Using verizon wifi fios router - need to wake on lan mountain lion
There is a lot of discussion about this issue, but other than using apple routers, I haven't seen a way to get this to work: I want to wake up my local macmini w/ mountain lion from my other macs. I have the settings set up to do it on the macs, but it is not getting through the network. Probably has to do with a setting in the router, but I need help to know how to do that. Thanks.

If it's useful, here's a write-up on wake on LAN and related topics from a while back, with links to various other documents, tools and mechanisms.
Various of Apple's wireless devices provide what's known as a sleep proxy for the target system. That is, the wireless devices mimic "being" the target device, and will wake the target device when there's activity determined to be necessary.
For the wake-on-LAN stuff, all of the intermediate routers have to support the traffic, and they almost certainly won't... As an alternative, get a firewall with a VPN server, VPN to that, and have at.
If you're particularly inclined, there are various fairly affordable network-connected power strips, or (more expensive) network-connected battery-backed power supplies; remote-managed less-interruptable power supplies. These can be used for controlling power, once you're connected to the VPN server on your LAN.

Do I need a Fresh Install of Mountain Lion?
Hi there! I need to do something to fix my computer but I am not sure what exactly. I could use some help from some more experienced people to I do not mess anything up.
System
2011 MacBook Air
-Mountain Lion
-Time Machine
-16 GB Flash Drive
Problems
I have a legal copy of Windows 7 and wanted to partition my HD so I could run it. I went into boot camp and it put Windows on my flash drive but when it went to partition my HD, I got the error "Files cannot be moved". I did some research on this error and discovered I need to reformat my drive. I decided the best thing to do would be a fresh install of Mountain Lion and then move my data over from Time Machine. This would fix my Boot Camp problem and free up some aditional wasted space.
Stipulations
While I have everything backed up on an external HD through Time Machine, I also have other files that are only saved on that disk. So I cannot erase my external HD and use it as a cloned drive or anything.
Solutions?
I need a fresh install of Mountain Lion and then transfer all my data from Time Machine. I have done this many times with older Macs, but I always had an install disc. What Should I do?
-thanks, JakeRemove some files from the hard drive. Either delete files that can be deleted or move files to an external storage and then delete them from the hard drive. Then boot in to repair by holding cmd+r when the comp is starting then enter disk utility and repair your hard drive. Then boot the computer like normal. This should fix this error allowing you to go ahead and partition the drive for Windows 7.

What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?
What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?
Hi,
If I remember correctly it is some while since Sony used iLink (Firewire) which would mean it is Firewire 400.
This would be the smaller 6 pin at the camera end and a 400 9 pin one at the "computer" end.
However we would now be looking at needing a 400 to 800 adaptor/link cable for newer computers.

I'm trying to restore my MacBook Air but it tells me I need to purchase OS X mountain lion which I have but it says I haven't and I obviously can't put a disc in because MacBook Airs don't take discs. What do I do?
Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.

Help needed upgrading my OSx to Mountain Lion
Hey!
My Macbook tells me the HD does not use GUID file system so I can upgrade my downloaded Mountain Lion. Im currently on 10.6.8.
I have tried to use disk utility to change this but no option exists. I verified the disk and it stopped saying disk needs a repair (file numbers are mismatched?) I do not have a dvd startup disc also. Any suggestions??
thanks in advance!EDIT: I thought you said you had the disk. I misread it. You'll have to contact Apple to get a replacement. There is nothing you can do without it.
They'll need your Mac's Serial Number.
What type Macbook Pro is it? You can find that in the System Information, Hardware overview. Open About this Mac and then choose More Info.
You must repartition the disk, which requires erasing everything on it.
So, you will need to back up your data using Time Machine or some other backup program. Also, make sure you back up the Mountain Lion installer so you don't have to download again.
Then, use your install disk to boot.
Once you select the language for the installer, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Select the hard disk (identified by manufacturer and size, usually).
Click the Partition Tab.
Set it for 1 partition (not current even if it was only 1 to begin with).
Click the Options button.
Set it to GUID partition table.
Click Ok to exit the options.
Set the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Set the Volume name to whatever you'd like (Macintosh HD is the norm).
Click Apply. It will warn you that everything will be erased.
After it is done, exit Disk Utility and continue the installation.
When the Startup Manager runs after installing, you can choose to migrate from your backup at this point (probably the best option), or wait until you have installed Mountain Lion. If you wait, don't use your old account name for the account you set up initially. It makes migration messy if you do.
Once installed, use Software Update to update to 10.6.8.
Then, copy the Mountain Lion installer into you Applications folder and run it. It should now let you upgrade. -
I am running 10.7.5 but when I try to install 10.8.2 I get an alert that says 10.8 is required first. Can't find a 10.8 system upgrade. What do I need to do to install Mountain Lion?
Buy it from the Mac App Store.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

I am keep getting this error "The disk is used for Time Machine Backup" when installing the new OSX Mountain Lion" when doing the upgrade to newly OS.
The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing. -
I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion for my workplace. I can't find the email that's supposed to be sent automatically. Any suggestions ?
If you just purchased Mountain Lion, wait a couple of days. It sometimes takes that long for the receipt to arrive. Also check any anti-spam filters on your email application or email account to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked.
If no receipt shows up within a couple of days, you can ask your company if a screen print of the order information from the Purchase History, which should be available through iTunes by viewing your account, would be sufficient. If not, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask if they can resend the receipt.

Mifi 4510L - Use Verizon Wifi Hotspots
I used to have the Mifi 2200 - and was able to cable up to the mifi - and use the Vz Access Manager to authenticate to the verizon wifi hotspots at airports, etc.
In getting the 4510, I see the Access Manager is no longer used/needed/supported, so how do I authenticate now to use the wifi hotspots...
Support, and my local store had no clue.The Verizon WiFi web site is specific on who is eligible.... and it was part of my purchasing decision on the MiFi 4510L and my 2 year contract.:
From http://support.vzw.com/clc/faqs/VZAccess/verizon_wifi.html#item7
Who is eligible for Verizon Wi-Fi service?
If you are currently signed up for a Mobile Broadband or GlobalAccess monthly service plan on a month-to-month, one- or two-year contract term, you are eligible for complimentary Verizon Wi-Fi.
Note: Prepaid Mobile Broadband, Mobile Broadband Connect, and smartphone users are not eligible for Verizon Wi-Fi.
So, how do MiFi 4510L customers get this to work? -
I had to erase my HD, I have Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion was added for an upgrade after that, now when I try to download the OS X, my HD looks like it going to take it, then it goes no where. And now what is showing up is OS X Maverick for a download, which I didn't even know it existed until I had to down load. I am wondering will I have redownload Snow Leopard or Mountain lion before the OS X Maverick will download.
thank youWell, you can do an erase and install via the Recovery HD:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Need to split partition my Mountain Lion HDD with Lion.
Hi all,
My MBP was shipped with Lion, I bought Mountain Lion and upgraded. However I now need to install Lion onto a partition of my HDD for my Firewire mixer (Phonic Helixboard 12 MKII). This mixer doesn't work with Mountain Lion sadly as they said they weren't updating the drivers...bad times. I also want a bootable partition for using my laptop live. Having nothing else but my music software running sort of thing to reduce technical hitches.
Anyway, I cannot find the Lion .app installer on the store (even with sneaky "option" on the purchases). Presumably I have never bought Lion then? Or is there something I'm missing?
Any ideas? I know I may be treading over old ground, but I've scoured the community for people that have Mountain Lion, but then need Lion. My main annoyance is that I've theoretically bought Lion as it came with the MBP.
(Also didn't know if this'd be an OS problem or MBP problem, sorry if I've placed this in the wrong place)
Many Thanks.
Patrick.First let's split the HDD up so both cats can live harmoniously (I also have a twin-cat household in mine so I can tell you it does work). You need to boot off something not on the internal HDD whose partition table you are going to modify. If you have a bootable clone on an external drive, use that. Else concoct a bootable USB Recovery Disk on a flash stick with the Recovery Disk Assistant, as detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848 Also make sure you have a full and complete backup in case all goes South and you end up needing to reformat the drive entirely.
When you have booted as needed, run Disk Utility from the external drive. Choose the drive in the list so the Partitions tab appears, click on that. You'll see your Macintosh HD volume using up all the drive space. Clck and drag from the lower-right corner upwards to shrink the volume. Can only do so if there's unused room left. You will have an empty space left underneath. Click Apply to complete the shrinking. Then click on the plus ( + ) button to create a new volume in the newly freed space. Give it a name, make sure it is OS X Extended (Journaled) and Apply. Ta-da, you now have TWO volumes for your cats.
Now, if you're using the USB Recovery Disk, simply exit out of Disk Utility to return to the top-level menu and be able to choose "Reinstall OS X". Do that now, choosing your new and blank volume as the destination. If my calculations are right, you should be granted access to the default cat originally entitled to your Mac, which would be Lion and what you want.
Try that for now. If the right cat does not float down the wire, we'll do more brainstorming on how to get it. -

I need to repair permissions in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
The Disc Utility didn't fix the problem. Multiple programs are giving me errors that I don't have permission to do certain things. I am using the admin account. I tried the guide that says to use the command line "resetpassword" in Terminal, but that just says it's not a valid command. I'm guessing it's different in Mountain Lion.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’renot going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
