Where is the iTunes Widget in Mountain Lion?

On the Apple website, it states there are several pre-installed widgets with Mountain Lion, including the iTunes widget (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11233). However, when I open the dashboard, I cannot see the iTunes widget that I used to use all the time on Snow Leopard for playing iTunes songs/playlists etc...
I was able to download the iTunesTan widget from the Dashboard Widgets page of the Apple site (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/?r=dbw). It works in a similar way, but what about the Apple version, is that still available?

Having done a bit more digging online, it seems that the iTunes widget was discontinued as of Lion. I intend to contact Apple Support to confirm this... but for now, it seems the closest thing to the iTunes widget that actually works on Mountain Lion is the "iTunesTan" widget.
This link provides a second link to a download of the iTunes widget taken from Snow Leopard: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/19088/how-do-i-get-the-itunes-play-cont rol-widget-back-in-dashboard
If you have backups of a Snow Leopard system, you can also get a copy of the widget from your backup... but I have done that on Mountain Lion and the widget fails to work, so unfortunately the iTunes widget appears to be obsolete as of Mountain Lion.

How can I reinstal the calendar widget on Mountain Lion?

My app cleaner accidentally deleted an important component of the Calendar widget on Mountain Lion. The widget didn't work any more (no dates in it) so I deleted it.
I've re downloaded the Mountain Lion installer and tried to extract the widget using Pacifist. But I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Reinstalling system components is almost never the solution to any problem with OS X. A common cause of your problem is the following:
Avatron - Air Display on Lion with NVIDIA 9400/9600

Where is the stretched resolution in Mountain Lion?

Usually to play a game or something I change it to a lower resolution like 1024x768 and make the resolution stretch. Unfortunately they don't have stretched screen anymore... The black bars are bugging me, a lot. Is there any way to have stretched screens? I miss that feature.
Any answer is appreciated! Have a nice day!

Where are the quicktime codecs in mountain lion?

Where is the quicktime folder containing the codecs located?
I want to delete some codecs that might be conflicting with After Effects.

I'm such an idiot. Because I had the HD hidden from my sidebar I wasn't even looking there.
I was making it more complicated than it needed to be.
Thanks!

Where can I learn how to setup and use the new features in Mountain Lion?

MacWorld has a Superguide, TidBITS has Take Control books, and probably a flock of other publishers have physical books.

I am installing the latest update on Mountain lion. ( Itunes) . Screen went light gray, no progress bar, and is been running for about two hours. Help!

I am installing the latest update for Mountain lion (the iTunes update) . The screen went light gray, with no progress bars, and has remained that way for several hours. Help!

In this case, hold the Power button until your computer turns off, and then, turn your Mac on again. It looks like your computer got stuck during its restart, so it shouldn't harm anything on your computer

Itunes hangs with itunes match in Mountain Lion

Right!
I've seen all the "Itunes hanging" issues that Apple is choosing to ignore. So I'm adding my bitter experience to this too!
I have:
Re-installed Mountain Lion, tried to run the latest version of itunes, and pulled down my cloud stored library. It hangs itunes, then hangs Mountain Lion.
I have:
Created a new user, and tried to do the same....it hangs itunes...then hangs the computer.
I have:
Tried using the rescue partition, and it ....yes, youve guessed it hangs itunes, and hangs the computer.
I don't have wirless on, and am using a network cable. I've tried using wifi....
My machine is:
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 12 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
I'm a film editor and photo-journalist hence the amount of ram.
Allof this started when Apple released Mountain Lion.....IT ALL WORKED BEFORE!
Can the developers figure out what is happening, or are they focusing their efforts on trying to create the next rich experience pioneered by Mr.Ives.
Fed up with this, I used to be proud of using Apple, however, I'm starting to like the look of Windows 8.
Any ideas?
Cheers

If you've installed the Mac OS X Mountain Lion and want to restore your MacBook to factory settings, what do you do?

Havinig a lot of problems with my MacBook since I've upgraded to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion program. Can someone tell me if it's possible to reset my computer back to factory settings?

Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
              on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

Where do I download OS X Mountain Lion?

It's JULY 25! I've been waiting up for this. However, the application "OS X Mountain Lion" is not available in the app store? Where is it?

ok, maybe I have a different problem? I go to apple.com and it says to go to app store to download mtn lion; I try to FIND app store and can't! Next I try this: (FIrefox vs 15.0.1)
From this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/
click on UPGRADE NOW and get this result:
The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (macappstore) isn't associated with any program.
You might need to install other software to open this address.
Next I try a different browser: Chrome (vs 21.0.1180.89)
I chose this addr: http://www.apple.com/mac/
I click on link for "OS X Mountain Lion is here, now avail on the mac app store for just $19.99" so I click that...
-then at top right is blue tab for "upgrade now" so I click that...
-then it says it's "mac app store preview- OS X Mtn Lion" with all the descriptions and customer reviews!
-then under the icon of lion I click "view in mac app store' and NOTHING HAPPENS!
So someone PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE PLACE TO BUY THIS SOFTWARE!

HT201178 With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will there be support for a late 2006 iMac (currently running OSX Lion

With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?

Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware.

ITunes crashes in Mountain Lion virtual machine under Mavericks host

I have been trying to test iTunes 11 under Mountain Lion in a VM running under Mavericks using the 30-days demo mode of Fusion 6, so that I can make a purchase decision.
Each time I have tried to conduct the necessary tests, iTunes crashes in the Mountain Lion VM.
The crash report shows that it is an Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP).
These crashes have happened after each of three occasions that I've created a brand new VM and then installed Mountain Lion in it.
The crashes consistently and reliably happen after I click the Accept button in iTunes' splash screen or after I click any of iTunes' menubar items.
The VM has no third-party apps; I've only created the VM, installed Mountain Lion (on two occasions updated to 10.8.5 using the combo updater; on the third, left it at 10.8.3 as installed), and then installed VMWare Tools.
On two of the three occasions, during the installation process, I chose "Mac OS 10.8" from the list of guest Mac OS versions because "Mac OS 10.8-64 bit" was not one of the options.
On the third occasion, I chose "Mac OS 10.7-64 bit" and renamed the VM to "Mac OS 10.8-64 bit."
I am using Mountain Lion's "InstallEDS" disk image file from the factory installation that came with my MacBook Pro with Retina display (which I subsequently updated to Mavericks).
Can someone please point me in the proper direction for getting this VM prepared so that iTunes launches properly?
Many thanks in advance!

This problem evidently is related to VMWare Tools.
I created a second virtual hard drive in the Fusion VM, cloned a vanilla Mountain Lion installation to the second virtual hard drive, and then launched Mountain Lion iTunes in the VM without installing VMWare Tools.
iTunes behaved normally; I could click the Agree button in the splash screen and access iTunes' menubar items normally.
After installing VMWare Tools, I launched iTunes and it became very unstable; clicking any menubar item or just resizing the application's window resulted in iTunes quitting unexpectedly.
I then uninstalled VMWare Tools using the uninstall application.
iTunes then behaved normally again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to install VMWare Tools without compromising iTunes' stability?

Where is low battery warning in Mountain Lion?

Lion used to give low battery power alerts which I do not find after Mountain lion upgrade. Is it still there or...???

It kicks in at 3% on my 2011 MBA, I have seen reports that the % at which it appears can vary quite a lot, from 16% to 3%.
Speculation would be it depends on the fitnesss of the battery?

My rMBP's battery had fallen to 3% before I noticed it, and I never saw any popup warning. I was not running anything fullscreen (just firefox covering part of the screen).
Running your battery down to these very low charge levels will shorten its life, try to avoid discharging to less than 40%, try to stay on AC power as much as you can (all the time is better than your current useage profile) and only let it discharge when there is no other choice.

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 on my Macbook6,1 from Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Will this affect the performance of my computer in a negative way, and if the benefits outweigh it? Thanks.

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

Disable anti virus software.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion as well as third party download managers.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows
