OSX X Lion 10.7.1 update problem
Hello,
I updated my macbook pro yesterday with the 10.7.1 update.
Since then, when I reboot my macbook pro, it took about 15 minutes to get to the desktop, and another 15 minutes to be able to use one application.
So it took basically 30 minutes to use my mac after rebooting.
My macbook is now so slow, it is frustated. Each time I do something, the rainbow wheel appeared.
Please help me.
Simon
I contacted Metric Halo which distributes Channel Strip. They said with updates sometimes the "license" gets unhooked from the software de-authorizing it. They sent me a download link to re-authorize. Everything is working fine. Very fast response from Metric.

Any fix to Lion 10.7.5 update problems?
I have a 2009 macbook pro that has always run perfectly. That is until I just downloaded the Lion 10.7.5 "update". What is did was make me very disappointed in Apple. Safari opens but that's it. It won't navigate anywhere. Blank screen. Also, I can't drag and drop anything. Including files to folders, email to folders, or items on the dock.
I've read about countless problems with this update in a couple of different forums. It seems that Apple released an unstable update but is not openly addressing it.
When I was a Windows drone I knew enough about the registry and other ways to try and "fix" it. I even came to expect the constant problems from Microsoft's "updates". I never expected anything like this from Apple, my computer is out of warranty, and I really don't have a clue what to do at this point.
Is anyone aware of an "easy" fix or know if Apple is addressing this (a link would be very heplful).
Thanks in advance!rwkpcv wrote:
Found my Seagate external drives. 500gb each. Apparently they only work with Windows according to the pdf file. Can't imagine why a hard drive isn't just a hard drive. Oh well, guess I have to go look for one.
Seagate makes external drives for both Windows and the Mac but the main difference is in the formatting. There are instructions on Seagate's website about formatting the PC drives to work with a Mac and it's essentially the same process. I can't say for sure if formatting them that way will allow them to boot a Mac OS installation. I've been through 3 of Seagate's externals and found that even when formatted for the Mac, there is a hidden MBR (master boot record) which seems to interface with the external's hardware. I couldn't test them for booting because they were connected via USB 3.0 to a PCIe card in a Mac Pro which doesn't support booting.
Anyway, assuming each Seagate drive is big enough to handle the entire contents of your internal drive, you can clone it for backup and then try to boot from it. If you have to completely reinstall the OS on your internal, you'll be able to use Migration Assistant to restore everything from the clone you've made. But before you do, you should try running from the clone to see if the problems you're having are still present. If not, the issue might be with your internal HD. You should also try running the combo updater from the clone (if you can boot from it) with the internal as the target to see if installation will be allowed.
Finally, if Safari is the only problem, you might consider simply using a different browser. Firefox is stable, and with a remarkable range of extensions, very flexible. Or, take a look at this forum thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148675?start=15&tstart=0. In the middle of page 2 is a link (http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/37/23/041-5058/lr5tynbldi18zcrqo8a8uq8 8rnjushqliu/Safari6Lion.pkg) to what looks like an installation just of Safari 6. I have no experience with it but it seems to have solved the issue for many posters, aka use at your own risk. The big problem seems to be that you need a browser to get it and your browser isn't working, but even a temporary installation of something like Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop) can get it for you. To be safe, you might want to try this after you make your clone. -
Hi
Can´t update to Lion 10.7.1 after downloading I get problem:
invalid checksum?
If I use programupdate and restart the computer it will say that the install couldn´t be made becuse there´s an error with the download content.
Any one got any clues?
In advance thank you!Restart the computer, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the Recovery Partition. Then select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD at least 2x. While you are there it wouldn't hurt to run Repair Disk too. After finishing with Disk Utility exit and restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches. Then restart normally and attempt the update, then please report back to let us know the results.

Hi folks
I having my first OSX nightmare after updating to 10.8.5
I have a Mini and a WD MyBook Live 2TB external drive partionioned in half 1TB for Files and other for TimeMachine
After upgrading OSX to 10.8.5 last week I noticed irregular dysplay of my WD shares on Finder and when TimeMachine started backing up a ridiculous 20 179 days and counting up appeared
Here goes the History by detail:
Update OSX
-Noticing irregular access to shares on MyBook Live
--shares on finder didn't appear or disapeared
--when viewing other things (eg Apps) and returning to share - share was logged off and reinitiated logging
-TimeMachine Backups didn't occur automatically (Mini hibernated without completing them) - when forced to start the ridiculous time just kept counting up, first try was 10 days last one - over 20 000 days!...
Then I tryed
+restarting MAC
+restarting MyBook Live after checking drive function with proper tools
+disabled and re-enabled TimeMachine
+checked for updates - OSX and MyBook Live Firmware
+looked out for help google it, searched this forums
+deleted volinfo.database (as proposed elsewere in this foruns) - restarted again all Mini&MyBookLive
NOTHING WORKED ...
+submited OSX feedback and this post...
Acknowledging my first OSX Nightmare to you and asking for your knowledgable and kind help - anyone?!
PLZ some guidance
Best regardsBacking up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. This is an example of what can happen. I know that the manufacturer says it will work, and that it usually seems to work. Except when it doesn't. Then your only recourse is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)
If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or a mini-tower (802.11ac) AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base station supports Time Machine, not any previous model. -
Upgrading to Mountain Lion plus Aperture firmware update - problems
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion and uploading recent Aperture firmware my Adjustments section has gone haywire. I've lost the 'Advenced' section in Highlights and Shadows and the Highlights and the Shadows sliders have become very ineffective compared to before. The consequence is that I cannot balance very bright areas of the picture with darker areas. Before, this work brilliantly! I have tried re-lnstalling Aperture but to no effect. I would be very grateful for suggestions. Thanks.
The "Advanced" section in the "Highlights&Shadows" brick has been deprecated with Aperture 3.3.
It will only be active, as long as you have an image in your Aperture library, that has been adjusted with the old pre-Aperture 3.3 adjustment.
To get it back, import an Aperture library that still has it.
See Kirby Krieger's post here:
How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
I put an Aperture Library with a single image with highlight and shadow adjustments here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/Templates2.aplibrary.zip
Download and uncompress it if you like, then you can import it as a template to generate a preset.

Once i open the iCloud or address book I lose my administrative privileges, Mac OSX Mountain Lion
Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
The problem did not exist before this upgrade.
If I open iCloud, or AddressBook, or if assistantd asks for Keychain Access password, I lose all my user's administrative privileges, I can't copy and paste files anymore and everything that comes with that.
The error I am getting is:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
If I go GetInfo on the file, I can no longer access the lock-unlock feature in bottom right.
My user was migrated from another Mac with OSX Lion, but I've had NO ISSUES until after the latest updates to 10.8.2.
This is really annoying and I do believe it's only because of the update, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -
Restore OSX Mountain Lion on Used Mac Mini
Hi all,
I just purchased a Mac Mini from someone on Craigslist. It's the late 2012 model (Core i7, OSX Mountain Lion)... The problem is, the person I bought it from upgraded it to OSX Mavericks. I use Pro Tools 10 which doesn't work on Mavericks. So I need to restore the Mac Mini back to Mountain Lion, which came on it originally.
Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to actually purchase Mountain Lion from Apple and wait several days for them to email me the download link?You need to do this:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -
Problems with a Game - Should I update to OSX Mountain Lion?
Howdy,
To cut a long story short and get straight to the point I've been having problems with the Sims 3 for god knows how long and its starting to drive me mad. What I'm now wondering is whether updating to OSX Mountain Lion would help at all. The reason I've asked this is because I read a post by someone that said the only way to update your video card (which might be causing the problem) would be to upgrade the whole operating system.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah
P.s. If you need anymore details or anything just let me knowYou can not upgrade your Video card at all.
Mountain Lion may help, but I don't know that it will. -
i have a problem, i bought lion but when i want to install he said me i need to "download osx lion server" i'm running with the last lion beta. how to update please?
ps: sorry for my english :SYou apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Mail problems since latest OSX mountain lion update
Since I updated to the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion my Macbook Pro is very slow starting (up to 2 minutes) and my mail program is always stucking (colour-ball turning) so that I have to shut down and restart.
Does anybody have a solution for these problems?
Thanks!So it's a new 2012 non-Retina model... there are a couple of things that you might want to try - even with only 4GB of RAM (and I truly feel that 8GB is the 'sweet spot' for any modern MBP) you should be having slow startup or Mail beachballs.
First, let's boot into Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys during startup. At the bottom of the window, you'll want to open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left pane and verify and then repair permissions. Some won't be 'fixed' but that's OK. Then with the hard drive still selected, verify your hard drive. If any errors pop up, go ahead and repair the hard drive.
If neither of these things fix the problem, you might want to redownload and reinstall 10.8.2, using the 'combo' updater found here. Also make certain that you install (or reinstall) the 10.8.2 supplemental update - here.
And if that doesn't work, we'll just have to dig a little deeper.

OSX Mountain Lion update...please help
Hi there,
I have OSX 10.8.2 on my current MacBook Pro 13 inch. The problem I am having is I cannot update it because in the appstore Mountain Lion was purchased through a different account. I would like to purchase it from my account but it won't let me, it just says "you must sign into xxxxxx account to update". How can I purchase Mountain Lion on my current account?You may want to use the support link in the App Store: Support
They may be able to help.
The only way I can think of woiuld be to revert to the previous OS and then purchase Mountain Lion.
If you updated from Lion, you can revert by booting into Internet Recovery and choosing reinstall option. That will install the OS that the Mac shipped with. -
Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?
It appears that many of the problems with the HDMI are the "monitors" that are being used. Samsung and Vizeo both DO NOT support a computer input on HDMI only VGA. There probably are others, manuals must be read to confirm compatability.
I strongly believe that the reason the 10.8.2 update was pulled is due to the fact (it happened to me) that the new Disk Utility creates a Fusion drive if aftermarket SSDs are added to the system. I think Apple wants this propriatary Fusion Drive to be something you buy from them not a "homebrew" for lots less money. -
I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.
