TS3048 Mountain lion and old apple bluetooth mouse sync problems
I just purchased the a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I am trying to pair it with my old bluetooth mouse modle number A1197 with the small scroll ball at the top. I cannot get my computer to recognize this mouse at all. Is there any solution or do I just have to buy a new mouse? The mouse still works fine and has not difficulty synchronizing with my desktop --but Mountain Lion is not yet installed on the Desktop.
A Bluetooth device may only pair with one thing at a time.

I just upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and my bluetooth headset doesn't work. All I get is static. Worked fine with Lion. It doesn't work with my new MacBook Pro either.
I use the headset extensively talking on Skype and gtalk with my partner.
Help!!!If you've tried the SMC reset then try a Pram reset:

Mac OS Mountain Lion and BB Desktop - can't sync
Hi all
I've upgraded to mountain lion but now can't sync my BB. It tries but the diary doesn't update at all and all my contacts were deleted. I've got a Curve 9360. Anyone else had this issue? Solutions? I am also speaking to Apple to see if I can't remove the upgrade but sounds like it's rather convoluded...I have also having the same error. I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 last night. I currently have iTunes 10.5.1 (I have no upgraded to the 10.6).
Now I cannot open iTunes and get the same error message as above:
The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was crated by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now.
Can anyone help please? -

Hi
I am having several issues with Yosemite, mainly disappearing folders (title / name) but no folder or more importantly no previews of .mov or other video files nor unable to open them. I have years of these files that I want to edit in FCP X.
I have upgraded all my Apple apps so they now work in 10.10.2, but I want to revert back to Mavericks as a second partition for video work.
Is there any way I can reinstalled an older OS and downgrade my Apple apps like FCP X and Aperture so I can open, edit and produce dvd / bluray of these files.
Thanks in advance
MattThanks perermac87. I'm can make a second partition on ssd for mavericks as plenty of space, but final cut x 10.1.4 I have now needs Yosemite to open. So how can I also download older versions of my apps from the App Store?
urbkuhl I live in the uk with fibre too and downloaded 10.10.2 in under 10 mins -
Upgraded to Mountain Lion and Can't Get Calendar to sync with Exchange server

hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??
Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area. -
HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!
Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard. -

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?
How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

My apple bluetooth mouse is not being recognized by my macbook air - and it was yesterday!
My apple bluetooth mouse was working perfectly with my macbook air until I had to change the batteries. Now it is not discoverable and I really can't operate without a mouse. I tried another logitech usb mouse and that was not discoverable either. Please help!
Today, when I turned on my iMac, neither my bluetooth mouse or keyboard were recognized. I had to connect my old USB keyboard-mouse to type this message.
And yes, I restarted my iMac, didn't help.
Can someone help?
PS: Barry, "resetting SMC" doesn't help -
Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...
I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson -
I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there -
I purchased Apple TV yesterday strictly to mirror my desktop to my TV. Now I find out my desktop is not supported? How can I mirror my iMac to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and the iMac is a 2.8 GHz with intel core 2 duo from early 2008.
Thanks for your help!You cannot officially do this Apple's way as they do not support your computer for Airplay.
There is a software solution called Airparrot that you may want to demo:

Some people are pleased with it othes not so much.

Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection
I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices. I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
Has anyone fixed this?
Thanks!Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!
