Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.

I had about 17 tabs open on my browser. I clicked a link to open another one and when the tab opened the other tabs disappeared. What happened here?

I had 17 tabs open. When I clicked a link to open a new tab all the other tabs disappeared. I thought a new window had been opened instead, but this is not the case there is only one window open on my mozilla browser. If I try to close the window I get a message that says there are 26 tabs opened, I opened 9 more tabs. Can anybody tell me what is going on here or how I might figure this out?
Also, when I close a tab and try to reopen the tab using the right click menu, the 'undo closed tab' menu is disabled. What happened here? Can anybody tell me how to re-enable it?

I've seen some occasional glitches with windows losing the toolbar area, but not one that disturbing.
If you click and drag down on the 18th tab enough to tear it off into a new window (and possibly the same for the other newer tabs you opened), can you get the 17 tabs to re-appear in the first window? If not, I'm not sure there is a way to mend the window. If it's NOT a private browsing session, you might have to use Firefox > Exit (or File > Exit) and restore your session to get a working window. That won't work with a private window...
As a backstop, you might also right-click a tab in the window > Bookmark All Tabs before ending your session. (Because session cookies and other transient data are not preserved when you reload bookmarks, this isn't as effective as restoring a session. On the other hand, bookmark storage is less fragile than session data storage.)
Regarding Undo Close Tab, are the closed tabs listed on the History menu under Recently Closed Tabs? If so, that context menu item definitely should be enabled.

I have iOS7 on my iPhone4. I turned on the Voice Over option and now my phone is not working at all. At first it was freezing and not accepting any commands. Now all I have is a blank sceen. I can't get back into it. Any ideas what happened here?

Hello Filbert,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone wanting to continually restore. I found an article with steps to address the issue you described:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please try to troubleshoot security software issues.

Same photo in more than one catalog - what happens?

What happens if you have the same photo in more than one catalog?
Background: I'm using a 4yr old 13" MacBook and my Lightroom is getting rather slow, on some pictures unusable. At the same time my lrcat files are growing rather fast. Probably due to my current work on some old scanned slides which require quite a lot of spot removal (last 3 photos worked on increased the lrcat file by 250mb) and each time Lightroom became virtually unusable. I will be upgrading the computer but it wont be for a few months yet. On one of the last slides I ended up with a "Oops! An untagged string (history step does not belong to instance) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen.".
So I'm looking at splitting my catalog into two or more seperate catalogs. But I have some galleries which contain photos from what would cross "sensible" splits of catalog so I thought about having the same photo in both catalogs where necessary.
My Lightroom is set to include metadata in XMP (probably making the performance worse). I had intended to split catalogs using "export to catalog".
Does the photo in each catalog have it's own develop "fork" ? (i.e. does the metadata include catalog tags) ? Or will changes made to the photo in one catalog automatically upadate the next catalog (or overwrite changes made in the other catalog), etc.? Only a single computer, no network/sharing issues, nothing on exchangable/removable disk drives.
I could experiment but after quite some time the other day resolving the "history step does not belong to instance") I am treating my catalog with great care.
(I have does a search for the question so will be very embarassed/appologetic if somebody says "Read www.adobe.com/.....").
Many thanks

For some reason photos were scanned in as jpegs. They end-up at around 16-19MB each. Reasons for that are historical. I am applying spot corrections in Photoshop in a new layer, then merging layers when everyting is done OK to save (saving as PSD gave a massive file size). I will try saving as tiff. Personally I hate JPEGs but was never too concerned about the scans in LR as LR is never resaving the image (non-destructive editing). I may easily upgrade to CS6 (upgrade is <£200 on Amazon), but being non-professional, fuds are not unlimited (particularly with new computer coming soon!!).
So weird effect is with jpegs around 16MB after Photoshop edits. It is completely reproducable (i.e. has happened exactly the same of every photo done via this route). The surprising thing is that exiting and restarting LR stops the weird effect.
Adding 2 and 2 together to get 22, I wonder if, as I have "Write Metadata to XMP ..." enabled, if LR has a watch on the file for changes after switching to external editor (i.e. to detect when external editor saved changes so LR updates from the file) and that that "watch for change" is not cancelled after exiting the external editor - maybe because LR cannot know if external editing is compketed (even though exitng Photoshop does not stop the effect). Then, when LR writes to the file (to update the XMP data) it "detects" the change it causd itself and hence the reload. If I change the Catalog Settings to disable the "Include develop settings in JPEG ..." and disable the "Save XMP Data ...", the effect goes away and if I re-enable those catalog options the effect returns.
I will try saving as tiff in future now I'm really re-saving the image.
Many thanks

What happened here... Warping? or What

I just noticed a bending of the aluminum of the screen this morning. I haven't the slightest clue what happened. I have NEVER dropped the machine, keep it in a speck seethru case, which I then put into an incase bag, and then finally put into my backpack, should I need to take it to school. There are no dents, dings, or scratches in the area(that would hint at a drop).
If someone can tell me how, I can attach a few pictures.

Hi, mjdsilva. I'm not sure whether or not "blatebrly" is misplaced in your post, but it's certainly my favorite new word for today. What does it mean, or what was it supposed to mean? I can certainly understand having trouble typing on an iPhone; my two-year-old antique cell phone has real keys, and even so I'd rather have a root canal done than try to type anything on it. Text messaging? No thanks! If I had had to access the internet from an iPhone or anything similar to one these last 18 years, I would never have made my first post in these forums, nor ever sent an email message in my life.
A few clarifications please, if you don't mind:
You say your MBP was "supposed to have shut down" before you put it into your bag for the night. Do you mean that you gave it the "Shut down" command from the Power button or the Apple menu, or do you really mean you tried to put it to sleep? Did you verify that it had shut down or gone to sleep before putting it away? Exactly what did you do and see? In other words, was it actually shut down or sleeping when it went into the bag, or don't you know?
You write "I removed the case...and the case bent" Are you talking about the Speck case here, or the bag the computer was in, or the MBP's own aluminum shell? What is bent?
It should be impossible for your MBP to wake or boot and then keep running while its display is closed and no peripheral devices are connected to it. Was there a card in the ExpressCard slot or anything else connected to the computer while it was in the bag?
The chances are pretty good that your MBP's battery has suffered permanent damage due to the buildup of heat. Its useful lifespan has probably been shortened, and it may not take as full a charge as it did before the heat incident.
I'm quite sure the Speck case didn't cause this problem, but it certainly wasn't helpful once the computer's aluminum shell heated up, and especially not after you removed the MBP from its bag. At that point the Speck case was inhibiting heat transfer from the aluminum to the surrounding air. So if you pulled it off then, you did the right thing. If in the process you bent the MBP's own case, I think you should discuss that with the Speck people. Whether or not they offer to contribute anything toward the repair of your machine, I recommend that you think twice about putting anything back onto your MBP that might be difficult to remove safely in another emergency.

If I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive, what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home?

if I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive (i.e. Time Capsule), what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home? I'm afraid I know the answer, but I'm hoping Apple has a great solution to my problem.

What if this little piggy goes to market but this little piggy stays home?
The computer on a trip will do snapshot backups on the hard drive that will then be incorporated into the Time Machine backup once you get it back home. See
OS X Lion- About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed.
To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.

Location of profile -- need to understand what happened here

I just resolved a data recovery crisis with my bookmarks. Although the crisis is over, I don't understand an important aspect of what happened, and I need to resolve this to be entirely confident of my data's safety.
Last week my computer contracted a virus. My attempts to remove it have been unsuccessful so far, so I fell back to an alternate version of Windows XP that I keep on my computer for that purpose. I have a separate data disk and configure all of my applications to store their data there, so this should be a nearly complete workaround -- all I lack is new software that I've installed since I created the backup partition.
As I checked out the system after booting, I looked at my Firefox bookmark file and was flabbergasted to find that its time stamp was over three years old.
I did some research and discovered that when Firefox went to version 3 it replaced the bookmark file with a database stored in a "profile" in the Application Data directory. I wasn't aware of that, so I never reconfigured Firefox to move the profile to my data disk.
This looked very, very bad. It looked like I'd said goodbye to all the bookmarks I've collected since I created the backup system until I got my infected system working again.
To make the best of it, I deleted the useless bookmark file and moved the Firefox profile from my system disk to my data disk, where it should have been all along.
Then I started Firefox (this system is running version 4) and found that all of my bookmarks were there, right up to the one that I added yesterday with instructions for removing the particular virus I'm dealing with.
How did it do that?
I first thought there must be another profile on the data disk, but I searched the whole disk for one of the file names in the profile, and found only the one I had just created. Later I realized that even if there were another profile, that wouldn't explain what had happened. Firefox is now using the one that I just created -- I checked the timestamps to confirm that they were being updated -- and I copied it from a system drive in a partition that hasn't been used for months. I'm delighted to have all of my bookmarks, but they seem to arrived where I need them by magic. What could have happened here?

auscompgeek, I appreciate your effort to help. Either your response doesn't address the question, or I don't understand it.
Here's how it looks to me: places.sqlite is part of the profile, i.e., it is one of the files in the directory that contains the profile. I've explained what happened to that directory. The fact that the bookmarks are stored in this particular file is true, but doesn't explain anything.
I searched my data disk for this file on the chance that there was a stray copy of it somewhere, not in a complete profile directory that contained the file I originally searched for. I found it only in the new profile that I created after discovering the problem.
So this issue still appears to be unresolved.

Deactiviation of my computer - what happens to my apps I bought before?

Hello everybody!
I've already activated my ID on 5 computers. I only own my current one, which is the last one I've activated. The only button I saw in the options was "deactivating all computers". My question is: what happens to all the apps I bought before? When I sign in again after deactivating all computers, will I be able to download and update all the apps I bought before deactivating all computers?
Thank you very much!

See this User tip for a backup strategy.
Don't attempt to sync your devices while the computer is not authorized for your account or iTunes will remove the protected content such as apps and lose any associated data. Simply deauthorize all, then immediately reauthorize the current computer.

IMac stolen - what happens to downloaded music/videos?

Help! House was burgled and imac was stolen. It had years of itunes downloads + cd collection. Is there anyway to avoid having to download (and pay!) for these again? Appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the loss. And sorry again, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased tracks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system or it gets stolen, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. If you haven't made a backup and don't have your tracks on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks. Your homeowner's insurance may cover the cost of replacement if necessary.
You can try contacting iTunes Music Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis, but don't count on it.
Good luck.

Try reinstalling the programme to fix
If i remove itunes and reinstall. what happens to my music & playlists.?. Thanks

Hello danieljoseph57
Nothing, iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and aren't deleted by removing iTunes. Though it is a good idea to back up your iTunes files before any troubleshooting.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Yipes - My iTunes Library Disappeared - What Happened Here???

Hola;
I have a very large iTunes library on an external drive. Today when I went to work on my collection there were no songs listed when I clicked the music tab in iTunes. I proceeded to restart my heart.
When I went to preferences>advanced it showed the correct location of my music on the external drive.
I am now in the process of adding my iTunes music from the drive into my library
And ideas what might have happened? and how I can prevent it from happening again? And anything else I should be doing?
thanks

A crash when the library database file was being updated is one way. Just restore the backup you take regularly. Ah, OK.
It sounds like you are well on the way to rebuilding your library however this will have erased data such as ratings, play counts, playlists etc. If none of this matters then carry on as you are, otherwise here is how to restore the correct library...
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library* as *iTunes Library (Rebuild)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
