Portrait display resolution issue since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Hello. I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 with the 2.5 GHz i5 and Radeon HD 6630m graphics. I run two monitors, one via HDMI and via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor. The HDMI connection runs landscape, the VGA portrait. Since updating from Lion to Mountain Lion, the resolution options in portrait disappear. I'm forced to use 800x1200, which stretches and distorts horribly, as opposed to the correct 1366x768 available to me in landscape.
Prior to updating from Lion to Mountain lion I didn't have any issues, so it's pretty clear this is Mountain Lion related. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue.

Try holding the option key when you click on the scalled button and see if the resolution you need is listed.

Mail issues since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Hello everyone,
Today I've upgraded to Mountain Lion. When I opened mail my (serveral) hotmail accounts didn't work (kept 'offline').
Got this message: "Mail can't connect to the account ***@live.nl"

I already tried to check the settings, (yes, I also used google) but they seem to be correct:
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/619/accountinfo.jpg
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5320/geadvanceerd.jpg
Now I've deleted all the accounts to completely reconfigure them, but this didn't work either.
I didn't have this issue in Snow Leopard, and 'cause I use my email accounts a lot it would be nice if it could be fixed asap..
Also, only the icloud email seems to work properly, gmail, exchange (Microsoft) and hotmail (live.nl as well as hotmail.com) don't work.
Please help me..

Jeez.. It's annoying. I've tried reinstalling it, yesterday, but I also restored all the backup from TimeMachine, I just didn't want to go through all the setting up of preferences and applications again just because of this single problem. But it was all to no avail.
I guess after all I'll have to start from scratch. =(
Anywayz.. do you have the link to the other threads? Would appreciate that.
Thanks!

Video and webpage issues since upgrade to Mountain Lion.

I recently installed OSX 10.8(as an upgrade) on Macbook Pro(circa2008) with 2.5 Intel Core Duo processor and 4 gigs of RAM. It had 10.6 on it. Since the upgrade ,video has shown blue squigly lines while playing and web pages show squigly yellow ones. The screengrab is playing a file in quicktime over a Chrome (Safari has same issue) showing yellow lines. The blue lines are there when watching Youtube video as well as while working in iMovie. It does not affect the qualityof video when uploaded. No issues with Jpegs or text files. Only videos and webpages. I'm baffled.

SD card cannot be formatted or written to since upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Since upgrading to mountain lion, I cannot format (write) to any of my MS-DOS (FAT 32) formatted SD cards. Prior to the upgrade this was never a problem. Apple Genius bar and calls to support have been no help so far. Can someone here solve this issue ?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums! If by "device", you mean your BB, probably not. If, by "device", you mean the card, then probably yes. You can keep diagnosing by trying other things:
A known-good card in your BB
This potentially bad card in a different card reader
This potentially bad card in a known-good BB (one that for sure can read it's Media Card)
But, given how short a time you've had it, taking it in for evaluation might actually be your best bet.
Good luck!

Since upgrading to mountain lion unable to play dvd's

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I am unable to play DVD's I get audio but no video

Perhaps your screen resolution got set back to default? Go to  -> System Preferences -> Displays, click 'Scaled' and try the different resolutions until you get to what you think you had previously.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my home wifi dies for all devices when I bring my MacBook Pro home.

The situation:
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the following sequence of events has happened with my laptop.
1. I come home from work.
2. I open the lid of my laptop.
3. I see the white "your comptuer's messed up" screen. I click a button to restart.
4. We lose wifi. This affects all devices.
5. I restart the router and modem.
Once it's restarted, I have no issues - until I leave for work and bring the computer back that night. I've checked the router and modem - no issues there, as it works perfectly for every other device in the house, and even works for the laptop perfectly (once they've been reset, that is).
Some notes of clarification:
1. The wifi does not die with any other device - this includes an iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.
2. BUT, when the wifi DOES die, it affects every device in the house.
3. My laptop does not do this with any other wifi - only my home wifi.
It seems to me that the correlation is in the initial connection. When my laptop initially tries to connect to our home wifi, it's as if it fries both the connection and the computer. I see a lot of issues with people losing wifi for their computer, or slow wifi, but I haven't seen anything that relates to this wifi death across all devices when the laptop is reawoken after being at work. It's like there's something messed up with the switch from work wifi to home wifi.
Please help!

Hi,
I had a similar issue with Time Machine after upgrading my iMac (where the Time Machine HDD is connected and shared from) to Mountain Lion. This was fixed by following the instruction from this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700. It seems that Mountain Lion introduced a more secure network protocol which may not be supported (yet) by the network drive.
Hope this helps.
BR,

Just want to ask about the full screen icon that used to be on the play bar but seems to have disappeared since upgrade to mountain lion, any way to get it back?

Since upgrading to mountain lion I've noticed the full screen icon which used to be on the playback bar in quicktime has gone, I know you can go to the menus to make it full screen but if you're watching something online like with apple trailers I can't seem to make them fullscreen anymore, is it me or have they just taken this option away now?

I've been playing the trailers in my browser and the full screen option has gone for me,
As already stated, the icon was replaced by the "Share" pop-up menu icon in the same location.
and the command-f keys don't work either when I'm playing in a browser and it's truly only been since I upgraded to mountain lion.
Strange! It works for me. Here is a link to a screen recording of me wayching a trailer in Safari and later watching a trailer download. In both cases the trailer could be expsnded for full screen viewing and then reduced back to the size of the original 720p player display screen. If you can't do this then you may have a player problem also.

Why did apple make these changes when they worked perfectly the old way, I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Only Apple whould know for sure but my guess would be that other users may have requested the "Share" pop-up more. Makes no difference to me because I normally use the key shortcuts anyway.

Bluetooth and Isight not working since upgrade to Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a mid-2010 MBP running OSX 10.8.2.
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, My bluetooth and iSight both have stopped working. I have tried the clear the SMC numerous times. Mostly it does not have any effect. However, a couple of times, it has restored service to the iSight and the bluetooth, but as soon as I reboot the machine they are back to being disabled. Sometimes they become available without my resetting the SMC and for seemingly no reason. I have also replaced a couple of different kext files: Apple_iSight.kext and AppleUsbVideoSupport.kext with known good ones. I also Verified and Repaired on the disk. In this case, permissions issues were detected and repaired, but without fixing my original problems.
I would like desperately to resolve this without buying a new disk and doing a fresh install of OSX Lion. I would definitely NOT go back to Moutain Lion in this scenario. But I don't know what do next. I don't see many posts on this subject and those I have seen do not offer much hope. I know I am not the only one suffering with this, but I don't think Apple is addressing the problems, because they may not be pervasive enough right now.
If anyone has found a way to resolve this permanently, please share with me. I would like to roll back to Lion, but can't do that either.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Brad.

This is likely a conflict with some 3-rd party s/w you have on the MBP but not the other two computers. Have a look in here
 > System Preferences.. Users & Groups | Login Items
Is there something in here that's not in the same list on the other Macs? If so, try removing it and restarting your computer. If that solves the problem, try contacting the developer to see if there's an update.
If that doesn't solve the problem, go through your other 3rd party apps and look for updates on all of them. One of them is stopping your mouse from working properly.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
Any ideas ?

This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

Scrolling Unbearably SLOW Since Upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have a LOT of Playlists set up in iTunes, and previously if I were trying to drag and drop a playlist onto my iPod, it was very easy - scrolling acted just like it did in every other program. However, since upgrading to Mountain Lion recently, it takes FOREVER to drag a Playlist from the bottom of the list all the way up to my iPod to copy the playlist to the iPod. I can't seem to find the "sweet spot" to make the scrolling MOVE - I drag up to the top of that window and usually it would begin scrolling up the playlists at a normal speed - but now when I point the cursor to the top of that window, it will scroll maybe 2 or 3 playlists and then "stall" - I have to jiggle up and down over and over to get it to move at all! It literally is taking over 2 minutes to get from the Z's to the top to drop to my iPod! This can't be right...??
Is this a bug? Or is there another way you're supposed to do this?

How bizarre is that??!! But yes, it worked for me, too. Just wish you could hold it instead of having to hit it over and over to keep the scrolling going.
Another "trick" I found by accident was that if you hold the cursor towards the top like you're trying to scroll up - but then drag it back and forth (left and right) - it causes the upwards scrolling to speed up.

Email not readable since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am not able to read my email in the upgraded version of Mail. All my emails ON MY MAC are readable as normal, but my Inbox emails are there and I can read the single line information (From, Subject, Date Received, Mailbox) for all my emails but when I try and open one I get the revolving spindle wheel and Loading message. My sent box appears empty unless I send a test email and then all my sent emails appear but again when I try and open one all I get is the same as for my inbox emails. If I quit and reopen Mail, the inbox does not change but all my sent emails "disappear" again. Is this an indexing problem or do I need to rebuild my mailboxes. Although I have back ups, I do not want to take any action to make this situation worse. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites. Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly. I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade. Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
Thanks
Andrew

Time Machine doesn't appear in Launchpad since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion (I'm using 10.8.1), Time Machine doesn't appear as one of the apps when using Launchpad. I can't figure out where it "went" but how do I get it back into Launchpad?
It's still in the Applications folder and in my Dock but I'd like to know why it isn't in Launchpad any more?
Thanks.
Sheri

Open Terminal and copy:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps; \
DELETE from groups WHERE title<>''; DELETE from items WHERE rowid>2;" \
&& killall Dock
Go to Applications and drag the apps to Launchpad
