What happened to OS X Mountain Lion and why do I now have to have OS X Mavericks?

Has Mavericks really improved on OS X Mountain Lion? i Photo is now in my opinion awful, can't create own borders on photos or include text on photos anymore when using for home printing. Is it possible to uninstall Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion and futther more install an earlier version of i Photo like 3 months back?

Shawn4,
you don’t have to run Mavericks unless you use a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which you apparently don’t.
If you made a backup of your Mountain Lion setup before installing Mavericks, you can just restore it from your backup.
If you didn’t make a backup of your Mountain Lion setup, you can back up your Mavericks setup, overwrite your Mavericks setup with a reïnstallation of Mountain Lion, and then selectively restore from your Mavericks backup the items which you would like to have under Mountain Lion.

  • What happened to my messages page on the website and why do i now have integrated messaging?

    What happened to my messages page on Verizon's website. I used to be able to sit at the computer and text back and forth to whomever I wanted, just like texting from my phone but now it's gone and now it's been replaced with integrated messaging, which I have no use for. Is there anyway I can get the other messaging page back?

    I'm sorry you are no longer able to use the messaging page froggy0412. We are unable to bring back the previous messaging online option. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    After you download it from the App Store it places the upgrade program in your Applications folder.
    Just open your Applications folder and double click the Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and you can begin the installation.

  • What happened to iChat in mountain lion?

    Anyone know where ichat went? I just upgraded and there is no ichat

    HI,
    In Messages Menu > Preferences chose the Accounts icon
    In the list on the left all your iChat type accounts (Screen Names and IDs) should be listed below the iMessages one.
    Click on each in turn and check the "Enable this Account" box is ticked
    (You can also check the Messages Menu > Accounts to see which accounts are logged in)
    From there the setting in the General Settings will either have them in one List (Shown by using CMD + 1 keys together) as as separate Buddy lists revealed by using CMD and a number (1 though however many accounts there are) as seen in the Window Menu.
    I have 8 at present
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    There are two ways to start an "iChat" type Video Chat
    1) The same way you did in iChat by:-
         a) Clicking on a Green Video icon in the Buddy List
         b) Clicking on a  Buddy to highlight and using the icons at the bottom of the Buddy list
         c) Clicking on a Buddy to highlight and then using the Buddies menu > Invite to Video Chat
         d) Right Clicking on a Buddy and and using the menu that pops up
    2) Choosing a Buddy from Buddies in the Blue Plus Icon in the Messages window (rather than Contacts for iMessages) then using the Video icon that replaces the Blue + icon.
    Screen Sharing tends to need the Buddy List to be showing or Converting a Video chat as you might of done before.

  • Updated to Mountain Lion and also updated Aperture now ipad and iphone images are unsupported?

    I've looked all over here and maybe I've missed it, but the only images that are missing or receiving the unsported image are the ones that have been taken with the iphone or ipad. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    I've tried reprocessing the photos and this still doesn't work. The photos that I recently imported from my Canon 60D are fine. Also when my photos re-synced with facebook they are now showing up there as the ! unsupported image on facebook.
    Thanks for any help you may offer.

    Unfortunately, that is a feature and not a bug.
    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See for example these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.
    There are many more threads on this. Browse a little.

  • I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

    Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
    If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

  • HT1338 OS X mountain Lion and ICloud, my bookmarks have automatically been changed to those of my iPad, is there any way to reverse this?

    I recently updated to OS X mountain Lion and activated ICloud, my bookmarks have automatically been changed to those of my iPad, is there any way to reverse this?

    First, you need to go to System Preferences -> iCloud and uncheck the Safari item to prevent syncing bookmarks (among other things) between Safari on your Mac and Safari on your iPad.
    Then you need to restore your bookmarks file from a backup.  To find the bookmarks file, go to your user Library folder (which is now invisible, so hold down the option key and choose Library from the Finder's Go menu), then look in the Safari folder that's in there. There should be a file called Bookmarks.plist. Replace it with an older version from a backup.

  • 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 upgraded my imac to Mountain Lion and my iMac has been painfully slow ever since. Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it?

    I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and it has been painfully slow ever since.  Any ideas on what might be happening and how to fix it?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • HT201240 hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??

    hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??

    Eli,
    You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
    To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
    Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
    One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
    NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area.

Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.
