Mountain Lion MBPro auto display switching not working

I upgraded to Mountain Lion. My automatic graphics switching does not seem to work on my MacBook Pro. I use gfxCardStatus and it shows that my computer is using discrete graphics all the time and never switching back to Integrated Graphics.  I am using an Early 2011 MBP. I have tried turning the checkbox in Energy Saver on and off. I have tried switching to Integrated Graphics with gfxCardStatus. The computer will not switch to Integrated Graphics since I installed Mountain Lion. Anyone else??

Same here with rMBP, battery takes a nose dive running on the discrete processor. I can switch manually and force it but why does this not happen automagically?

    Word, Powerpoint, Excel - none of them work. . . . Any ideas?

    You can also try Pages for Word / Numbers for Excel. Both can import/export Word and Excel files.

  • I downloaded mountain lion and my audio does not work

    I Downloaded mountain lion and my audio input does not work. I am tryig to use it with Articulate.
    I rebooted twice, I ahve taken out the external mic
    I have looked in Utilities and see if the setting are muted but all ok
    I have looked in Activity monitor
    Please help
    Brett

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. If anything is plugged into the audio-out (headphone) port, unplug it.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
    Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
    3. You may need to darken the room for this step. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Even since I have been using mountain lion my Dreamweaver CS6 is not working.

    I have downloaded it again from Creative Cloud & also de-installed but it is just not booting at all from the icon in either the dock or applications. Please help?

    I just tried it on Mountain Lion and it does work. So there is something special about your system. It could be a font, it could be a preference file issue. Try opening Dreamweaver from a different user. Does it open?

  • Mountain Lion and Time Machine does not work

    After Mountain Lion upgrade I was able to backup once using Time Machine. Now TM suggest that I need 42 TB for my backup?!? I have 1TB hard disk on my Mac which has about 600GB of data on it. Time machine prepares the backup for around 10 minutes and then gives an error that my backup disk is too small (1.5TB) because the size of the backup would be 42TB. :-o I have booted my Mac, repaired permissions and searched for internet for tips. However, no luck until now. Any suggestions what could work?

    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then reboot as usual.

  • Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 'Add Bookmark Here' does not work in Safari

    Hi, since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, Safari does not add bookmarks to a folder on the Bookmarks Bar using the Add Bookmark Here sub menu item.
    The dialogue for adding the name of the Bookmark appears but I have to click OK twice and the bookmark does not save.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this bug?  Thanks...

    Thanks mejudy that worked!  Much appreciated
    I also tried removing the Bookmarks.plist file from the Safari library and restarting Safari.  I then quit Safari, copied the file back and now the Add Bookmark here sub menu has gone altogether. 
    Is that how its meant to be in Mountain Lion?

  • Messages on Mountain Lion: 2 separate accounts, but not working separately?

    On my iMac, I've been using Messages to text others with Messages. I use my Apple ID email address for this.
    Recently, another family member (who shares the computer) wanted to set up their own Messages account. I set it up (thinking I was doing it correctly). However, it appears that all messages are always using MY message id.
    Does there have to be another apple ID for the second Message account?
    While it gives the option to "start new messages using" the second account, when that person uses it, it appears that MY icon and account are being used. They always set it to use their message account to start messages. They set up their own icon and that's how we realized what is happening.
    All the messages that go to that person, seem to be using MY account, my message "i.d." and email address.
    I'm sure I did something wrong. When I disable my account, NO messages can come through.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No Problem.
    You used to be able to post pics by HTML which meant you circumvented the need to click pics to see them active.
    Glad you liked it.

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

Please find a solution for me.   About the TouchPad gesture: swipping inside from the left use to switch app, now does not work.swipping inside from the right use to bring out charm bar/ action centre, now does not work  

    Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.
