Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion:  is there a way to sort reminders in due date order in the same fashion as you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
"Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

  • If you have 2 apple ids, how do you sign out of one and into the other so you can update the app that was purchased in the other account.  thanks

    If you purchased an app in one account and work mostly in another, how do you switch the purchased app account to update it?
    thanks

    You need to sign out and back in only if you're on your Mac and you want to update the iTunes data.  You'll see a notice saying that there are five (or so) updates but when you go to download them, they're not all present.  So you download them, sign out from one ID and sign back in with the other ID.  Then you can download the remaining ones.
    If you're downloading directly to the iPad, everything is transparent.  It does not matter what ID is configured in Settings.  The iPad automatically chooses the correct ID or IDs when updates are available.

    There is a hidden preference that controls when Firefox checks for a newer version. # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

    i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
                                                                                                                         thanks for your time and help!

    When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear.  Make it a very short quick press.
    OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright.  On long calls you have to repeat this.
    Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

  • I cannot seem to update Garageband 11 on my new MacBook Pro retina (Mountain Lion)

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new 15" MBP retina (Mountain Lion). I have Garageband '11 pre-installed.
    When i try to add additonal instruments Garageband opens a prompt box and asks if I want to update now or  later. I have tried both options and neither work - the app store opens but it cannot find any updates.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    Sometimes you need to reload the updates page at the App Store after you selected to "Update Later":
    From the App Store main menu bar: Store > Reload page
    If that does not bring the update forward, see my post here:

  • Existing IMAP notes not available in notes app after mountain lion installation

    After today's mountain lion upgrade (from lion) my notes stored on an IMAP server are not available in the new notes app. The folder of the IMAP Account itself is shown but appears empty. On my Iphone all notes of the IMAP Account are shoen correctly as well as on another mac still running lion.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I assume there are some different reasons for the syncing problem.
    I got my notes syncing again by just losing the prefix on my iPhone and renaming the existing notes folder. For those with a similar problem, here's how:
    Old situation:
    Within OS X Lion I used a Gmail account with notes (IMAP). To avoid a messy layout with the Gmail folders I used [Gmail] as IMAP Path Prefix (found under Accounts, tab Advanced).
    Under iOS5, 'Notes' was ticked on under the Gmail account. The result: Apple created a IMAP folder '[Gmail]/Notes' to store all notes.
    New situation:
    After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I ticked 'Notes' under the Gmail account within system prefs, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars'. The new Notes app remained empty and didn't show my existing notes that were still on my iPhone.
    Logging in to www.gmail.com reveiled a new folder created by Mountain Lion: 'Notes'. The existing notes folder was named '[Gmail]/Notes' - because I used the [Gmail] prefix - and contained al the existing notes.
    So Mountain Lion syncs with the IMAP folder 'Notes' and the iPhone syncs with the folder '[Gmail]/Notes'
    In Lion the Mail settings were used for both Mail and Notes. So the IMAP prefix applied to both.
    In Mountain Lion, the IMAP prefix only applies to Mail, not to Notes.
    New situation, fixed:
    As Mountain Lion can only use a folder called 'Notes' for syncing, I had to change the folder my iPhone was syncing with: '[Gmail]/Notes'. I removed the newly created folder 'Notes' via www.gmail.com under the label settings and renamed label '[Gmail]/Notes' to 'Notes'. After that I removed the IMAP prefix '[Gmail]' from my iPhone Gmail (advanced) account settings, making the iPhone sync notes with the folder 'Notes' instead of '[Gmail]/Notes'. That's it.
    Btw, I maintained the use of the prefix within Apple Mail under Mountain Lion as that is totally separated from the Notes section.
    Hope this helps.

  • I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?

    I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?
    I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

    Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)

  • Mail app on Mountain Lion receives no emails

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with mountain lion.
    I tried to set my mail account (Hotmail) .
    The problem is that there are no push notifications so I configurated to check for new mails every minute!
    I tried to send several emails from my account to myself but eventhough it has passed over 2 minutes...the mails wasn't in the mail app or the Notification Center...
    What can i do?

    This is a very tough problem, because it specifically involves the handling of Japanese text. Your crash seems to be the same as one reported on Apple Discussions Japan:

  • Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

    Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar.  I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do.  (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.)  Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail.  I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away.  After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app!  Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
    I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android.  I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution?  It's so annoying!!
    (I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone.  Hmmmm.)

    Good day all,
    I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
    You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
    Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
    /Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
    Export stickies created by Stickies.app
    Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
    In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
    Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
    After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually...  I have decided to use NV from now on.
    The instructions above is from the following page:

  • I just purchased a new iMac. Will mountain lion be offered as a free update?

    I purchased a new iMac on Monday. Will the new OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) be offered as a free update for people who just purchased a new Mac?

    Almost certainly not, since Moutain Lion won't make an appearance until this summer (at least 4 months off) and Apple historically has offered free OS updates to purchasers of new Macs within 1 month of a new major OS release.
    Don't worry about it, though. The upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store will most likely be a simply $30, which is very small for a full OS version bump.

    I have the same problem. I am running OS 10.6.8 so am ready to download mountain lion; however, the download only sits on my dock stating: "Waiting".
