Mountain Lion incompatible with other equipment?
I recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion and am now unable to use my Epson scanner or my Canon ip4820 printer. Am I just out-of-luck and need to replace these two essential pieces or is there a way around this?
For the Scanner, try opening Image Capture and see if the scanner is listed or try the Print & Scan system Prefs.
For the Printer, have you tried removing it from the list in Print & Scan, and then adding it back?
"Unable to use" is pretty vague. There could be many reasons you are unable to use the devices. What have you done and what specific things are preventing you from using them? Scanner software doesn't open, Error messages, Printer doesn't show up in Printer list, printer shows up but error when printing, etc.

Mountain lion incompatible with sky go
Just been informed that mountain lion is incompatible with sky go. every time you use sky go it registers the mac as a new device each time. you are only allowed to register two devices per month so in effect you can only watch sky go twice per month!!! was advised by sky there is no fix in the pipeline. cant think the growing number of new mac purchasers are going to be too happy with this. Any one got same experience or solutions
Could this be approaching resolution? I just had a chat session with Sky and here's a screen grab from the session:

Mountain Lion incompatible with Geforce 8800?
I have an 8 core Mac Pro, everything has been working fine...until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Doing anything video intensive causes the system to crash. Sometimes the whole system has a kernel panic and reboots on its own. Other times, the video goes nuts, and I get repeating patterns all over the screen, and am unable to get the system back to a usable state without having to hold the power button. The video card was a GeForce 8800GT, which I have been using for years with zero issues... until upgrading to Mountain Lion. I have all updates installed as well. I took the video card out and put back the ATI that came with the machine, and it seems to have resolved it. But why is it doing this? The Geforce is a far superior card, and I hate not having it. If there is no fix, I may just downgrade and start looking at switching back to a Windows machine. If anyone has any suggestions or answers, please help. I appreciate it.
Below I'm pasting a log of the kernel panic:

Why is mountain lion incompatible with my mac pro?
The app store says that Mountain Lion is incompatible. Not sure why. I have 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon processors. I have 8 GB of memory free and over 800 GB of storage free. Can someone explain?
Thanks,

If you're running Lion, it should, where my iMac shows it's an early 2009 design:
But a Mac Pro 1,1 is probably an August, 2006 model. I don't find an article that connects the model number to build period for Mac Pros, but plug your serial number into this site. It should show it. -
I bought a Macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Can I install Mountain Lion on my other mac for free? How do I do that? Thanks!
On the bright side, it's only $20.
And I would certainly like to have the ownership (and even a copy of the installer on my archive drive), "just in case."
Here are some questions -- which I cannot test because it's not my situation:
Has anyone acquired a pre-owned Mac with Mountain Lion installed but which shipped with an earlier OS version? For those in that circumstance:
Have you been able to apply Mountain Lion update(s)?
How about reinstall ML with Recovery HD?
After either updating or reinstalling, does ML appear in Purchases in App Store?
Just curious. -
Is anyone else having trouble after thy downloaded Mountain lion x with iMessages mine isnt linking to my computer because it keeps saying i have a registration error. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it
HI,
People who have had computer that has had the Logic/motherboard replaced during repair or refurbishment that has not has the Mac Serial Number Flashed to the board have found that iMessage in particular have not been able to "register".
A current purchase of Mountain Lion will tend to give you the latest version which as of Thursday (12 th Mar) is OS X 10.8.3
You can use System Information to find if the Serial Number is there as it appears under the Hardware section.
If it is missing you need to get to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider who can flash the info to the board.

Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?
is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes
VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.

I'm using Mountain Lion, kernel_task and other background service are using an awful lot of my memory my memory. I can't run any other programs without the beach ball I can hear the hard drive running like crazy in the background.I have 8GB of memory and everything has worked well until recently.
I am sort of new at posting let me know what other info I can provide
Thank you
HowardI was noticing the same today. I have been running this on my Mac Pro circa early 2008. At the time I notice some sluggish I had three items using over 5 GB of real memory. kernal_task, iTunes, and Safari. I did a formal "quit" for iTunes & Safari which reduced the memory down (iTunes was 1.3GB and Safari was 2.0GB). Here is a screen capture of what is right now. The kernel_task is at 2.01GB.
At time of this screen capture my uptime has been:
up 4 days, 23:37, 2 users, load averages: 1.56 1.70 2.04
The specs of the Mac Pro is with a lot of hard drive space on the boot drive (50% free) which is mostly my main account user data. Applications files and other data is actually on a second drive which is also at 50%. Drive 3 & Drive 4 are RAID 0 used for Time Machine. RAM is 32GB as the picture denotes.
I have a MacBook Pro (circa 2011), iMac 27" i7 (circa 2009), and Mac Mini (circa 2010) which don't have any large kernal memory usage.
Thank you in advance... -
Mountain Lion Server with Network User
I have a Mountain Lion Server with a network user. The whole system has been redone from Lion Server and on top of that I moved location, ISP, hardware and a few other things. The way I used the setup on Lion was to bind my MBP to the server and login from the MBP login window with the network account. If for whatever reason I wanted to look at the network account on the server, I could fast user swtich and everything that was open ie Safari, Mail, etc would be the same as it was on the MBP.
Now if I'm logged into the network user on the MBP and then go to the server, it logs in as if I've just booted. They share the home folder and any new files/folders created on one shows on the other. But if Mail is open on the MBP it won't be open on the server.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?Thanks for your reply.
I believe I got it to work, but,... How do you get the network account users to show up on the login window of the client computer? The login window shows the name of the client computer and the local accounts on the client computer. When I select Other in the login list I can login using a network account user id and it logs in. The network account user names do not show up on the login window -
Will Mountain Lion work with old models of Time Capsule?
I was using an online backup service but it slowed down my machine so I want to go to an external drive backup. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am thinking of purchasing an older version of Time capsule for my backups. My question is will mountain lion work with older models of Time Capsule? thanks so much.....
Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better. -
How do I download Mountain Lion to the other computers at my home without additional cost? I downloaded 10.8 to my main IMac but have two additional computers in my home.?
Install 10.6.8 on the other computers. Sign into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. Locate your Mountain Lion purchase entry which will show an active Install/Download button to the right of the entry. Click on it to download to the computer. If you don't wish to download Mountain Lion twice, then do this:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process. -
