Mountain Lion will no longer connect to my Homeserver shared folders
Yesterday I did a complete system wipe of my Mabook Pro and intalled a fresh copy of Mountain Lion, all has gone well apart from the fact that I can't connect to my Homeserver shared folders or stream from it using Plex, it can remote desktop into it though. All other devices can still connect to the server and the laptop can connect to all other just fine, any idea what might be causing this problem? Many thanks in advance.
I found if you connect to the shares themselves it's a slight work around but not ideal, so instead of doing this:
smb://servername
you do this
smb://severname/sharename
Then if you add them to your favourites by clicking the plus icon in the server connect dialogue box (⌘+k) its liveable with, hopefully this gets sorted in the next OS update.

Mail in Mountain Lion can no longer connect to Hotmail server
A couple of days ago I suddenly got the warning triangle next to my hotmail accounts in Mail on my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Clicking on them or looking in the connection doctor just says that it can't connect to pop3.live.com, verify all account details etc. I've already tried all of the standard troubleshooting steps including (but not just) removing and re-adding the accounts and verifying all account details etc and nothing has worked.
Does anyone know if this is a Mail problem? Completely out of ideas and Google doesn't seem to have anymore answers to try...
Any help appreciated!Thought I had the same problem, find out that any account won't work. Hotmail/Webmail (domains)/work mail/ISP mail. Nothing works.
All give the time-out error.
edit:
Tried to add my iCloud mail, got the same error when setting up my account. -
My NetExtender VPN will no longer connect with the Lion upgrade. Can anyone help me?
My NetExtender VPN will no longer connect since I've upgraded to Lion. Can anyone offer some advice?
I have not found this to be a solution in my case. I have some Apple OS users, Fedora/Ubuntu users and Windows 7 users who are using the SonicWall client. They can connect to either location in the US fine. Once connected, they receive a DNS search domain of pppFrameEncoded =0; instead of our AD domains which are passed fine in Windows and additionally the correct DNS servers (IP addresses) are listed in preference above the local router IP of the user.
I found that the correct DNS and routes were listed in the SonicWall client and while could ping the IP of the resource, I could not resolve its hostname with the Network Utility. After manually adding the Search Domains (we have two) in preference and removing the previous above, I was then able to resolve lookups to the FQDN and IP but not the hostname. This really ***** for our Apple users who are mainly execs and use samba connections to shared resources. Strangely enough this also seems to impact the Apple iPad and iPhone 4 I have on iOS 5.1 as well. Any thoughts anyone? Can connect with no error, ping IP, can resolve easily FQDN and can access resources by IP or FQDN but not by hostname.
172.xxx.xxx.xxx works fine
smb://hostname.sub.domain.com works fine
smb://hostname does not but resolves
Anyone else run into this? It doesn't affect any Windows users at all. -
I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8. I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?
From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
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.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?

When I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my iMac, it will no longer allow me to use selected folders from iPhoto to run as my screen saver. Is there anything I can do to fix that? Thanks for your help.
Does this involve iPhoto i some way? Seems more like an issue with your web browser.

After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
Now iám using mac os 10.8.2
I can see the server, I can choose the drive, but when try to open a folder the message on Finder is: You don't have permissions to see the content.
I already delete the key and try to connect again, but the problem persist. Already try change the ip from file server. Already try differents users. (admin, guest, etc...)
I have a windows server 2008 and a NAS working with SMB protocol. Both with the same problem.
That problem occurs only on Finder, if I try see the folder by Terminal, is possible to see my files.
Any Solution ?
Any Tip ?
Any Question ?Not knowing how much RAM is installed in your iMac, your iMac can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I would strongly suggest installing the maximum 8 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Here is OWC's link to your model iMac and the RAM modules you will need.macsales
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
You can purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in the OS X dock.
Before installing, it would be prudent to make a backup copy of all of your important data or your entire current system. Either using, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives.
This is too insure protection of your data in case something goes wrong with the install of OS X Mountain Lion.
Good Luck! -
How do I find the address -thread - of a file. I used to use spotlight but after switching to Mountain Lion it no longer gives me this.
Hold Command-Option while pointing to an item in the Spotlight list. Or Command-Click will show the item in the Finder.

Upgraded to mountain lion, can no longer see D110 on WLAN
I recently upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion. It is connected to my FiOS home router via Ethernet (wired). I have a Photosmart D110 on my WLAN. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked fine. Since the upgrade, the iMac can no longer see the D110.
If I put the iMac on the WLAN it sees the D110, but it can't see it when the D110 is on WiFi and the iMac is on wired Ethernet. I'd like to keep the iMac on wired Ethernet, is there a fix?
I did try deleting the printer, connecting it via USB, and re-adding it to see if it would install any software updates, but I'm still having the same issue.
Thanks!fixed - found out I had to turn off IGMP Proxy in my FiOS home router. Why, I don't know.

Will Mountain lion will support the creation of Galleries
Does anyone know if Mountain lion will support the creation of Galleries like the ones produced on mobile me - I need to do this for business purposes - and does anyone have a good sugestion for an alternative - photoshop galleries lack a little flair.

I moved all my galleries to ZangZing.
There is no reason to think galleries has any connection to the OS version. It would require expansion of features in iCloud and the OS X version of iPhoto. -
Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store. It has been purchased and redeemed. I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow. I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again). When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad. I have tried this several times. I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air. I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again. Same results. Anyone?
Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.

An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) -

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows -
I have recently bought an 8Gb macbook pro. If I update it to mountain lion will it take half of the memory I have?
Well thats upto you but before any major update a backup is recommended, you should also be backing up your system as a matter of good housekeeping.
Time machine makes this very easy, you will require an external disk at least twice the size * of your hard drive in you Mac. Connect it to you Mac with USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, whatever you wish. You can use Time Machine to take a backup of the hard drive.
If you are unfortunate and have a hard drive fail you can recover all your data very easily.
Apple also sell a product called Time Capsule http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/ but I just use an External Disk.
*** Twice the size may be a bit excessive, it depends on how full your hard drive is and how much you expect it to fill.*** -
HT1338 Free Mountain Lion request, how long does it take to get a response??
Submitted my free request for software update to mountain lion yesterday, how long does it take to get a response, and where can I go to verify my request was received?/
I called them after waiting 12 hours and they said up to 72 hours and there was no place to check things in the meantime.
Their communication on this one is surprisingly bad, but apparently they have it under control. Time will tell. (It's now been about 36 hours for me with no code or confirmation email.)
