Surley, there must be a way to change/alter/modify my powerbook G4 to install Mountain Lion.
Any Ideas on how to install Mountain Lion on a 2007 PowerBook G4? What modifications if any can be made? This is such a fine machine I hate to get rid of it. PS I am not a geek but I am willing to try something.
My wife has a new Mac Book Pro and I don't like it.
The PowerBook G4 is a fine machine. One of Apple's best. I know because I loved mine very much.
But that means I also know how it feels to move up to an Intel Mac. And the fact is, any Intel Mac is much faster than a PowerBook G4 which is a decade old now. As much as I loved my PowerBook G4, once I used an Intel Mac, the G4 felt slow and awful. Even if you could install Mountain Lion, it relies so much on the power of current technologies, processors, and graphics that it would probably be a horrible experience on a G4 because the G4 would not have the power to run ML at the speed for which it was designed.
Why is it that you don't like the MacBook Pro? Is it the screen? When I moved from the PowerBook G4 to the MacBook Pro I ordered the anti-glare matte high-resolution screen. This gives me a matte screen with a metal bezel, which I greatly prefer to the glossy screen on shiny black bezel of the standard MacBook Pro. In all other respects (except the black keyboard keys) this MacBook Pro looks and feels like my PowerBook G4, only many times faster.

Surley there must be a way....
i would be on the express board but its not working!
.....so that when you move a block of midi or audio it automatically dosent move the automation data, then when you want it to move the automation data you just hold down a key or something?
thanksTo move automation data separately from moving a region you shift - drag a box around the automation nodes you want to move. They will be highlighted white.
Now, with alt pressed down drag on the highlighted nodes and place them where desired.
If you have a lot of automation data on a region that you want to copy: Go to Logic>preferences>automation. There is an option under ""Move automation with regions". You can set that to "never", "always" or "ask".
Another thing to be aware of is hyperdraw... that's specifically a more region based automation system in Logic. Look it up in the Logic reference - that a lot to it!
Hope that helps

How do I delete dozens of messages from the same sender at the time. There must be a way. Thank you.
I have not been able to check my messages for a couple of weeks. I now find myself with 315 messages, many from same sender. I want to delete most, but don't know how. There must be a way to delete all messages from same sender as many of mine are. Please help. Life is way to short and precious than to accomplish this task deleting them one at a time. Thank you so very much for your help.
Hey leeann316,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to select multiple messages in the Mail application. Once selected, you can then delete the messages:
Work with multiple messages - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph9db03b2f5
Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
If you are looking for an even faster method, you might want to visit your email account from a web client (on your computer), and select all of the message in your inbox for deletion. If you require assistance doing so, please consult your email service provider for more information.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?
Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.

Keypad Lock: RU kidding? There must be a way. ???
Hello All. I spent a couple of days with my new Tour 8630 (Verizion), and have some questions. Here's my first Q: Is it possible to lock the keypad in such a way that an accidental bump of any of the exposed keys/buttons does not turn the display on?
The "Lock" button on the top left is useless in this regard. Sure, the buttons become dysfunctional, but if any are pressed, the display lights up to present the message "Keypad is locked. Press the lock button to unlock." Of course, each time this occurs the battery drains a little more. With repeated, unintentional button presses, the device soon dies for lack of battery charge.
Just like thousands of users out there, I toss my BB device into jacket pockets, book bags, back packs, etc. I do not use a holster. The device buttons are routinely pressed without my knowledge, thus draining the battery. There must be a way to avoid this. ???
BBkroozrNo, there is not a way to avoid this.
It is intentional that when a key or button is pressed, the screen lights. It must work that way.
So, if you pressed a key or button on the locked the device and the device did NOT respond -- that would be bad. The users would be franticly trying to revive dead devices.
How is the device to know the difference between your key scraping against and pushing a button in your pocket, vs. that of your finger intentionally waking it up?

I could cry right now. After decades of being an Apple fan, something is happening for the worse and issues with every Apple product I own 2 iphones, 2 iMacs, 15" Macbook Pro, and iPad Mini (no issues here, just slow connecting to App Store and can never seem to download updates) has left me disenchanted. I do have a question about Mountain Lion but just airing out grievances.
Ok, to the point. I have the new 27" iMac that was just released. Was delivered and opened the box, turned it on, and there was a flashing folder icon. No OS, wonderful. I live in Brooklyn and not trying to lug a 27" computer onto the train nor should I have to pay for a cab to resolve this. Anyway, I tried to go into Recovery but it started doing an Internet Recovery with a download time of 9 hours. Um, no thanks. So I downloaded the latest version of Mountain Lion from the App store on my old iMac and made a boot disk onto an external via Apples instructions. Plugged it into new iMac lemon, go into recovery mode, see the bootable drive, click on it to reinstall and it gives me a crossed out circle icon and shuts down.
What am I doing wrong? I have pretty decent broadband and did start the internet recovery process now until I find a better solution online. After 5 hours, Internet recovery finished and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion to which it's asking me to download the OS again and with a 13 hour download time!!!! What's going on here? What was the purpose of internet recovery taking 5 hours only to download it again at another 13 hours???
Question is, is there something I should be doing differently? Is there a way to install Mountain Lion from a bootable disk? This is mind blowingly the dumbest thing I've encountered with Apple. Got a problem with your OS? No problem, just download a 4.4GB file every incident.
Thank you.You can't grab a installer from another Mac and expect it to run. The newer Macs have newer hardware which requires special drivers. If the version that boots the iMac is a special build, it won't work any other way than Internet Recovery.
If it was me, I'd take it right back. You have no idea if the OS is just corrupted, the hard drive is dead, or what. I wouldn't take my chances with it. -
Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error. I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail. After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error. However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution. I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop. So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x. The install then went off without a hitch. I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.
In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software. -
I have my complete computer using Lion backed up on the time machine. Then I installed Mountain lion. I do not like it at all. Is there a way I can remove ML and put my old Lion system back pin my computer?
If you have got a backup, press Command and R keys in boot and restore an old backup. You can install Snow Leopard and upgrade to Lion if you haven't got the backup
-
I just downloaded and installed mountain lion but it kept snow leopard on my screen is that supposed to happen or did i miss something?
Then you're good to go. Updating your OS doesnt change your desktop background, you can do that manually, if you wish.

Is there a plug in to make my 2007 macbook pro able to install Mountain Lion

No. The architechture is too old. I think Lion will be as far as you can go, as a guess without knowing your specs. But if the machine cannot run Mountain Lion then there is no way of doing it (short of replacing the mechanics which would be more expensive than buying a more up to date Mac)

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created—click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?
The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

Creating nodes straight under context dynamically
Hi, I need to build a dynamic amount of tables dynamically. They all have the same buildup (same columns) but their data is different. I wanted to solve this by creating nodes under the context dynamically and manually binding them to created tables.
