Mountain lion issue

Since installing Mountain Lion on my power mac, one of my internal hard drives has disappeared from the finder. It shows up in applications when I search for a file. I just can't access it from the desktop.

Hmmm. I would think it must be mounted if the application dialogs are seeing it, and presumably able to open and save files on it.
However, it might be a good idea to use Disk Utility to "Repair Disk". It sounds like it is not your boot drive, so that would be easy.
Display of drive icons on the desktop can be turned off and on in Finder preferences. If it's already set to display them, you might try toggling that setting.
Is the drive showing up in the window sidebar? (That display has a setting also) What about if you select your computer in the sidebar, does it show the missing drive in the list in the window?

Reinstalling Mountain Lion issue.

Reinstalling Mountain Lion issue. After I erased my HD and reinstalled OS (w/o file transfer from other Mac option) - opened Safari and saw my old bookmarks there already. Does that mean that reinstall didn't go correctly?

Thanks for the reply, I will try that tonight.
I'm working on this thory I found on google....
'Booting a new MacBook Pro (Late 2011) from a retail 10.6.3 disc resulted in a black screen and a repeating 3 beep pattern. This is due to missing Sandy Bridge drivers. Apple will ship a 10.6.6 (iMac) or 10.6.7 (MacBook Pro) installer disc'
My OS was the 10.6.3 that came with my iMac. I phoned Apple, they wanted me to pay £18 for 10.6.6
Hmmmmmm!

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

HT2509 Font Book vs Mountain Lion issue

Font Book keeps crashing as soon as it loads now that I have installed Mountain Lion. Is there a Font Book update that I need? I currently have Font Book 4.1
Using a 27" iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with wireless keyboard. Don't seem to be able to do a Safe Reboot either.

You were right; corrupt fonts. Reloaded all fonts but did not validate any with issues. Seems to be fine now.
Until I need them again, of course. Which, most probably, will be in the near future.
Thanks for your help. I will persevere with Mountain Lion until something else goes haywire. Not impressed so far.

Java/mountain lion issues

Anyone else having issues running java web apps with mountain lion? I use one for work, and it starts to launch then crashes. I tried reinstalling java, but a window pops up indicating a newer version has already been installed. Yet when I attempt to launch the web app I get an error message saying Java wasn't detected on my computer.

Possible OSX Mountain Lion issue

I just installed OSX Mountain Lion two days ago. Today, it took my Macbook 10 minutes to boot up. Anyone else seen this?

Is this a constant issue when you turn your machine on or is it totally random?
Your profile shows you have a MacBook. Click on the Apple Logo on the top left corner of your screen and go to "About This Mac" What are the specs (processor and memory) you see there?
Click on "More Info" and go to the "Storage" tab at the top. How much free space do you have?
All in all it comes down to 1.) How much RAM or memory you have installed and 2.) If you have enough free space on your hard drive for the machine to run properly.
Once your device turns on try opening up Activity Monitor. You can Spot Light search this or get it from your utility folder in Applications. Sort the CPU % and see what is taking up the most of your CPU at the start.

Mountain Lion issues (Browsers & App Store)

Hi All,
I have some issues with Mountain Lion I could use some help with. I have the issues outlined below.
Browsers:
After installing Mountain Lion, I have noticed some issues with sites being displayed. I have 2 accounts on the macbook, one is an admin, the other has parental controls enabled. I have noticed that at least 1 website (youtube) is not displaying in any browsers (Safari, FireFox, or Chrome) using the account with parental controls. The admin account does not have this issue as the site displays fine. I have no 3rd party extensions running and nothing like APE or FruitMenu. I've done the following to troubleshoot to no avail:
cleared all cache (from the development menu)
reset safari
deleted safair plists
cleared dns cache
tried different dns IP
App Store:
With the account with parental controls enabled, I can't log into the app store. Nothing happens when clicking "sign in" from the menu. Most of the time, I get the "can't connect to the app store" error but when it does connect, the "sign in" on the right side menu is grayed out. The admin account App Store works just fine. I have run the following to troubleshoot to no avail:
killall storeagent
removed appstore plists
With both issues, I have tried disabling the parental controls and that doesn't work either. It has to do with the account itself and I just can't figure out what it is. See screenshot of browser issue below, in all 3 browsers, google came up fine but youtube doesn't. One last bit of info, it's only the youtube homepage that has issues. I can get to youtube videos from a google search.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks for taking a look!

MB pro and Mountain lion issues

I have a late 2008 MB pro 15 in and since DL osx mountain lion, my MB pro now randomly locks up, the wifi looses connectivity, safari freezes, safar wont finish opening the page, etc What is up with mountain lion????? When the computer freezes I have to hold down the pwr button to reboot....
In 4 years i never had an issues prior to mountain lion.

I recently upgraded my mid-2009 MB Pro 17 inch to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade I can open Dashboard but cannot access the widgets or delete unwanted widgets. In Launch Pad my grouped applications will not expand when I click on the grouping. I have reloaded Mountain Lion but the problem still exists. I also upgraded my mid-2007 iMac but everything works fine on it. What gives? I have since stopped using Dashboard and Launch Pad. More backward steps from the folks at Apple.

Mountain lion issue with download

I bought my macbook in late 2008 and i currently run the 10.6.8 and would like to upgrade to lion but it says i can't. Why?

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.

Mac Mini/Xcode/OS Mountain Lion issue

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie to macs and I'm having a tough time figuring a couple of things out. I basically bought a mac mini so I can use Xcode. I went to try and download it but when it finishes and I open the Xcode file I get a message that says "Xcode Not Supported On This Archtecture". I hit software upgrade but it stays stuck on version 10.5.8. Then I see that you can pay $20 bucks for the newest Mountain Lion update.
Do I need to get Mountain Lion in order for Xcode to work on my Mac Mini?
For further info, I signed up as a developer and I have the 3 gig version of the Mac Mini. I've heard kind of confusing things regarding Xcode with people saying it's free but others saying you have to pay an annual fee. At the moment I haven't paid for anything relating to Xcode.
Basically my main question is, how do I get Xcode up and running?
Sorry if this is all super rookie bush league but I'm brand new to the mac world.
Thanks for all your help.

Xcode is free. A basic login to the developer site is free. For $99 you get full membership in the developer program and the ability to release software either in the App Store (depending on either iOS or Mac program). If you are in the Mac developer program you can release software with a Developer ID. You also get access to different versions of the operating system for testing.
The problem is that your Mac Mini is from 2007 at best. It will not run Mountain Lion. You can call Apple (yes - telephone only - no online sales) and purchase either Snow Leopard or Lion. In the developer site you can download an older version of Xcode appropriate for whatever operating system you want to run. That will be enough to learn on. If you ever want to move publishing your apps, you will need a new system.

Using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion - issue with inbox syncing across multiple machines

Hi. I am using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion on my iMac, as well as Mail in my iPad and iPhone. Generally speaking Mail seems to sync well across the three machines. However for some reason when I view an email in my inbox on either my iPhone or my iPad, the inbox on my iMac does not reflect the fact the email has been read: ie, while the email is marked as having been 'read' across both my iPad and iPhone, it remains 'unread' on my iMac. It is really frustrating and stuffs up the process managing the flow of emails. Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks so much.
Best
Jordan

Hi SB. Thanks for your advice. I checked and I am using the recommended settings. I'm still not sure how to fix this. It's very irritating! I will read an email on my ipad, then hit my imac and see that the email is sitting unread in my Mail inbox.

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion issues after waking from sleep.

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion has the spinning beach ball of death after waking from sleep a few times. Anyone else seeing this? A fresh boot is very quick, but waking from sleep lags at times. Then after a few times the spinning beachball of death appears and nothing is responsive making me reboot the machine.

I've been suffering from this too, and am currently trying this:

Seems to be tied to this 'Power Nap' feature. I tuned it for 12 hours instead of 24.

HT200160 Mountain Lion issue Connecting to legacy AFP services

I can't seem to get this to work under Mountain Lion although it works fine under Lion.
When I try Step 4, I receive the following error, The domain/default pair of (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient, afp_disabled_uams) does not exist
I am attempting to connect to NetWare 6.5, SP8 using clear text.

Resolved this by connecting to an OS X 10.7 server in Step 3. In Lion I was able to connect to our NetWare server and complete the steps but not Mountain Lion.

IMail Mountain Lion Issue

Just installed Mountain Lion. Using iMail. Why do emails to which I reply get sent to my inbox? And, how do I turn that off?

However, it might be a good idea to use Disk Utility to "Repair Disk". It sounds like it is not your boot drive, so that would be easy.
