Mountain Lion kills bluetooth, trackpad gestures

I have latest gen iMac. After Mountain Lion upgrade. No bluetooth is available though my keyboard and trackpad connect. Keyboard acts generics with no top row keys working and trackpad has lost gestures. Machine does see a trackpad in system prefs.
Is this release garbage???

Okay, I just found another thread that solved it for me.
Go to this thread and on the second page near the bottom you'll find a thread by joe81tx. Even though my "Disable automatic login" box was already unchecked and I couldn't find anything about name and password, and I figured that it wasn't going to work ... it did.
I hope it works for you.

Sonnet USB 3.0 PCIe Fail with Mountain Lion, Kills Bluetooth

Just sent the following to Sonnet support. They have a system support installer that is supposed to make the card work with Mountain Lion, which it does, but it also kills Bluetooth on my Mac Pro:
Hi there. Have been banging my head against a wall on Mountain Lion upgrade to a 3,1 Mac Pro and have figured out that your Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1 causes Bluetooth to become unavailable, which for me is a deal breaker.
Here is how I get to the conclusion that your software is the issue:
1. Clean install of Mountain Lion
2. Install USB 3.0 Driver (Mac) 1.06B, reboot (Bluetooth fine)
3. Install Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1, reboot, Bluetooth not available (jagged line through Bluetooth icon in menu bar, no Bluetooth item in System Preferences panel)
When I remove this last item and restart Bluetooth comes back.
I hope there is an urgency around a fix for this. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Very quick response from Sonnet, known issue, they are working on it, no commitment on timing of fix.

Mountain Lion OS X Trackpad issues

UPDATE ISSUE RESOLVED:
I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.
I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion today and have come across a very annoying issue.
My three finger swipes to move between full screen programs no longer works.
I have found several other users with this issue but their issue seems to have been resolved by disabling the two new gestures in "Trackpad" or disabling the "Screensaver". Neither of these temporary resoultions to the issue have fixed it for me.
And yes I restarted my mac after disabling the
Tap to click
Three finger drag
Magic Trackpad gestures and disabled screensaver.
I know that this is an issue for several users and Apple should mend this problem at some point, but are there any other temporary measures I can perform to get back the three finger swipe between programs as i use it all the time. (at the moment im using CMD + Tab to get between programs)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mt Lion IS the Operating System. It Is the system you are booting into. It is Not an App.
If you are talking about the Mt Lion installer that got downloaded from the internet then as mende1 pointed out it get Deleted after the install completes.
Stupid, YES but then we are dealing with Apple here.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion my Magic Trackpad won't connect.

To be more accurate it my trackpad connects briefly (though it never actually registers any touches) then immediately disconnects and happens repeatedly. I'm using a 6 month old 11" MacBook Air.

After updating my iMac to Mountain Lion, the Trackpad wouldn't connect. Tried everything to no avail until I noticed it was connecting to the MacBook Pro across the room (which it had never done before!). The MacBook Pro was asleep, too! Disabled Bluetooth on the MacBook Pro; paired the Trackpad to the iMac again, and all's well. See if your trackpad is not trying to connect to another bluetooth computer somewhere in the vicinity.

I have iMac 27. After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again. anyone with same issue?

I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week. Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac. i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional. Anyone with same issue or ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

After Update on Mountain Lion my Bluetooth is not working

Hello,
after I updated my iMac from Snow Leopard nach Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my Bluetooth is not working. Also my Magic Mouse works not correct. The scroll function is not available. What can I do?

Leibe AndreSch...I have encountered the same problem with Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Especially after 'sleep' mode the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are lost and although I keep an old wired mouse
handy for such problems....I can't access the Bluetooth settings to sort things.....the spinning ball nonstop.
What I do is...Force shutdown by holding power button for two seconds...When shutdown PULL power cord out from rear of iMac....wait 5 seconds.. replace and switch iMac on again.
As long as bluetooths ar 'discoverable' it restores connection.
We will both look forward to another Apple iMac software update to sort this glitch....or I HOPE so

Mountain lion - no bluetooth after install - STUCK!

Made second partition on iMac.
Installed mountain lion on second partition.
Stuck in perpetual set up mode - doesn't recognize wireless keyboard or mouse (and can't reset PRAM or boot to safe mode or change boot up partition since keyboard not recognized).
Unplugged for 30 sec and restarted - didn't help.
Any suggestions other than buy a USB keyboard/mouse tomorrow??
-bricked iMac...and confused since installed on second partition...

I just got Montain Lion from the App store and installed it right away on my 2010 MacBook Pro 15". Everything works fine only the bluetooth connection isn't working. In fact the system isn't recognising the bluetooth hardware at all. So i can't use my bluetooth keyboard and mouse with Montain Lion anymore.
After that i tried a fresh install on a separate HD with the same result. The System Information shows no information under the hardware / bluetooth menu.

Mountain Lion killed my Office 2008 suite!

Mountain Lion disabled my Office 2008 applications. I've tried installing the Office 2011 suite (don't have a key number for the 2008 version, so downloaded a 30-day trial version of 2011, it's also having stumbling/locking up). Should I simply uninstall Mountain Lion?
I really, really want to go back to yesterday, and not messing around with this. I'm also unable to migrate my old Entourage e-mail to Mail, so am completely cut off from my mail archive. Ugh.
Another question: is it possible to use Time Machine to simply set my entire system back one day? Would that have the same effect as an uninstall?
Thanks!
Tom

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't think I have an alternative to uninstalling, since I didn't export my Entourage info before installing Mountain Lion. Otherwise, I'd consider saying goodbye to Microsoft at this point.
When I look at the Time Machine contents for the date that I want to revert to, it shows simply the changed files for that backup -- which makes me nervous, but I'm assuming that the reinstall will take all files in Time Machine from that date, backward..? Time Machine is my only desktop backup.
Thanks!

Mountain Lion killing my system!!

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago shortly after it came out, my system is still running really poorly... I've hoped to give it time to settle down, for updates, and so on, but everything works very slow, transistions poorly, and it seems to hate my Adobe CS 5.5.
It's especially bad when I swtich from one application to another, such as InDesign to Illustrator, or from CS to Safari, or just try to close a program ofter using it for a while. Safari freezes constantly, which is something I had never experienced before with OS 10.7. Processes run slow on a regular basis in all the CS programs, and Pages or Numbers, and I get the rainbow wheel all the time in just about every program, and sometimes I get the little blue wheel with 4 quadrants. Closing Adobe CS programs has become something I've had to do when I'm not using them, in the hopes to free up RAM or processes or whatever for others, but they usually crash or just don't close when I do that. I never had to do that before 10.8.
I don't want to exaggerate which might impede anyone steering me in the right direction, but it really is as bad as I am trying to succinctly illustrate. Beyond this, my fan seems to ALWAYS be running - honestly about 75% of the time, and it always feels like it is running hot. I have to say, this is the worst experience with a new OS since OS 10 first came out around 11 or so years ago, or whatever it was. 10.7 always worked very well for me, especially with CS and other programs - I've never been at such a loss as to how to fix an OS issue.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have 4GB of RAM, and the early 2011 MacBook Pro (bought in July of 2011) with a 2.2 Intel i7. 21" LG LED monitor as the main display, running the laptop as the second window.

Thanks for sending that, but I've looked the activity monitor a lot recently. What are you suggesting that I do with this?
I've shut down my Adobe CS, and one or two other things I'm not using. But what about when I am using them? Why is 10.8 sucking up so much RAM, when 10.7 ran really well?

Mountain lion kills my battery

I have a mid-2009 MacBook pro. When running Lion, my battery life was around six hours. After installing mountain lion, my battery life is about an hour and fifteen minutes.

I am also having battery problems since installing ML. This is a MBP 13" early 2011 purchased August 2011, and before ML battery gave 7 7.5 hours. I recently monitored consumption running Safari, iTunes, Thunderbird.
time          %age Battery          Hours left
18.30               92                         6.53
18.45               88                         6.39
19.00               84                         5.04
19.30               76                         5.11
19.45               72                         5.02
20.00               71                         3.52
21.45               44                         3.06
So in 2 1/4 hours used over 50% of battery.   No good when I want to work away from base.
Are Apple really aware if this and are they working on an upgrade. I don't want to revert to Lion as there are so many good new features in ML, also am getting the 'beach ball' several times when opening sites in Safari.

Mountain lion killed my computer!

Does Mountain Lion kill Macs?

I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air last night. Went to start it up today...Nothing. Nada. Not so much as a whirr from the drive.
The only thing that's different is the new OS. I've tried all the usual combinations of keys suggested to get a Mac going again, but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

Yes, it is valid outside of USA. Please visit http://www.apple.com/asia/osx/uptodate/thailand/ and claim it. Make sure you read the information there carefully.

Upgrade to Mountain Lion kills Quicken access??

I just upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion, and now can't use my Quicken 2007 (Apple support didn't tell me that would happen). How can I get to my Quicken files to pay my bills? If I had known I would lose my Quicken, especially when I have bills to pay and statements to balance, I wouldn't have upgraded all the way to Mountain Lion. Help!!

This wouldn't be Apples responsibilty. Ideally, you should have checked to make sure Quicken 2007 was comaptible with 10.8 before upgrading.
Check with the developer of Quicken:
This is what I found, Only seems to be up to 10.7..
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/lion-compatible-quicken-mac-2007/GEN83769 .html
then this indicates it may be fine
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/pre-sales-questions/is-quicken-compatible -with-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion--/GEN84778.html
Check with Quicken for updates for the software, Hope this helps.

Java is required for Adobe Illustrator, as said by jimhere, in the begin of installation process and during the software operation! But the version 7 just don't be recognized by CS6. So, I've been searching for tutorials to reverse the version, from 7 to SE6, and found this step-by-step instructions in this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=pt_BR
After this procedures, the Java still don't appearing in Finder, but works fine as Java SE 6 update 37 in Java Tester: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
I believe the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 only work if you still have Java 6 installed after installing Java 7. I've tried them and still can't get CS6 to launch with Java 7 installed. Java 6 for Mac seems to have been pulled from Oracle's site (which makes sense, since they're EOLing it in February) and Apple's existing Java 6 installations (like this one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5493, or the risky MacUpdate one at http://macupdate.com/app/mac/39490/apple-java) fail for me because it claims a newer version of that same package is stalled.
So I'm stuck with a non-functional CS 6 that won't recognize Java 7, and no way to download the version it does recognize, so I can hack it together.
Is anyone running CS6 with Java 7?

Mountain Lion killed my Mini

Hmmm - what a mess. I downloaded ML - took many hours, then in the morning clicked "install". It went through it's gyrations, but I noticed that my screen kept toggling to "analog powersaving mode" and shutting off. Now that it is fully installed, this trend has continued. Even after a full shutdown and restart, about once every 30 seconds, for a second or two, I can see my screen. then it blanks out for another 25 seconds or so. Just keeps doing it.
The screen is fine, since I plugged it into my laptop and it works just dandy. Kinda dissappointed in Apple this time.

Thanks for the Idea. Unfortunately the PRAM reset didn't change things. The link lead me to the possiblity that the Power Management Unit was not happy - especially since I sometimes see the "Analog Power Saving Mode" message blink quickly on my computer screen. Tried resetting that and now don't have any screen writing at all. making it worse, I think. Shoot.
