My IMac shunts down or the mouse freezes seems to be after installing OS Lion
my IMac shuts down and I have to unplug it and turn on again or the mouse freezes and I have to restart the computer
I tried that solution, but it didn't help in my case. There is a workaround that usually works, though:
When the RMB stops working, use the "screen zoom" function (ctrl + mouse scroll ball) to zoom in to the screen a bit, then zoom out again. This usually makes the RMB start working again, at least for a while. If it doesn't help, then rebooting the computer usually does.
Still looking for a more permanent solution though.

Some mouse features don't work after installing Mountain Lion
Any one else having these problem?
Swipe between ful-screen apps: Does not work after system has been asleep. Have to restart or log out/in to get it to resume working.
Mission Control: Does not work.
Smart Zoom: Does not work.Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again. -
Any solution to the lack of search in Outlook after installing Mountain Lion?
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now all the cool Outlook search features:
Type a word in the search box
Type from:"name" in the search box
Don't work.
Any ideas? Any sense of whether either MSFT or APPL are planning to address this?I see two things. First, notice this fourth line from your GPT. It says ~73GB of disk space is not allocated to any partition, it's free space. Why?

The good news is that partition 4 for Windows in the GPT and MBR have the same start - end sectors. However in the MBR no partition is marked bootable. One must be bootable and it's customary for Apple to mark the Windows partition bootable. I strongly suspect this is why Windows is not a boot option, and it's rather easy to fix.

My suggestion is that you reclaim the missing free space before you proceed with MBR repair, but missing ~73GB of space isn't hurting anything. Try the following and report back:
diskutil list /dev/disk0
diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0 limits
Again both are read-only commands and do not alter the disk information in any way. -
In addition to my iMac, I have a Power Mac G4 (10.4.11 Tiger) which of course is pre-Intel. I can boot up and use for about 5 minutes before the mouse freezes. I believe something is
overheating. What would that be - so I can have repairs done? The machine is the Digital Audio version, M7627LL/A and Serial Number XB******KXQ.
<Edited By Host>Hello USME,
'Tis a common problem on old Macs.
Do as Allan says: open the door and blow out all the dust bunnies. Canned air from Wal-Mart or Radio Shack can be handy (though sort of expensive) especially for blowing through the back of the power supply. A cool Mac is a happy Mac.
Be sure your Mac can breathe. The air intake is on the bottom of the case, so be sure a deep pile rug or too many papers on your desk are not blocking the air supply.
Feel the power supply and the processor with your hand. They should be warm but not hot; if you have to move your hand away, that's too hot!
Check the fan on the power supply, and on the processor if it has one. Take a flashlight and peer in the back of the (Mac) case through the grille; make sure the fan is turning. If it's not, the power supply won't work for long.
Fans are not considered serviceable, though they will succumb to mechanics of determination. A CPU fan is easy and straightforward.
A fan replacement will not cure an already damaged power supply; the PS may already be done for. Used power supplies for a DA are hard to come by, and not especially cheap when found (c.$50). An entire working DA or Quicksilver may often be found for under $100 on eBay, and swapping in your HD is easy and simple... this might be cheaper and more expeditious than repairing an expired DA. Replacing a power supply is fairly easy, but it's a nuisance and requires a 2mm Allen head wrench in addition to the usual #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
In my experience, power supplies and CPUs are about equally likely to fail. There are a few other possibilities, but they are not nearly so common.
Good luck!... Jon -
Scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open
I would like to know if there is a way to scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open, like in Acrobat 5.0. If not with the mouse, is there another shortcut to go through the pages and adjust the size of the crop and see it on different pages? Thanks!
Yes, but I won't see what I'm cropping if I cannot scroll down while the window is open. Thank you for answering anyway!

After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll
After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll up or down. It will, on occasion, scroll left.
Which mouse do you have? If it has a mechanical scroll ball on the top then it's simply dirty and needs cleaning. However if you are using Magic Mouse then please click iMac SMC and PRAM reset and do both resets 2x.

After Installing ox lion, mac pro freezes after start up
so... just like the title says. after installing ox lion on my macbook pro ( i have snow leopard before. 4g memory), sometimes it freezes right after start up, and I could not click on anything, and i had to force it to shut down by holding the power button.
I don't know if anybody else have the same problem or not? is it a bug or something? hope it can be solved soon.....
Also, I have installed all the updates so far...Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) -

If your Mac boots to the Desktop without freezing, nothing to worry about. The screen color may vary somewhat betweeen one Mac OS X to another.
This can help startup issues also.

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use
Standard problem in ML.. apple do not seem to want to recognise.
Reboot the TC .. if that fails restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC... clients.. with 2min gap.
There are other suggestions like changing the password.. all they do is the same as reboot.
Read C12.. most quoted Q in pondini website history. This is asked 10 times a day.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Here is another way to get a useful utility in ML.. rather than toyland version.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool. -
Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.Hi Jeff,
Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
Hope it goes well,

my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?
I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset and SMC for good measure. -
After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple," This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

Solved problem with original Canon software. When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
You should still use Image Capture IMHO. If it was my gear, that's what I would do. No need to worry about software upgrades. -
