Pkg cannot install files in the Mountain Lion OS after Mavericks installation
I installed Mavericks on second partition while Mountain Lion was installed in first partition.
After 2 OS are ready and can be booted, I found any pkg cannot install files in the 10.8 OS, can I can solve it?
Thanks.
Sorry, I can't tell from your description what is going on. Are you allowed to choose the destination, or does it just install? Perhaps the package is poorly configured and has hard-coded install paths.
Do all installers have the same problem?
Unfortunately, I do not have a drive partitioned like that to test.

I cannot install Java 6 on Mountain Lion
I've always preferred to use Java 6 when I was using Lion as the Java 7 web plugin never displayed well in OSX (some glitches and design settings I didn't care for).
I just bought a new iMac with Mountain Lion, and as expected, no Java installed.
I browsed the forums and read that I can do the following to force ML to install Java 6:
Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities/ and type the following command:
java -version
Hit return to see a message stating “No Java runtime present, requesting install” followed by a window prompting you to install Java SE in order to open “java”, click “Install” to get the latest version
I did this, and the installation completed.
However, when I go to a webpage that as a Java web plugin, I get a message saying "Missing Plugin." Clicking "More Info" will take me to the Java site where I will be promoted to download Java 7 (which I don't want). I've already enabled Java in Safari but I can't figure out what to do!
Any assistance pleaseHere are the relevant articles from Apple:

I Can't figure out if it is possible to retrieve/install the Organizer page after only the Editor page installed on Elements 12. If it is possible, how do I do it?
When I launch PSE 12 directly I do get the "welcome" screen first. If I then click on the Organizer box it gives the moving line for a bit, and then nothing more: no Organizer screen ever appears. However when I click on the Editor box the Editor screen does come up after the moving line starts.
By the way, I've long used PSE 10, and that still works for both screens, so I'm now having to jerryrig the post production process by using the Organizer screen from version 10 to access my photos and then drag them to the Editor screen from version 12 !
I bought PSE 12 because it accomodates/processes/edits in RAW, where version 10 doesn't. I sure don't want to have to pay for version 13, and Adobe chat no longer supports version 12, so any help you can offer would be wonderful !!!
By the way -- in addition, a very useful plug-in (Nik Collection) that i've come to love to use with version 10 doesn't appear with version 12's Editor screen at all. So if you have any thoughts about how to fix that I would really appreciate that too !
Thanks in advance. -- Jessie

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.
Cheers and Happy Computing

I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. When i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space! HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly
This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues. -

Hi ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
If you are using Safari to view YouTube content, with Safari open, press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
And make sure Allow all other plug-Ins is selected in Safari > Preferences > Security
As well as Allow Java. -

Three times I went through this same process for the same outcome. I have redownloaded Mountian Lion three times. I removed the Lion install package from the Applications folder in case this was causing a problem. Deleted and remounted the Mountain Lion package each time. Finally got the package to run through the install, restart and begin the file install - at the end it failed and I was left with a blank startup disc and no data. I have backed up. Through the OSX Recovery screen I selected a Lion reinstall - checked my credential against the app store -fine. But then failed on the reinstall. Now doing a recovery from current backup but wondering the **** is going on. Wasted over 24 hours of processor time.

Open Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities). The left column should show your disk with its partition(s) indented below it:
How is the disk (top level container) formatted according to Disk Utility:
* What Partiton Map Scheme? (Should be "GUID Partition Table".)
* How many partitions? (Should be 1 unless you have a Boot Camp partition.)
How is the partition (lower level container) formatted according to Disk Utility? (Should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".)

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?
Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac -
Hi folks,
I tried downloading the latest OS X Mountain Lion and [after a long time... I have a slow connection] I got an error message ... We could not complete your purchase The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Everytime I retry or continue the download I just keep getting the same error message!!!
What can I do to get my product?
PMThe only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.
