Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

ATV2 Home Sharing Drops Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

I've found some stuff close to my issue, but really nothing addressing my issue. I have 3 Apple TV 2's. When running my 27" Mac on Lion, everything streamed wonderfully. I have a BIG router capable of handling movie streaming, so the network should NOT be the problem. After installing Mountain Lion, all three of my Apple TV's have been getting dropped from Home Sharing during the middle of a media stream. It happens with regularity with music and movies. Even Netfilx streams drop because Home Sharing drops out. The only way to fix it thus far is to disconnect and re-connect Home Sharing at the 27" Mac, where the streams originate. I'm certain this problem is due to the Mountain Lion upgrade. Is there a fix or do I need to wait for Apple to push something out to us?

For anyone else having the "white screen" issue with youtube, and/or yahoo issue. I seemed to have repaired the issue. I turned the parental controls off for both of my kids accounts, restarted my Mac, and the problem vanished.
I also turned the parental controls back on after this, restarted the computer, and the problem came back.
*** This is 100% a Parental Control/Mountain Lion glitch. Hopefully Apple knows and is working on a solution. The sooner they fix it, the sooner I can turn the parental controls back onto my kids accounts.

Facebook-Problem in Mountain Lion

The Facebook-button in Notification Center doesn't work at all. Twitter is working fine but Facebook doesn't work. If I push the Post-button nothing happens. It's the same when I use the share-button in Safari: Twitter works, Facebook doesn't do anything. The window to write the Facebook-message doesn't appear.
I already deleted my Facebook-account in Mountain Lion's system preferences and put it back in but that wasn't any help. Does anybody know a solution??

I know the ans...first install os x mountain lion again above all your installation..then see the build it should be.. (12c60) then..update every thing..but dont install or update..."update for macbook pro and macbook air 2.0 "it is the culprit ...then hide that update..and remember to install offline version of combo and supplement update 10.8.2..ok..as sometimes when ur notification cetre not work then installoffline "combo and supp" updates...ok..REMEMBER NOT TO INSTALL MACBOOK AIR AND MACBOOK PRO 2.0 UPDATE...PLZ...AND USE UR SYSTEM...!! follow me https://www.twitter.com/ankit8083 https://www.facebook.com/ankit8083...good luck..DONT CHANGE UR BUILD..AS IF U WILL CHANGE IT THEN UR SHARE BUTTON WILL NOT WORK..IN NEW BUILD..!!And wait for apple to get new build after april 2013...but not download macbook pro and macbook air 2.0 update..which help in graphical improvements and some usb devices...!!

Problems with iMac since Mountain Lion upgrade

So , several problems that I have experienced since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
1. When I "log off" off my iMac from the top left "apple" symbol, I get the rainbow wheel of death.
2. When accessing YouTube home screen or yahoo in Safari, the page is a white screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
* I have been reading some people saying that this happens to them too, but only when using an account with parental controls.
3. Hard drive "grinds" incessantly.
* I have never even seen the rainbow wheel or heard my hard drive grind on my iMac untill this upgrade.
Anybody know of any solutions, or also having these issues?

DNS problem after Mountain Lion upgrade

Yesterday, I upgraded my Lion to Mountain Lion and after that I can't connect to websites or make use of services that use DNS. I've tried the regular 'solutions' that were posted in forums, but nothing has worked for me so far. Things I've tried:
- Change MTU to 1300
- Shut down Wifi and restart it
- Reboot computer on several occasions
- Change DNS servers
- Remove Wifi network adapter and add a completely new profile
- Flush DNS cache with the both the old command (pre-Lion) and the new command (post-Lion)
- Install Mountain Lion again (after that, my sound doesn't work anymore either)
- Stop mDNSResponder via Launchctl and start it again
The only things I can think of next is to connect via LAN, connect via a different network or a complete clean install of Mountain Lion and see if that works.
Symptoms:
- Cannot connect to websites and services via URL
- CAN connect to websites using their IP-addresses
- Hence, Skype works as it connects using IP-addresses
- Can use SSH
- Have excellent connection within my own network at home (SSH, AFP file server, router web interface)
Config:
Late 2007 MBP 17"
No VPN's
No proxies
Does anybody have any ideas what I can do to alleviate this problem or know of anybody else that has the same problem?

Tried with different WAP and they all work fine except the one I have at home. Seems to be a problem between the new Mountain Lion drivers of my Airport card MBP model A1229 and the ZTE H220N wireless router.

SSD users problems post Mountain Lion upgrade?

HI folks. I've had nothing but major problems with installing and booting since I upgraded my Mac to Mountain Lion. I had no problems with Lion. I do have an SSD installed and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Anyone? Thanks.

Hello All...
I just wanted to give you my expeience with my SSD. Im hoping this helps someone out there.
I have a macbookpro5,4 - mid 2009 2.53 GHZ 15" macbook pro running lion. I purchased a 512 SSD from crucial and 2 x 4 GB ram modules.
I installed both and all worked great (I used a time machine backup to restore the SSD), up to the point where I put the computer to sleep either by closing the lid, via the power button, or via the apple menu. When I tried to log in from sleep it would give me the beach ball and it wouldnt go away.
So heres what I did:
1. I put my old hard drive in and everything worked fine but not as fast as ssd
2. I put the SSD back in and the sleep issue came back
3. Upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion (issue still there)
4. I downgraded the firmware to 1.6 (issue still came back)
5. Upgraded firmware back to 1.7 (issue still there)
6. Disabled "put hard drive to sleep when possible) (System Preferences -> Energy Saver) - (issue still there - though i kept this disabled)
7. Disabled "allow bluetooth to wake up this computer" (System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Advanced) - (issue still there) - I renabled it after
8. Saw a post to replace the hard drive cable bracket Apple part: 922-9314 (i purchased on ebay)
9. Found a program called insominaX - enables you to prevent your computer from going to sleep by closing the lid. THIS WORKED for me as a bypass solution but not as a real solution as the computer is still on when i travelled from one location to the next.
I emailed crucial and now i was contemplating wiping out the hard drive and starting from scratch and reinstalling everything.
And the final solution (for me anyways):
10. I Reset the SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964. And everything worked.
I went back to disable the insomniaX and everything still worked. I did a sleep via apple, closing lid, and power button. And still all good.
11. I requested a refund for the hard drive cable bracket. And the seller just refunded for me.
Best of luck to everyone out there...I hope you dont have to spend as much time as myself to solve this issue.

Alias Previews Gone since Mountain Lion upgrade

In my dock, I have a Shortcuts folder, where all my aliases are (mainly for commonly used Word, Excel, Numbers, Pages and PDF documents). In Lion, these aliases displayed thumbnail preview images of the actual documents. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, these previews have disapeared - all I get are standard, generic icons.
I get the feeling there's a checkbox I need to be ticking somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone got any ideas?

Here it is October of 2013, and I'm having a similar problem. I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.5, I just upgraded a month or so ago.
I don't know about aliases showing generic icons, but if I try to open a file via the alias from Excel for Mac 2011, I get the message, "Excel cannot open this file. The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
I've tried with leaves " alias" at the end of the extension, I've tried after removing the " alias".
I've tried using aliases that were created prior to upgrading, and I've tried using newly created aliases.
This is true for Word documents, also.
It's also true when I try to upload to Google Drive. It can't recognize the file when I upload from an alias. This used to work just fine.
I'll keep searching for an answer, but I've been looking for awhile now and this is the first information I've found that comes close to my problem.
Thanks so much for any help!
Brenda
eta: I forgot to mention that if I double click on the alias file within the Finder, it'll open up just fine in the appropriate app.

'open with' crashes since Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help as I'm going out of my mind here, when I use CTRL+click on an image and highlight 'open with' it doesn't load the menu with the relevant applications and just crashes, removing everything from my desktop briefly and then returning. It happens every time without fail, I can CTRL+click documents and be offered Text Edit, Pages etc as normal, it seems to only be images. I would usually use either preview or Photoshop CS4 but I dare say there were 4 or 5 things usually in that menu, I can't remember now.
Anyone got any ideas? I've tried following suggestions from a similar problem on this forum but to no avail.
This has only happened since I upgraded to Mountain Lion and I should also point out I'm suffering from other problems like sluggish wake up and flashing bright white light from the entire screen upon wake up!
Thanks in advance.

That sounds like LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know
Or, use the free utiltiy OnyX to do the same via gui
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx (for 10.8)
But the other issues sound more serious.
EDIT: You could do a re-install of ML. You can unstall "in place" so none of your data or apps are effected. or you could consider running with Display Sleep only. Very little additional power consumed. But probably not on an Air.

Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
Hoping someone can help
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

Imac freezes since mountain lion upgrade, i set to never sleep and then it is ok. any ideas what is going on?

This may be the same issue as some other discussions but I have a few different circumstances. I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and all seemed to be ok. Then I got an upgrade notice for Itunes last week and installed the update. Since then My mac started freezing after coming out of sleep mode. The mouse was active but when i selected programs from the dock the icons would just bounce and nothing would open.The only way to revive it was to do a restart with the power button. Then the system would be fine until it went into sleep mode .After reading through several disussions it seems many people are having similar issues with very few fixes to the problem. I am not very savvy on mac O/S so I am in the dark as to where to begin to troubleshoot this problem. Since the freeze ups always occur after coming out of sleep mode I set my computer to never sleep which has worked to stop the freezing but I am not sure how good it is for my system to be running all the time. I would appreciate any input on this problem. My Imac is a 2008 intel with 3 gig ram

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. 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. 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 the test.

Ipad SONOS app not connecting since Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to mountain lion, my sonos system only works from the SONOS application on the mac mini connected to the router to which a SONOS Bridge is hooked, via LAN. All my other SONOS apps (either ipad or macbook air) cannot connect to the SONOS bridge, even after resetting them.
I also had an issue with screensharing between the mac mini and the macbook air (both on Mountain Lion), since upgrading, which was resolved thanks to this forum... and was hoping resolving this would have resolved the SONOS issue as well... not the case.
So anyone with an idea what to do would be welcome! Happy to provide any other information that would be needed to help me out!
Sebastien
P.S. I assume the SONOS system is not the issue, all SONOS apps and firmware are updated to the latest versions, and as mentioned above, I can control the SONOS equipment via the mac mini app... but just that one.

Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.
