Mountain Lion slow network
We recently started using Mountain Lion at work, installed it fresh on a formatted server and we're having some terrible problems with the network. We have reinstalled twice and the problem persists;
Its running terribly slow on the local network. Downloading a small (~2MB) PDF is taking around 30 - 60 seconds. Internet is running fine, downloading goes at a realistic speed, on both the server and the machines we are trying to connect locally.
The server is connected via ethernet, the other machines we have connected via ethernet and WiFi with no difference. Everything is running slow, Wiki Server, Profile Manager, WebDAV, etc.. Initially we thought it was due to the server memory, as it was running around 90% usage, but after upgrading it we're still having the same issues. A lion server in the exact same situation works fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Here are the netstat results.

Mountain Lion slows down my iMac
Mountain Lion slows down my iMac .
iMac 27 inch late 2009
3.06 GHz intel core 2 Duo
My computer was working really well despite its age until I installed the new Mountain Lion.
Now I find that it is much slower .
The main problem is between stiching from one programme or another I get the spinning wheel for maybe 10-15 seconds,
even switching between tabs in web browser .
Any genius to help with this problem ¿?¿?¿??¿
Thank you .where do I find

Re mountain lion slower than paint drying ...update
See previous post "mountain lion slower than paint drying"
Sadly I'm back. Things worked fine for a while but starting up takes about half an hour and I just can't spend the rest of my life waiting for the little ******* to do its thing...
The Hal beachball is back and every piece of software even the finder crashes constantly...Force Quit is not my friend.
My most recent attempt to keep my sanity was to wipe the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from the original disk. Hal is still not happy.....
Is there anything else I can do?
Time machine won't go through its paces so I have no backups on the laptop....no previous data (all still on external drive)
This Macbok pro is a MAJOR DISASTER.....Help me Obie One....Help Me!!!!You're positivity in the midst of chaos is refreshing! Apple should hire you as the official Apple Communities Grief Counseler
Can you charge a computer with murder?
If Ray Kurtzweil is right (The Singularity Is Near ), then soon enough, yes. Hal will be convicted on all counts.
Sadly we still have a missing iPhoto...So Apple expects me to pay $15.99 for it and it only works on 10.7 and above???
Did you have the original iLife CD? I am pretty sure that your machine ships with it (could be wrong). If you don't have it, you can contact Apple and ask for them to send a replacement free of charge. It had to have gotten on there somehow originally.
Now on the whiskey....
Right there with you. Neat or on the rocks? I prefer the former in your situation, in most situations, all the time.

IMac w/ Mountain Lion, Slow/laggy internet
Im having a slow or laggy internet problem.
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

1TB hard drive
space utilized 373.09 GB

I recently came home from vacation a few weeks ago. Mac was powered down for 5 days. Started up machine and noticed a lag whenever I clicked on a web page. Page starts to load, there is a 10-15 second delay, then the rest of the page loads. It was extremely noticeable on youtube. Every action in safari or firefox was slow. Loading multiple youtube videos in different tabs was never a problem, now there is problems with videos loading extremely slow. Loading one video is nearly impossible. Web pages will load normal on one try, then a second later, you click to go to another page, extreme lag. Attempting to load flash style videos, lag when starting, bar on videos will load 1%, then lag for 10-15 seconds, then start loading the video's.
I got fed up and ended up updating to Mountain Lion after about a week. Along with using onyx to clean everything up. Installed Mountain Lion, speed seemed to return to 75% normal speed (original speed before problem developed). Lags were slightly there, but for the most part everything seemed good. A day or two later lag was back. Web pages are slow or laggy to load, videos inparticular. Sometimes I have to refresh pages because they stop loading halfway through.
Called my ISP they walked me through a bunch of tests and said the speed of the connection is fine, that it must be the computer. I pulled out an old Macbook I had (OS X 10.4) and there is no lag like on my iMac. There is no lag to start the loading of a video, then it starts, then the 10-15 lag, then continuing to load it.
Network set up is a motorola mstatea, apple airport express with airtunes, and an at+t microcell. mac is connected via airport to the wireless network. lag is still present with direct ethernet connection to modem.
One of the main uses of this machine is listening to multiple youtube videos during my work day. I used to be able to put a few in a queue, let them play. I now have to get up and go to the computer on every new video, to pause the playing of the video while it buffers and deal with the lag.
What can I do to fix this??Hi, this has worked for a few...

How do you stop Mountain Lion slowing everything down
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion - which I so regret doing now.
I have a 24 inch iMac core duo 2.6ghz with 8 GB RAM (mid 2009) and a mid 2010 Mac Mini core duo 2.4ghz with 4GB RAM - so both with maximum RAM installable. Both Hard drives are under half full.
I use the Office 2011 for Mac software as well as the normal iLife suite. I occasionally use parallels to run some Windows software, but I always swith parallels off when not using it. And I occasionally have logmein running when I am going to be away for a few days, but switch it off when I am back. That's it - nothing too weird.
Since upgrading both to Mountain Lion I now experience a hige slowness in using anything. Web pages take ages to load. A Word dociment can take 30 second to open. It takes over 90 seconds to start up iMovie etc.
I saw posts on this formum suggesting that I
a) Repair disk permissions
b) delete the caches in ~/Library and in /Library
c) reboot
I have done all these things. Immediately afterwards my system speeded up to a more acceptable level. But 2 days later and it is back to an unacceptable slow speed
Surely I dont have to keep doing the three things above every day?
is there a way of going back to Snow Leopard? That will be much cheaper than having to buy a new iMac (which are way too expensive and the 21inch screen would be a downsize from what I have now and the bigger screen is even further beyond my budget
Or can anyone help me get Mountain Lion working quickly - all the time?
Many thanksI have the same early 2009 24" iMac as you do and I just completed reverting back to Snow Leopard from Mountain Lion.
The process was time consuming and took about 3 days to do. I also reverted an early 2011 MacBook Pro which also took 3 days.
Basically the first thing is to completely backup your machine as it now is under Mountain Lion. You may also want to drag and drop all of your user folders and shared folders onto the backup HD. Make a copy of all of your passwords, software licenses and the Mountain Lion keychain onto the backup HD.
iLife '11 and iWork '09 run under Snow Leopard and so those are not an issue. They can just be reinstalled after Snow Leopard is running.
The four parts of the reversion that entail some work are; 1: converting your Mountain Lion Mail boxes to Snow Leopard, 2: converting your Mountain Lion iPhoto Library back to Snow Leopard, 3: converting your Contacts (Address Book) to Snow Leopard and 4: converting Calendar (iCal) to Snow Leopard.
Converting Mountain Lion Mail to Snow Leopard
1. From your user Library, copy the Mail folder to your backup HD
2. Double-click the Mail folder and the V2 folder will open
3. Double-click the V2 folder and your will have a list of your email addresses and a folder called Mailboxes
4. These folders contain your mail box files (mbox) from which you can recover all of you email and import it back into Snow Leopard. In each email account, you will need to open a number of folder to get to the actual mbox file. The Mailboxes folder contains your On My Mac mailboxes (you may or may not have any of these).
Converting Mountain Lion iPhoto Library to Snow Leopard:
1: Control-click (Right Click) the Mountain Lion iPhoto Library file
2: Look for a folder named Masters
3. The Masters folder contains all of your original, unmodified photos
4. Copy the Masters folder to your backup HD as you will use it to import your photos into the Snow Leopard iPhoto Library
Converting Mountain Lion Contacts to Snow Leopard
1. From Mountain Lion, export all of your contacts as vCards and save these on your backup HD
2. These vCards will be imported into the Snow Leopard Address Book
Converting Mountain Lion Calendar to Snow Leopard
1. From Mountain Lion, export all of your calendars as iCal files and save these on your backup HD
2. These iCal files will be imported into the Snow Leopard iCal (Calendar)
Be sure to do all of this preparatory work first and that the backup files are usable.
Using the Snow Leopard installation DVD, restart your machine while pressing the C key to start from the DVD. Use Snow Leopard's Disk Utility to erase the hard drive completely overwriting it with zeros. (Be sure to select the hard drive itself and not just the Macintosh HD partition as you want to completely erase the HD). This will take about an hour and a half.
Next, Install Snow Leopard and then apply ALL software updates. You will need to repeat Software Update until Software Update displays the software is all up to date message. Next install iLife, iWork and all other Apple software and again, apply ALL software updates. The point is to get the standard Apple software running and configured before installing any other applications.
The iTunes library is the same for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion so just restore your iTunes library from the backup and it will work.
At this point you can restore your Mail, iTunes, iPhoto Library, Contacts and iCal. When all of the Apple components are running correctly, install all other software and restore your user data.
I've been a programmer and in the IT industry for over 30 years and if there is one piece of advice I can give you it is this: take your time doing all of this and be sure that each component is working correctly before moving on to the next. It's tedious and time consuming but it can be done.
For me, the deal breaker with Mountain Lion is the way that saving files is implemented. This is a type of version control and version control has always been problematic just as syncing is. You never know what syncing really means and what is changed until it's too late.
Also, there was a lot of useful functionality removed in Mountain Lion and a number of things added that have no place in an operating system. -
Mountain Lion, home network and choosing a new printer...
We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. We have multiple iMacs and use an AirPort Extreme. We also have iPhones and iPads. I am upgrading my printer, but am unsure how to make sure the printer will be compatible and will work on our network. This has been an issue in the past and networking is not my strongest skill. What do I need to look for to ensure my investment is not a waste of money?
I am looking at the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276mw, HP LaserJet Pro300 color MFP 375nw but am still open to other options if it suits our needs and will work with our network.Eric, I just found that document a little while ago. It was what influenced me to choose the 200 series, since it was on the list.
I believe you are correct Gerald. I believe I am now planning on buying, but I want to ensure I know how to install it so everything will work properly. I am not sure if that will require a direct network connection, wireless or something else. I don't like to get something, know it *should* work and fail to be able to accomplish that. LOL
I called the folks at HP. Luckily for me the Mac tech support section is closed on the weekends and only works Monday - Friday. *sigh* -
Purchase Mountain Lion for network installation
Hi I've been having freezing/lockup issues with my iMac (mid 2007). It is currently running Lion 10.7.5
I had it into the Genius bar, they checked the hardware and said it was good, the issue was coming from 'one of my files' on my backup. (I had restored from a Time Machine backup).
So, I am trying to run a network install to do a 'clean' install of Mountain Lion, but it says I haven't purchased it yet and won't let me proceed with the install. Seems like a simple question, but how do I purchase Mountain Lion so I can do a network install without being on my iMac?
If I can do a network install, then I can troubleshoot the backup files and have a known fresh starting point if I need to reimage.
Any thoughts or pointers appreciated.I will try that again, and post the results. Suffice it to say I have done quite a bit of troubleshooting and tried various things. At this point I would just like to be able to get back to a clean image and then troubleshoot which files on my backup may be contributing to the issue. If anyone else has ideas on how to purchase ML without using my iMAC please let me know - I can get it to run for about 5 minutes (when I restore from a TM backup) but then it just freezes or generates Kernel errors. Genius bar told me all the hardware checked out.

Can't login after Mountain Lion upgrade (Network accounts are unavailable)
I performed a Mountain Lion upgrade on a 2011 MBP running Lion this weekend. The Mac may have been set up to connect to an AD server with my user account, but I thought I had disabled that months ago... aparently not. I performed the upgrade at home not on the corporate network.
On first bootup after the Mountain Lion upgrade I'm stuck at the login screen unable to login with my local account or the admin account. I get the "red dot" next to the username field with the "Network accounts are unavailable" pop up. I'm plugged in to the ethernet network at work now... no luck.
I tried booting into the repair disk and repairing disk permissions. Still no luck.
Any ideas? I'd happily do a fresh install but I need to get a handful of files off the machine first.No worries with the basic questions... it's important to cover all the bases. Thanks so much for the input.
- I'm trying to log in with the same username I would use to ssh in... so yes.
- I don't know if the account was a mobile account. The Mac was given to me configured about a year ago, configured to be on the domain. I since have used it on and off many networks without considering it was set up to be on a domain.
- Never had a problem logging into the machine before the mountain lion install, although to be honest it was very very rarely ever rebooted.
- I've plugged it into ethernet and let it sit for quite some time. It's still telling me Network accounts are unavailable and I'm unable to login with my personal or admin account. -
Mountain lion upgrade network failure
Hi,
I´ve done the upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.8 on a MacPro (2010) from USB-stick. Everything works fine, but no networks after restart! When I klick the networks-icon in system pane, I only get the spinner and system pane crashes. Update 10.8.1 installed, the same...
Before the upgrade my mac works stable with 10.6.8 and 3 vlans on ethernet1.

I recently installed ML on my new Mac Air and have had significant slow down on safari's loading as well as keyboard being non responsive with pcanywhere!!!
I need to uninstall ML and go back to my lightning speed of lion.
Any suggestions?
Specs;
500 G flash Storage,

How do I go about restoring and what are the losses I can expect?
Thank you, -
Will OS Mountain Lion slow down my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running 10.7.5?
I have a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) that is currently running OS Lion 10.7.5. I was just wondering if updating to OS Mountain Lion would slow it down in terms of performance, or if it will have any other bugs on my MacBook?
PS. When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?
A back up is a precaution that you should always have, not just when installing an update to the OS. Its purpose is no different from the seat belt you wear when you drive. Use it all the time, and hope it will never be really necessary. -
Why did Mountain Lion slow down my shut down and boot up time for my MacBook Pro?
I had Snow Leopard, and not Lion. My shut down time rose from about 5 seconds to 10-15 seconds. My start up time also increased noticeabley. Any reason why because I thought Mountain Lion was supposed to be faster.
I have very few apps other than what came on my MBP. I've checked most other, really dont think this is the problem. My MBP is not junked/cluttered up. Not many programs, just pictures, videos, and some docs. Everything seems to work smoothly once on, but the start up and shut down times are still double what they were when I bought with snow leopard (Not Windows like, but scary close). I cannot find any solution that will work. My opinion, should not have to do a clean install for it to work. Some folks have not experienced these issues, so I think its some setting or something else that is my problem.
