TS1398 OSX mountain lion wont see or join a configured NON-Broadcasting Wifi Network
My company bought me a new Mac to replace my windows PC.
The company I support uses a Non-Broadcasting Wifi network for non-guests. I have duplicated that signature at home. I have no issues connecting my pc laptop to a non-broadcasting wifi network. There is no security and I have validated that I am typing the SSID in correctly. I installed iStumbler and it sees the correct Wifi initially but won't find it again unless I quit and restart the application.
I have done some initial searching on Mac OSX and Non Broadcasting WiFi with mixed results. Please point me to any repeatable solutions for this delima. Thank you.

Photosmart 5520 on OSX mountain lion wont print via wifi
set this up several times, having 'reset printers' etc etc, but it just will not print via wifi - just get a message saying printer is busy.
it works ok via usb cable - and it even works via wifi when printing a test page in utlities!
totally stumped.As much as I aware from my personal experience I came accross this model where a talk talk representiv has confirmed that the HG533does not support Bonjour.. I suggest checking that with talk talk.
You may try a temporary direct connection without using the router and check for any change, I believe that will work what means that the router break the connection.
To test such a connection follow step one below to enable wireless direct for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03269394&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5157536&tmp...
Next click the Wi-Fi icon, select Join other network and select Show Networks.
Select and connect to the Wireless Direct name.
Under Print and scan click the Plus sign, try adding the printer and check for any difference.
Once done testing reconnect the devices to your router..
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Have Apple Mac put something in their computers to stop me connecting my AOC N19WB monitor to my Mac Book? (Thats silly of course not!) because their own monitors are on average around £ 800.00 each and people like me have to save a long time just to buy the MacBook and cant afford a Mac monotor as well (not for a long time anyway). Please Apple i only bought this brand new Mac Book 13 (OSX Mountain Lion) because i want to run Logic 9 without problems. If i cant even get it to work with my monitor it doesnt instill me with confidence.
Anyway guys, I have bought the right lead followed all the instructions but when i get to 'dispay' via preferences i dont see the same window that i am looking at on a range of forums and/or utube demonstrations. My window shows 2 options - 'Colour and 'Display'. All others that i have seen in addition show 'Arrangements'. Which i guess is the one that gives you the options as to which extenal monitor you wish to use. Other people have said that you just plug it in and the MacBook finds it for you (not on this machine)! Monitor just displays 'NO SIGNAL' and MaBook 'NO DEVICE DETECTED'.
Please is there any advise out there for me?
Yours Desperately
GrahamHi, your post has been more helpful to me than Telstra's tech. support.
I have installed the generic manager and my 885 modem is now recognised and it appears to connect however there are no ip addresses listed under network preferences. You mention a driver. Is this something else I need to install? Do you have a link? Do I need to manually enter network settings? I should add that I am using Lion 10.7.3 Many thanks for your time -

Please help.Hi Nuneeto,
Please login to www.creative.adobe.com go to tab 'download center'.
You will see an app named 'Creative Cloud' download and then install it.
If you still get the same problem I would suggest you to try a different browser like chrome or firefox etc.

Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.
I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

Extend a network in osx mountain lion
I've just upgrade to osx mountain lion. Apple care rep advises that with new os - once all my airports are reset - that mountain lion automatically "joins" and "extends" a wireless network. I notice no increased extension to the network.
Hello ben santa fe,
Nothing has really changed from Lion to Mountain Lion on the topic of "Extending". Same AirPort products, same AirPort Utility. Same software.
The "Extend" feature remains as it always has....a hub and spoke affair.
A "main" AirPort creates the network and various AirPorts can "extend" the signal, but all of the remotes communicate to the main AirPort...regardless of their location in relation to other remotes.
Not sure what you were hoping to see in the form of "increased extension" to the network. Can you clarify on that? -
for some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?
Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...
Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes. -
Can somebody please advise urgently...
I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion.
I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted the folder off my desktop - and following this - things started to go all weird...pages hanging, the coloured 'wheel of death' appeared for ages. So i had to employ a 'hard-boot' restart - as i had not other options.
I'm pretty sure i made copies of of files/apps/folders etc - however not so sure now as i cant even start up my laptop!!!
Can somebosy please help me urgently??!!!Got the exact same problem, and I also did this operation many times before, from 500Gb to 750Gb, and then from 750Gb to 1 Gb. Not My HD got a little such complaining about bad sectors when in windows bootcamp, but still runs fine though.
So I bought a new 1Gb drive exactly same drive as the one thats getting sick. I did the clone thing, with super duper, CCC, DU, but no matter it will not boot when i move the new drive inside the macbook…….**** thing exuse me, but wasted so much time.
Now I get this strange feeling that something must have changed in the macbook itself. Just wondering if this could be a EFI "mac bios" prevention thing, they made just to sell more new computers, when you can't improve or fix your old one.
If so, then its pretty scary. If not then I simply can't figure out why this suddenly becomes a problem for so many people, as I see so many posts about this!!

OSX Mountain Lion - piece of junk
OSX Mountain Lion is a pice of junk!
(and this is coming from a die-hard Apple enthusiast)
the system crashes, the promised quicker performance is at at the cost of stability of the system,
shame on you Apple!
I cannot even write a review using the reguler channels (from launchpad) because it crashes
(and believe me, restarted the system several times)
Lost data during systems forced restarts, this is costing me hours of work!
(automatic data restoration does not work, dociments do NOT get saved)
what a joke!
Give me back my Snow Leapoard,
wait, you can't!As Thomas says, may be an error during the installation, my advice is to re-install wat mountain lion, then download it from macc app store, create a key or a DVD boot:Want to make a Mountain Lion USB stick or SD Card Installer?- 9to5Mac
save the things you need, reformat and re-install.
also tries to use utility disk to verify and repair the disk and / errors (prior to the procedure that I outlined above.
or re-install snow leopard (next you have reformat ) and install mountain lion
from this address you can see the app compatible with mountain lion

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks
Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
RegardsThanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?

my friends mac book pro never got an upgrde that allowed her to have the app store on her dock, now I can't help her to upgrade to OSX mountain lion... any ideas on how to do this?? it's driving me crazy!
Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.
