidentally, what happened with the 2011 MacBook Air is that the stock hard drive was formatted prior to sale. The recovery partition was left intact. I used it to begin the reinstallation of the OS. It was working fine until I realized I didn't have enough time at the moment to continue to download the required assets. The computer needed to be transported 200 miles away and time was of the essence.
    I cancelled the installation with the intention of revisiting it when I got to my destination. When I did so, even after freshly formatting the drive again in Disk Utility, I got an error right as the download began. No amount of tries made a difference. Same error. The only thing that will work, obviously, is a USB key or the equivalent with the installation files pre-downloaded—unless someone here has some other insight.
    Thanks so much to all.

  • HT202575 I have a black macbook purchased in early 2008, will I be able to run Mountain Lion or any later editions of the OS? I currently have 10.6.8

    Hello,
    I have a black macbook purchased in early 2008, and I'm wondering if it has the capability of supporting 10.7 or any later editions of the iOS.
    I've upgraded the ram and the HD, so the current specs are:
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2
    Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2
    HD: 1 TB
    Graphics: Intel GMA x3100

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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 Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • After Mountain Lion installed, 27" late 2009 iMac won't sleep

    As the title says.....
    Worked fine since new, but with Mountain Lion, it won't auto sleep. I have a numbe of iProducts, but only this one isn't working. Energy saver settings are fine.
    Desired behavior is after a few minutes the screen goes dark, then spool down after 15min, but it never happens. It will sleep if I hit the power button.

  • Install mountain lion on a late 2013 iMac (currently running mavericks)?

    I would like to install Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my 27" iMac 14,2 currently running Mavericks 10.9.2?

    Your iMac may have come with 10.8.4 so 10.8.5 ought to work. However, I don't think the Mountain Lion installer would let you overwrite Mavericks for a downgrade. Rather, you'd need to wipe the drive clean and do a fresh install. I'd suggest following these instructions for entering Recovery Mode and see which OS is offered for installation. If it's Mavericks, try the Internet Recovery option to see what the originally installed OS would be.
    In any case, before you start installing or erasing, make a full, bootable external clone of your current installation.
