Vnc wont wake up the mountain lion imac from sleep

after installing mountain lion, vnc wont wake up the imac from sleep. once awake, it works fine  any ideas?

Does your Mac have a wireless connection? Because if this is the case, wake up for LAN access seems to have stopped working altogether with Mountain Lion.

  • HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

    I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

    Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
    Thanks for the quick reply!

  • Mountain Lion Freezes From Sleep Mode

    It seems like Mountain Lion is going into this "kernel" panic mode after I try to bring my computer back from sleep mode.  That thing everyone a lot of people talking about where it locks up and you can't force quit anything or do anything except watch the spinning beach ball and move between open applications.

    For what its worth I have tried removing all peripherals and see if it does it and it still does it.   This behavior doesn't happen to me at all while using the machine normally, only when I am coming back from sleep mode.   When I upgraded it didn't list any incompatible software.    Also I am noting that after a few trys I can relaunch finder but the spinning beach ball remains.   I was thinking that it was something like Windows Explorer crashing but it seems lower level problem then that.   There is something hanging and it doesn't seem like an application.   Seems like something in the OS, well, obviously because this wasn't happening before I upgraded.   I am just going to shut my machine down after I am doing using it for now so I am not hard resetting it four times per day.  Has anyone else seen this behavior?

    Okay, it has been over 30 hours since my iMac has done this.    It doesn't have that problem where it sits and spins any more.   My workaround is to go into System Preferences, Energy Saver, and slide the Computer Sleep all the way to NEVER.   I still put my display to sleep same time though.  And I also uncheck Put Hard Disks to Sleep When Possible.    That seems to have done the trick for me.    I have done nothing else to remedy this and my rig would freeze up on my three times per day so there you have it.    Hopefully they will fix whatever issue is plaguing the sleeping computers.   I know there are alot of them out there set that why by default.

  • Other way to download the Mountain Lion

    Is there any other way to download OSX Mountain Lion, because my Internet connection is very slow and when i pause the download and when trying to continue later, it is starting again from the beginning. So can anyone suggest with other alternative.

    Other than taking your MacBook to some place with a faster Internet connection, or using someone else's computer to purchase and download Mountain Lion and then copying the ML installer to your computer (make sure you log out of your App Store account and delete the Mountain Lion installer from that computer when you've copied it) there is no other way. Mountain Lion is only available via download from the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

  • Downloading Mountain Lion upgrade from App Store failed

    I'm upgrading my wife's iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion. Just tried to download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the App Store. I paid for it, clicked on the download, the little icon did it's fancy leap down to the application bar at the bottom of the page, and the item in the app store said it was downloading as well as the white bar beneath the icon in the app bar at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happened. I left the computer and came back about ten minutes later. The app store had crashed. Rebooted it. Tried the download process again. Same result.
    I paid about $20 for the system software upgrade so I would like, if possible, to use the app store item if I can. Is there a solution without a trip to the Apple Store to buy the system upgrade?
    John Kendrick

    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

  • When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect.  I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects.  I am running Lion 10.7.3  Any thoughts?

    When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect.  I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects.  I am running Lion 10.7.3  Any thoughts?

    Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

  • After Bootup it wont back in normal Mountain Lion Osx, Longer start up time nothing normal

    it was been unplug the power and put plug the power on back in and hit IMac turn power on while the Mountain Lion boot up but wont be back normal which
    taken sooo Long cannot be back normal  isnt same as Snow Leopard can do no problem exception Lion huh ? Can anyone know what to do ? to resolve the problem getting back normal Mountain Lion during start boot up time ?

    Remove any items in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    Same for   HD > Library > StartupItems
    Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
    Click your Apple icon top left in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select click Storage from the menu.
    Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space. Not enough free space can slow down the startup time.

  • When starting up a Mountain Lion iMac, it takes along time before network logins are available.

    When starting up a Mountain Lion iMac, it takes along time before network logins are available. There seems to be a huge delay getting the network up and running, and I'm not sure why. This isn't an issue for identical iMacs running Snow Leopard.
    If I login with a local account, I see the ethernet registered as disconnected for at least a minute, then it pops up. If I switch to Snow Leopard, using the exact same hardware, network cable, jack, etc, it's instant.
    Has anybody encountered anything similar?

    No. I have a rMBP and a Mac Mini on a home LAN. The Mac Mini is connected via ethernet and the rMBP is WiFi. Both connect instantly to my network. Both are running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

  • Mountain Lion OS from the App Store

    I purchased mountain lion os from the app store for my laptop but also want to upgrade my imac from lion to mountain lion. When I went to the mountain lion app to purchase it again for my desktop it did not give me the option to buy only to download. I thought we would have to purchases two copies of the OS for each device, is that incorrect?

  • I have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade, Do I have to download Snow Leopard before download the Mountain Lion?

    I have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade, Do I have to download Snow Leopard before download the Mountain Lion?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

    It's hard to give accurate advise without knowing exactly which iMac model you have?
    However, beware that your iMac must meet both Processor and RAM requirements.
    OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
    General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Also note that while 2GB of RAM is the minimum requirment, you will be much happier with 4 GB or more.
