Why doesn't Help work in Mountain Lion

Keep getting topic unavailable message. Other computer running Lion works fine so not an ISP issue.
Repaired permissions with Disk Editor and Onyx (there were no issues)
What is going on here

Have you installed the newest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store? And are you running it out of /Applications and not the verssion that might still be on your system in /Developer

Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
Any clues?

Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout. Open Terminal and type:
killall Dock
This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
Cheers

Why has Mail stopped working in Mountain Lion?

I installed Mountain Lion and Mail was working. 2 days later Mail stopped. No longer getting IMAP messages via Gmail. No account listed for RSS feeds. ISO a down to earth manual for using new OS 10.8.

Question resolved by time. Must have been some sort of system glitch. All working fine now with no action on my part.

HT3258 why won't parallel work with Mountain lion

I just downloaded Mountain Lion, but the parallels program isn't working... I have to have parallels for school... do I need to go back to Lion or is there another fix?

Update here:

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
BTW I am current on the latgest version.
Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.

Canon CAPT 355 doesn't work for Mountain Lion

SInce I installed Mountain Lion onto my MacBookPro I can't print to my Canon LBP5050N. I've install CAPT 355 that Canon claims will work for Mountain Lion but it doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling all my older driver and installing CAPT 355 but that doesn't work either.

The ccpd.conf file is still
# Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS Configuration Data
<Path>
# CUPS configuration files Path
# Default /
CUPS_ConfigPath /
# LOG Directory Path
#LogDirectoryPath /var/log/CCPD/
</Path>
# Printer entries
# Mapping each "Printer-Name" to "Printer Device Port".
# The "Printer-Name" has to be identical to the CUPS printer queue name.
# For example, if you prepare a printer named "LBP3200" as a CUPS printer
# queue name, and the printer is connected to the USB port "/dev/usb/lp0",
# you can use the following three lines example just by removing the
# comment symbol "#" of each line.
#<Printer LBP3200>
#DevicePath /dev/usb/lp0
#</Printer>
<Ports>
# Status Monitor API socket port
# Default PORT 59787
UI_Port 59787
</Ports>
# Backend Data API socket port
# Default PORT 59687
PDATA_Port 59687
</Ports>
I've tried putting in
<Printer Canon_LBP5050N>
DevicePath lpd://192.168.1.152
</Printer>
manually but no success in getting the results. I've even tried changing the preference file org.cups.printers to include
<string>cnbma://localhost:59687/</string>

Adesso wireless mouse doesn't work in Mountain Lion.

My Bluetooth Adesso iMouse S100 doesn't work in Mountain Lion. It barely moves and constantly halts as if its driver is continuously interrupted. It is unusable. It worked beautifully in Snow Leopard.
I don't believe the problem is in the mouse, but just for completeness the batteries are full strength. The Bluetooth control panel signal strength for the mouse ranges from -50 to -48, which may be low but I'm pretty sure was the same in Snow Leopard.
Has anyone experienced and have a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

A mouse pad solved the problem. The Ikea Lack table I'm using is the source of the problem. Its table top surface is apparently scattering the mouse's laser and not reflecting it back properly. I have not experienced this problem with any other table I've used, wood, Formica, et al.

Can someone tell me why Apple cannot produce a Scabble game that works on Mountain Lion. So frustrated that this is not happening with all the technology available.

The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
You need to be speaking to those two companies.

Speak Sender Name Only AppleScript in Mail No Longer Working In Mountain Lion

Hi all, the title pretty much says it all.
I have a very simple AppleScript that I use as a rule in Apple Mail everytime new email comes in.
This AppleScript will speak only the sender's name. That's all I want it to say.
I there are two emails, it will say, "Mail From John Smith" followed closely by "Mail From Johnny Appletree", etc.
This works great in Lion as a Mail rule.
I have properly placed this AppleScript in the correct path for Mail scripts.
It's located in:
(user name)/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail
I've popped in the sample script provided by Apple into this same path that speaks the total number of selected emails, the name and the subject, etc. That works fine, so I'm positive the path is correct. But that script says a bunch of items I don't need. I just need a simple script and I'm guessing somehow the conversion from Lion to Mountain Lion doesn't work for some reason with this script.
Anyone know how to modify this supposedly simple script to make it work in Mountain Lion?
Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
Here is the script I had been using in Lion as a Mail rule without any issues before Mountain Lion:
on perform_mail_action(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
          set itunes_playing to false
          tell application "System Events"
                    if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
                              set itunes_playing to false
                    else
                              tell application "iTunes"
                                        if player state is playing then set itunes_playing to true

          end tell
-- pause iTunes if needed
          if itunes_playing is true then tell application "iTunes" to pause

                    repeat with a_message in the_messages
                              set the_sender to extract name from sender of a_message
                              if (junk mail status of a_message) is not true then
                                        say "Mail from " & the_sender
                              end if
                    end repeat

This script should work, try it :

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.

Does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion

does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion?

No, I didn't find your post helpful.
I'm well aware that FileMaker does not indicate compatibility between FileMaker Pro 9 and Mountain Lion. However, in my experience, "compatibility" is a somewhat ambiguous term -- lack of compatibility doesn't mean that FM Pro 9 won't run under ML. There may indeed be some feature in FM Pro 9 that won't work properly -- but that doesn't mean that the app as a whole is, for example, unusable.
As another example, I believe that Roxio lists that Toast Titanium 9 won't run under Mountain Lion, either, but it seems to run just fine for me ;-)
Hence my question: has anyone tried?

Pages not working since Mountain Lion Installation

I just opened a document I created in 2010, and got an error message when trying to save changes: "Can't save, print, or export documents until the iWork 30-day trial has been activated." I have been using iWork 09 for quite a long time (I have version 4.2)...I installed Mountain Lion about 4 days ago and this is the first day I've been in Pages since. I don't know why I'm getting this error when '09 is installed on my computer and I've been using a paid version of iWork since for years. I have not discovred instances where other people have had this issue after installing Mountain Lion, but wanted to ask here. Thank you.

Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.

Pkg's made by PackageMaker from Xcode4.2 stopped working after Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade!

We have some pkg's that used to install fine across Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
Those pkg's were made from PackageMaker that came with Xcode4.2.
Since last week's Mountain Lion 10.8.1 upgrade, the pkg's preflight/postflight scripts stopped working
on Mountain Lion machines, but still work with Lion and Snow Leopard.
The current workaround we use is to produce the pkg using PackageMaker that comes from Xcode4.4 auxiliary tools.
These pkg's work fine on all mentioned OS X.
I think this should be either a bug in 10.8.1 upgrade or a change of policy.
Can someone reproduce and clarify?
Thanks!

You are not alone!!
Same problem with Plantronics.
I just bought their Audio 648 Stereo USB Headset and have exactly the same issue you mention at the outset:
Essentially, while my [Plantronics Audio 648] Headset is recognized in the list of devices in System Preferences > Sound, it doesn't do anything in terms of outputting or inputting audio
So Apple, what are you going to do?...
A lot of third party accessory manufacturers must be getting quite frustrated at the numer of complaints they get from Mac users, when it seems its the Mac OS which is to blame...
