Now that I have OS X Mountain Lion, do I need growl?

now that I have OS X Mountain Lion, do I still need Growl for notifications?

Depends.  If an application updates their software with the 10.8 API for notifications then no, but if an application you're using doesn't update to use the built in system in ML then yeah.

  • My gestures aren't working now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my gestures for Notifications, Launch Pad, Mission Control, ect.. aren't working. They worked the first day but have been pretty sporadic lately. Today and yesteryday none of the gestures have worked at all. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor and touch to click, but everything else is very much a no go. Checked the settings like a hundred times and verified they are all indeed turned on. NEVER had the problem in Lion.Thinking about a Genius Bar Appt, but am afraid they will magically work when I try to demonstrate the problem. As I've said, this has been mostly sporadic.
    Thanks.

    If you have the current version of iLife, you can download the latest iPhoto from here:
    iPhoto 9.4.2
    If not, you will have to buy iPhoto.

    Try installing the Epson drivers from here:

    and then seeing if adding and printing with USB works.
    This site really works and my computer is now printing.

  • Why is my Photo Booth not working now that I installed OS X Mountain Lion?

    I just updated to the OS X Mountain Lion and now my Photo Booth will not work. If I try and open Photo Booth it says "You can't use this version of the application "Photo Booth" with this version of OS X. You have "Photo Booth" 3.0.3." Why wouldn't the new software include a new version of Photo Booth?

    Photo Booth version 5 came with Mountain Lion. Try running Software Update to see if the program will update.
    If you can't find it you may have to try reinstalling Mountain Lion.

  • Miro will not work now that I have down loaded Mountian Lion????

    I down Loaded Mountain Lion and had to adjust a few settings to get Java to work, but now that is all fine. However Miro when I launch it, with in 20 seconds says it unexpectedly quit ( as if I was expecting that) and I should hit the re-open button to re launch the program. The thing is it never closed and when I re-open nothing really happens. the one most important thing though is I can no longer down load a thing. I can search and find files but can not down load. It just stays at getting started, and rests.
    I love using Miro and would love to get it back,  who has any ideas on a fix?

    Miro 4.0.3 or Miro Video 2.6?
    According to Roaring apps there are known issues with 4.0.3

  • What is going on with the scroll function? It doesn't seem to work in any applications, now that I downloaded the new Mountain Lion?

    What is going on with the scroll function. It doesn't seem to work ever since I downloaded Mountain Lion.

    I've noticed this too...when I'm in Safari, scrolling is a bit jerky and sometimes it stops even though I'm still scrolling...my fingers go right off the trackpad.  I just downloaded the new updates onto my brand new macbook air- had to do it manually as "power nap" doesn't work, even after the SMC reset.  Lamesauce.

    My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite.  They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

    How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
    WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

    I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks

    Something went wrong with your upgrade.
    Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I have updated to Mountain Lion and now the music on NetHymnal does not play.

    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now the music on the NetHymnal site does not play. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the sound on other sites. There is a statement that a plugin is missing but I can't determine what plugin is missing.

    Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

  • I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard, I now can't open Photoshop?

    Hi everyone, I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard. The installation went smooth and woks well. Now I find that Ican't open either Photoshop CS or Microsoft Word. I upgraded in order to install Lightroom 5, obviously there is now an incompatability, is there a work around?

    If that is the original Photoshop CS, and Word 2004 or earlier, then they won't open because Lion and Mountain Lion do not support PowerPC apps. They must be Intel code. Snow Leopard could run them because it included Rosetta, a PowerPC to Intel (and back) interpreter.
    You have a few options.
    1) Go back to Snow Leopard.
    2) Update your apps to compatible versions.
    3) If you have Mountain Lion because newer apps require it then:
    a) Install Snow Leopard Server (currently being sold by Apple for $20) in a VM such as Parallels, and then run your PPC apps in the VM.
    b) Install Snow Leopard on a separate partition and boot to that version of OS X when you need to use those older apps.

  • For some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?

    for some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

  • I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

    I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

    Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
    Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

  • Videos in iPhoto 08 will not play now that I have upgraded to Lion.

    Any videos that I had in iPhoto 08 previously played ok when I was on Snow Leopard but now that I have upgraded to Lion I have just discovered that when I click on a video nothing happens at all. I don't want to upgrade to iLife 11. Does anyone know of a resolution for this problem?

    When I check for updates I just get a message about iPhoto 11 being available as part of iLife 11.
