OSX Mountain Lion Preview Hijacks Adobe PDF and Adobe Photoshop
My pdf files and all my images that I have designated to Adobe Reader and Photoshop in the "Get Info" window of these files... continually Default to Preview after a few days. This must stop... I never had this issue in Snow Leopard or Lion! Yes... I do hit the "Change All" button each time. Apple and Adobe seem to be at WAR over Preview, and we are payng the price! I POSTED THIS 2 MONTHS AGO AND MTN LION CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER A "SOLUTION" WAS GIVEN:
For Adobe Reader, try deleting the application, downloading it and reinstalling. I just did this and the first time I opened it, I was asked if I wanted to make it the default.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
I am conviced that there really isn't any solution to this problem and that it is clearly something that is going on between Apple and Adobe!
...and I've never heard of that issue before. You should be thinking "how do I troubleshoot and fix this on My Computer?"
Try generic troubleshooting - repair the hard drive:

and also repair permissions.

OSX Mountain LION 10.8 Epson CX7400 and Windows 7
I have troubles with my printer via Network:
I installed first the epson CX7400 via USB on the OSX and let OSX download the latest drivers automatic then I made a print and all ok then I return the printer to the machine with windows 7 that share that printer then I add the printer on OSX via Sytem Preferences/Print&Scan then on on "+" then Windows and navigate to the network machine that have the printer all ok detect perfect the OSX say idle and green on OSX but when I try to print say the error "Stopped Filter Failed" I saw on Error Log of the printer and say something of interpreter resource unavailable any suggestion on how to make work my network printer?
Note: That Printer is actually serving 7 computers without trouble just the OSX lion has the troubles.
Thank youI have the same problem with the Epson CX7400 in a Windows 7 network.
I enabled LPD printing on the Windows 7 print server and tested it using Snow Leopord and it works fine.
With Mountain Lion, I am unable to get it to print.
Same symptoms as you. My daughter has a new Air with Mountain Lion and needs to print badly.
I opened a case with Apple today and provided them much detailed debug information and a network trace.
Because I'm able to print using LPD from Snow Leopord to the very same Windows 7 print server, it is highly unlikely a Windows side issue. It is more likely that it is an Epson driver/Mountain Lion issue. I don't expect Apple engineering to get back to me until next Thursday but if I find out anything good, I'll let you know. -

Why is my macbook running slower after loading OSX mountain lion?
Just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and my laptop seems to be running slower - delayed window filling, etc. Anyone else notice this problem or have any solutions? Should I just go in to see a genius?
TIA,
ddhallFirst, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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.
Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

CS Upgrade With Apple iMac OSX Mountain Lion
Does any one know if Adobe has a software download patch to be able to use Photoshop CS Upgrade with a new Apple iMac OSX Mountain Lion please?
I checked and mine is an iMac8,1.
When I tried downloading Yosemite it looked as if it started, but then... nothing... I tried several times, to no avail.
I just called Apple and they said downloading Mountain Lion should work. Ordered online, paid my $21 and am now waiting for the download code.
Hope this works. I'm not very computer savvy at all. -
OSX Mountain Lion Server - how do you uninstall this including services
Hi All,
Sorry if the question has been asked before.
I have Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and installed OSX Mountain Lion Server (2.2.2) and run into a couple of issues after installed successfully.
* I no longer can add users and groups.
* Open Directory fails to connect.
So I read some forums and uninstalled the server by trashing it, deleting /Libaray/Server, empty trash and reboot. But when I reinstalled the server it renabled all the services that I had previously and still not able to add users and groups. Open Directory fails to connect "not able to load replica" So I try to create a new OD and get an error the server is already a Network Server.
So basicaly I want to start from scratch and need some assistance how to get rid of OSX Server.
Thanks
SahidWipe the disk, and reinstall OS X. (Not fun, of course. I just created a bootable USB disk for this purpose, and nuked an errant server configuration. A "target practice" server used for testing purposes had gone awry, and needed to be wholly reset. So I know what you're going through. Visit here or here for some instructions.)
FWIW, usual trigger for problems with OS X Server on a NAT'd network is bad DNS. That step gets skipped, or folks think they can refer to ISP or off-LAN DNS servers, and problems ensue. OS X Server needs LAN-local DNS when NAT is in use. -
Hello! Help!
I just (10 mins ago) bought OSX Mountain Lion from the app store, and I only bought my Macbook air a few days ago, so I assumed that it would just be free - with the up to date program.
I then checked my bank and the $20.99 has come out, and I discovered that you have to submit a claim for the free software.
I submitted the claim, and am wondering how this will work. Is there a way I can apply for a refund?
Suggestions? Help!
ThanksApple are revamping support, you'll see something like this - select Apps and Software etc:
...next screen should have Purchases, Billing and Redemption links.

HT202159 osx mountain lion an error has occurred
i cant download osx mountain lion it gets part way and then reports an error has occurred.....my imac is mid 2007 so is supposed to be able to be updated....i have been charged but cannot update.....!! help appreciated (ive tried to download 7 times now....
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
- Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
For downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is Gstrongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Keep in mind, If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
Mountain Lion is a 4.34GB file. If you are using a slow internet connection, the download may be timing out before it can finish. Your ISP determines your download speeds. Check with your ISP for upgrade options.
According to Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Your iMac should be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. -
Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?
Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS). -
UPDATING OSX MOUNTAIN LION ADOBE VIEWER. recently received e-bill statement. could not view. site recommended updating adobe viewer. as this feature comes OEM from Apple, how is this accomplished? Note, this was an online view for the PDF document.
Thanks for your help. Final question. So I am assuming that PDF funcitonality is accomplished via Preview. I assume then that the PDF creation in Mail is also similarly accomplished, that is not via an Adobe product, but equivalent funcitonality. I see now that I can download Adobe. But, does the Apple PDF equivlant provide updates to keep up witht the new encoding structures released by Adobe, so that I can only update the Apple equivalent, or is this not practical because Apple would be chasing Adobe for software updates?

I want to use icloud to sync w/my new apple tv. bought osx snow leopard and installed it plus upgraded to 2 gigs memory for my
old (2007) macbook. still won't work. I need to get to at least osx 10.7.4 or to osx mountain lion. Tried everything and can't get there.
I'm not a computer whiz...quite a novice. so, if you can help; please speak in layman language....ha ThanksiCloud requires 10.7.2 or later.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
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.
