Opening sparsebundles in mountain lion
Hi!
I see the TC and its content, several sparsebundle files (I have several pc baking up on the same Time Capsule)
I used to launch a sparsebundle file to mount it on the desktop (in the form of a normal h.d. partition) and so reach to open the files directly from applications.
Here in office I have another Mac with 10.6.8 OS, and it works. But it does not more happen on a Mac with Mountain Lion OS...
On Mountain Lion I reach to see the sparsebundle files on the TC but, if I doubleclick on them, nothing happens (the icon slightly flashes, nothing happens - except that - curiously - the date of the latest opening refreshes).
Any ideas about how could I figure it out?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Don't do that; files in Time Machine backups are protected, and should not (usually cannot) be used directly with applications. The should be restored somewhere to be used.
Use the Time Machine browser (the "Star Wars" display) instead.
To see the backups for a different Mac, use the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17/

Can't open iCalendar in Mountain Lion
When I try to open iCalendar in Mountain Lion "Calendar Cache" couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access "Calendars"
comes up. Further directions don't work.I'm not sure what you mean by "iCalendar".
The current Mountain Lion app supplied by Apple is called "Calendar". The old app had been called "iCal".
So iCal is now gone. If you're talking about that, I don't know what to say.
If you're talking about Calendar, then I suggest running Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities) and do a "Repair Permissions" on your hard drive. -
Problem opening Aperture in Mountain Lion
I'm running Aperture 3.3.2 and upgraded to Mountain Lion last night. Since the upgrade Aperture is hanging on the "Opening Aperture Library" window. I've repaired and rebuilt my library with all referenced files on externals attached. No help. I've also deletedt the "ProAppsSystemID" file and reentered my registration numbers and still had no success.
Oddly with the "Opening" window open Aperture's toolbar funcuions normally as if the program were open.
I have figured out a work around. I made a new, empty library. I can open Option-click and open Aperture and select that empty library. From that empty library I can then switch to my normal library and use it as normal. Upon closing Aperture however things go back to being locked up when I try to open it.
Anyone else seen this problem? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.MikeSwe wrote:

Safari won't open after installing Mountain Lion
I installed Mountain Lion (OS X version 10.8.5) on my iMac but Safari didn't update, and wouldn't open. I separately downloaded Safari 6.2.2. Safari still wouldn't open. In trying to fix it, I apparently deleted needed files. When I click on the Safari icon, the message box titled "Safari cannot be opened because of a problem" opens, and below are the error message details.
Dyld error message:
Library not loaded:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/WebKit2
Referenced from:
/System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/Safari.framework/Safari
Reason: image not found
I am a novice. Can I just download the missing material somehow?
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thank you.If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -

Anyone encountered the same problem, and have a fix?

Stein JohnsenI'm experiencing exactly the same issue... fresh install of Logic Pro, fresh update of Mountain Lion, everything up-to-date. Logic Pro crashes on start every time. I've trolled a number of forums and seen lots of references to ProKit.framework being the culprit. Some recommend downgrading this, but then there could be trouble with iPhoto and other apps. Some recommend waiting for the next OS update. I can't find a conclusive solution.

Numbers won't open documents in Mountain Lion.
I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini that shipped with Mountain Lion. I installed iWork from the original DVD and ran software updates to get the latest release. The apps launch, but will not open any of my iWork documents. I get the following errors in the logs:
8/13/12 5:22:44.903 PM Numbers[6566]: Exception opening document: *** -[NSConcreteData initWithContentsOfFile:options:error:]: nil file argument
8/13/12 5:22:44.904 PM Numbers[6566]: Failed to open document, but no unrecoverable error
And I sometimes get the following error on screen "The document "document name" could not be opened." note "document name" is actually the name of the document I am trying to open.
I've uninstalled the application manually, and with AppZapper on 3 seperate occasions, making sure to clear out any preference files, empty the trash and reboot afterwards. Then reinstalled and ran updates after logging back in, but to no-avail. If I try to open the template viewer I get these errors in the log.
8/13/12 5:33:03.772 PM Numbers[6566]: Exception caught by top level: NSInvalidArgumentException : *** -[NSConcreteData initWithContentsOfFile:options:error:]: nil file argument

Pages and Keynote seem to have the same issue, I can't create new documents or open exitsing ones. I can keep uninstalling and reinstalling, but that doesn't seem to be the correct path. Anyone have any ideas?I ended up finding a solution on my own. I re-uninstalled the iWork apps, deleting the apps, preferences and library\application support\iWork folder at the root of the Macintosh HD. After a restart, reinstalled the iWork software from my DVD. I then manually downloaded and installed the iWork 9.2 upgrade from Apple, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563 , instead of using the App Store software update method. Once completed, I ran permissions repair for good measure, though nothing was repaired. Launched and the apps are working as expected.

Programs dont open after installing Mountain Lion
Hi!
After I installed Mountain Lion last week is my iMac(4 cores, late autumn 2009) very slow and several programs dont open anymore.
When I click on them they bounce in the dock and vanish again. I approved in the security tab to open all programs, also not `Mac Store programs`.
The only way to get these programs started again is by unpacking them and than they work for one reboot. After 1 reboot they dont open again.
What can I do with this?
With kind regards,
SilviaLaunch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

Can't open apps in mountain lion
i need to upgrade some software or apps since i downloaded mountain lion, however, i have no problem downloading them, i just cant open them.
mountain lion refuses to open any app or software i did not download from the app store. here is what the pop up tells me when i try to open them
"Machacha cant be opened because its from an unidentified developer.
your security pref. only allow installation of ONLY apps from the mac app store
and identified developers."
this aint gonna work for me, i need to download new software or apps elswhere to make things
work again for me.
any advice? i went to security pref. but saw nothing that would uncheck to let me proceed.
thank you
tomthis helped me solve my problem but in a different way. i downloaded mountain this morning and after trying your advice, there is nothing called "gatekeeper" installed on my mac.
a spotlight search turned up nothing but a description of what a gatekeepers job was.
doing it your way i found i could control click the app and open it that way, gatekeeper was nowhere to be found in system pref. security tab.
thanks for your help, but now im confused that im missing something from my download and i wonder
what else did not download.
thank you again

Why is Mail opening automatically in Mountain Lion?
I don't use Apple Mail under Mountain Lion (just Gmail online), but I do have several Google accounts configured, which I use for contacts and calendar.
Several times a day, Mail starts automatically and I cannot figure out why. I have turned off all mail-related notification and any other preferences I could find. But still, I find myself quitting Mail several time a day.
How can I stop this?Hello,
If you set up your Google accounts on ML, then the Notification Center opens automatically your Mail client.
You can stop that in System Preferences > Notifications and drag “Mail” at the bottom of the window in “Not in Notification Center”.
Hope this will help. -
