My MAcBook has 10.7.5 I wanted to update to Mountain Lion. I am told I cannot do this. Why? Also, my desktop has Calendar and MacBook has ICal I cannot link them together. Any help there?
My MacBook is 10.7.5 I wanted to update and purchase Mountain Lion app. I was told that I couldn't. I can understand, why? Also my newIMAC has Calendar and my MacBook has ICal. They are not linking together. CAn anyone help?
No, the model 4,1 Early 2008 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion.
It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion requires 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion no longer supports Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

This is my macs configuration:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06

What can / should I upgrade the system to...and how do I do it? Any advice greatly appreciated!
<Edited By Host>Many people are happy with OS X 10.5.8 but since you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that.
You can discover more about various Macs at: http://www.apple-history.com/
The OS numbers and names are:
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
You can buy Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
For details about upgrading this to Lion or Mountain Lion see:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
In each case check that your Mac complies with the requirements.
If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of the page. -
IP5 set up with all options...however new emails OLD like 13-14 years old have arrived in the IN BOX that say no "this message has no content", and I am not able to delete them. Any helpful ideas?
Hi 23672!
I have an article here that can definitely help you with that issue. The article is about what to do when a mail message has no content, and can be found here:
iOS 4: Unable to view message body preview or mail receives blank messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3426
Note that the article was written for iOS 4, but it will work in later iOS versions. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

I have found, in the past few days, since the latest update to Mountain Lion, if the Mac is put to sleep, there is no sound available when it wakes. I have to re-start to get sound back. Is this general??
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download -
I bought a new macbook pro but it doesn't want install os x mountain lion
I bought a new Macbook Pro but it doesn't want to install os x mountain lion.
I started the pc, filled in my language, chose "install os x mountain lion", it took a while, the pc restarted and asked the same things.
What am I doing wrong? I can not go to my desktop.
When the pc is restarted os x lion mountain is installed but i can't go to my desktop.Either that or they failed to install an OS on it before shipping.
For a brand new Mac, I'd return it.
Here is the article on Recovery, which is what you are seeing: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
The hard drive should have a hidden partition which holds the standard Recovery HD. That is what you use to repair and reinstall. If that fails, or you have to replace the hard drive, you can use Internet Recovery which boots into Apple's servers.
You could try Using Disk Utility to see if you can Repair the disk while booted into Recovery, but it just all sounds like a future of bad things if it starts out this way. -

Help!if i don`t update the lion ,is to say i can`t update the mountain lion?right?
Now, I don`t update the Lion ,but I want to update the Mountain Lion .Is to say I must first to update my mac to Lion,then I can update to Mountain Lion?right??// please give me a help thanks!
No App Store, no spaces, no Time Machine, etc. etc.
As I said, no technolgical advance, no compelling reason to use it. Time Machine is not at all what Apple once promoted it as, since they dropped it in Lion.
And as far as Lion goes, a few that could not adjust their habits to a few interface changes went back to SL, which is still two OSs ahead of you.
This has nothing to do with people not being able to adjust their habits; it has everything to do with productivity, loss of features, and introduction of a new, confusing set of behaviors.
I don't know where you get your numbers from, I would like to see you back up your claim of 'so many people' as 6 million copies were downloaded in the first week alone
I didn't cite any numbers, so wondering where I got them is pointless. Reciting a claim that over 6 million copies of Lion were downloaded in the first week proves nothing.
Judging by the number of people on the forums who are not at all happy with Lion and asking how to downgrade is evidence of user dissatisfaction. Most people who are dissatisfied will not say anything at all, resigning themselves to being required to use it, thus making them unhappy customers and less likely to purchase another Mac or any other Apple device in the future.
Yet you seem to claim that 10.4.11 is where people should stop?
I didn't say or imply anything of the sort. I said that there's no good reason to upgrade just because it's shiny and new. Mac OS X has become bloated with "features" that have little or no practical value, and are seldom used, while at the same time breaking long-established features for no good reason, and having no replacement in place. At the same time, features that worked perfectly well in 10.4.11 and before were deliberately removed from later versions, without prior notice and never restored, along with bugs being introduced that also have never been fixed.
That's not my definition of progress, and I'd wager millions of others share that viewpoint. -
iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
what fixes have you tried before coming here?
where is you library located?
how long has this been occuring?
did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

So I tried it again and it said I still have all the same updates like i had never tried to install them? Any help? I want the new Itunes.
Run through this list of fixes and see if there is anything wrong with your machine
by #10 you should be fixed to Software Update and get iTunes.

Then try Software Update again, and or download iTunes directly from Apple and install it

want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

I am a macbook pro user form last 2 yrs, recently i upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow leopard. Since then operational speed is a major concern. Now It has crashed so very badly that I am scared of my data.Please help me.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
