When I open a new program in mountain lion it is not visible in the dock, nor can I select it with cmd-tab.

Any ideas? I'm on a MacBook Air.

I have the same problem as m.proudfoot. Defintiely a bug with the Dock. In addition, when I minimized applications, despite having the preference to minimize windows into the application icon, they would also start minimizing as windows to the right of the dock. I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting the dock. Go to the Terminal Application (in Utilities) and type the following: killall -KILL Dock
That will restart the dock and for me it worked, where all of a sudden three running applications appeared and the CMD + TAB starting working again. Give it a try to see if it helps at least until there is a 10.8.1.
As for what causes it, that I haven't figured out yet, but I have had it occur on 2 different machines, a MacMini and MacBook, both with Mountain Lion. So sure seems like a bug.

When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can't select it from the dropdown

When I open a PDF file and I try to Save As to my shared drive I can’t select it from the dropdown menu. (See screenshot).
When I select on the left side “Computer”, then my shared drive is available. (See screenshot).

Hi staceye,
Where are you creating the PDF file, and what is the error that you're receiving? Is it a file that is saved in your Acrobat.com online account?
Best,
Sara

You'll need to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 7 to regain compatibility. Good luck....

When i open a new illustrator cs6 document color swatches do no appear in the swatch panel. MAC 10.9.3 user

my color swatch do not appear in the swatch panel when i open a new cs6 document. MAC 10.9.3 user

Swatches are included in the New documents profiles that are included in the "Profile" menu. Have you been selecting a profile from there deliberately? What happens if you do so now - select for instance "Print" or "Web"?
If documents still don't contain swatches and you're certain you didn't change the document profiles, then they might have been corrupted.

No vedio when i open online news program

Good day,
I just want to ti inquire what happen to my unit? i used to watch an online news program for about at year now but i observed for about a week noe that everytime i open the same website i can no longer see any features ( vedio) its totally block but the sound is very clear..I remember i download something so that i can see a movie online but i think it was not succesfully done..I can no longer recall what was it... Im worried and i dont have time to bring it to the nearest service center because im busy with my work.. i hope you can help me regarding this matter..
Thank you very much and more power.

Hi Annie,
Check is the following if you are using IE9.
Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options and click the Advanced Tab. Under Accelerated Graphics, make sure there is not a tick against 'Use software Rendering instead of GPU Rendering'. If there is, remove the tick and then click Apply to save the change. Restart IE.
If the above doesn't help ( or doesn't apply ), download the latest installer for Flash Player and save it to your Desktop. Next, close all browsers, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features and uninstall Flash Player if it is showing here. When done, restart the PC. Now double click the installer on your Desktop to reinstall Flash Player.
Another option is to download and install Firefox as a temporary measure, as the latest version of Adobe Flash seems to work OK with this - you may need to run the Flash installer again after installing Firefox.
Regards,
DP-K

Getting black screens when i open a new window through a link or try to look at the menu options.

When i load a new window/click to go to a website, all i get is a black screen. then when i want to look at my bookmarks all i get is a black pop up screen (cant see anything). if i try to navigate to the other tabs open they become black as well

I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.

No Entry Sign when trying to netboot new MacMini to Mountain Lion Server

My company just purchased a new MacMini i5 2.5 GHz and I am trying to netboot it to my Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2 but I am getting the No Entry sign when it tries to boot to the server. I tested my other Mac computers that are in my environment and they are able to netboot to the server fine. It just seems to be an issue with this latest Mac Mini.
As part of my troubleshooting, I created a new netrestore image from the new Mac Mini using System Image Utility on the Mountain Lion Server. The server successfully created it and I set it as the new default image in the NetBoot server. After taking these steps, I am still getting a No Entry sign.
I checked the log on the server to see what is happening when it tries to boot and this is what is displays:
Any ideas?

I'm seeing the same behavior with a new Late 2012 Macmini6,2 (2.3GHz quadcore i7).
I have a lab with several variants of minis up through the last generation. One of those minis is a NetBoot/DeployStudio server. I have it hosting a 10.8.2 NetBoot image, which works for all of the other lab minis but this new one.
I have tried 3 different methods for NetBoot:
Holding the 'N' key at boot
Holding option and seeing my NetBoot disk in the selectable options
Booting into the restore partition and selecting my NetBook disk from the Startup Disk preference pane
All 3 options result in what is described above - the Ghostbusters (minus the ghost) no entry sign. My particular mini then shuts itself down shortly thereafter.
My NetBoot server log looks similar to the above, where my BSD INFORM messages have sysid=Macmini6,2.
I have confirmed that - on the restore partition at least - the shipping OS on the new mini 6,2 is 10.8.1. It's likely a custom edition for this new hardware. It's possible that a component of a 10.8.3 update would fix it, but I'm unfortunately leaning toward this being an EFI firmware issue. I've noted on another site that these minis seem to have issues with VMware's ESXi, where the suggested course of action will be an Apple firmware update: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/423099
As the lab is hoping to purchase 40 of these systems, NetBoot support is rather critical.

I get the wheel of doom when I open Mail, after having installed Mountain Lion.

Ever since I uploaded Mountain Lion, my Mail wont work. I just get the spinning wheel! Any suggestions?

Quit Mail.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Delete the selected file. Relaunch Mail and test. It should re-index your mailboxes.

Reminders made in the mountain lion app are not appearing in the ios app

I installed mountain lion and the reminders app seems to be misbehaving.
I have icloud enabled on my mac and my iphone.
When I create a reminder on my iphone it shows up on my mac in about 30 seconds but when I make one on my mac it never shows up on my iphone. In addition, I made a new list on my mac and when it also didn't show up on my iphone I made a list on my iphone to test and the list created on my mac dissappeared without a trace when the list created on the iphone came through.
Is anyone else having issues with items syncing in the mountain lion reminders app?

Yep. Looks like the function is down. And only for music. Movies, tv etc. work fine. Hadn't noticed until now since I never use genre as a filter.

Mountain Lion isn't letting me use the App Store, Can someone help me?

I thought that mountain lion will be a very useful software upgrade. After I downloaded Mountain Lion, I can't connect to the App Store and I can't turn dictation on. Can someone please help me?

I am having the same problem. There is a glitch with the app store, that non-admins cannot connect to the app store. Try using the admin account overwise i'm not sure on that one.
I have no clue for dictation is it all faded out? That is how mine is, it is probably just a problem with the new software and they will release an upadte for that but if the app store is not working how can we receive the new release?
You'd of thought that apple would of run tests or something to see what happens when you download mountian lion. If i find anything i will keep you informed.

Installing CS4 on Mountain Lion, CD is not recognised by the maschine

I recently got a hard drive on my macbook pro replaced with loosing all applications, so I have to reinstall them. Previously there were no problems installing premium CS4 suit, which I purchased and installed in 2009. But this time, even though application 1 cd runs perfectly, and at the point when it requires to insert cd2, and when I do so, my computer sees it as blank cd, and the installation quits. What is wrong with it now? As I've been told by your representatives that it is competable with Mac OS X 10.8. Tried to install 5 times, restarted computer, checked the cd is not damaged and remained unused for 3 years.
thank you.

download the trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
if you see an access denied page, you didn't follow all the directions for downloading.
use your serial to install/activate.
you should deactivate (help>deactivate) the copy on your dying machine.

When i try to charge my iPod it doesnt do nothing not even in the computer nor with normal electricity. some help me?

my ipod doesnt charge, and doesnt work not even in my computer.

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book? Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

When I open a new app, it does not appear in the dock.

After upgrading to mountain lion, apps don't appear on the dock when I open them. I also am not getting new mail notifications on my mail icon. I've checked preferences>notifications and everything seems to be right.

Don't know why...restarted...logged in as guest...logged in as me. Problem solved.

When I open a new program in mountain lion it is not visible in the dock, nor can I select it with cmd-tab.
