Safari 6.0.3 doesnt work now that I installed Mountain Lion Update?
I just installed the Mountain Lion update on my Mac Book Pro.
Now, when I open Safari, it sits and spins (won't access any websites or anything). I checked on firefox (internet works), I closed it and reopened it. I restarted my computer...all to no avail.
How do I reinstall Safari or try to reinstall ML in order to get the newly updated Safari to work? Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks All!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Why is my Photo Booth not working now that I installed OS X Mountain Lion?
I just updated to the OS X Mountain Lion and now my Photo Booth will not work. If I try and open Photo Booth it says "You can't use this version of the application "Photo Booth" with this version of OS X. You have "Photo Booth" 3.0.3." Why wouldn't the new software include a new version of Photo Booth?
Photo Booth version 5 came with Mountain Lion. Try running Software Update to see if the program will update.
If you can't find it you may have to try reinstalling Mountain Lion. -
Right after I downloaded the new Mountain Lion OS, I was not able to see the person I'm calling on Skype. The person I'm calling has no issue with the video streaming, however. Is this a Mountain Lion issue, a Skype issue or some of each? From looking at the Skype site, it seems alot of other people are having similar problems with using all the functions of Skype since downloading the new OS.
Are you using the most recent version of Skype?
Also, if the person on the far end is using a Mac or an iPad, you may want to consider FaceTime. The video quality is scads better. -
In previous versions of OS X I could use Telivo no problem and my machine would only go into sleep mode after I had finished watching a movie.

I can't connect my mac to my TV with HDMI now that i have mountain lion
can someone please help me with this problem. My TV keeps reading no signal. I have tried changing ports on the tv but i keep getting the same message. I didnt have this problem before i downloaded mountain lion.
What are you getting on the TV? Are you getting a completely blank screen, or are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'? Or are you seeing the spiral galaxy desktop? If you go into System Preferences -> Displays then do you have an 'Arrangements' tab?

My dvd quit working after installing mountain lion
It was working fine before I installed Mountain Lion. It took the disk in and then ejected it. Now it acts like it is completely dead - like something just turned it off. I've never used the drive that much. It's a mid to late 2010 aluminum iMac.
Tried alot of things, but it finally started working after resetting the SMC controller - go figure...

Links in some of the websites I use no longer work now that I downloaded the update
Some of the links in a site I use are no longer working now that I have done the software update.
Ie.. I use an online canteen programme to order lunch for my kids but now I can no longer use some of the websites links. I've contacted the company and they think its an iOS update issue and have stated its out of their control- how can I rectify this?Hi meechgals,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I know it must be frustrating when a website that you normally use is no longer working the way you would expect. The first thing I would suggest looking at your cookies in Settings > Safari. Please reference the attached article for further information. The article goes up to iOS 7 but the settings are in the same place in iOS 8.

I want to know if I can use my IPhone 4 as an IPod Touch (without a SIM) when i buy my new IPhone 5. On the apple service site under "Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan" it says:
"1. Insert the SIM card from your new activated Iphone or the one you were previously used to activate the original Iphone
2. Connect the Iphone to Itunes on a computer connected to the Internet
Once Itunes activates the device, you're free to use the Iphone as if it were an IPod Touch
Note: It maybe necessary to repeat this process after updating or restoring the device"
Does this work now that it is running IOS 6.1.3? Is it as simple as it sounds? I want to make sure i can use it on WIFI when i get a new one.
PS I am not sure which Iphone 4 i have, I bought it through Bell Canada July 30th 2010Apple usually doesn't participate here, we're just users. Have you done a search for an app for Weather Emergency Alert in the app store? It certainly doesn't come built-in in the iphone.

I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?
I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?
