Upgraded to Mountain Lion, can no longer use airplay

Last week I purchased Apple TV (I believe its 3rd Gen) and had it all working fine, until I decided to be 'clever' and upgrade to Mountain Lion so I could use the mirroring in AirPlay. Prior to the upgrade I could stream brilliantly through itunes, including movies, to the tv via our Apple TV.
After the upgrade iTunes intially kept popping up every time I would attempt to play a movie through airplay and say it couldn't find the Apple TV. After a few hours of pulling my hair out, restoring the Apple TV, restarting my MacBook a million times and whacking the keyboard for effect - the AirPlay icon has now totalling disappeared from iTunes. After a bit of investigation, I discovered that my Mac is actually mid 2010 and thus I understand incapable of mirroring through Mountain Lion! I've read that uninstalling Mountain Lion is actually more a case of wiping my laptop and starting again. I'm really hoping to avoid that!!
Is there a way I can still use AirPlay in iTunes with Mountain Lion and if so I'd appreciate some direction on how to get it working.

fixed - found out I had to turn off IGMP Proxy in my FiOS home router. Why, I don't know.

Upgraded to mountain lion, can no longer see D110 on WLAN

I recently upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion. It is connected to my FiOS home router via Ethernet (wired). I have a Photosmart D110 on my WLAN. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked fine. Since the upgrade, the iMac can no longer see the D110.
If I put the iMac on the WLAN it sees the D110, but it can't see it when the D110 is on WiFi and the iMac is on wired Ethernet. I'd like to keep the iMac on wired Ethernet, is there a fix?
I did try deleting the printer, connecting it via USB, and re-adding it to see if it would install any software updates, but I'm still having the same issue.
Thanks!

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot use microsoft office--what happened?

I've upgraded to ox Mountain Lion and now cannot use any of my Microsoft office software. What happened?

It appears that you upgraded your computer to Mountain Lion and were using Microsoft Office 2004. In the short term, if you need to open and modify Word files, go to the file in the Finder and Control-Click on it. A menu will come up: go to Open With... and select TextEdit. This should allow you to open, modify and save the file for the short term.
You can do the same trick to open Microsoft Excel files in Preview and print them; but I do not think you can modify them in this way.
Workarounds for Microsoft Office 2004 since upgrading to Mountain Lion:
1. Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011. This version works in Mountain Lion. However some of your legacy 2004 files may convert badly.
2. Restore the version of OS X that you were using before Mountain Lion.
3. Partition your hard drive and/or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard on it and use the 'dual-boot' method of booting into Mountain Lion when you need it and booting into Snow Leopard when you need to run your PowerPC applications such as Microsoft Office 2004.
4. The method I use, which allows me to run my PowerPC applications concurrently with Lion: I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

I have Snow Leopard, But I cant upgrade to Mountain Lion, can I upgrade to Lion?

I have an old MacBook, from 2006 and currently have Snow Leopard installed (after purchasing it in 2010), I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion mainly because I want the Xcode 4 which looks 100% better than the current Xcode I have. However, when I try to buy the OS X Mountain Lion it tells me I do not have the correct processor. After a little research I saw an article that said some OS X Lion users could not upgrade to Mountain Lion because Mac is no longer supporting its older models like MacBooks before 2008 or something like that.
So this lead me to the idea maybe I don't have to upgrade to Mountain Lion, maybe I could upgrade to Lion and still be able to get Xcode 4. So, I tried to find a way to upgrade to OS X Lion, but I could only find the upgrade to Mountain Lion. Which is frustrating because I don't want to buy a brand new MacBook just to get Xcode 4, its nice, but not that nice. But Apple should allow me to at least upgrade to Lion, because they decided to no-longer support this older hardware I am still using.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; Lion requires a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. You don't need to buy a brand new Mac in any case.

If I upgrade to mountain lion can I uninstall it if I don't like it

If I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and I don't like Mountain Lion, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and be asured that my IOS Lion will function and be ok?

You can't uninstall an OS. You can only erase and re-install the previous OS. You would also need a backup of your previous data.

HT201343 So if my iMac is more than 12 months old I can no longer use AirPlay? This is ridiculous!!! Do I have to go back to snow leopard to have the use of what I pay for?

I "upgraded" to Mountain Lion and lost the Airplay function. My computer - iMac 2010 - is apparently to 'old' for this.
There must be a work around or the staff at Apple is not nearly as sensible as I thought.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Mountain Lion can't be used I can use Lion if I can get it

Hi I have 2 Apple Macs, a Mac book purchased 2007 and a Mac pro G5 I purchased as a refurbished unit in 2011 its build year 2006. to replace my G5 power mac as I was unable to upgrade to the next OS system as I could on my Mac book. This was to v10.5 (Leopard)
In 2011 When I purchased the second hand Mac pro I decided to upgrade to v10.7 (Lion)
But found I had to upgrade to v10.6 (Snow Leopard) first this I did no problem.
Due to various reasons I didn't get organised to upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) until early July but I noticed the next version was about to be released and I could upgrade from v10.6 (Snow Leopard) to v10.8 (Mountain Lion) so ok I can skip Lion.
I now find the just discovered Snow Leopard will not run on either of my computers Apple tech support said sorry the architecture was changed around 2008 (no publicity about that) but I could upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) and still get some improvement.
My problem is could not find where to purchase Lion which is only available as a download, it had been replaced by Mountain Lion. When I Contacted Apple sales they informed me that lion is no longer available, advised me upgrade my computers!!
why can't I get Lion it was there a couple of weeks ago ?
Older Software released prior to Jan 1,1998 in the US and worldwide is available

I'm largely in the same boat. I'm running 10.6 and I bought both my computers on the cusp of the capability range apple listed. I had no way of telling if they fell in the right category. I looked for something that listed serial number ranges or some kind of app that would tell me if they would be compatible but found nothing that was definitive. I even called Apple and they said it sounds like my computers will be fine. Saying things like "Mid/Late 2007 or newer" is hardly precise. Needless to say I bought my Macbook Pro in mid 2007 and my Mac Pro in early 2008. Both have turned out to not support 10.8. I have no problem with that but would like to at least upgrade to 10.7. 10.6 is still available via phone sales but not 10.7. Very fustrating.

Mountain Lion--Can I delay use of content code/password?

The school I'm attending this fall administers tests via a program that will not be supported on Mountain Lion until Spring 2013. I have already acquired a content code and password for my macbook pro, but thankfully did not download Mountain Lion yet. I would like to download it Spring 2013, but I'm wondering if the content code and password will expire by then. Does anyone know if the information I have from apple now will still work months from now?

Were I you I would go ahead and download the installer application. After the installer launches simply Quit the installer and copy it to your Downloads folder for safe keeping. If you want to use Mountain Lion then create a new partition on your hard drive and install Mountain Lion on the new partition. You can then use OPTION booting to switch between operating systems.

Mail in Mountain Lion can no longer connect to Hotmail server

A couple of days ago I suddenly got the warning triangle next to my hotmail accounts in Mail on my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Clicking on them or looking in the connection doctor just says that it can't connect to pop3.live.com, verify all account details etc. I've already tried all of the standard troubleshooting steps including (but not just) removing and re-adding the accounts and verifying all account details etc and nothing has worked.
Does anyone know if this is a Mail problem? Completely out of ideas and Google doesn't seem to have anymore answers to try...
Any help appreciated!

Thought I had the same problem, find out that any account won't work. Hotmail/Webmail (domains)/work mail/ISP mail. Nothing works.
All give the time-out error.
edit:
Tried to add my iCloud mail, got the same error when setting up my account.

Thinking about upgrading to Mountain Lion. Family members use different devices, but all on one apple account.

Will we be able to view our individual facebook accounts on our individual devices, all have our individual games with Mountain Lion or will it automatically synchronise to the same thing? If so, what do we need to do to separate our devices? Would we have to purchase separate Mountain Lions for each device if we did separate them?

TS3276 I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. I cannot use mail to send e-mail now.

Mail Receives fine. Connection doctor says everything okay. Apple support is a dead end, as they want to set up a phone call, and I am in Italy on business!! No e-mail support?? someone please help

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Lost use of word for mac 2004 when upgraded to mountain lion OSX

IVe just upgraded to Mountain Lion OSX and lost use of word for Mac 2004. how can i get in to work again

Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Time Machine backup fails

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have used TM with an external HD attached to my Airport Extreme for a few years now to back up my MBP. It has worked great, so after the ML upgrade, TM will not recognize my external HD dedicated to TM backups. I can see the EHD on the TM system preferences, but it on gives me the option to remove it. Under other available disks, it also shows the EHD but the name of the Airport is different. The name of the Airport is called The Thread, but on other available disks section of the screen, it is shown as The-Thread. I have tried to change to this and I get the error message saying it can't see it. The other HD plugged into my Airport Extreme has all of my iTunes files on it and it plays the files just fine and I can see the files on the TM backup HD in the finder.
I have gotten the errors 17 and 60 when trying the backups. The dash in the Airport name is the only difference I can see.

Backing up to a hard drive on an Airport Extreme base station is, contrary to common sense, not a supported configuration and is known to be problematic, with the possibility of sudden failure always looming. See:

Please provide more details. What version OS X were you using?
Are you saying that Mail faIled to upgrade and you lost your old mail?
Are you asking about PowerPC applications that require Rosetta to run like AppleWorks and Microsoft Office 2004?
