  • Time Machine after upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I upgraded my Macbook pro to Mountain Lion yesterday from Snow Leopard. I just did the upgrade over the top of snow leopard so all of my apps and documents are exactly as they were (right down to the wallpaper)
    However, there is a problem with time machine.
    Time Machine no longer automatically backups to the drive I had been using for my snow leopard backups (I assume this is because I have changed operating systems).
    How can i continue to use this drive for time machine?
    Can I just select it again and will it retain my existing snow leopard backups?
    Or do I need to format it?
    Cheers guys.

    Thank you, so that will retain my existing snow leopard backups and just start making new mountain lion backups? (There is more than 1TB of available space on the drive still)

  • Time machine can not access time capsule after upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion

    Two days ago I upgraded my 2009 17" MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. That evening my time capsule/time machine combination worked fine and did an incremental backup of about 12 gigabyte. Yesterday - only one day later - the time machine backup did not work anymore.
    It appears that the system can not find the time capsule - even though it shows the remaining free space on the time capsule (so it did find it after all).
    The message is always the same:
    Time Machine can not complete the backup "Time Capsule"
    The image of the backup volume "/Volumes/Data/Pauls MacBookPro.sparsebundle" is not accessable (Error -1).
    I also can not delete the backup image on the time capsule since it is read-only. And I do not want to format the time caspsule yet since my wife's MBAir is also using the same time casule.
    I tried out all kinds of suggestions (hard and soft resetting both the MBP and the TC, entering the password again, setting the TC up again) all to no avail. No backup is possible anymore.

    Sounds like you got this message earlier:
    If so, see #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    Offhand, I don't recall anyone not being able to delete one via the Finder (but most were only backing-up one Mac, so just erased the disk).
    You may have to wait for that message to appear again (24 hours later), or you might try holding Alt/Option with the TM icon in the menubar, and select Verify Backups if it will let you.

  • Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion create problems within Premiere projects?

    I'm looking at the probability of upgrading from Mac OSX 10.6 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion).  I have to if I want to install or upgrade just about anything at this point.
    I was hoping to wait until the latest Premiere project was finished to avoid creating possible discrepancies between how the project plays back before and after the upgrade.  I'll skip the details and just say that it might be best if I do the upgrade now and install a new GPU to help with the massive amounts of rendering/playback needed.  Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion cause any likely problems?  No other Adobe apps are involved with this project.
    I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 and Adobe CS6.  I have two separate clone drives of my current boot disk as well as a Time Machine back up.  So I can go back if I really need to.  I'll also make sure the project is saved manually elsewhere.
    Thanks for any input!

  • Can i upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion and stay with iTunes 10.7?

    I woukld like to upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion but i don't want the new iTunes 11. Is this possible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, you should have at least 4 GB of memory. You can check the amount of RAM you have in  > About this Mac.
    OS X Mavericks will be launched in weeks and will include new features > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

  • I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

    I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • Another problem with Time Machine

    This is the second time I have experienced the following problem with Time Machine. After 2 months of backups it gets to a point where backups fail and I cannot enter time machine. In each instance I have only used 110GB of the 500GB space.
    Is there a better solution to fixing this problem than deleting the sparsebundle? That seems to be the only way to get it to back up again.

  • Best way to migrate from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (different MacBook)

    I'm planning on getting a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion, and I'd like to know what would be the best way to restore the files from my current MacBook. It has Snow Leopard installed, and I've been using Time Machine to back it up the last couple years.
    I've been doing some research, but I couldn't really get a clear idea on what would be the best method to do that. I heard there are some problems with Time Machine functionality when upgrading from SL to ML. It wouldn't be necessary to copy the whole disk with each system record. But I do need to transfer many of my documents and files (which are backed up by Time Machine/Time Capsule)
    Should I use the Migration Assistant? Or is there a setup option to import my files during the first Mountain Lion boot? Or what else would be healthier/recommended?
    Thank you all for the attention.

    Should I use the Migration Assistant? Or is there a setup option to import my files during the first Mountain Lion boot? Or what else would be healthier/recommended?
    I recommend NOT using Migration Assistant. Setup Assistant will produce far better results. When you turn on your new Mac for the first time, you will be asked if you want to transfer data from another Mac. That's Setup Assistant at work. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Answering "no" to Setup Assistant and then trying to use Migration Assistant later is almost always a mistake.

  • Upgrading from snow leopard to mountain lion will i have trouble using my Pages and Iphoto since it's not the latest version

    I am contemplating upgrading my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  Currently, I don't have ICloud available on my computer.  I also keep getting messages to upgrade my IPhoto to '11 version as well as Pages.  I know, I'm behind, but my theory is if it isn't broke don't mess with it.
    My concern is I don't want to lose my pictures and YES, I have backed up with Time Machine to an external hard drive.  (I just hope that's good enough).  IF I upgrade to start using ML OS, will I need to restore anything from my external hard drive or will I be able to start using computer as if nothing changed? 
    I know enough to be dangerous and I'm hesitant to upgrade for fear of losing everything.  Would appreciate help.  Thanks!

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

    Not if you have a PPC machine. In that case your are at the limit. But if you have an Intel model:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
