My Airport doesn't function with Mountain Lion. Why?

I have an Airport 6.1., and it won't function with Mountain Lion. If this is a software issue, does anybody know if Apple have any plans to upgrade their software. Hopefully I won't need to buy a new Airport base station. I don't know how to contact Apple support directly without paying for it.

6.1 is a version of AirPort Utility....the software application in Lion and Mountain Lion that is used to configure Apple routers. This software is not compatible with older versions of the Apple AirPort routers.
It sounds like you have an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme.....or.....an older version of the AirPort Express.
Can you provide more information so we can help? Once we have the info, we may have a possible workaround for you.
If you have an AirPort Express, look for the Model No on the side of the device and post back with that info. It will likely be either A1084 or A1088.

HP Digital Filing function doesn't work with Mountain Lion....?!

My HP Officejet L7780 is an All-in-One with a fabulous feature of Direct Digital Filing allowing us to do a digital scan and filing into a folder on my Mac. It is operated entirely from the printer by a single button.
It works perfectly on my MBP with Snow Leopard.
On my new MBP with Mountain Lion this function does not work - (the printer cannot find the computer, or says it is not turned on or it is not accessible..) Applecare cannot explain it - the Apple Genius does not know how to fix it - HP washes their hands saying the printer is no longer Supported.....
I have a perfectly good printer/scanner/copier/fax - and i can still call a scan from my computer - but i can no longer send a file from the printer.
I've done all the software downloads, uninstalled and reinstalled all the MAC-OS and Printer software, 3 times - looked throughout the HP website for udpate drivers to work with OS10.8
Does anyone know how to fix it, please ?

Hi ShlomiL,
Thanks - i'm sure your answer is correct, it is totally consistent with the observed facts. but i ask myself WHY, oh WHY does Apple do such a short-sighted move to cut off legacy apps or legacy hardware forcing people either to not adopt their latest hardware/software, or waste totally good office equipment which is still perfectly workable.
As luck would have it, i have an MBP with OS10.6 for my business - i can do a Direct Digital file scan to it perfectly OK but my new Retina MBP which i use for all my personal finances, taxes etc is the one i want to use with the printer, at home.
I can get stuff from the scanner to my home MBP but have to do that poor workaround - and i refuse to be forced to trash a perfectly good 4 year old printer just to please some software re-designer.
Is there a work-around (hack ?) where i can download the old SMB file/driver into Mountain Lion and replace the SMBX version which comes with the new OS, please ?

Airport extreme A1143 problem with mountain lion

what airport extreme software version works with mountain lion

I have an A1143 here and it works just fine with AirPort Utility 6.2 in Mountain Lion.
It also works fine with AirPort Utility 5.6, which I have on another Mac here.
All you can really do is try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme to clear out all the old....and possibly conlficting.....settings and try to configure it again.
If you continue to experience problems, I would suspect a less than perfect AirPort Extreme....although I am sure that the seller claimed it was perfect.

Airport Express doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I installed Mountain Lion and now my airport express doesn't work as a way to play itunes through another set of speakers.
Not only that... but the airport utility doesn't support my airport express.
Time Machine doesn't work either....
I want my snow leopard back!!!
Any insight????

I understand that Airport Utility 5.6 must be used to configure it... but that being an older version... I can't install it with the new OS... RRRGGGGGHHHH Mountain Lion!!! I'm not liking the switch at all. I've spent more time fixing problems with this ... how can I go back???

HP 3052 scanner doesn't work with Mountain Lion

So I upgraded MacBook Air to Mountain Lion and everything seems fine except I can't use scanner function on my HP 3052 AiO. The printer still prints OK but I can't see scanner anymore.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I affraid scanning is no longer supported for your product while using Mountain Lion, actually the same applies for any Mac OS X version starting from 10.6.
You may find this information stated in here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
You may try using an earlier software version (The latest version intended for 10.5), however it is not assured to work and you may try it at your own risk.
In order to install the previous software you may try following the workaround below:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the LaserJet 3052 printer and click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 software below by clicking the download button:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140784&swItem=ma-58935-1&prodNameId=114077 9&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Follow the installation by skipping the Setup Assistant till the installation will finish.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Mountain Lion:
Open Terminal from the Utilities folder
Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
Right-click (or CTRL+Left click) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
Open the “Contents” folder and then click “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter.
Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete the installation.
Good luck,
Shlomi

Safari doesn't work with Mountain Lion

I have installed OS X Mountain Lion. Now Safari and Apple Store doesn't work anymore. :-( What can I do? I've tried to Install Safari again but the problem is always the same!

Generally this will solve it, you can also try repairing permissions, once in a while it will help as well:
Repair your permissions. Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box. Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen. Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.

Isight doesn't work with mountain lion

Hi, I recently upgrade my Macbook Pro to mountain lion, but, my Isight camera doesn't work. Neither, Photo booth or face time recognize it.
Did I miss something during installation? Does it have solution?
thanks for the help.

Hi, I have probably the same or related problem.
After I made the upgrade to 10.8, the camera (integrated iSight) started making problems.
When I log out or restart, everything works (PhotoBooth, Skype), but after a couple of days running
the integrated iSight can not be accessed any more. Skype and PhotoBooth say "no camera".
About my configuration:
I have a 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2009, 2.53GHz with Nvidia 9400M 256MB RAM.
I hope the coming update 10.8.2 will fix it.
This is the my first time, where after an upgrade something stops working.
I would almost say, this must related to Sleep/Resume because I never shut down my notebook,
except for calibrating the battery.

How can I manage an older airport express base station with Mountain Lion?

This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
I tried to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on my Mac OSX 10.8 Mac Book and it will not allow me to. How do I manage my "older" airport?

The 5.6 version can be installed but it does take an alternative route to do so. For example, you can use a utility like Pacifist to first extract the utility, and then, move it to the Utilities folder. Once "installed" by this method, it runs just fine on Mountain Lion.

HT5444 mac pro 2007 and later doesn't work with mountain lion

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
      loads select your language and click on the Continue
      button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
      Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
      of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
      the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
      info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
      the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
      from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Mobile Datastick HUAWEI E1221 doesn't work with Mountain Lion!

After updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I have noticed that my mobile datastick doesn't work. The stick is recognized as virtual disc and I can only install the install.pkg. Then happens nothing. No window opens (as before). How can I connect to the internet now? Will there be new drivers for the E1221 or do I have to get another one? And if yes, which is supported by 10.8?

Gee thanks
iLife is not available for a PC --
Of, course, it is pretty irreleveant to this discussion, but I thought I would point it out.

Epson 3880 printer doesn't connect with mountain lion

My Epson 3880 printer is connected to my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion with a USB cable. Since changing to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to print. I've replaced the driver on the original software disc with the current driver shown on the Epson website with no improvement. The message I get tells me that the printer is "not communicating" with the Macbook. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be great.

Try deleting the /Library/Printers/Epson and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, resetting the printing system in Print & Scan prefs, then installing the printers from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
Hope this helps

Facetime doesn't work with mountain lion : the registering device doesn't have the appropriate credentials

As soon as i enter my apple ID, this message pops up in red the registering device doesn't have the appropriate credentials
This is really weird since facetime was perfectly working with lion. Is this happening to anyone ?

Internal speaker doesn't work with mountain lion

Hi,
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.
