Why audio sounds different in the Mountain Lion over 10.6
Hi
I just upgraded my system OS 10.6.8 to the latest 10.8.4, and I found that audio on the 10.8.4 sounds different.
I did some tests and I can say that audio when listening on the 10.8.4 has less bass content and the hi-mids are more agressive.
I running the audio studio on my Mac Pro and this was a big dissapointment for me.
Also I rendered audio file from Logic Pro 9 on the both system and they are the same, but when you listening on the 10.6.8 it sounds correct while on 10.8.4 sounds different. I have the same audio drivers from RME Fireface 800 on both systems. In tests I used identical Logic arrangement file on both systems.
I just don't like the sound on the new system at all. It is worse than it was on the 10.6.8.
I switched to the Snow Leopard again and I regret that I puchased your latest OS. Why it is done? Apple?
This may be a topic for either of these other Apple forums to discuss: Other Pro Audio, Logic Pro

HT1338 why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..
why once I start downloading the mountain lion, it is always waiting..
I tried to restart the mac several times. It doesnt work all the same.I found something that fixed the issue for me.
First close the App Store -> then use spotlight to find something called Keychain Access -> go to prefreences in keychain access -> under the Certificates tab navigate to "Certificates Revocation List (CRL): -> change this to off.
Close Keychain Access
Reopen the App Store
Go back to keychain access -> Preferences -> Certifictes tab -> change "Certificate Revocation List (CRL): to "Best Attempt".
Close Keychain Access
Close App Store
Reopen App Store
then naviagte to updates and it downloaded just fine for me.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions. -

Why I can't buy the Mountain Lion ??
Dear Sir
When I go to Mac app store to buy Mountain Lion it show : There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)
Regsrds
[email protected]I have no idea. Perhaps the version in the App Store isn't compatible with your newer machine? I don't know - you should be able to download it free since that's what your model shipped with - you should have to buy it.
I would contact the Mac App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/ - and see what's up.

Why can't I uninstall the Mountain Lion Server?
Background
My windows laptop failed and my iMAC's hard drive was recalled recently. During this time I decided to buy a MacBook Pro and migrate everthing from my Windows laptop. I also bought Airport Extreme. As I got recently unemployed, I wanted to create a private network accessible from my MacBrook and MacBook Air (until I could afford to buy the Mac Mini Server). So I downloaded the Lion Server from the App Store using my MacBook Pro (I didn't realize it would install automatically). So, I redownloaded from my iMac and went through the configuration.
Issues
I was unable to log in using my existing user accounts from the MacBook/Air. I turned on the screen sharing (as I had lots of applications and documents on the iMac). But my firewall reported access to screen sharing service, web service etc from external IP addresses. iMac frequently went into freeze modes (no response to mouse/keyboard) and sometimes blank screen (monitor off). So I turned off screen sharing.
I struggled with finding a way to make the local accounts into network accounts. I even tried adding them to a Network Group. I was unsucessful in being authenticated by the iMac server. The login window always showed "... unavailable ..". I went through and tried all suggestions posted in this site. Nothing seemed to work.
I decided to unistall the Server and do a fresh install. Even here there were no clear documentation/instructions with the server app. According to suggestions here and as per this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4827 article, I removed the turned off all services, deleted the Server.app and also the /Library/Server folder. Rebooted. The iTunes store's purchased page still shows the Server as Installed. I did the same on the MBP and it shows up asInstall.
I don't see any of the server applications in the Activity Monitor. But my firewall reported incoming requests to Kerberos, Port 464, 5000, 625, 749, and Program Linking.
Airport Extreme is letting in external requests. I did not use public domain for my server nor any dynamic dns service.
Questions
How do I remove completely the Server app from my iMac?
The first time I installed the server, I used it to control the Airport Extreme. So how do I reset the Airport Extreme to factory settings (assuming Apple's marketing literature is correct) so that it acts as a barrier between the wild, wild internet and my home network?
Is there better control of the Airport Extreme base station? Like MAC filtering?
How do you elevate existing users on iMac to the level of network users? I want any of my family members to be able to use the MBP or MBA using their own account and see their documents and settings.
Recommendations Solicited
I cannot add a Mac Pro/Mac Mini Server at this point (unless Apple comes out payment plans for the consumers). That is why I purchased the MBP/MBA from BestBuy. So need the best way to use my existing resources to create a small home network for school, development, testing etc.I have captured the install log. Right now I don't have the Sever.app and related files in the system. But log shows the server is running or installed today. I have seen MiniLauncher tag (don't know what it is). And if the server is running, it is not appearing in the Activity log.

I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running mountain Lion 10.8.2
Because line-in has been removed.
It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives). -
Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?
That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS. -

Launch/Utilities/Terminal and enter this command at the prompt:
diskutil list
Press return.
If it sees the disk, note the number of the disk (far left column) you want to mount.
Then, enter this command:
mount /dev/(number of disk)
Put in the number no parenthesis.
Press Return.
If that doesn't wortk try the same with this command...
mount force /dev/(number of disk) -
why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.
As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
With kind regards,

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

The Mountain Lion installer is 4 GB and takes a while to download. When the installer finished downloading it usually opens and presents itself for you to approve the installation of hte operating system.
If the download did not occur, you should be able to download the installer from the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. -
Where's the Mountain Lion Server Documentation?
Been waiting all day for Mountain Lion Server Documentation the be posted to no avail. What gives? Especially need the Mountain Lion Server Upgrading & Migrating manual. I help run a small educational cmoputer center in Santa Cruz CA and we need to transition from 10.5 Leopard Server on an old G5 Power Mac to 10.8 Mountain Lion Server on a new 2012 Mac mini as soon as it goes on sale. We particularly need the Workgroup Manager migration app documentation ASAP. Can any Apple employees explain why the Mountain Lion server documentation is not posted even though you can download the Mountain Lion Server since this morning?
Good Luck in Migrating from 10.5 Server to 10.8 Server... There's soo many changes.. Each time I've upgraded since 10.2.X server, I've always had to manual migrate things. Forget the automated upgraded process since it always hangs for me.
As for 10.6.8 Server, Apple changed the imap/pop server software from cyrus to dovecot. There's a script if I recall somewhere in 10.6.8 Server convert the imap mail of all the users. However before you run that script I recommend that you rebuild the imap structure in cyrus before you do...

Why can't I upgrade to mountain lion from 10.6.8
I am using a Macbook 4,1 (not sure how to identify whether it's early or late 2008).
I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, so I spent $50 getting additional memory in order to be able to upgrade. I installed the extra memory, but the app store isn't letting me download the software because it says it's not compatible with my computer. Could someone help me understand why? I don't want to have wasted $70 on the extra memory & the mountain lion software update.
Here are my specs:
Model: Macbook 4,1
Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Processor: 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Software: 10.6.8
Available space on hard drive: 106.72 GB
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
BenThere are times when the best upgrade to run newer software is to
get a newer computer built to run it; the specifications of hardware
and software are available online as are upgrade specs.
For computer model info, Apple Support has a bit still online; for
more going back some years, see everymac.com or mactracker.ca
At this Support page, you can get some idea of what path one could
use to see what conditionally may be an OS X upgrade option...
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/upgrade/
The vintage issue and obsoletism can affect ideas on how to upgrade
since software requires a minimal level of hardware support and a
degree of higher specs than minimum in order to run more than OS X.
Snow Leopard with 4GB RAM is not a bad place to leave an older Mac.
If you should have software that is not new but still very good, it should
be able to run a few great programs. A later model MacBook Pro could
support other newer software ambitions or application needs.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Cd/dvd rom fail after the mountain lion installation
Recently, I installed os (the mountain lion) on my 2009 mac mini. Data CDs and DVDs are available to see but not working(internal super drive). also every audio cd is not recognized at all. I tried to downgrade os to lion but it does not work too. Therefore, I re-installed ML and wait for Apple's updates.
Some update patches I downloaded a month ago was working good but it became dead again after installing other updates.
I hope Apple staffs would take care of this issue because many customers have purchased mac for its safety, innovation and faithful care.No.
You just need to show the update again.
Go to your account and "Show hidden purchases" or something like that.
You can't delete it. -

Are you running a firewall or anti-viral software that could be corrupting the file as it downloads? If so, disable the software for the Mt Lion download.
