  • 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.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with downloading OSX Mountain Lion?  It doesn't recognize my server!

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on my MacBook and now it does not recognize my server.  Has anyone else had this problem or know how to resolve it?

        What a terrible coincidence, nick70! I can assure that most updates go smoothly. I'm sorry to hear that yours didn't. If you're unable to power your device back on, we may need to get a replacement device out to you. Please follow/DM me ( Chauncey_VZW ) with your contact information, and I'd be happy to resolve this for you! I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Problems whit my OSX Mountain Lion

    what i supose to do?.. and another thing, when i open "system actualization"( i dont know if in english calls that way) the mac opening directly appstore, in OSX lion dont du that, thats is normal? and game central dont open.. I repeat what I supose to do?

    Apple has consolidated the Software Update tool into the App Store, so when you check for updates it will launch and use the App Store.

  • Apple store probleme de telechargement OSX Mountain Lion

    Impossible de vérifier le fichier de distribution du produit. Il est peut-être endommagé ou non signé.

    Possibly nothing. The whole thing relies on the amount of people currently doing the same thing as you and also your internet connection, remembering that WiFi is extremely slow.
    How far through the download is it? If it's nearly done and at least still moving along I would be inclined to leave it. If not then you can stop it and start it all over again. Just be warned that if it is simply a connection issue then you might just be re-starting your clock
    PS - I've seen the download take over 60hrs before.

    Can somebody please advise urgently...
    I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion.
    I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted the folder off my desktop - and  following this - things started to go all weird...pages hanging, the coloured 'wheel of death' appeared for ages. So i had to employ a 'hard-boot' restart - as i had not other options.
    I'm pretty sure i made copies of of files/apps/folders etc - however not so sure now as i cant even start up my laptop!!!
    Can somebosy please help me urgently??!!!

    Got the exact same problem, and I also did this operation many times before, from 500Gb to 750Gb, and then from 750Gb to 1 Gb. Not My HD got a little such complaining about bad sectors when in windows bootcamp, but still runs fine though.
    So I bought a new 1Gb drive exactly same drive as the one thats getting sick. I did the clone thing, with super duper, CCC, DU, but no matter it will not boot when i move the new drive inside the macbook…….**** thing exuse me, but wasted so much time.
    Now I get this strange feeling that something must have changed in the macbook itself. Just wondering if this could be a EFI "mac bios" prevention thing, they made just to sell more new computers, when you can't improve or fix your old one.
    If so, then its pretty scary. If not then I simply can't figure out why this suddenly becomes a problem for so many people, as I see so many posts about this!!

  • 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 know

    You can not upgrade your Video card at all.
    Mountain Lion may help, but I don't know that it will.

  • HT202159 OSX Mountain Lion download problems

    Hello,
    I have been trying to download OSX Mountain Lion from the appstore on my 10.6.8 mac mini but the file stops downloading after about 10mb. I was able to download 10.7 without any problems but I am not able to downlaod 10.8 on either of my two machines. Both stop at about 10mb. Anyone seen this or have any possible solutions?
    Thanks!
    Travis

    I have seen this, unfortunately there are 100 & 1 different things that can cause this. If you want to trouble shoot, let's power-cycle both your modem and router and see how that goes.

    I write in greek as well as english on my mac (osx mountain lion) problem is, there is no spell checking on pages, and yes, i have added a greek dictionary in the library spelling folder. and i can also select it from the inspector. what's wrong?

    You need to give more details:
    1. What version of Pages?
    2. Where did you get the Greek dictionary from and exactly how did you install it?
    3. Are you applying the language to your text?

  • Osx mountain lion purchase problem

    Hey , i have a problem purchasing os x mountain lion from apple store. Whenever i hit Buy button, and after entering my password, it redirects me to the billing info page. by the way, i dont have a payment method set. The method i will use for the purchase is by itunes gift card. after that i get the password requirement again and when i enter it, the os doesnt get purchased and everything keeps happening again and again. whats the problem here? the app goes for 19.99 and i have about 20$ so i have enough credit for the os.
    Help please.

    Don't know if you're in the US, but the MAS charges tax on purchases here and that would mean there's not enough credit on your account.

  • Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine.  I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
    Unsupported operating system
    The router software supports these operating systems:
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.7 or later
    I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
    Thanks
    Gary

    All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

  • 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,
    ddhall

    First, 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.
