Url icons vanished? in Mountain Lion
Anyone know why all the small url icons have vanished? since Mountain Lion, bookmark list is just blue balls! Sometimes they appear but after shutting down and re-starting they will vanish again...
Did you clear Safari's history? If so, that also inanely deletes the WebpageIcons and empties the cache. Check Safari help for the details.

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and it's great, but I used to be able to change the size of icons just by pinching on the trackpad and whatever the opposite of pinching is. I know I can't "right click" and bring up "View Options" and change it that way, but that's not nearly as convenient for as often as I use this tiny feature. It sounds silly, but I got really used to it for what I do for work and it's been annoying not being able to figure it out. Thanks for your help!
I guess you mean icons in the Finder icon view? If so, I know what you mean. That was a pretty cool feature.
I believe the only other thing you can do now is to enable the status bar (command /, or from the View menu), and use the little slider that is there. -
Using Mountain Lion the past 8 days I notice that the icons (especially images, some photos etc) are not clear. They are fuzzy! For example, I go to my home folder and open the Pictures folder. The icon for the iPhoto library is fuzzy --- and if I increase the size to 512 x 512 (i.e. the maximum) it is blurry and fuzzy and just awful!
Yet I open a photo file in FINDER just now with hundreds of photos and it is clear! (i.e. viewing the photo in the Finder is clear - might take a micro-second to go from pixelated to clear, but it gets very sharp, very clear). BUT the other icons are super fuzzy, including some photo (.jpg) files.
It seems if I restart this sometimes gets resolved - but it is a problem I have NEVER had in Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion…
Is anyone else experiencing this? MacBook Pro-13", mid-2010 with Core Duo 2 and 8gb RAM.
Thanks for your comments, this is just weird and not acceptable--- a "bug" in ML?
Best regards,

Saturday 4 August 2012Hello,
now that I read all posts here, I must confirm the critical point about ML. Maybe some users dont realize it, but on nearly 10 iMacs and two very new MacBooks (july 2012) at my work there is the same fuzzy icon problem. After a restart it is gone (sometimes), but it appears again when i update the app or change something in the folder with the unsharp blurry icon.
I use an iMac of 2008 at home, never had any problems with my icons until now. And I did a clean install of ML on an external firewire disk, but: same problem here. The older the icons are, the fuzzier they appear. I hope this could be solved soon. Wasn't this one of the main argument to buy an apple instead of a windows pc where icons disappeared and so on...
Please excuse my bad english -

Cannot get progress to show in app store download of Mountain Lion
Having to re-download Mountain Lion on my mid 2009 MBP from overseas. The ML app shows "downloading" in dock with progress bar under it (and just a hint of blue for hours now), but in the App Store on the Purchases tab it just shows the Mountain Lion app with a gray "Download" button. I want to see the progress of the download since I'm overseas and it could take a couple days. If I click on the "Download" button it goes clear for a minute but goes back to the gray "Download". I've tried closing and re-opening App Store, restarting the computer and I've also tried doing it all in Safe Mode. No difference. I can't be sure something is actually happening without a progress meter. Any ideas out there?
There may be no apparent "progress bar" in the App Store. It may be a bug associated with this particular download. Unfortunately I am not in a position to determine if this is related to you being overseas or not.
To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
The downloaded file will also be in your Applications folder. When it finishes, it looks like this (Mavericks icons are shown; Mountain Lion is similar):
Check your Downloads folder. Before it finishes downloading, it will have a "progress bar" at the bottom. While it is downloading it looks like this:
If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
Launchpad equivalents:
When it's finished it looks like this:
If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
Open the Mac App Store.
From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
Click the Resume button next to the app name.
If that doesn't work, "sign out" of the App Store, and sign back in again.
If that doesn't work, try restarting your Mac.
If that doesn't work, write back. -
Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup.
I went through all the repair/rebuild options when pressing cmd/optn and pressing the iphoto icon
I reinstralled Mountain Lion, ran software update, reinsalled Iphoto and ran software update,
I restored old copies of the iphoto library from Time Machine.
I bought Iphoto Library Manager and tried to retrieved and/or rebuild the library
ABSOLUTELY nothing worked and I still get this error message.
I went to the Apple store in Geneva and they told me that deleting Iphoto, reinstalling it and running software update will fix it. It didn't
Can anyone please help or shed some light on what could be wrong ?
OSX 10.8.2 and Iphoto 9.4.2 on Mac Pro 15 inLibrary Manager opens the Iphoto Library and I can see all of the photos, about 12,500 of them. But when I open Iphoto afterwards, I get the error message again "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup."
I tried to create a new Iphoto Library using Library Manager, but LM was unable to create one as it needed to access Iphoto back and forth and Iphoto would not allow it access because of the error, therefore LM was unable to create a new clean library.
After opening the iphoto LIbrary within the Library Manager, I opened Iphoto and tried to repair/rebuild etc.. without success.
The problem first occured after I upgraded my Iphone to IO6.02 then I transferred my Iphone photos to Iphotos. I alo synced the Iphone with itunes.
Thank you for looking into this on Christmas day !!!! -
Why cant i install mountain lion on my 10.6.8
Ive got a 27 inch iMac and ive currently got the 10.6.8 version. In order to use a new game capture, i have to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8. So i paid the $20.00 fee and it stated downloading. i saw the icon of the Mountain Lion in my applications bar at the bottom of my screen. However, when it finished downloading, it disappears. I cant find any trace of it on my hard drive at all. It just f***ing disappears without a trace once the progress bar finished. Does anyone know whats going on? please help!!
Look in your Application Folder for the OS X Mountain Lion Installer.

Mountain Lion changes my google chat icon / avatar
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and regularly, after a few days of use, I notice that my Google chat icon / image / avatar is being changed to an image that I have on my local machine, that I once had as my login avatar, but have not used now for over 8 years!
It seems that Mountain Lion is telling Google's chat (but not Google+, or facebook) to use this image as my avatar for google chat, even though I am not explicitly telling it to, AND both my contacts and login profile images (System Preferences -> Users & Groups) on my mac are set to the correct image I want.
Originially, my avatar was an animated gif, but I'm trying to replace that everywhere with a standard gif just in case that's the problem, but it doesn't seem to be helping!
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up?? The picture is not my current login or contacts pictures...
I did look at this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19272677#19272677 but changing my contacts image, even to a standard jpg/gif, did not help.
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up??Ok... I figured it out on my own...
Messages will regularly (~1 hour I think) change all the avatar/profile images it can for all the various jabber, AIM, etc (including gchat, since it's jabber protocol). I thought it was changing it to my Address book or "contacts" profile, or my login images, but these are independent of the one Messages was using (atleast for me). Here's how I fixed this for me:
Go to Mac OS Menu Bar (when focussed in Messages):
Messages -> Change My Picture...
Then drag an image you want to use into one of the "recents" tab, use the "other" tab, or take a picture of yourself using the web cam. Once you've selected a photo, you can crop it within the image window, or leave it alone. When you're ready, just click "done" button.
That's seeming to fix this PITA for me... why Apple decided my Mac's account image, Contacts profile, and Messages avatar image should all be different... beats me. -
Mail (Mountain Lion) emails disappear - vanishing email - missing emails
Problem:
I have 5 different email addresses configured in Apple's Mail application. One day after checking Mail several times through a day, I open Mail and all 5 email accounts show empty inboxes and outboxes. I was shocked and in panic mode because I have thousands of emails going back to 2012 I needed to refer to.
My setup:
(I'm sure this issue is not limited to my setup)
15" Mid 2010 i7 MacBook Pro, running OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5, Mail version 6.6
My search for an answer:
I've been Mac since the early 90's & I knew finding a solution from apples website would be a ton of work because of Apples mind numbingly pathetic search support.
So I used "the google" to help me.
I found a long history of disappearing issues with Mail since Mountain Lion's introduction.
With that long history, the fixes were many.
I tried two of them:
1- Mails Mailbox pulldown window Rebuild.
2- "home" folders now hidden "Library" remove Mail and Mail Downloads folders..
Neither solution worked for me.
After a lot of time on the google I found help.
Solution:
I found a solution and I'm posting it here in hopes that others find it faster then I did here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704
In steps:
Mail should not be open, if it is quit Mail.
1 - On your mac, go yo your "Home" folder.
Details for finding this folder:
It is the folder icon that looks like a little house.
A simple way to get there:
With all apps and windows closed, at the top of your monitor, far left, is the Apple icon, next to that is the word "Finder", go right and click on the word "Go", in that drop down menu/window click on "Home"
2 - Open "Library" folder in "Home" folder.
Details for finding this folder:
It is a folder that starting with Lion is now invisable/hidden from your view. So you first have to make it visable/unhide it.
A simple way to get there:
As listed above, at the top of your monitor, far left, is the Apple icon, next to that is the word "Finder", go right and click on the word "Go", in that drop down menu/window now click on "Go to Folder". That will open a window with a box for you to type. In the box type "~/Library" ... more help... the ~ key can be found in the upper left corner of your keyboard just under the esc key. Press the shift key then the `~ key.
3 - Open "Mail", then "V2" then "MailData" inside that folder delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.
Details for finding the items to delete/trash/put in recycle bin and empty:
Inside your now unhidden "Home" "Library" folder, open the "Mail" folder, inside that folder open "V2" folder, inside that folder open "MailData" folder, inside that folder look for any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm. and throw them in the trash and delete/empty trash.
4 - last step. Open mail.
It should open with a window "Mail message Import" click on "next" it will prosess/make a new list of your existing emails (more emails will take more time) and you should be back in business.Thomas A Reed wrote:
Yes I am and for good reason.
You have never elaborated on those reasons.
Have you ever looked at all the posts on these forums about Mac Mail? More then for any other Mail program on any other forum
You should know better than to extrapolate conclusions from such questionable sources. Data on troubleshooting forums is always biased towards trouble, so you have no data about the ratio of people having trouble to people not having trouble. Further, comparing to other forums is similarly meaningless. Mail is the default e-mail client on the Mac, and will have a much higher portion of the market share than Thunderbird. So of course it will have more complaints, because more people are using it.
If you have concrete reasons to constantly bash Mail, rather than hearsay and unscientific "data," I'm all ears.

i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
thank youWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible -
I think I finished installing Mountain Lion, and am at the "log in" page with the Mountain Lion icon, but I cannot do any of the functions on screen. That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP. -
The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion
Please help. I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. iTunes 10.7 And I have a solution:
If found a thread about IPv6.
I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters.
That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
Close iTunes. Start iTunes. Works. Airplay Icon is back.
It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup. At the very least rebooted.
I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it. Finally.
Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something. Original thread link:

Since upgrading to mountain lion I've noticed the full screen icon which used to be on the playback bar in quicktime has gone, I know you can go to the menus to make it full screen but if you're watching something online like with apple trailers I can't seem to make them fullscreen anymore, is it me or have they just taken this option away now?
I've been playing the trailers in my browser and the full screen option has gone for me,
As already stated, the icon was replaced by the "Share" pop-up menu icon in the same location.
and the command-f keys don't work either when I'm playing in a browser and it's truly only been since I upgraded to mountain lion.
Strange! It works for me. Here is a link to a screen recording of me wayching a trailer in Safari and later watching a trailer download. In both cases the trailer could be expsnded for full screen viewing and then reduced back to the size of the original 720p player display screen. If you can't do this then you may have a player problem also.

Why did apple make these changes when they worked perfectly the old way, I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Only Apple whould know for sure but my guess would be that other users may have requested the "Share" pop-up more. Makes no difference to me because I normally use the key shortcuts anyway. -
After installing Mountain Lion on my 17" MBP G-RAID mini connected via Tempo SATA Edge ExpressCard34 is no longer recognized. I restored icon and access by removing 34 card and substituting FW800 for eSATA. Any fix for the higher speed connection? TIA
Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
