Problem in connect legacy afp in Mountain Lion - HT4700 doesn't work

For this problem, i have tried the suggested steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
Though it states it works for Lion and Mountain Lion but my 10.8.2 ML still does not work after all the steps are performed.
Evidence for the steps done:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version
1
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams
    "Cleartxt Passwrd",
    "MS2.0",
    "2-Way Randnum exchange"
Symptoms:
- If i use Guest account for afp://<ip-address>, it will connect without problem before and after applying HT4700.
- If i use registered account with username and password for afp://<ip-address>, it won't connect but always show:
There was a problem connecting to the server XXXXXX
- The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact ......
Questions:
1) Please advise the log path for the above error so that i can at least know the error code and more informaton to search.
2) If it relates to UAMS, why Guest account is allowed without problem? Guest account is more risky than all above 4 disabled authentication methods!
3) Will this problem occurs in 10.8.2 only as HT4700 KB was announced before 10.8.2?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions and solutions.

For other website forums, the main cause is that the required version of netatalk from OSX 10.8 requires higher version as 2.2+. If your old AFP machine can update the netatalk to higher version, you can backup data and try it.
For my case, i can't update the netatalk to later version and it seems the only way is to use Guest account to connect to that old AFP machine (i hence need to redesign the network diagram ) Anyway, i am still trying to find any better workaround for this problem.

After installing Mountain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work anymore.

Before, I used OS 10.6.8, but tonight after updating the new system Moutain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work any more.
TextEdit is something I use offen, I need a solution.

Image Capture is one of the applications that comes with the OS and there doesn't appear to be a separate download for it. You would have to reinstall the OS to get in back if it isn't there.
Depending on the printer you have, you may have an option to scan from System Preferences/Print & Scan.
try deleting the .plist - com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.

Mountain Lion Email doesn't work even with 10.8.1 update!

My mail application completely failed shortly after the upgrade to Mountain Lion. None of the user advice has repaired it from these forums, so I have now resigned myself to using my ipad and iphone to conduct all my business emails. I was hopeful that this first 10.8.1 update from Apple would restore the my mail application. I can frustratingly report that no, it certainly hasn't. No change in fact. I click on the mail app and the beachball of death continues for about 5 minutes then it comes up with a message 'there is a problem with your mailboxes' with the option to quit or quit and rebuild index. If I choose that latter, the beachball resumes it's rotation forever or until I hard reset the machine as all other programs crash at this point. Apple, please help FAST, this is no way to run a business!!!!

Agreed, but I think that for most Mail seems to be working fine. There don't seem to many posts complaining about Mail problems - well no more than usual.
Have you tried a Safe Boot which sometimes helps in solving odd problems. and if that doesn't help, re-installing the OS using the Recovery HD?

For a Safe Boot restart holding down the shift key until you see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

I have problems to connect iCal 6.0 (Mountain Lion) with Exchange Server 2007

I used ICal with Exchange Server 2007 without problems with Lion. After I adopted Mountain it has been impossible to use ICal and I have obliged to use Outlook because It was not possible to connect ICal with Server.
I reinstalled Mountain and rebuilt Outlook data base, canceled cache and so on but without results. How cn I do?

I was having problems with this too. I remember it working okay in iOS 7 and then it breaking in iOS 8.
Fortunately, I'm now on the iOS 8.1 beta, and can confirm it's working fine for me. Just how it used to. - I guess that's one of the bugs that Apple's new software will bust. We'll just have to wait it out.

How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP. If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

Or you can get an all in one:

If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:

Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later. Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

It would always be easier to fix the Mail problems.

There isn't a script.
Mail connects to any standard email server.
Open the Connection Doctor from the Window menu.
Click Show Details and Check Again.
What errors does it post trying to connect to your email provider.
I dont' think there is any personal information in the output, but you might want to sanitize the output in a text editor before posting the output here in case there is a login user name or something like that.

Is anyone else experiencing frequent blackout problems on an external monitor in Mountain Lion?

Is anyone else experiencing frequent blackout problems on an external monitor in Mountain Lion? I called Apple Support and got a temporary fix by removing preferences, but frequent --several second-- blackouts are back. Will an HDMI cable alleviate this?

I have been experiencing this, but with Lion, not Mountain Lion. It is driving me nuts!
I am using LG L246WP monitor via HDMI to DVI on MacPro1,1. I have tried changing cables, even tried VGA to DVI (no blackouts with VGA, but not sure I can trust that, because there is no set pattern of when it will blackout!).
I did try another monitor for most of a day - no blackouts/flickers, and as soon as I hooked up my original monitor, I got blackouts, which led me to believe it is the monitor.
I have searched and read several forums on blackouts, each with different configurations, so at this point I am not sure what it is. I even replaced my Graphics/Video card, because someone on Apple forum said most likely that was the culprit, but still having same problem (even as I type this!).
It is like something is intermittently interfering with signal???

Will i have big problems if i go back to Mountain Lion after having upgraded to Mavericks?

According to the App Store, Pages compatibility is v10.9 or later.
Same for iPhoto and Numbers.
