What's Happened To Mountain Lion??

I've had to completely re-build my i-Mac after a download of OS 9 Mavericks destroyed my system. (As many people are reporting, see all the 'one-star' reviews on the Mavericks page at Apple).
I re-installed 10.6. Snow Leopard - for which I had the discs. I now want to download Mountain Lion, which I originally purchased from the App Store last year.
Mountain Lion appears as a purchase in my App Store account, but when I try to download it I get a message 'This software is not available on the UK App Store'.
Does anyone know what I can do about this? As I paid for ML I think I ought to be able to download it. (Particularly as its replacement is unusable at the moment).

I talked to Apple Support in the US. It seems the link to Mountain Lion has been removed from the App Store right now, in the UK at least (maybe other countries too - not sure) which I thought was a bit of a thoughtless move, espesially as people paid for it, and as Mavericks seems to be causing so many people trouble.
However, Apple indicated they may be going to restore the link to Mountain Lion on the App Store soon. Maybe this is because of the Maverick issue and people wanting to 'roll back' to ML.
I will keep following this and post again.

Format my MacBook. What happens to Mountain Lion?

Dear all,
I think it's time to format my MacBook Pro. It came with OS X Lion, but when Mountain Lion came out I upgraded (and payed for it). Now, if I format my MacBook without DVD, through recovery disk will I be able to get Mountain Lion again? Or do I have to pay for it again?
Sorry if it's a simple question, but I've tried the web and nothing helped.
Thanks in advance

I have hardly ever found a valid reason to reformat a drive in a Mac unless you are selling it.
What do you think you are going to gain by doing that.
I am running on an image that was originally Snow Leopard. It was then upgraded to Lion which was upgrade to Mountain Lion. I am having no problem even with three upgrades.

What happened to Mountain lion QuickTime player audio

How come the Mountain Lion QuickTime Player plays audio like having a phase swap effect?
It's not natural, and maybe this is a new bug?
All other players like iTune and QuickTime 7 and the Real Player are ok.
Why?

What's up with mountain lion?

Power Pc applications are no longer supported, what's up with this? I feel cheated, I have lost a lot of things I used on my mac, now I will have to purchase new Items. I think this is why they do these things so people will have to spend money. Very ******

It is hard to take this post serious, but in case it is, here is a recent post I assembled for another Mac user fond of his PowerPC software:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
4. Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753).
FYI: I used to suggest that the installation of Snow Leopard (client) into Parallels, due to the original high cost of Snow Leopard Server: $499+ That problem is avoided now with the new availability of low cost Snow Leopard Server.
Snow Leopard client installation instructions still available here:

Macbook air locks up instead of standby. Cannot wake with screen black and no sound. Have to hold power button for total restart. Happened with Mountain Lion and Maverick

I've had this issue since first buying my MBA mid-2013. Instead of going to standby, which works 98% of the time, every now and again it appears to go into standby with the screen black, but no amount of key pressing or mouse moving will wake it up. I am forced to hold down power button for a manual restart and faced with losing work. This problem has occured whilst using Mountain Lion and still occuring since updating to Maverick.

Hi there, GoreLeech,
as per above extract from your error log, you have experienced a kernel panic due to problems with your Nvidea GeForce GT 330 M graphics card that has a 256 MB memory.
This may be due to the card not having enough memory for what you are doing, the only thing, I can suggest here is to call Apple, and get the machine checked out. You can run the Apple hardware test at home but I'd recommend getting it booked in with Apple. What is worse: A computer that randomly malfunctions, or doing without it for up to one week (often they repair it within a day!)?

Downloading mountain lion it has been downloaded but now shoes calculating and nothing happening, downloading mountain lion it has been downloaded but now shoes calculating and nothing happening

Downloaded Mountain Lion the download of 4.4 Gb is complete but it shows calculating and nothing seems to be happening

If you force quit the installer, you might want to consider making a copy of the installer and moving the copy out of your Applications folder. The installer self destructs when the installation is complete and a copy would keep you from having to download the installer again. You could also consider making a bootable DVD/USB installer so you can delete the copy off your hard drive. The program is free and does all the work for you.

What to do if Mountain Lion keeps on freezing randomly?

I've encountered this problem for 3 times in the last 24 hours. I just browse random sites then suddenly my screen wouldn't respond. My cursor can still be moved though but other than that, I can barely much do nothing. So I have to force restart my MBP.

I just browse random sites then suddenly my screen wouldn't respond.
Reinstalling the OS X rarely fixes a browser issue.
If you are using Safari..
From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History
Deselect all the other boxes. Click Reset. That also empties the Safari cache.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Now 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/Safari
Click Go then move the following files from the Safari folder to the Trash.
LastSession.plist
History.plist
Downloads.plist
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

I tried downloading mountain lion to my new macbook and now it isn't there. What did I do wrong?

I recently bought a new macbook and went to download the upgrade to mountain lion. It showed it was downloading and then showed installing 2 items. Today I checked in "about my macbook" and apparently i still have just lion, not mountain lion. What happened?

Mountain Lion is not an automatic install as part of the App Store download. It puts the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer in /Applications, then automatically launches a dialog expecting you to click "Continue." Once you click continue, it will go through the upgrade process, installing ML, and then delete the previously mentioned installer from /Applications.
If the ML download was successful, the installer should still be found in /Applications.

Previewing audio in Mountain Lion is slow and choppy

Hi!
I'm a music producer and therefore i have countless gigabytes of drum snippets. Now, on my old macbook that runs snow leopard i can browse through all the audio files super quick (by hitting space and go into preview mode), but when i got my imac with mountain lion i just cant do it anymore. What happens in mountain lion is that it takes like 1 second to load one audio file.. Which is unacceptable since i have thousands of files.. And if i'm preview one file then jump to another one, then jump back, it kind of start previewing in the middle of that sound. SUPER FRUSTRATING! I'm sorry for the bad description of my problem, but maybe if any of you experience the same problem and know a solution, please let me know.
Thanks

EDIT: Also, if a audio snippet is very short, mountain lion will just skip it, it won't even play.

Old Lion Finder bug reappears in Mountain Lion -- lost options

There were a number of problems with the Finder View options under Lion which were fixed bit-by-by, upgrade-by-upgrade.
In general, folder placement was scrambled and view options were lost/reset after certain operations.
Now, with Mountain Lion, some of these problems have resurfaced:
-- I use Show View Options to increase the size of icons and to set the background of a folder to a color
-- I use Mail to attach a file from this folder via the Attach window
When I return to the folder after sending my Mail message, icon size and background color have been reset to default.
In Lion, the Always Show in Icon View option was also reset.
So far this hasn't happened in Mountain Lion.
Anyone else haveing this problem?

I tried and don't see any issues. When you say the "Attach" window, what does that mean? Do you mean the "Share" contextual submenu or button (or does it translate to "attach" from another localization)?
If it is something other than Share submenu, then is that a third-party program that provides that function?
You might consider deleting the .DS_Store file from that folder. Various utilities can remove them, like OnyX, or you can use the Terminal.

Snow Leopard v Mountain Lion?

Wondering what the advantages of Mountain Lion are?

It may be that Apple will issue another security update for 10.6, but no one should be thinking that, because it's still being sold or because it's the gateway to the App Store, or that its user base is still around 19%, it will necessarily continue to be supported.
If that is the case, time for Apple to increase its liability insurance or hire better lawyers!
WZZZ wrote:
...And it seems likely that at least some of those vulnerabilities may be present in 10.6, despite some of the differences in architecture.
Right now, it remains vulnerable.
First you say "...vulnerabilities may be present..." and then you say "... it remains vulnerable." Guess that covers 100% of the possibilities, but does not really do much other than to confuse current Snow Leopard users.
WZZZ wrote:
Apple has never formally announced discontinuance of support for an OS. It has only become clear when further updates have not been issued in a long time.
We have never been in the situation before where, for example, a portal to the App Store was only available in one version of OS X (Snow Leopard) and you cannot obtain a later version of OS X without access to the earlier version of OS X (Snow Leopard). Once that situation is changed, Apple can abandon updates to Snow Leopard.
WZZZ wrote:
The last security update 10.6 received was back in September, 2013, so, while it may happen, I wouldn't be betting the ranch on another one.
Can't tell you why there have been no updates since the last one: I gave up trying to prove a negative a long time ago...

So anybody ready to try Mountain Lion?

I have M-audio Fast Track and Mainstage 2.2. I'll let you know what happens

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and experienced what could have been a much bigger problem. Luckily I only began using Mainstage recently and didn't have much to lose. Let me explain what happened.
I recently began playing with a new band as guitarist and aux keyboards. I decided to use Mainstage for all of my guitar patches, keyboard sounds, and also backing tracks for the band.
I created my first concert in Mainstage (v 2.1.3) prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion. The concert consisted of about 7 patches, 2 of which contained Playback tracks. Everything was working fine.......until I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Upon first launch of Mainstage in Mountain Lion, the program became unresponsive while loading up my concert. It appeared to freeze while loading "Playback" items. I forced quit and relaunched. When relaunched Mainstage did not try to open up the previouse concert, and instead took me to the quickstart window. I tried to open my concert manually, and again experienced the same issue.
My next step was to create a new concert and replicate my previous concert. Everything seemed OK until the next time I went to open Mainstage. Now I couldn't open the new concert.
Very odd, but I did find a fix......kinda.
I ended up deleting all of the Mainstage pref files, and everything is working fine now. My old concert is useless though. But now I can atleast create new ones.
Anyone else experience anything like this?
