No Dial Up support with Mountain Lion?

  My father updated his laptop to Mountain Lion.  We have a cottage in north-western Ontario - not very tech friendly.  There is no high speed or wifi, we only have dial up.  We went to connect this weekend only to find out that they took that option away with the upgrade. What gives?  We may be a small part of the consumer base, but really, we can't be the only place to not have these options?
  Anyone have suggestions?
Tks!

If you are using the Apple USB modem, it is not supported in Lion. Use a 3rd party adapter. The US Robotics USB Faxmodem and the Zoom USB Faxmodem are both OS X 10.7 compatible, as described in their respective manufacturers' websites. Zoom even gives you detailed information for setting up the modem in Lion.

    Purchased and ran camptune x and everything went fine.
    Rebooted into windows 7 and recieved error messages find--set--root--ignore floppies--ignore cd/bootmgr

  • Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

    I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality.  Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

    The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
    The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
    If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
    By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
    I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
    Best wishes,

  • How do I write to my boot camp partition with Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion?  Or how do I get my boot camp partition to show up in Paragon's "Available NTFS partitions:" panel like my external hard drive does?

    I've just set up boot camp on my MacBookPro with a freshly installed Mountain Lion and Windows 7. 
    I would like to read and write in both directions from drive to drive if possible.  I've hunted around quite a bit to try and work this out, and so far I understand that one can write to or transfer files from one drive to the other with Paragon NTFS among other softwares. 
    I noticed when I looked in my system preferences the utility "Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X" came with Mountain Lion and it will recognize an external hard drive when I have one plugged in under "Available NTFS partitions:".  However, it does not automatically recognize my NTFS boot camp partition nor does it automatically give me write access. 
    Is the Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion limited in some way? 
    Do I still need to purchase and download the software of the same name from Paragon to get the full write privilidges I want or is there something I can do to get the version of Paragon on my MAC to recognize and give me write priviledges to my boot camp partition?
    I'm open to all suggestions to get the read / write access between partitions in my boot camped drive.
    MacFUSE is also listed in the System Preferences of my machine (it also came with Mountain Lion), if that helps.  I'm still working out exactly what each of these is supposed to do and how I can use it to accomplish the task at hand.
    My boot camp drive does appear normally in other contexts and in disk utility it indicates that the drive is mounted.
    Thank you for any guidance you can give me. 

    Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
    For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
    I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
    I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?

  • Multiple problems with Mountain Lion

    I purchased OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on August 23, 2012 and iPhoto '11 9.4.3 on August 22, 2012.  I have started having problems last month with freezes, various Apple software not working properly, and after the last update, I no longer can access my flash drives.  I recently posted about my problems with iPhoto not letting me look at individual photos and showing only the black screen with thumbnail strip on the bottom (followed the reply poster's advice, thank you, but without any luck). 
    Now I am having issues following the last 2 updates from Apple to my OS.
    - Spotlight will only look in the web (followed the steps provided by another discussion by going to system preferences, selecting all the files/areas to exclude using the "+" sign, then using the "-" to remove all the ones in privacy to force spotlight to reindex, no luck, still not working, even unchecking the webpages box in search results)
    - Extremely slow response of my iMac, for instance, looking in my Applications folder on my dock, it opens in stages with each stage getting bigger and bigger until it is open to its normal window size (hope that makes sense)
    - iTunes corrupted immediately after the lastest update when I tried to create a new folder for music resulting in a corrupted iPod and having to restore the iPod and reload the iTunes and all my songs from back up
    - iMac no longer recognizes any of my flash drives (the USB ports recognize my iPod, Seagate external, digital recorder, etc) but refuse to recognize my flash drives.  My flash drives work fine on all other computers both Mac and PC (have a 2 Memorex, 2 PNY, and 1 Scandisk brands).  I did what another poster suggested (I browsed to see what to try before posting here).  When I go to disk utilities, I am unable to "verify "the flash drive and not able to "mount" it
    The flash drive is grayed out as are the other steps.
    I am ready to uninstall Mountain Lion and go back to the OS that my computer came with in Jan 2010.  I have not had any issues with Mountain Lion until last month.  I am open to suggestions and ideas, not sure what happened in May (I did not load any new software, no brown outs, black outs, nothing done differently in May that I had not been doing all along). 
    Thanking you in advance

    Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
    1. I can only guess which of the modifications you've made to your system is causing the problem. The changes suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, refer to its developer for support.
    2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
    3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
    N/A
    and definitely remove at least the following:
    BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    CleanMyMac
    Eltima SyncMate
    Seagate Storage Driver
    † Sophos
    † Symantec AntiVirus
    4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
    You will generally have to reboot after uninstalling a system modification. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
    5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
    6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
    Remove the Sophos product by following the instructions on this page.
    Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
    Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
    Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh

  • 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 ?

  • HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

    My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion.  I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion.  I added a new printer from the System Preferences.  The printer will print sometimes.  Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print.  I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity.  That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything.  I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion.  Can anyone help me here?

    Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

    Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
    You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

  • 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.

  • What Superdrive (external USB) is compatable with Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

    What Superdrive (external USB) is compatable with Mountain Lion 10.8.3? 
    My New install of 10.8.3, will now.... not reconize anything I put in my drive... it spits it back out!
    Superdrive does NOT reconize any activity. 
    It will show my information on/of my drive...but, that is about it...
    Is there a patch/fix for this issue with 10.8.3?
    If not...why is Apple (seemingly) ignoring this issue? There are so many with the same complaint.
    They want $19 to answer this question...why? I just bought the upgrade to 10.8.3 a couple of days ago.
    Anyone have any suggestion, beside switching BACK to Microsoft...?

    I insert blank -R DVD, -R CD, ...anything I put in,it spits it out.  NOTE:  The ONLY thing I've been able to get it to read, is some old CD's that I had some mp3 files on...it would read that OK... but if I try a DVD read or write and write a CD...NOTHING!
    This worked fine before upgrading to 10.8.3   was at 10.7.5....

  • What Floppy Drive can I use with Mountain Lion to read and write floppy which can be read by SE30 with 7.1

    I want to File Exchange between an iMac with 10.8.4 and a SE30 with 7.1.
    All I want to do is install some software, such as Word 5.1 and a Chess game and some Fonts.
    I have an external USB Floppy Drive but my iMac can only write to it IF I format as FAT, if I format it with the SE30 it can only be read and not written onto by the iMac.
    Is there a way I can actually format/read/write Macintosh extended (HFS+) with Mountain Lion?
    The external USB Floppy is a generic black one I bought from Amazon last week.
    Someone else said I should get a Macally USB Floppy Drive and that reads/writes HFS+ etc with 10.8 no problem.
    Is this because the Macally was released along with the Bondi Blue iMac?
    I have tried using Apple Exchange on my SE30 - recorded some files onto the FAT formatted Floppy, and read it using Apple Exchange, but when 'translating' the Files transferred over as generic files which were no longer Macintosh programs or Files (eg Word 5.1 application or extensions/ Font suitcases etc) and could not be read.
    Is there a way round this?
    Or is there any way I can mount/read/write from the generic USB Floppy DRIVE with Sheepshaver (with 7.5.3)?
    Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

    >surely there must be some Terminal command or workaround for 10.8 to be able to Format in HFS?
    Using dd to write an existing HFS disk image to a floppy may still work (but formatting/writing HFS from the operating system does not). You may want to compare this with the technique described in the article below. Obviously, this is only of interest if one wants to try creating floppies from certain (Disk Copy 4.2-style) downloaded 1.44 MB disk images.
    http://lowendmac.com/brierley/08pb/classic-mac-boot-floppy.html
    >If I got hold of an old iBook or Powerbook G4 (my sister has one) could I plug the USB Floppy drive I have into one of these and copy files over this way?
    At least according to the following Wikipedia article, writing HFS has not been supported since Mac OS X 10.6. This should mean that your idea with the USB floppy drive connected to one of the older computers mentioned could work. BTW, I do not think that the USB floppy drive type/make/model is of importance in this very context.
    Another idea could possibly be to use an even older intermediate computer for other file transfer methods (without a floppy).
    A PowerBook 520/520c/540/540c could run Mac OS 8.1, if at all necessary. It has built-in Ethernet (an external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver is used), which would allow TCP/IP connections over a network. A LocalTalk connection to the SE/30 can be established via a plain Macintosh MiniDIN-8M to MiniDIN-8M printer cable. With the correct SCSI cable/adapter, one could also use the PowerBook as an external hard disk for the SE/30 in SCSI disk mode.
    A PowerBook 5300 can run Mac OS 8.1 or higher, if necessary. It does not have built-in Ethernet, but a PC Card (PCMCIA) network card can be used. Furthermore, with an inexpensive PC Card adapter for CompactFlash and a CompactFlash memory card, the computer would have a simple removable "hard disk". The CF card (in Mac or PC format) can be read by a modern computer (a USB reader may be needed), making it ideal for file transfers. LocalTalk can be used here too, and so can SCSI disk mode (HD target mode).
