Mountain Lion pdf manual

I'm in immediate need of a pdf manual for Mountain Lion.  My mom just got a Macbook Air for Christmas.  I'm a Windows person so I'm learning as well in order to teach her. 
All I can find online is the Snow Leopard manual, but that is a few years old.  I know that Mountain Lion is version 10.8.xx right now, so I want to get the most up to date information.
This will be the best way for her to learn the os.  She connects to the internet through the cell phone hot spot, so she has to watch her data usage.  All she does is get email, look at Facebook, and play games already on the computer.  
She will not take advantage of all the videos etc on the internet due to a data allowance on her cell phone plan.
Is such a manual available?  Thanks.

    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
    2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
    3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
    4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

  • My OS X Mountain Lion PDF wont open - invaild code - Please help

    I bought this MacBook Pro on june 21. Its brand new, so yes I qualify for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. I finally got my 2 emails and I seriously have no idea what to do. The instructions make no sense at all. I open the PDF and enter my code I was given via Email and its too long / doesnt fit in the Protected Password PDF. I click enter, doesnt work, I enter parts of it, and it doesnt work. no matter what it doesnt work. I tried entering the code on the Reedem section of the Mac App store, still does NOT work. What am I doing worng? I called the Apple store and they said I was entering the code in worng. I am NOT entering it in wrong, I copy paste it and it just doesnt work. I entered it multiple times with the - and without it and it just wont work! Someone please help! I was promised a FREE mountain lion upgrade and I really want it for the Airplay feature!
    I can provide my Claim number / password if needed.

    Since these forums are user to user only, you will have to deal with Apple on this; I'd suggest emailing their MAS support and telling them that you've gotten an incorrect code (copy/paste it in the email). Ask them for a new one or instructions on what to do with it.
    Just an added thought: when you launch MAS (from your dock, Launchpad, or Applications folder), on the home / front page, do you see a "Redeem" link under Quick Links on the right side of the page? When you click on that, you should get a second window with a "enter your gift card or download code" section? Or is that the place where you've already tried it?

  • Incorrect password for mountain lion pdf

    Sorry, I'm french so i don't speak english very well.
    My problem is : i can't open the pdf withe the code because it tell me that the password is incorrect. Someone has an idea or is in the same case.
    Thx

    You're not alone.  Apple technical support tells me their server is under pressure because so many people are trying to download Mountain Lion today -- I'm one of them. They suggest first shutting down the entire computer. Then restart and go back to the Apple email where the PDF is located. TYPE in (do not copy) the password you have been sent. They say that some systems' security systems have an intentional foil that stops the copying in of passwords.
    They tell me what is outlined above has worked for a good number of people who have called today with the same problem. It didn't work for me, most likely because of their server issues, they think.  They suggest retrying from time to time. In my case, they will also call me back in a few hours to see how this has gone.
    Good luck.

  • Hanging problem with Adobe CS6 in Mountain Lion

    I recently upgraded my retina Macbook pro to Mountain Lion and was having some trouble with Adobe CS6 apps hanging on startup among other things (including iCal crashing on startup)
    I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and Manually rebuilt my applications folder so that Adobe MAster COllection was installed freshly on a clean install of ML.
    Now it is still sporadically hanging when I try to open Photoshop, Bridge or other Adobe apps. The only thing that seems to fix it is a restart which is inconvenient when you're in the middle of work.
    ANy ideas?

    Thanks for this. I had heard of the fonts problem some people have had. All my fonts were freshly installed by either the system or Adobe when I installed Master Collection. Following your advice, I just verified every font and the only problem that showed up (as you had predicted) was a minor duplication which I corrected. So, it seems unlikely to be the fonts.
    As for your other point, I have been using Final Cut Pro X and that has worked fine. The only other app that has given me trouble has been Calendar which seems to get strangely stuck sometimes while it is updating. Makes me wonder if there's something going on with the network I'm using. 
    One thing I hadn't thought of was that it could be a problem with gfx card switcher. This seems unlikely but I'll try disabling it and see if that helps.
    Weirdly, today when I had this issue, Photoshop loaded up ok but then hung when I tried to load any file into it. Bridge wouldn't start at all. I didn't try the others. Yesterday I was having problems with Illustrator.
    Anyway, I see what you mean about it not being a widespread problem - which is why I started this thread. It seems no one else is having any issues. If anyone else knows what I should look for in my configuration please let me know.

  • How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion

    How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion without manually going back day by day? I would ike to be able to use Calendar as a searchable log.  I do not care about syncing with iOS, just finding an event or notes in an event, such as "oil change", "research paper turned in", "dr. appt."  The find function only works on future evernts.

    I tried the "year" view, but it makes not difference.  A Spotlight search does not present the info in a calendar format, only in an events and reminders format. It also only seems to be finding the "today" view, but it is impossible to be sure since it only shows a time for the event but no date.  There has to be a way to find the last time or all the times I made a Dr.'s appointment without going through an entire year or more day by day.

  • PDF exported from Pages (mountain lion) results in jagged font not smooth

    I am using Mac air mid-2012 + Mountain Lion (OS X 10.9.4) + Pages (5.2)
    I used Arial - Regular - font 12 pt to write a resume. After I export to PDF the font on pdf looks anti-aliased, jagged not smooth on 100% scale. The font in Pages is ok.
    I export the same file to *.doc and opened it with OpenOffice and export to PDF using OpenOffice, the font looks no problem.
    I have the option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" option checked in system preferences.
    Does anyone have the same issue?

    This is a known issue in Pages 5's tables. Pages 5 has been out for 9 months now and there is no sign of Apple fixing the issue.
    Use Pages '09 if you have it.

  • Mountain lion upload pdf

    I can't upload pdf's after I installed mountain lion.  It really messed me up.  All three of my macs.  I have to upload into the court system daily.  Help!!!

  • Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

    I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
    I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
    I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
    Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
    The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
    Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
    Any suggestions?

    I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
    I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

  • How can I print a PDF document in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and now 10.8 Mountain Lion.  I am extremely disappointed that I can no longer print (to my printer) ANY PDF documents either through Adobe or straight from a website.  Is there a way to deactivate the security feature that is blocking this?  I also own the newest version of Parallels (desktop 7) and cannot print through Windows either.  It's beyond annoying.  Thank you! 
    Matt

    I can print (such as e-mails, driving directions, etc), but nothing that is related to Adobe or PDF.  I have a Dell 1710 printer that is connected to my airport extreme wirelessly.  The printer has always worked on my I-mac since I bought it in 2007.  It stopped printing PDFs ont he Mac when Adobe was upgraded about a year ago.  I was then able to print through Adobe in Parallels/Windows.  Since the new OSX 10.6 and 10.8 came out, nothing prints through Adobe in either place.  I hope that helps.

  • Opening PDF in CS6 - Mountain Lion

    Hi all,
    I am running CS6 on my MAC Pro OS Mountain Lion. When trying to open a multi page PDF in illustrator I often do not get the page selection pop up and it automatically opens the first page of the PDF in illustrator. It is very hit and miss which PDF's will offer me the option to select the page to open and which will not, as some work just fine but equally some will only open the first page.
    Is anybod else finding this an issue?
    Thanks

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).
