Upgraded to Mountain Lion - now cannot write to ext. HD

I have a strange issue.  Having recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion - I was first presented with an NTFS issue whereby my system would not mount or recognize any hard drive formatted NTFS.  After some extensive research online, it was discovered that there was a conflict with two third party utilities / preference panes, namely, NTFS-3G, and Mac Fuse.  I have deleted those two preferences and all associated files - they have been completely removed and uninstalled from my system.  I now am able to mount and read NTFS drives, however, the one drive where I have been keeping all my movies / TV content, can now only be READ.  In other words, I cannot copy files to it, nor can I create folders, etc.  What happened that I can no longer write to this particular drive?  I had no problems while I had Snow Leopard on my system, but now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion....something happened, and I want to fix it.  Please help if you have anything useful for me.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
    If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

    Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
    Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
    Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
    or this,
    Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
    Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
    Please let me know if it works.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display through my thunder port and HDMI cable ???

    after upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display anymore using thunderport and HDMI , which worked before , does this mean I have to buy apple tv to mirror onto my HD TV

    can it be something related to wi-fi?  I have read other posts talking about loss of connection using wifi.  I'm connecting my G5 through an airport express which is expanding my wifi generated from my Apple Time Capsule. It is quite difficult for me to relocate the server close to the Time Capsule and vice versa but if it works, at least that would be something.  It was working with Lion about 3 months ago - showing up in Finder, etc.

  • Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router

The other is for backup only. I cannot connect to the primary with my iMac but have no trouble with any of the other devices which include iphones and ipads.phones and iPads.

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.

  • HT1338 After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I cannot get my external speakers (Bose) to work on my iMac.  Any help?

    After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I cannot get my external speakers to work (Bose).  What can I do to fix?  They worked fine prior to upgrade.

    If you haven't already, go to your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">click on the center tab labelled "Output">highlight your external Bose Speakers in the list by clicking on it>turn up the Volume slider at the bottom of the window.  Hopefully that solves your problem.
    Hope this helps

  • I have Lion and want to upgrade to mountain lion, but cannot find it. I do not want mavericks.

    You will need to call Apple as it is no longer listed in the app store. After paying for it, they will send you a redemption code via email you can use to download it.

  • Upgraded mac pro to mountain lion, now cannot get flash to download!!!

    ok, here is the problem, I have a work macbook pro that is not connected to a backup time capsule. Upgraded to mountain lion today and nightmare occurs. Flash wont work as in system preferences it said flash was 10.1. something. Tried to upgrade flash to 10.3.something as per adobe site. it would not get past 39% and stopped working. Others questions on the communities suggested pluggins as issue, tried to sort that out to no avail. finally read somewhere that i need to unistall flash and then new version would install. thats where it all went wrong!!! Downloaded adobe uninstaller anf yep it unistalled flash, only problem is the installer for the current flash still wont download. So before I had at least firefox working with the old flash (and not safari!) but now neither work as it registers me as not having flash and needing to install it!! ARGH!!!
    Sort of worked a worked around for the time being by downloading chrome, and that works, but does anybody know how I can reslove this, tried following instructions from other threads and it just dont work. I am not a computer geek and its depressing me as I felt deflated after following a link that told me to go to disk utility, that highlighted an error that it could not repair even after command R restart. Is there anyway to return my computer to prior to mountain lion install back to lion without have a time capsule....feeling depresssed as I convinced my collegues to by a MAC because they just work and I am getting grief because it doesnt!!!

  • I've upgraded to mountain lion and cannot receive email

    Can anyone help?
    I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot receive email in any account although I can send emails
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem but with a worringly more complex situation. I too can see TC in finder. I can see the backup disk for my iMac in TM. I can also see the backup disk for my MBP in TM (this sits on a HD that is daisy chained to my 1TB TC).
    Here's the worring bit. My MBP was upgraded to Moutain Lion but my iMac is still on Lion. Both have the same issue in that all disks can be seen as normal but not connect to make backups.
    I receive the notificaiton that includes: "cannot connect...xxxtimecapsule.local. Verify server name or IP address. "
    I have made a backup since the Mountain Lion upgrade with no issues then suddenly it cannot connect to repsective backup disks on either machine. I was attempting a restore of my MBP from my backup so I could have a cleaner disk to create a new partition for windows. When I choose the backup disk to restore from (in recovery mode) was when it failed to connect and its been downhill from there.
    Router works fine and I am still connected to my dsl modem,
    I have reset TC and all machines. I am now at a complete loss!

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot convert Chinese characters anymore

    I used to be able to convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese and vice versa in OS X Lion. After I upgraded it to Mountain Lion, I cannot do so anymore. It just keeps asking to run the service which I have already done it. After clicking "Run service" nothing happened.
    Any help please
    Thank you in advance

    i've called apple support hong kong and here's the solution (works on apple's app like textedit but not on MS office applications):
    1. go to /system/library/services and copy "ChineseTextConverterService" to desktop.
    2. quit all running applications.
    3. log out and log in again.
    4. move "ChineseTextConverterService" from desktop back to where it was. when asked click on "replace".
    5. log out and log in again.
    6. of course boxes of "convert text from..." under system preference/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts/services/text should be checked (turn on)
    i'm still looking for solution on how to make it work on MS office applications. if anyone knows one, pls post. thanks.

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion.Now I have trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Why?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook. I am now having trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Does anyone know why or how to wake it up. I try tapping the space bar, trackpad & other keys. Sometimes I think it's never going to wake up.

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot connect to my Airport Extreme on the 5GHz band (2.4GHz works fine)...what's going on?

    I have been having intermittent/no wireless success on the 5GHz band of my Airport Extreme.  I'm on an iMac early 2008.  It was working fine before upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I have tried many things (deleting the wireless network, readding it, changing settings on the AirPort Extreme, deleting the 5GHz network on that and readding it, running diagnostics) but nothing has fixed it.  I can switch to the 2.4GHz band and it works flawlessly.  This must be a software problem since it only started happening when I upgraded the OS.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    No it isn't, I have tried 4 different mountain lion machines connected to a 5Ghz and it works just fine. It is with your machine hence we need to fix it
    create a new location and see if that fixes your issue, If not trash Macintosh HD/Library/System Configuration
    That is a folder so trash it > restart the computer > create a new location
