Trash sounds randomly stops working in Mountain Lion

I noticed that the trash sounds (putting a file in the trash, emptying the trash) will randomly stop working. A restart usually fixes this but at some point it will randomly stop working again.
Any solutions?

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go To Folder
Type or copy / paste: ~/Library/Preferences
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that made a difference...

Pkg's made by PackageMaker from Xcode4.2 stopped working after Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade!

We have some pkg's that used to install fine across Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
Those pkg's were made from PackageMaker that came with Xcode4.2.
Since last week's Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade, the pkg's preflight/postflight scripts stopped working
on Mountain Lion machines, but still work with Lion and Snow Leopard.
The current workaround we use is to produce the pkg using PackageMaker that comes from Xcode4.4 auxiliary tools.
These pkg's work fine on all mentioned OS X.
I think this should be either a bug in 10.8.1 upgrade or a change of policy.
Can someone reproduce and clarify?
Thanks!

You are not alone!!
Same problem with Plantronics.
I just bought their Audio 648 Stereo USB Headset and have exactly the same issue you mention at the outset:
Essentially, while my [Plantronics Audio 648] Headset is recognized in the list of devices in System Preferences > Sound, it doesn't do anything in terms of outputting or inputting audio
So Apple, what are you going to do?...
A lot of third party accessory manufacturers must be getting quite frustrated at the numer of complaints they get from Mac users, when it seems its the Mac OS which is to blame...

Sound randomly stops working in Windows 8

I have a new HP PC and the sound randomly stops working. When the sound stops, it stops in all applications: iTunes, Web Browser, etc.
PC DETAILS:
HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop
Windows 8 Pro
In Device Manager, under Sound, this is what I have:
- AVerMedia H334 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM
- Bluetooth Audio Device
- IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
I just set up this new pc this week and I have run all the windows and drivers updates so everything is up to date.
When I boot up the pc, the sound works fine for a while and then randomly stops working. For example, if I play music in iTunes 11, the latest version, it may play for 1 minute or it may play for 10 minutes and then it just randomly stops playing sound and the sound will not come back until I reboot and the same thing happens all over again.
I have searched this online and I found quite a few people posting similar sound issues with Windows 8, but I have not found a fix for this problem yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not understand that; if it's not installed, it cannot possibly be enabled.

Sound randomly stops working on Iphone 5c

The sound randomly will stop working. (ringers, audio, etc.) I have had this phone for one day.
Oddly enough, the same thing was going on with my iphone 5 which is a big reason I went and upgraded, now i am just very aggravated!
Anyone know what could be going on??

I have the same problem with my new 5c, seemingly carried over from when I upgraded from my old 3s that had the same problem - all sounds randomly stop working (although vibrate seems to still work) and then randomly start working again.
When you set up your new phone did you 'restore' from your old phone's back-up or set it up completely like a new phone? I did the former so I assume whatever the 'glitch' is, it may be something to do with that.
I called 1-800-MYIPHONE and was advised to do a hard reset - I questioned the point of that when I effectively started from scratch with my new phone only a few weeks ago (well, when I say from scratch I of course mean I 'restored' from my old phone's back-up so that all my stuff would carry over...), plus given the coincidence of having the same problem on my old phone... Next guidance was to restore the phone to factory settings and start over from 'new phone' status, which I did this afternoon... so far so good but we shall see. Here's a link to the guide on how to do it if you want to give it a whirl:

IMac SuperDrive stopped working with Mountain Lion 10.8.2

HELP! My IMac was patched last yesterday and the SuperDrive has stopped working. The drive is empty but I cannot insert a CD into it.
Should I have to await another patch from Apple? Can someone recommend another solution I can use today?

Media:          To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose File > Refresh Information
Thanks

@BDAqua, Thank you for taking the time to respond.
When I insert a disc into the drive, the drive does not load it. Until yesterday, before the latest patch was applied, the drive used to sense that a disc was being inserted, it would automatically draw it in and load it.
Brian at Apple Support led me through the PRAM reset and also a filesystem check but neither of them resolved the issue. I guess I am now faced with two possible options
a) reinstall Mountain Lion from scratch (reminds me of the days when I was using Windows, never expected to get into a similar situation with a Mac!), or
b) there is a hardware failure, coincident with the patches applied yesterday
Are there any other options?
Thanks

Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
Any clues?

Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout. Open Terminal and type:
killall Dock
This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
Cheers
Phil

2010 Mini superdrive has stopped working after Mountain Lion update - anyone else?

After updating to 10.8 the superdrive on my 2010 mini has completely stopped working. It will not accept any disks. Disk Utility sees the drive as a working drive. Anyone else having this issue? If yes and you've resolved it, how??

Same thing happened to me with Mountain Lion. It seems that at the moment there's no solution. I've tried to burn a DVD with Toast Titanium, iDVD and the SimplyBurn. All of them failed.
It's a shame that Apple did this because we pay for a computer with a drive that could burn DVD discs. I´m very, very disappointed with Apple!

"Licensing Has Stopped Working" with Mountain Lion & PS Elements

After installing Mountain Lion Photoshop Elements will not open. IT produces a dialog box that says "Licensing has stopped working - ERROR 6 " Restarting the computer is no help.
How do I reenter my license - and WHY am I having to do this?

Jeff,
That link calls for deletion of the "FlexNet Publisher" file in the HardDrive>>Library>>Preferences folder. No such file exists in that folder on my 10.8 machine.
It also calls for downloading and opening the LicenseRecovery111.zip file. I have done that and insise the LicenseRecovery Folder ran the LicenseRecover application. That app opens but appears to be non-responsive.
Any other avenues?

Why has Mail stopped working in Mountain Lion?

I installed Mountain Lion and Mail was working. 2 days later Mail stopped. No longer getting IMAP messages via Gmail. No account listed for RSS feeds. ISO a down to earth manual for using new OS 10.8.

Question resolved by time. Must have been some sort of system glitch. All working fine now with no action on my part.

My sound randomly stopped working on my ipad how do i fix it?, my sound randomly stopped working on my ipad how do i fix it?

well my sound randomly one day stopped working how do i fix it so my sound will be ok again?

I would start by checking the mute button on the side of the iPad to make sure that this has not accidentally gotten switched. Then go into settings> general>sounds and make sure that everything is on, etc.
It would be helpful to know if the sound isn't working constantly and for every purpose or only in certain circumstances.

Applescript stopped working after Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi after upgrading to Mountain Lion (ML) the applescript that I use to reply to certain emails has stoped working on incoming emails. I have the script in the "new" correct folder. The funny thing is that the script works when you "apply rules" from the messages dropdown menu.

This is the script:
using terms from application "Mail"
          on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
--tell application "Mail"
                    repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
--set theContent to content of eachMessage
                              set emailFrom to extract address from sender of eachMessage
                              try
--set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"(", ")"}
--set contentParts to (every text item in theContent) as list
--set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
--set emailOnly to item 2 of contentParts
--set recipientAddress to emailOnly
                                        set recipientAddress to emailFrom

Airdrop stopped working in Mountain Lion when installed Airport Extreme

Afternoon all from a damp and windy Scotland.
Until last week I used Airdrop to transfer photos from my mid 2012 MBP to my wife's 2010 Macbook both with Mountain Lion with no problems and great speed.
Now we cannot. Neither Mac seems to notify the other that there is anything being sent.
Last week brought two changes and I can't work out which is most likely. Firstly the update to 10.8.2 which both have. Secondly I installed a refurb 5th generation Airport Extreme. All other services, including wireless TM backups, seem to be working as expected.
Any ideas? Thanks.

SD reader on macbook pro retina stopped working after mountain lion upgrade

I tried to use the SD reader on my new MacBook Pro Retina tonight and I can insert the SD card and the mac does not see it. It worked prior to my upgrading to mountain lion. Any ideas?

I also have a Mac Pro Retina and have the exact same problem after upgrading. I will say that despite the SD card not showing up on my desktop or in the finder window, I am able to import to Lightroom 4 with no problems and I get an error message when i withdraw it, asking me to "EJECT IT PROPERLY". APPLE! Please help us.

Back to my mac screen sharing no longer works since Mountain Lion release, even on Lion

I've used screen sharing via iCloud and back to my mac between a 2007 macbook and a 2010 imac. Both computers are still on Lion but screen sharing stopped working when Mountain Lion was released. I've read a number of comments on this forum that people were having trouble since upgrading to Mountain Lion, but I don't think that's the problem b/c I haven't upgraded either machine. I think the problem is something Apple did in preparation for the Mountain Lion release date and it seems to have damaged screen sharing functionality. Anybody else experiencing this or have a fix for it.
As for the specifics, I can still see my "other" machine under shared and can click "share screen," it usually searches for a couple minutes, then pops up the password dialogue box, but then searches for a while and eventually the password box closes, "screen sharing" stays open, but there are no windows associated with it.

I have the same problem, just today (although I'm still running 10.6.8). Every morning I turn on my main Logic mac then fire up my 2 slave macs, connect to them, activate Screen Sharing, and get going.
This morning I tried it, connected to the other macs as usual (I can see/access/alter their hard drives from my main mac) but when I click "Share Screen" I just get the "connecting" dialog box & it just keeps going.
The weird thing is, when I put my laptop into the network via wifi, I can screenshare my main mac's screen (all 3 of them, actually!) but not my 2 slave macs that are ethernet'd to the main mac.
I've tried every solution I could find via google, and nothing is working.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.
