Why is my iMac always ejecting cd's with mountain lion os?
Since updating my OS to Mountain Lion almost every cd I insert into my iMac ejects. There's nothing wrong with the cd's & can be read on another iMac we have with an older OS. Not really happy about this aspect of the new OS & I hope someone will be able to assist me with my delima.
Thanks!
Sorry to hear, are you still having a problem?

IMac external display not working with mountain lion
I have an iMac 3.4 Intel Core i7, have used an external monitor for a program for ever. Upgraded to Mountian Lion and no more external monitor.
Update/Fixed - I talked with Apple support via phone since I had 90 days of complimentary support. After describing my troubleshooting the rep recommended reinstalling 10.9. I did that this morning and the remote monitor is back in service. So it appears something broke in 10.9 that is fixed by the re-install. It would be nice to know if it's a simple preference that could be trashed. But it looks like hardware is not the issue.

I am having a problem with Iphoto. When I import photos from the photo stream it duplicates all the photos and graphics on the machine. I started out with about 4,000 that I transfered from my PC and what has been downloaded from the cloud from my wifes' Ipad. Now I have over 27,000 it is rapidly filling up my backup drive. Any suggestions would be appericated.
Thanks BarryI should clarify that I am using a MacBook Pro, not Powerbook (if that's the proper nomenclature).

Always running the fan with Mountain Lion
Anyone notice that your MacBook is running the fan far too often under Mountain Lion? Apple needs to fix this. Or is there a fix?
Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck. -
Why won't my iphone 4 and mac with mountain lion sync my messages?
I am trying to continue a conversation from my iphone to my mac. It doesn't work like icloud pushing my e-mails and songs from one to the other. That works just about perfectly. But for imessages I can't get it to work. I even turned my caller ID to my email address. It really doesn't work well at all. Am I doing something wrong? And more importantly, IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE?
Thank you!IF all of you guys were running the Messgaes Beta under Lion, before you moved up to Mountain Lion, that may be the culprit.
At any rate, do the following:
Under Messages application, DELETE the account that is not syncing.
Should just be your Apple ID'd account.
Do this by going into Messages/Preferences/Accounts,
Selecting the account in the sidebar and pressing the minus sign at the bottom of the sidebar.
Quit Messages
Then under the Finder menu at the top of your desktop, navigate to:
Library/Preferences folder. To do so, while selecting the Go menu item, press the Alt key, and the Library will list.
Select it
Inside the Preferences folder, locate all the files that have
com.apple.imagent
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
And drag them to the trash.
Now Open the Messages application and add your Apple ID account using the plus sign, under Messages/Preferences/Accounts.
If you also deleted the files above that had FaceTime in them, you will need to open that app an re enter your Apple ID account info there too.
All Messages "syncing" should now work. -

if you have internet sharing on imac with Mountain Lion its stil problem with sleep mode ! why ???
Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide. In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?
Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk. -

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 does my iMac with Mountain Lion fail to print.
My iMac with Mountain Lion fails to find my 2 networked printers on 50% of the occasions I try to print. Even though I have earlier switched the iMac on, the only way I can get the iMac to see the printers is to restart the iMac? After that I have no more probs. Leaving the iMac on standby overnight doesn't seem to help as the problem frequently re-occurs the next day
The Brother Laserjet printer and iMac are cabled to my router, while the HP Photoprint uses wi-fi connection. There is a PC/Windows 7 also on the network which shares the printers.
I seem to get no help from the Printer utilities in system preferences.
Any suggestions what I need to do to eliminate this apparent breakdown in communication between the printers and my iMac.Hello Mike17swr,
Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model of Photosmart printer that you have connected, but I have included a link below with some great t-shooting steps to help identify the issue. Good Luck!

Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for an early 2009 iMac 20" with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 ?
Thank You,
leetruittBarney, William, nbar, Galt\'s Gulch:
A nephew stayed with us to take a course at the local community college last semester. I allowed him use of my mac for research just after I installed Mountain Lion. He decided to "help out" and ran a 3rd party clean and tune up app., Magician. The tune up wiped over 1200 titles of my music in iTunes, also a path of folders with names containing nothing but more empty folders with names. Almost every program I open and run for a short time crashes, also folders and programs are in wrong places, or cannot be located (the nephew, for instance). Up to this time I have always been able to track a problem far enough to resolve it by careful persistence and good luck, but I do not have the tech savvy to solve this one without getting in deeper. I have run disk utility saveral times and always get variations of this:
ACL found but not expected on
"private/etc/resolve.conf"
"private/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel"
"private/etc/rabbd/sites-enabled/control-socket"
Also, after four years of intense daily use it is cluttered with much junk, and every app that I was curious about, and I am a very curious guy.
So I know my limits, (and now my nephew). I dumped my pc for a Strawberry iMac a few years ago, and so far every problem I've encountered, or brought on myself, the Mac has resolved with its own inner elegance - in spite of my novice bungels - and now I honestly feel ashamed, in addition to the need to apologize to a machine for allowing a peasant into the Royal Grounds - so I am calling the Wise Ones in for this one.
Crazy, I know, but to me a Mac represents something far beyond the ordinary input ➛ process ➛ output title/function customarily assigned to a machine - I sense an odd kind of morality involved, one that I need to respect.
So, these are my reasons for wanting to do a clean install, correctly.
Thank you, Truitt -

After logging in to admin user, grey screen with spinning arrow

Tried starting in Safe Boot, zapped the PRAM, removed all peripherals, rebooted with installation disk and used Disk Utility - disk greyed out and says not mounted
How can that be?
this is an Intel-based iMac purchased last summer, recently installed Mountain LionI have the same problem. Installed Mountain Lion, got the spinning orb with no escape so I powered down. Upon re-boot I have the dreaded "?" Tried restarting several times to no avial.
In desperation, I inserted the 10.5 (Leopard) disk to install the original system version that came with my iMac. Now the install disk cannot find or mount my hard drive. I'm stuck.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:
