  • Adding eject toolbar icons in Mountain Lion

    how can I add the eject icon in Mountain Lion's toolbar?

    Add an Eject Item to the Menu Bar
    Open a Finder window and navigate to /System/Library/Core Services/ Menu Extras.
    Double-click the Eject.menu item in the Menu Extras folder.
    Once it's there, you can command-drag it to where you want it.

  • Can I get rid of the MobileMe sync icon in Mountain Lion?

    I recently set up a new MacBook Pro by using setup assistant to restore from a Time Machine backup of an old Snow Leopard machine. In general it's worked fine, but I still seem to have the old MobileMe sync icon in the menu bar, and as far as I can work out it's now totally functionless. MobileMe no longer exists, and there's no longer any MobileMe preferences screen to turn it off. Clicking on it just shows a message saying 'no devices syncing'. Does it serve any useful purpose in Mountain Lion, and if not, how can I get rid of it?

    That works! Thanks. Does it serve any useful purpose in Mountain Lion that I'm missing, or is it just a stub that somehow didn't get removed?
    Does nothing at all now.

  • Blank Icons on Mountain Lion using Microsoft word?

    I never had this problem

    Which version of Word are you using?

  • Mail icon in Mountain Lion

    With ML, the swirling icon is gone from 'Get Mail' in Lion, and now there is a headphones-like icon on the Inbox bar in Mail. What is this icon's meaning?

    In Mountain Lion mail, it is still possible to switch between a preview and an icon of an attachment.
    How somebody else is seeing it when he/she is receiving it it totally up to their mail app. It has nothing to do with PC or Mac or whatever system they use.
    So you have basically no real chance to control what the receipient will see when looking at your mail.

  • Pixelated icons in mountain lion

    Icons are unexpectedly pixelated. As far as I can tell it is with newly installed applications. The icons of the apps that came with ML appear fine.

    Killed the dock, no difference in LaunchPad icons.
    Restarted OSX, no difference either.
    Checked /Library/Preferences again, neither  com.apple.dock.db nor com.apple.dock.plist are present (are they not rewritten when they've been deleted?). But there is a new com.apple.dockfixup.plist

  • No Airplay icon: Macbook Pro 8,2 Apple TV2 4.3, Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    What am I doing wrong?
    I have the following setup,
    Macbook Pro 8,2
    Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Apple TV2 4.3 (Airplay on)
    Airport Extreme 7.6
    Airport Express 7.6.2 (extended network)
    which according to all the specs should work fine.  All the following work fine,
    Macbook pro itunes to the apple tv
    Macbook pro itunes to the airport extreme
    iphone 4s to the apple tv
    iphone 4s to the airport extreme
    But the airplay icon in Mountain Lion is missing, in Settings -> Display it says 'Airplay Mirroring: No Devices Detected'
    I even tried turning off IPv6 for ethernet, but still nothing.
    What am I missing?  What am I doing wrong?

    The icon you are after relates to airplay mirroring.
    This is supported for Apple TV with software version 5 or later. 4.3 which you have supports airplay but not airplay mirroring.
    update your Apple TV to software v.5

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo search on Mountain Lion  safari .

    I have tried everything to get rid of Yahoo from my newly installed Mountain lion upgrade. I have a MBP mid 2011 17".  . I'm used to using Safari so I would ltke to keep using it. BUT, even though I have Google as my default or perferred search engine, Yahoo keeps coming up. I have already tried hiding tool bar & then individually putting up the print , home.etc. icons. But that doesn't work either. I have searched for an answer to no avail thus far. It's beginning to look like I either use Yahoo w/Safari or switch to FF or Chrome. Any answers I will be grateful for. Thanking you in advance. I could just scream at this point. LOL
    And one other thing is bugging me to death. Is there any way to enlarge the toolbar & icons on Mountain Lion. They are very tiny...too tiny. I've tried everything I could think of.

    Try deleting the Safari .plist file. Preferences can become corrupted.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go the move the com.apple.Safari.pist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and check Safari > Preferences  > General. Make sure Google is selected.

  • Why isn't OS X Mountain Lion not downloading from Mac App Store?

    Hi all,
    I have recently downloaded the OS upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store for £13.99, and it is't downloading. Since purchasing I have received the bill from Apple outlining I have purchased the item. But nothing has happened as yet. I have looked under purchases in the Mac App Store and it just shows the progression bar...
    79.3 MB of 4.37 GB - Calculating...
    I have restarted my IMac many times and still nothing!!!
    What can I do?? I have the icon for Mountain Lion in the dock but the only options available I can see are... Pause, or Cancel Download.
    Please help!!!
    I am running Mac OS X  version 10.6.8
    Thanks in advance

    It looks stuck, and at this point, you probably ought to cancel the download and start it over again. (No worries about paying again... once you buy something in the App Store, you own it for as long as it stays in the store and can re-download it all you like.)
    Also, before you consider installing the upgrade, note that there are some things you should do:
    1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
    2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
    4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
    5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
    6) Install the upgrade.
    Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

  • Mountain Lion stuck installing in Launchpad. What can I do?

    On the Launchpad desktop I can see the icon of Mountain Lion's installer that is stuck. The progression bar has not moved since a few days and I don't know how I can try to reinstall the OS.
    Anyone an Idea?

    Restart your Mac and the download should resume.

  • New dock for Mountain Lion

    When I installed Mountain Lion there was another Safari symbol in my dock, it was much cooler than the old one but I must have double clicked it (I think) and now it's gone. Does anyone know how to get it back?

    I'm not sure what you're referring to.  The Safari symbol (icon) in Mountain Lion is the same as it was in Lion, so I'm unsure what the "glitch" symbol you're referring to looked like.
    The dock does have a new look in Mountain Lion if you have it at the bottom of the screen, yes.

  • Mountain Lion changes my google chat icon / avatar

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and regularly, after a few days of use, I notice that my Google chat icon / image / avatar is being changed to an image that I have on my local machine, that I once had as my login avatar, but have not used now for over 8 years! 
    It seems that Mountain Lion is telling Google's chat (but not Google+, or facebook) to use this image as my avatar for google chat, even though I am not explicitly telling it to, AND both my contacts and login profile images (System Preferences -> Users & Groups)  on my mac are set to the correct image I want.
    Originially, my avatar was an animated gif, but I'm trying to replace that everywhere with a standard gif just in case that's the problem, but it doesn't seem to be helping!
    Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up??  The picture is not my current login or contacts pictures...
    I did look at this discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19272677#19272677 but changing my contacts image, even to a standard jpg/gif, did not help.
    Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up?? 

    Ok... I figured it out on my own...
    Messages will regularly (~1 hour I think) change all the avatar/profile images it can for all the various jabber, AIM, etc (including gchat, since it's jabber protocol).  I thought it was changing it to my Address book or "contacts" profile, or my login images, but these are independent of the one Messages was using (atleast for me). Here's how I fixed this for me:
    Go to Mac OS Menu Bar (when focussed in Messages):
    Messages -> Change My Picture...
    Then drag an image you want to use into one of the "recents" tab, use the "other" tab, or take a picture of yourself using the web cam.  Once you've selected a photo, you can crop it within the image window, or leave it alone.  When you're ready, just click "done" button.
    That's seeming to fix this PITA for me... why Apple decided my Mac's account image, Contacts profile, and Messages avatar image should all be different... beats me.

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
    To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible

    I think I finished installing Mountain Lion, and am at the "log in" page with the Mountain Lion icon, but I cannot do any of the functions on screen. That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.
