Original mbox with mountain lion
I have an original m box which works with snow leopard. Has anyone got experience using it with mountain lion?
I've been able to make it work on 10.8.2 as a standalone audio interface (ITunes, etc) using the workaround explained at the following link involving Soundflower and PureData. http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p=1894515 You need of course the DigiCore Audio Manager (last version which supported the original MBox is 7.4.2).

I HAVE A I MAC WITH MOUNTAIN LION BUT WHEN I DOWNLOAD MAVERICKS ALL STAR GOING BAD AND RIGTH NOW THE COMPUTER DOESNT START I AM **** UP HOW CAN RESTORE MY ORIGINAL OS LION MOUNTINE.
OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.Don't post in all caps. Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums. What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions. Reboot normally.
2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

I am trying to use an external 3g modem made by Huawei model e173s-6 and when I do connect it on my usb port the macbook pro just do not recognize it. I own a 2012 model with mountain lion 10.8.2 . What should I do ?
I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images! Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated. Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
SELLING A MAC A
Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
Selling an Old Mac:
• When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
• Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
Internet Recovery:
• In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
• Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
iLife Apps:
• When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
• Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
• It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
SELLING A MAC B
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
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. -
My late 2007 MacBook Pro, with a replacement 500 GB drive and updated to Snow Leopard, died. The extracted drive works in an external drive case, so all the files are there. Most of the files were transferred from a time machine backup to a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. However, about a week's worth of files were missing from the Time Machine backup, due to traveling. I would like to copy just those files, mostly pictures, from the original drive to the new system. However, when I try to use iPhoto to get to the image files on the external drive, the system says the iPhoto information must be updated to the new system and, once done, they cannot be accessed with an old one. One concern is that updating the iPhoto information on the external drive might go wrong and make the files inaccessible. If there were some way to just have the underlying image files identified and copied, that would be most comfortable for me. .Any advice?
1 - updating your iPhoto library does not make photos inaccessible - it does update the iPhoto database so that you have to have the current version of iPhoto to open the library - however the photos are in the database and can be accessed via the finder anytime
2 - you do not memtion what version of iPhoto you had - the original photos are in the masters (or original) folder which can be accessed by right clicking on the iPhoto library and showing package contents - Be sure NOT to make any changes to the library)

For my Mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1, what is a good greeting card software download with lots of templates and graphics?
Hi simon2010,
as far as I can see, I have resolved it...
Just so I didn't write over my functioning disk in the Mac mini, I took it out and put a spare one in. (Would have saved me going back to the Apple store to get it re-imaged if it did fail.)
I created a Mountain Lion installer on an 8GB USB stick, and first installed 10.8.4 (the latest at the current time) on my MacBook Pro... it worked fine, so I knew the installer stick had no problems at all (that's one thing to rule out of the list of potential causes).
With my spare hard disk in the Mac mini, I then went to try to install 10.8.4 on it, with my 16GB non-Apple RAM in it. It failed as usual in the way I expressed originally.
I then just swapped my 16GB RAM for the original Apple 4GB RAM (2x2GB sticks) which I put back in the machine, and I tried re-installing. No problem whatsoever - it installed perfectly.
It's the RAM! Even though my RAM works perfectly once installed, the Apple OS installer refuses to proceed if Apple RAM is not in. I put my 16GB RAM back in after installing the OS and all is fine.
I'm quite surprised Apple has done this.
Have you changed the RAM? Let me know if it's the same problem or you have some differences.
I assume it will install fine if I put the orignal HD back in, again if I have the original Apple RAM in of course.
PS. Also to note, the point where it failed in the installer with my 16GB RAM in, with the original Apple RAM in it took an incredibly long time towards the end of the bar moving across the screen; it says "5 minutes remaining" for at least 15, maybe 20 minutes, but gets past it eventually, then does a reboot to continue its install. -

TS3991 iCal won't synce with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s
I can't get iCal to sync with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s via iCloud. Is there a simple way to make this work?
Okay, did some comparing and it appears only ALL DAY events are displaying on the wrong day. Anything I have set with a specific time shows up on the correct day. Found a reference on the Internet that explains this.
Apparently, according to that source, the computer considers a day to START at 12:00 am, so an all day event displays on the computer on the correct day which begins at midnight. But the iPhone considers a day to END at 12:00 am so all day events are posted BEFORE midnight of the correct day, which is the wrong day.
What I don't understand is WHY Apple has the iPhone using different criteria than their computers? This "bug" apparently goes back to the original iPhone iOS. Why haven't they reprogrammed it by now?
I have an appointment with Apple for next week to have someone call me and I will discuss it with them. Hopefully, they'll have an answer for me on how to fix my events to display correctly. If not, I guess I'll have to change all day events to begin and end at specific times. Which means deleting birthdays from the Address Book and creating calendar entries for each one. What a nuisance that will be!
ETA: AND I won't be able to rely on the US Holidays calendar. *sigh* -
My rMBP with Mountain Lion 10.8 won't recognise my USB3.0 MS-DOS (FAT32) format external HDD
Hi all, first post.
i'm having a big issue with my new rMBP (2.6ghz, 16GB, 512GB SSD) with Mountain Lion OS10.8 . One of the key features of this new laptop is its USB 3.0 'support'. But it doesn't seem to support it
I have a MS-DOS FAT32 formatted 1.5tb Seagate GoFlex HDD USB3.0. This drive is formatted correctly for mac support and has worked very well with my Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2009) for a year or more now. This drive has a lot of data on it I need to be able to access regularly. But it won't!
When I plug the drive in to the rMBP the lights on the drive turn on and the disk starts spinning, but OSX Mountain Lion doesn't even recognise it's there. No device appears in the side bar, disk utilities or similar, and no sound is made even when I 'unsafely' unplug itat on
What on earth is going on? USB 3.0 fail
Cheers
Bisher PhotosI am having a similar issue.
I have an external WD fat32 drive loaded with over a TB of PS3 video data (originally formatted and working well under snow leopard).
I bought a new macbook pro and found the drive inaccessible under Mountain Lion 10.8. (still works fine on my PC and PS3, I no longer have my snow leopard machine).
My research leads me to believe the problem is a bug in the new OS.
The disk utility can see the drive.
The disk utility Validater does report an error and advises I run the Repair tool.
The disk utilty Repair tool reports successful repair but the drive remains inaccessible to ML while still working fine with my PS3 and PC.
I HATE to say this, but I fear my workaround is to go back to using my PC until Apple fixes Mountain Lion.
I suppose I could buy another 2Tb drive, format it with ML and then use my PC to restore the data files. However, that would be an expensive and time consuming experiment with no assurance of success.
Even if it worked, I worry that the next OS update may render the disk unreadable again.
Anyway, best of luck bisherphotos. -

Installing FCS 3 (upgrade) on new MBP with Mountain Lion
Hi:
I just bought a new MBP with Mountain Lion installed. I have FCS3 upgrade, which I have now on my Mac Pro tower. I originally bought FCP version 1 back in 2000, so I've had it for quite some time.
When I insert the FCS install DVD into the MBP, the disc spins up and then spins down.... and nothing happens. Nothing opens, no dialogue box, not sign of any activity.
What am I missing here?Open the finder window and click on the DVD to open it up. Make sure you have the first DVD disk...
I have FCS 3 (FCP 7) running in ML with no problems. I did a clean install of ML first... and installed the FCS 3 upgrade after that... But, make sure you install QuickTime 7 before you install FCS 3... FCS 3 with turn QuickTime 7 into the Pro version.

I installed LiveType from FCS 2 too... -
Replace mavericks with Mountain Lion
I'm thinking of buying a Mac mini, it will have Mavericks installed but some of my software won't run on Mavericks but will on Mountain Lion. I see Mountain Lion is being sold at a reasonable price.
So if I replace Mavericks with Mountain Lion is that going to work (guy in the Apple Store thought it was a bad idea) and will I be able to re install Mavericks at a later date and will I have to buy it again?You could check when there is more than one model
Mini in the Special Deals refurbish store page, and
ask Sales if one from two years ago can run Mt Lion.
Previous model years are sometimes a better bet,
though a few more recent Macs still could boot from
a previous OS X version, don't bet on it. I'd ordered
a refurb Mac from the Apple Store some time back
and a capability stated to be functional wasn't in it.
There should be more information on the capability
of a recent/offered model Mini, if it could run Mt Lion.
You'd probably need to try to install it in a separate
external hard disk drive enclosure, if possible, so as
to keep the original Mavericks intact. Even if it works.
These use Internet/Recovery to restore an original OS X
as well as internet to update/upgrade it. No DVDs.
PS: you could try & make a bootable recovery USB per
advice in this third-party article, though it may not help
resolve, update, or change new computer to run old OSX.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mav ericks-usb-install-drive/
This kind of technical question relies on hard to access
information that would be arrived at, here, by trial & error.
Good luck
