Why doesnt' 11.0.01 read aloud on Mountain Lion

Why doesn't 11.0.01 read aloud on Mac Mountain Lion?

Have a Patriot 64GB stick and after my new MacBook Pro Retina decided to tell me I had removed it too soon. (no, I hadn't) things got wonky with the stick so I formatted it using Disk Utility and Tuxera's NTFS feature so I could copy >4GB files.
After I formatted the stick I started the copy process back to the stick and little files took forever.  I didn't do a bench mark/thoroughput test, but a 1GB file that used to take 2-3 minutes is now sitting at 3 HOURS to complete and even then it will probably increase in time.  Oops, yes, now it says 4 HOURS.
it slowly ticks up 21.2 MB, 21.3 MB, 21.4 MB excruciating to say the least.
I expect the 40+GB I had to take at most 40 minutes ~ 1 Hour, not dog slow like it is.
So I thought maybe there was some issue with the format, I plugged it into a Windows 7 PC and formatted it 'normal/not quick' for NTFS - took about an hour to format.  By now I'm thinking there is something wrong with the stick.
I then copied a 1GB folder to the stick from Win 7 and it took 2 minutes - reasonable.
Ejected it, plugged it into the MacBook Pro Retina and as you see 3 to 4 hours.
I should say before I started the copy I did like Alexander Hood said with the indexing thing opended preferences and dragged the Patriot drive to Privicy then started the copy.
Sitting at 5 hours now.  Gonna cancel it.
I tried both sides of the MacBook just incase perhaps the port was having issues.
I finally got my WD MY Passport and plugged it in (no privacy/index settings with that) and the same file took 3 minutes on the MacBook.
I guess I'll turn in the stick and see if the warranty will cover when a MacBook eats a stick...

    Sorry post did not give me a choice for the mountain lion community.  Buggy support interface.
    Thanks

    Thanks!  I haven't posted many questions (i guess that's a good thing).  
    I did however find an answer to my issue.  It was caused by a third party utility called Totalfinder.  Once uninstalled and my iMac rebooted, the disk image is behaving to its stated permissions.

  • Why facetime can't open in os x mountain lion

    why facetime can't open in os x mountain lion.
    and it always say can't find the facetime server!

    Yeah, you probably need at least $21.50 depending on where you live. In my case, tax is 8.25%, so I would need $21.65 account credit to buy it. If you add a credit card to your account, it will use all of your store credit, then take the remaining dollar or so from your credit card to buy it.

  • Why can't brand new MacBookPro9,1 (OEM Mountain-Lion) boot from Snow Leopard on external drive, or internal partition?

    Why can't brand new MacBookPro9,1 (OEM Mountain-Lion) boot from Snow Leopard on external drive, or internal partition?
    Is this because of hardware changes? Or firmware changes? Or is it just and Apple Inc. administrative fiat?

    @Steve Holton: Sorry Steve, but you're wrong about that one . I'm using 10.8 (purchased and downloaded) on the internal HD of this MBP8,3 (2.2 GHz, 17"), and I am also able to boot into 10.7.4 and 10.6.8 from external FW800 partitions.
    However, I DO have problems with my MBP9,1. It came with 10.7.4 installed and ran fine. Then I purchased and installed 10.8. It ran fine but could no longer boot from 10.7.4 on an external partition. I then reinstalled 10.7.4 on the internal HD and discovered that it is still unable to boot (even 10.7.4) from an external FW800 partition.
    One of Apple's Senior Support Advisors has done some remote troubleshooting but the case is still open and unresolved. An earlier Apple Support case suggested that when, I installed the downloaded copy of 10.8, there had been a "firmware update" (behind the scenes) that is now causing the problems with booting from my external partition(s). This apparently is "a bug": it is not what is supposed to happen.
    So - I believe - "the problem" really has nothing to do with hardware capability. It is strictly about Apple's strategy for "managing its future customer base". If you don't like it - use something else - I am seriously considering Ubuntu as an alternative.
    If there's a hidden caveat in all this it's probably "Read Appple's Licence Agreement VERY Carefully".

  • Why is my iMac (G5) not compatible with mountain lion?

    Why is my iMac (G5) not compatible with mountain lion? I have 4 GB ram (667) and around 90GB hard drive space.

    iMac G5 can only be upgraded to 10.5.8.
    If you have continuing use, you are among the lucky ones.  I purchased many of these used from a company that shut down its American office.  Many of these eventually suffered from the "bad capacitor" problem and required a motherboard replacement from Apple.  I was lucky in that my local Genius bar approved these for no charge, even though Apple's extended warranty had expired.
    My last one was my desktop Mac.  It's power supply failed in 2010 and I paid for a replacement.  In Summer 2011 when its HD failed, I decided it was time to move on and purchaed a Mac Mini, which I continue to run on Lion.

  • Why is my macbook air not compatible with mountain lion?

    When i want to buy montain lion in the app store i get the message that my machine (Macbook air) is not compatible. Why is that and can i do something to solve that problem?

    Because your model is old and does not support the 64-bit EFI ROM requirement to install Mountain Lion. If you meet the 2 GB RAM requirements you could install Lion:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

  • Why do pop email accounts not work with mountain lion?

    Since downloading mountain lion none of my pop accounts will work. Says they are offline.

    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.

  • Why is my macbook pro running slow with mountain lion?

    After installing Mountain Lion, I find navigating, opening programs, etc. is taking more time, why is this?

    Immediately after installing Mountain Lion, your system will be rebuilding the Spotlight index. This should only take a couple of hours at most. If the problem persists you can run diagnostics. I just happen to have written a little diagnostic program recently. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • Why can't I print after upgrading to Mountain Lion with my Canon MF4450?

    I've upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and now I can't print with my Canon MF4450.
    I've already downloaded the new updated drivers from Canon's website and installed them.  I've even tried uninstalling the old printer drivers, completely deleting the printer, and re-installing the printer again.
    Strange thing is, this doesn't happen with ALL apps.  For example, when I use Preview app to print, it hangs and I have to force close the app.  If I use TextEdit app to print, it hangs as well.  Same thing occurs with Notes app.  There's no error messages, it just freezes and hangs until I force it to quit.  However, after I force the app to quit, I get asked if I want to report the issue to Apple.  Here's the details from that error:

  • External drive is read only under mountain lion?

    I have a firewire external drive which is used for Time Machine backups and my iPhoto + iTunes libraries.
    Since installing Mountain Lion, the disc is now reported to be Read Only, meaning none of the three uses above work.
    A quick google search shows that I am not the only one with this roblem.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? Rebooting & remounting the drive both fail to help.
    Looks like a ML bug....
    Omar

    I had the same problem.  Right click on the drive and hit "Get Info".  Under "Sharing and Permissions" make sure everone, especially "everyone" is labeled "read & write".  I did this and it works now.

  • HTML not reading correctly after Mountain Lion Update

    Since I updated to Mountain Lion I am getting a consistent symbol in place of HTML on Safari and Mail ( the 'A' in a box. see the attached image). Firefox works much better than Safari but it still appears, although a lot less.  I haven't found anything about this anywhere I've looked. Anyone have an idea on a fix?

  • Why don't pages and keynote work since mountain lion was reinstalled?

    I just had Mountain Lion reinstalled to fix a problem with reading DVD's. That problem was fixed but now I can't use Pages or Keynote. When I try to open them I get a message saying "files that need iwork are missing" and it says to use the iwork installer to reinstall iwork. So I downloaded and installed iwork 9.2, but pages, numbers and keynote still don't work. Help! I need my documents for work!

    Plus when I tried downloading updates to pages and keynote from the Apple support site, I got a message saying they couldn't be installed because they were from an unidentified developer, not approved by Apple. Huh?

  • Why I can't restore mail backup from Mountain Lion on Maverick ?

    When I use Time Machine to restore my old mails, it doesn't works, shows the backups on the right but I can't click. The Backup was made on Mountain Lion and I installed a clean Maverick.

    Try this. To see all mounted volumes shift - command - c.    Information learned from Linc Davis.

  • Why is the podcast capture app missing from  Mountain Lion?

    According to this link http://support.apple.com/kb/SP654 the podcast capture/publisher apps are included in OS X Mountain Lion but they are in fact NOT there!

    So I just got off the phone with apple and according to the Advisor I spoke with the website is incorrect. Or as they said a typo. Publisher and Capture are not in Mountain Lion and were never meant to be in Mountain Lion. They also said that they were in the process of fixing the website. Funny thing is I bet it does not change. He did give me an app recomendation to use out of the mac store. He said "Podcast Assistant". I am going to download it and check it out.He claimed it was free. If anyone else knows of a good one please let us know. This does suck because I found the apple software easy to use.

  • Why Doesn't My BarCode Scanner Work With Mountain Lion?

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4 and I have two brand new CipherLab 1500 barcode scanners.  When I plug the scanners into a PC, they work fine.  When I plug them into either of my iMacs the scanner light comes on when I pull the trigger, but when I point the scanner at a barcode, the light goes out, there is no "beep" to indicate a successful scan, and not data is displyed (I'm testing it with TextEdit).  The light will not come back on when I pull the trigger again.  I've spoken with CipherLab and they say there's nothing wrong woth the scanners (and I tend to believe them) and that the reason the light doesn't come on when I pull the trigger after attempting to scan a barcode is because the scanner's waiting for a reply from the computer and won't re-scan until it receives one.  CipherLab also says they've tested their scanners on OS X (the tech I spoke with didn't know what version they've tested them up to) and they "work fine."
    Any thoughts?
