Upgrade mountain lion, cant restore back up n iLife apps missing

i had upgrade my macbook to mountain lion, now i cant restore my back up from my time machine and all my iLife apps and Microsoft 2008 missing. How can I get it back?

About ilife if you bought them from the MAS then you can redownload then again,but if no then they are in the DVD's that come with your mac.The first is the operative system but in the second one you can find the bundle applications they are the ilife applications.Just insert it and install them.
If you loss the dvd's then contact apple and with your machine serial number probably can get a replacement.
Hope it helps.

Time Machine backup on Mountain Lion not restoring

I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade, I duly take back ups to my two existing time machine back-ups on two external hard disks. I also maintain a separate CCC bootable clone. I recently tried to restore my calendary folder to restore data on my Calendar application but I got the shock of my life when I realised that NO mountain lion restores are working using either of my time machine back ups. BTW I have previously upgraded to Snow Leopard and to Lion, and my Time Machine backup disks have never showed any problems.
I have spent the last 4-5 days trying a variety of solutions, with no luck so far:
1) I looked at Pondini's website, including restoring data from TimeMachine backup to a dmg image and copying. This failed due to a combination of permissions error and wrong information about size / disk space requriements. In any case, this is not a feasible option since I would prefer restore to work directly, especially for large files and system files, as it did before since this workaround is not really a solution.
http://pondini.org/TM/E10.html
2) I followed instructions given at http://superuser.com/questions/35152/how-do-i-retrieve-files-from-time-machine-b ackups-from-another-computer and set ignore ownership via command line and then backed up again, but this did not fix permissions either on the new backup.
3) I used a separate external hard disk, reformatted it as Mac OSX journaled (not case sensitive) using a GUID partition map, and then backed up my hard disk (~330GB) which took ages but the new time machine back up does not work either. I still get permissions errors on restore from TM backup.
4) Using yet another hard disk, I followed advice here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096
This has not worked either - I still get permissions errors on restore from TM backup.
5) If I go back to a TM backup dated PRIOR to upgrading to Mountain Lion, all restores work fine from both my exisiting time machine backups. It seems to me that only post Mountain Lion upgrades which don't work. So my conclusion is that it is ML that has introduced some sort of permissions issue.
6) File restores (i.e. copy paste to my desktop) from the CCC cloned backup proceed wthout a hitch.
At this stage I all I am really trying to aim for is getting a working time machine backup, even if it is a new one which restores properly. That is proving to be a huge challenge. Any help or advice would be very useful indeed. The only option left for me is to now either go to an Apple Store or to call Apple Care, but I am not confident of securing a resolution at either place. So any advice from more experienced users would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can I use a mountain lion time machine back up on new mavericks macs?

My macbook retina was stolen at my school. I was wondering because I used time machine having mountain lion, does it affect anything when if i purchase a mavericks macbook pro? the just announced one. I have all my pictures (iphoto) in that last back up. Can i use a mountain lion time machine back up on new mavericks macs? My macbook retina was stolen on August 16? So I don't know if there was an update on my mac that might affect it in any way...

It's ok you can use your ML TM to transfer your account. iPhoto library and other things will be upgraded when you open the apps.
At the end of the Apple article it says:
Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac
When you get a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made. When you start up your new Mac for the first time, the Setup Assistant asks you if you would like to restore from backup. If you've already set up your new Mac, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities) to do the same thing.
After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg). It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working. Suggestions? Thanks!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

can I upgrade Mountain Lion to a Mac 10.5.8?

It depends upon your Mac. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

Mountain Lion cant see my WD external Drive

I have just got my new MBP 15inch this week. I tried to mount a 1TB WD external Hard disk ... but my MBP (including the Disk Utility) cant see it. The external drive can be mounted perfectly on another MB 13 inch Mac OS Leopard machine.
I tried to plug/unplug ... use different USB port ... and i failed. After two days I tried again and only once my MBP 15 inch detected the drive !!!! It was very weird ! I copied some stiuff from the drive and unplugged it. When I tried to plug it again, the same problem appeard !!!
Help !

Thanks for the no-one-help. But for other poor buyers : Buy a new SS USB cable. It seems that Mountain Lion cant read the WD with the one-year old cable. Anyhow ... both are frustrating (Apple and WD )
get a new cable !

Mountain Lion isn't letting me use the App Store, Can someone help me?

I thought that mountain lion will be a very useful software upgrade. After I downloaded Mountain Lion, I can't connect to the App Store and I can't turn dictation on. Can someone please help me?

I am having the same problem. There is a glitch with the app store, that non-admins cannot connect to the app store. Try using the admin account overwise i'm not sure on that one.
I have no clue for dictation is it all faded out? That is how mine is, it is probably just a problem with the new software and they will release an upadte for that but if the app store is not working how can we receive the new release?
You'd of thought that apple would of run tests or something to see what happens when you download mountian lion. If i find anything i will keep you informed.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Yes, if you purchased them from the App Store just redownload them. If you have the boxed set just reinstall them from the DVD.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again? Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion.
Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

Is it possible to uninstall OS Mountain Lion and go back to OS Lion? This upgrade has been a headache! Mail freezes, all contacts all gone and I am unable to import them again. HELP?

I recently downloaded and install OS Mountain Lion on my iMac. Consequently none of the new mail features are available and everytime I attempt to check for new mail or send mail, the mail app freezes and has to be forced closed. Also, all of my contacts are gone, and I am unable to import them back. And I just discovered that all of my calendar items are missing too. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Thank you for the tip, Andreas. That is exactly what I did for my iPad, and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, when I try to set up my Gmail accounts in Mountain Lion using Exchange services, I receive the following error after putting in m.google.com in the server address field:
The Exchange server "(null)" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
I know this works for iOS, but it seems like this will not work on Mac OS X.
Any other suggestions? Thank you.
