Recent files in Mountain lion

How do I quickly find recent files now that the choices of searching by Today, Yesterday and Past Week are gone?

I just read this in an article:
"In fact, if you were a keen user of the Today,Yesterday and All Images saved searches that appeared by default in Snow Leopard, you might want to re-create them."
Is that what creating a Smart folder would do? It gave no specific instructions on how to do that. How do I tell a Smart folder to save everything from today, or yesterday? Also not sure where to right click.
Thanks

I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

I recently upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot connect to my Brother QL-570 Label Maker

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now cannot print out on my Brother QL-570 printer. I get as far as typing in the label name and then the labeller or computer disconnect. I have tried downloading drivers from Brother but they can't do that as only Apple can do that but there is nothing in Apple to do that. I also reloaded the program off the set up disc. . Any ideas?

yeah-find out where you're downloading stuff to, and stick with it. I'm using FireFox and tell it to save the driver and stuff on the desktop, and when I quit FireFox, there it is on the desktop. you'll also need your admin password. It should show up as a .dmg file, then double-click on it to open it. You should see "Brother.pkg" . start up brother.pkg (double click??) and folow the instructions that ought to appear to install the printer driver. If the .dmg file doesn't mount, use Disk Utility** to mount it and get it working. Then you should see the package. and then you can install it.
** you may have to click on the .dmg file and choose "Get Info" then Open with, then choose disk utility, and then open with then change all. then close it. Hopefully that ought to work. If you cannot remember your admin password, I can't help you right now. Looks like you'd need it, to let Brother install that printer driver.
well, enough for tonight
if this didn't help you, then ask me again tomorrow

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash won't empty completely; says "item" inuse

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash will not empty completely. Always an item left in trash, and I get message that the "item is in use." Right now, using app Trash it! to get rid of that left behind item.

Try rebuilding Trash and see if that sorts it...
Launch Terminal and copy & paste these commands:
Go to /Applications /Utilities/Terminal and launch it.
At the prompt, copy and paste this command
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Press Return.
You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will be invisible.
Enter it and press Return.
Log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

I have recently upgraded to mountain lion and I can not get the calendar application to work. I con appears on the side put on calendars. Any suggestions

I have recently upgrades to Mountain Lion and I can not get the calendar utility to come alive. Icon appears in the tast bar but the application does not launch or appear to be any where else. Any suggestion?

Did you look in the Applications folder for Calendar? If it is there, remove the item that is in the Dock and replace it by dragging the Calendar application to the Dock.
If it is not there, did you have iCal located somewhere other than the Applications folder when you upgraded?

I re-booted my macbook pro recently and downloaded mountain lion. Afterwards iPhoto disappeared and I'm having difficulty restoring it. Any suggestions?

I rebooted my macbook pro recently and downloaded mountain lion. Afterwards iPhoto dissapeared and I canr seem to restore it. Any suggestions?

Rebooting is the same as restarting. That should not have any effect on what software is installed on your machine unless something is very, very wrong. Do you mean that you erased the hard drive and installed Mountain Lion? If so, you will also need to reinstall iPhoto. What system did your machine originally ship with? If it came with disks, you can reinstall the iLife apps from the Applications disk.

Missing files from mountain lion software.

I have lost some files for mountain lion and don't have enough space to download it. I have backed up my files. If I changed my hard drive capacity will I be able to download the software?

Wow... quick responses. After a LONG time and alot of troubleshooting, I have determined that my firwire ports are not working. This is the process I went through to determine this.
Was running Mountain Lion and using Target Disk Mode to try and copy some files to another computer. Plugged my computer (running in TDM) into another computer and found that my HD wouldn't show up. Rebooted my computer and noticed that it wouldn't boot into Mountain Lion. It would sit on the Apple Logo with a spinning gear. After a while of trying to troubleshoot the problem, I then tried reinstalling Mountain Lion on a different HD (removed my internal one and replaced it with another one - the one I'm using currently, so I know it works). I restored the Mountain Lion InstallESD.dmg image file to an external HD and tried booting from it. Upon trying to boot from the external drive, I too found that I was getting the Apple with Spinning Gear. Tried to boot to Lion and got the same thing. I then tried to install Snow Leopard and after a long time, it did install, but took a LONG TIME to boot up. Once it booted, I checked in the System Profiler and found that my firewire ports were not working (driver wasn't loading or something the like - I don't remember the exact error code). I then deleted the firewire kext files as many others have done, and boom, it was very fast.
This brings me back to my original question. How would I remove the firewire kext files from the InstallESD.dmg file so that I can boot into Mountiain Lion? Once I am able to install the OS, I will then delete the kext files in single user mode.
I should also mention that I have found the BaseSystem.dmg file and am currently trying to create a copy of it without the kext files. I guess the problem I am having is getting my computer to boot using the modified BaseSystem.dmg file located in the InstallESD.dmg file.
Thanks again to all of you that responded so quickly.

Alternatively, you could use the update features of the Element itself that will download everything for you automatically and al;so install them for you.
Good luck.

My screen suddenly zooms too big w/o me touching anything. Please help. I recently "upgraded" to Mountain Lion on my iMac

My screen suddenly zooms too big without me touching anything (i.e. mouse or keyboard). I can't reduce it. Part of the menu reappears when I click at the very top, but I can't even get the red-yellow-green buttons to show. I recently "upgraded" to mountain lion. Did not have this problem in the past. My settings appear to be correct. Any suggestions?

Hi, have you tried setting a different rez in thje Disply Pref Pane of System Prefs?
Do those things show if you Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup)?

HT3258 I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. After that, I've had innumerable problems with email & none of the documents in Word are openable - a dialog box pops up saying that no Power PC applications are available, or something to that effect

I will re-enter my question: I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. Since then I've had difficulty accessing my Verizon email. Also, all of my Word documents are no longer openable. I get a dialog box that says Power PC apps are no longer supported. Have any of you experienced this & if so, have you just had to "bite the bullet" & start re-doing your docs in Page?

Office 2004 is not compatible with Lion or Mountain Lion because they don't include the Rosetta software that allowed PPC apps to run on Intel hardware.
Office 2008 was the first version of Office designed to run natively on Intel chips.
Office 2011 is the current version.
You can update to Office 2011, Office 2004 was introduced 9 years ago. You can use other 3rd party softwares, i.e., iWorks, Office Libre, etc., that are capable of handling Office documents.
Or, you can revert back to Snow Leopard.
All in all, this topic has been covered in these forums almost every day since Lion was introduced 2 years ago.
Please search the forums for more info.
