Superdrive after mountain lion

After installing Mointain lion I cannot see my Superdrive nor get any DVD or CD to play/load on my computer. Coincidence my superdrive seems to have failed or is this happening with the Mountain lion upgrade?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

My superdrive after Mountain Lion always opens a burned cd as a blank cd.

after installed mountain lion, my superdrive (MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868), doesnt recognise some burned cd like it did it before... always open the blank cd dialog.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I HOPE !!
Rather than visit a Genius Bar, I opted to buy an inexpensive (<$40) external USB-connected CD/DVD reader/burner (Samsung SE-208AB). I discovered that it too exhibited the same problem whereby DVDs and CDs burned in the Finder failed verification almost as soon as it began. Even though the burned discs appeared OK in that the files/music/movies were as they should be.
In addition to all the steps taken above, I also used the Recovery Disk to re-install a copy of Mountain Lion in case something was messed up. To no avail, the problem persisted.
After much more searching I discovered a tip that I had not tried. Someone had found that deleting the Finder preference file resolved their problem, in 2008 no less. So with nothing to loose, I deleted the Finder preference file, restarted and burned 3 discs flawlessly. Attached below is a screen shot from the Console app (in the Utilities folder) showing the most recent disc burning tasks including the intial one that failed verification. The highlighted text is my inserted note and not from the Console app. Interstingly it apperas as if iTunes does not perform a disc verify after a burn as the verify task is absent from the Console log.
The Finder preference files can be found at User/Library/Preferences/...
Of note is that none of these discs will work in the internal Superdrive and so I must assume that the internal Superdrive is offcially busted and must have failed coincidentally with my upgrading to Mountain Lion.

Slow internet after mountain lion download

web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service. At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine. I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed? Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet. This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion. Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
Please, help me.

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works! ;-)

Macbook sluggush / freezes after Mountain Lion

I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in late Fall of 2010.
I've read several posts on here about computers locking up after Mountain Lion upgrade. But most of those issues involved the computer completely locking up. In my case I get the spinning wheel of death, but the trackpad is still responsive. I can "Force Quit" the open programs (usually) but it is very sluggish. It boots slow and shuts down really slowly. The sluggishness is intermitent thought and I can't put my finger on what is happening. It reminds me of my old PC days when you would get a virus.
Can you point me in the right direction for diagnosis that I can run myself?
Or do I need to head to the Genius bar?
What has changed in my usage lately?
Essentailly the same type of usage since I purchased the machine. Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, Chrome, Safari and Mail.
I recently "upgraded" to Mountain Lion from the app store a few days after it became available.
To my knowledge, all updates have been installed.
My Macbook has been running really hot (too hot to sit directly on your lap when wearing shots). This happened prior to my upgrade and I took it to the Apple store and they essentially told me not to worry about it. They ran some tests and said things looked fine.
Thanks!

Problem with mail after mountain lion install

Mail has become sluggish to locking up after Mountain Lion install. I get the color wheel each time I start typing in an address to send an email. I also get the wheel when i am typing an address or name in any web page in Safari. Is this a Mail Problem or an Address Book problem?

It sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned up. Have your repaired permissions or cleared caches since you got the computer. Often times when upgrading operating systems permissions get screwed up and it causes issues. Go to disk utility in your "other" folder in applications. Select disk utility, then on the left hand side choose Mac HD then click REPAIR permissions in the center section. Wait for it to finish, restart your computer, then test.

After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook

After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook. Any idea why this might be.

I'd keep them in folders - in your user account section, then just link to the folder with an alias and not keep the actual files and folders out on or in Desktop Finder area.
There is method to madness underneath, most things can be found from top level
