My MacBook freezes suddenly since the Mountain Lion instalation

It happens one or two times a day. When it happens I need to restart the MacBook by holding the Power button. I already reinstalled Mountain Lion, the problem still occurs. The Apple Hardware Test showed no problem, what shell i do?

If your original machine had 10.5, it's really too dated to run OS X 10.7 or 10.8, not to mention all your PPC based programs will fail to run

and likely 90% of your Intel processor ones, all will require paid upgrades. You also need more RAM (4GB+)
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
, but can't do anything about older, slower processors and graphics.
There has been reports, and my older laptop too, that got permanently bricked upgrading to the Lions, so I really don't advise it for anyone who is not under AppleCare.
How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard
I have a flashing white screen with an apple and no entry logo?
Well lets see if you have a Recovery HD partition.
Press the power button down to do a hard shutdown and reboot holding the command and r keys down on a wired/built in keyboard. This should get you into Recovery and from there launch Disk Utility and repair the Macintosh HD and permissions.
Also repair the User Permissions as outlined here, just continue with the Steps.

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

hey everyone,
i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep- I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever-- this is driving me crazy- I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
Just to be sure it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end result is
SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
as it does my macbook pro -- they BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
THIS IS SO ANNOYING ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

Can't open pics in Preview since Mountain Lion install

Hi - I use Preview to open my iPhoto pics and then save them at a smaller resolution for using on my web pages, blogs, emails etc. It's a bit cumbersome but it works. Now, since I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook (so it will sync documents with my iPad) blow me - I find I can't open files in Preview! I get a box headed 'icloud for Preview.' The text then says: 'You can move your existing documents to icloud by dragging them here from the finder or other apps.' There's then an option to cancel, and a greyed-out box saying Open, but of course I can't open anything! It means, really, that I have lost the ability to edit my pictures with Preview. Is this right? And is there anything I can do about it? Also, I notice my iPhoto icon has disappeared from my Finder so I can't open iPhoto from there. It's all happened since the Mountain Lion install. Can anyone help, please?

I don't know about your Preview problem and I am interested to see responses about it.
When you say no iPhoto in Finder. Do you mean iPhoto is not listed in the Applications folder? If you do a Finder search on iPhoto is it found. Mine is in "Bobs HD>Applications

Trackpad issues after mountain lion install

Since my Mountain Lion install, the trackpad on my 15" MBP will track, but won't select anything. Hot corners aren't working, the dock won't appear, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?

Got similar issues, no notifications and no switching between full screen apps (4fingerswipe). Some swipe features work, no secondary click in bottsom corners...Trackpad operational under Mountain Lion a total nuisance compared to Snow Leopard...PLease Apple, show some respect again to your faithfull customers and show some response!

Mountain lion install crashes-corrupted download

Twice now, after lengthy downloads to my 27" IMac running 10.6.8. the mountain lion install crashed in the early stages with the same error message that the download is corrupted. please delete the install package from the application folder and repeat the download. After the second try, I decided to try downloading Lion which I purchased early this year but never downloaded.
Any suggestions?

The installation could not be completed because errors were found on your drive. Boot up again while holding down the option key and the select Recovery partition. From there, open Disk Utility and first verify and then, if needed, repair the disk "Macintosh HD". If your drive is 'fixable' this will repair any errors.

My iTunes match on my MacBook Pro hasn't worked since Mountain Lion install. Tried Apple Tech but all their suggestions didn't solve the issue. Guess I will try them again on Monday. Clearly this is a common problem and a Mountian Lion conflict issue.

iTunes match hasn't worked since Mountain Lion install. Cloud icon keeps striking~ off. Won't upload new tracks to iTunes match. Just the eternal circle of step one, two, freeze....then tries again but never gets completed. Worked fine before Mountain Lion. Apple tech tried over phone for an hour but it didn't solve this issue. See others are in the same boat. Any help with this, please??

Same issue here with a MacBook pro recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I hadn't tried iTunes Match prior to the upgrade so can't say whether or not it worked previously.
Getting quite frustrated!

I have to input a password in order to log in each time I turn on my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now my built-in keyboard suddenly doesn't respons at all. And the bluetooth function seems to activate automatically even though I turn it off

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Mac Pro freezing since Mountain lion installed

I'm getting freeze ups on my Mac Pro since downloading Mountain Lion...any way to fix this or get my Lion OS back?

Morning, glad things are going ok .
I haven't re-installed Sophos yet. The Sophos forum are saying there's still an issue, so until I hear that they have resolved it, I'm leaving it uninstalled.
Under Lion, it used to run in the background with minimal resources being used. I hope Sophos can get the issue resolved ASAP for Mountain Lion.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!
