Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot restore emails with time machine. In Lion TM created a folder in Mail called recovered emails(or similar) No such folder is created since ML. I am able to see the email I want to restore, but it then disappears

I am inside Mail, waiting for the TM 'recovered mail' folder to appear - which it doen't.
I only looked in my home folder after trying several times from within my Main app.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my signatures for Mail are gone!

I go to Preferences and they are no longer listed there. Help!

If you have a pre-upgrade backup of your files, try restoring the following items in your home folder:
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures
Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures.plist

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and on going back into Mail all my Mailboxes have disappeared, how do I get them back?

Help with Mountain Lion and Mail

Hi Anitra,
Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library.

Cannot back up with Time Machine/Capsule after new drive installed in MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.8.5.
I just had a larger hard drive installed by Tekserve. This is to be my first back up since installing the new drive. I have 2 back ups: one to my Time Capsule via WiFi, the other to an external Le Cie via USB.
Time Machine just gives me preparing to backup but goes no further, just stuck in that mode. I suspect that it can't find my old drive, which it backed up till now. But I cannot find a way to correct this possible snafu. I do not see an option in Preferences.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Just so we are clear.. were your files all recovered from backup after the install of the disk?? Did you supply one of the backups to the company who did the installation so they could do the recovery?
You do want to be careful not to damage the old backup.. it might really be better to start over a clean new backup.
TM should be reset. It sounds like they did recover your settings.. Please check Pondini here.
A4 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Also use A1 to check what the log is saying about TM.. the old backup will need to be fully indexed and checked if you intend to keep using it.. and that will take several hours to the TC if you use wireless.. The problem people expect fast starts but that is not possible unless you are doing a new backup.
You can also check some of the other help files there eg D1 long preparing for why that happens.

I upgraded to mountain lion and created a new password. I cannot access pages which I purchased using my old id and password. what do I do?

My hard drive crashed and I took it in to an Apple store. It was fixed and all data was erased including the program pages which I purchased. I created a new user name and password. Is there any way to recover Pages or do I have to purchase it again?

Apps can only be reinstalled for free using the same Apple ID they were originally associated with.
You need to re purchase Pages using the new Apple ID and password.

"not available for FaceTime" error after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Mac Mini and have had no problems receiving FaceTime calls on any of these devices until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now everytime someone tries to call me on FaceTime they get an error that I'm not available. I can call them just fine.
Using my wife's iPhone I tried to debug the issue and found that after I toggle FaceTime off then back on using the Mac mini that I could receive a faceTime call. However, after a few days I am no longer able to receive a call.
Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix?
Thanks!
David

Thanks, but this didn't work for me. I did a fresh install, so there was no subfolder in my Barnes and Noble folder.
I tried the second suggestion from NA Smith too, but that didn't work either.
I had this problem last year on my imac, and I gave up on Barnes and Noble. But I had one book I wanted to access (a diet book), and tried again on my new Macbook Pro.... same frustrating thing, even after all this time - shame on B&N!!!
So, I bought the one book again, this time at Amazon. I feel sorry for anyone who has bought many ebooks from B&N - they are definitely not even trying to be serious about their software - I assume the have a couple high-school kids working part time (?).

I have Snow Leopard, But I cant upgrade to Mountain Lion, can I upgrade to Lion?

I have an old MacBook, from 2006 and currently have Snow Leopard installed (after purchasing it in 2010), I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion mainly because I want the Xcode 4 which looks 100% better than the current Xcode I have. However, when I try to buy the OS X Mountain Lion it tells me I do not have the correct processor. After a little research I saw an article that said some OS X Lion users could not upgrade to Mountain Lion because Mac is no longer supporting its older models like MacBooks before 2008 or something like that.
So this lead me to the idea maybe I don't have to upgrade to Mountain Lion, maybe I could upgrade to Lion and still be able to get Xcode 4. So, I tried to find a way to upgrade to OS X Lion, but I could only find the upgrade to Mountain Lion. Which is frustrating because I don't want to buy a brand new MacBook just to get Xcode 4, its nice, but not that nice. But Apple should allow me to at least upgrade to Lion, because they decided to no-longer support this older hardware I am still using.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; Lion requires a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. You don't need to buy a brand new Mac in any case.

MacPro usb very slow after upgrading to mountain lion

When backing up with Carbon Copy to an external USB drive very slow, eventually the system freezes. After upgrading to Mountain Lion its been a complete pain when trying to do back-ups. Does Apple have a USB software fix for this?

Disconnect the external drive and see whether there's an improvement.

Why is the screen in my liquify page blank/white? I used to be able to see the picture

Why is the screen in my liquify page blank/white? I used to be able to see the picture I was working on but now it just shows a white page... I have photoshop CS4. How do I fix it?

are you zoomed in too far to see that part of the layer that has content? Does the layer you have selected definitely have content? Try using Ctrl/Cmd 0 to zoom back to fit to screen.

My Blu Ray drive in the lower bay is sometimes not recognized since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I have a Mac Pro (2.6 GHz Quad Core Xeon, 6 Gb RAM) that I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. In the top optical drive bay I have the Apple super drive that came with the machine. In the lower bay I added a Pioneer Blu Ray burner. Since upgrading to 10.8, sometimes the Blu Ray drive is not recognized. I discovered this morning that a restart doesn't solve the problem...I have to completely shut down, then restart, and then the drive will appear.

You paid for a license to use Mountain Lion & that license is forever tied to YOUR Apple ID. You cannot distribute Mountain Lion in any way shape or form. If you were to sell your computer, with Mountain Lion installed, as I've already provided, the new owner will never be able to update or restore OS X, should the need arise. You will have sold the new owner a huge bag of hurt.
Good luck.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects the reply to address.

Ok, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects just my main business email account, even if the email was sent to a completely different persoanl address. This use to work without issue in Lion. I have at least a half dozen accounts that all come into the "Global Inbox" and I never worried about what account I was replying from as it always matched the account the email was originally sent to.
Now in Mountain Lion, this is broken and no matter what email I select it defaults to my main account and I have to remember to manually select the proper reply address from the drop down menu. So far the only way to avoid this is the keep all the separate account Inboxes showing and then selecting the account that I want to view. Then when I repy it is to the correct address, but having to do this makes the "Global Inbox" view completely worthless! If I have to select teh correct Inbox to get the proper reply address every time then what is the point of having a Global View?
Why did you break this Apple?

Hello,
When you compose a message right click on the attachement and choose "View as Icon".
I know there was a Terminal command to set all attachements as icons by default but never tried it :
- You can also use the Terminal (in your Applications folder > Utilities) quit Mail, and type in the Terminal :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean yes
- To restore the original settings type :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean no
(source)
Hope this will help.

Email not readable since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am not able to read my email in the upgraded version of Mail. All my emails ON MY MAC are readable as normal, but my Inbox emails are there and I can read the single line information (From, Subject, Date Received, Mailbox) for all my emails but when I try and open one I get the revolving spindle wheel and Loading message. My sent box appears empty unless I send a test email and then all my sent emails appear but again when I try and open one all I get is the same as for my inbox emails. If I quit and reopen Mail, the inbox does not change but all my sent emails "disappear" again. Is this an indexing problem or do I need to rebuild my mailboxes. Although I have back ups, I do not want to take any action to make this situation worse. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
Any ideas ?

This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!
