    Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
    Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

    You may also need to install QuickTime Player 7.6.6 to open the files.

  • Updated to Mountain lion, and now iPhoto & iMove don't work. Help!

    I updated to Mointain Lion, and now my iPhoto & iMove don't work. I would rather not have to pay for them AGAIN..
    The error i get is "You can't open the application 'iPhoto' because thr PowerPC applications are no longer supported"
    Any help greatfully recieved

    Yes.
    Current iPhoto is 9.4.3.
    Current iDVD is 7.1.2
    Current iMovie is 9.0.9
    You can either buy iLife 11 which will update or download from the App Store, which doesn't have iDVD.

  • I updated to Mountain Lion and can't access most of my photo libraries , both Aperture and iPhoto

    After updatiing yesterday I cant access my libraries, I get two different messages, one says :"Aperture can't access this Library' "to use this library , make sure its file permissions are set correctly".  The next one says "Unable to write to library iPhoto Library 2
    check that you have permissions to write to the library directory.Any ideas what I have to do tho get access again.

    I have been having the same issue, although the external drive is not an array. It's a multi-disk setup where the drives are manually duplicated using Super Duper, although it could be set up as an array. The suggestion to remove the external drive(s) from the system, spinning them down, then plugging them in worked ONCE. After that, the next time Aperture was relaunced, the problem resumed. And now spinning them down or taking them out and restarting them, even restarting the Mac, has no effect. I'm testing to see if moving the Libraries to another drive and reformatting the drives in this external enclosure before bringing the libraries back will have an remedy. It may be there needs to be a firmware update to the external enclosure in order to work properly with Mountain Lion.

  • I've paid for my Mountain Lion and can see the transaction in my itunes account, but it fails to download for the past 36 hours. Any solutions, or is the system heavily overloaded?

    Can anyone help with this issue? It's hard to beleive that Apple is having such a protracted problem...

    Sorry to hear that, it does seem to be stateside where the problems are (been to Vancouver, great City by the way ) Here I downloaded ML at 8pm last night with no issues. I didn't click the main banner I clicked Mountain Lion under I think it was productivity, not sure if that made any difference though tbh. Its worth the wait, runs beautifully so far on my Mid 2011 i7 iMac. If you can maybe try taking your Mac to an Apple store and see if they have better bandwidth for the download.

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

  • Back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on.  Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard.  Can I change that back?

    Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space".  While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

  • I just updated to mountain lion and now pandora won't work, videos won't work, i can't access my iTunes.... the list goes on. HELP!

    I recently updated to mountain lion and many of my most used programs won't work....
    pandora
    itunes
    hulu
    any vidoes.... says pop up blocked
    somehow I can't change any of my security preferences
    SUPER FRUSTRATING

    So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
    If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
    Best of luck.

  • I just updated to Mountain Lion and now I notice on the side bar under "shared" an icon of a computer. It states that it is a memory card.  What is this? I can't seem to open it.

    I just updated to Mountain Lion and now I notice on the side bar under "shared" an icon of a computer. It states that it is a memory card.  What is this? I can't seem to open it. FYI: my wifi router is password protected.  Thank you!

    Do you have a printer that has a memory card slot on it?

  • I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

    I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2.  I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?  They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS...  Thanks,

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. No iTunes now.

    Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
    If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

    I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts. 
    You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode.  You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts. 
    If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again. 
    BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write. 
    I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer. 
    Good luck! 

  • Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website

    Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website from my computer, but it works on other computers. Using a java wordpress site, can't even access my admin panel. Anybody else have this problem. What might have caused this. Even tried reinstall Lion, no success

    I can't access my cPanel or just the website itself.  I can't access the admin panel for the Wordpress workings either.
    And it all worked fine until I updated to Lion.
    Any help you can provider would be very helpful.  My host is claiming they can access it fine so they aren't able to help.  They verified my IP isn't blocked on their end.
    And I can access it straight away in Safari.Do you have any anti-virus or third party programs, especially secrity related installed?
    Can you access any other sites you regularly go to?
    Is your Wordpress program up to date to be compatable with Lion (check developer's site)

    These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    please help me to fix this problem
    Thanks
    Krishna.

    You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • How can I use both Lion and Leopard on the same computer?

    I have installed Lion and can't recover documents created by Canvas 9, a  PPC app.  Can I create a partition to run Leopard, so that I can use PPC apps?

    My mid-2010 iMac 27" i3 came with Snow Leopard. My internal hard drive is partitoned into 3 parts - one boot volume for Snow Leopard (10.6.7); one boot volume for Lion; another boot volume for Lion. The two Lion partitions were added to the internal drive without erasing the initial install of Snow Leopard.
    I also have an external firewire drive which is partitioned into three volumes: one with a clone of the primary's Snow Leopard 10.6.7; one with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (built on another clone of the primary); and one used for GP file storage.
    That gives me three bootable volumes for Snow Leopard (two of 10.6.7, and one of 10.6.8) and two bootable volumes for Lion. All of those are, in fact bootable - they have all been tested for that by booting to them.
    Booting to a different valid OS on a different volume is as easy as going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and then selecting the OS/volume one would like to use on the next restart. Then just restart.
    The choice can also be made at booting - as soon as the startup chimes sound, hold down the Option key to bring up Startup Manager. In that screen select the boot volume of choice.
