Why won't my macbook pro repair disk permissions after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I upgraded my 2010 Macbook pro with 2.4gHz core 2 duo processor to Mountain Lion and ever since it has been giving me issues. One of my biggest concerns is that it will no longer repair disk permissions. The progress bar goes about half way and just sits there without finishing, and this is something i'm used to doing very regularly. Other than that it has been crashing fairly often and just acting strange where on Snow Leopard it never crashed or had any issues. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro Retina Audio issue after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Got my new MacBook Pro with Retina display just over a week ago now and was working brilliantly up until last night.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion via the App store as I already bought it for my other macs and didnt wish to wait to redeem my free copy.
Ever since the update the audio develops a stutter on any audio file no matter what format, program used or at any volume.
I am hoping this is just a software isssue and can be easily rectified. I have restarted it, tried a different user and pretty much anything else I could think of before posting this.
Any help would be greatly recieved.
Thanks
Luke

Using gfxCardStatus to force discrete graphics stops the audio stutter on my machine. I already returned one retina mbp for three dead pixels... Strange that graphics switching has something to do with the audio, especially since it was stuttering every 15 seconds or so, not when the nvidia kicked in...

Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

Did you try turning off power nap?

MacBook Pro keeps crashing ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion

My MacBook Pro keeps crashing randomly ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Another user suggested that it was bug with the graphic card and suggested that I use gfxCardStatus to control it. However it is only a temporary fix and my computer still crashes. Can anyone tell me what the permanant fix for this problem?? Here is my latest crash report:

My 2011 Macbook has become exceedingly slow after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I have a 2011 Macbook which has become really slow after I upgraded to Mountain Lion in March. At first it wasn't that bad, but it's getting worse and my computer has begun to overheat even if I'm only using Google Chrome. I used to be able to keep multiple applications open at once and never closed many of them, but now if I want to get anything done I have to use the absolute minimum. My CPU has reached 86 degrees Celsius and temperatures slightly below this seem to be the average, even if I've only been on for ten minutes. It heats up VERY quickly. The fan has been operating at 2919 rpm, but it has said that for days and I don't know if this number should be changing? (I know that normal is about 2000 rpm, so I know it shouldn't be that high anyway.)
I'm currently working on cleaning out my harddrive of duplicate and unnecessary files and I plan on restoring to the default settings and backing everything up on an external harddrive... but are there other things I should be doing to speed my computer back up, like good programs to clean out my computer's temporary memory on a regular basis? The problem seems to have come on pretty fast though, so I don't know if there could be something else wrong with it and if I should take it into an Apple-approved repair place.
Also, I'm not one to illegally download/pirate things from sketchy websites, so I highly doubt a virus is the cause, especially given that Macs rarely get viruses.
Any suggestions of what to do and what programs/apps to install would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I used to be able to keep multiple applications open at once and never closed many of them, but now if I want to get anything done I have to use the absolute minimum. My CPU has reached 86 degrees Celsius and temperatures slightly below this seem to be the average, even if I've only been on for ten minutes. It heats up VERY quickly. The fan has been operating at 2919 rpm, but it has said that for days and I don't know if this number should be changing? (I know that normal is about 2000 rpm, so I know it shouldn't be that high anyway.)
I'm currently working on cleaning out my harddrive of duplicate and unnecessary files and I plan on restoring to the default settings and backing everything up on an external harddrive... but are there other things I should be doing to speed my computer back up, like good programs to clean out my computer's temporary memory on a regular basis? The problem seems to have come on pretty fast though, so I don't know if there could be something else wrong with it and if I should take it into an Apple-approved repair place.
Also, I'm not one to illegally download/pirate things from sketchy websites, so I highly doubt a virus is the cause, especially given that Macs rarely get viruses.
Any suggestions of what to do and what programs/apps to install would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Camera for macbook pro not detecting camera since upgrade to mountain lion

I recently upgraded from Snow leopard to Mountain Lion and I was trying to make a video call in skype. The camera worked for a minute or so then stopped working. Since then my camera hasn't been detected by my Macbook pro. Can anyone help me?

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Yes, see > OS X Mountain Lion - Apple Store (U.S.)
You could also go to Mavericks, see > Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.

HT5616 Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?

Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?
I've verified my Apple ID and iCloud is working on my iPad with this same Apple ID.
THANKS.

I have the same problem. After updating to 10.9.2
My ipad and iphone works perfect. It's a certificate problem. Try to reset the keychain http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
Didn't work for me, so I'm calling apple support or maybe reinstall maverick if they can't solved it
Maybe it works for you :-)

Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore

Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore, I am living in China and my 8 month old MACBOOK PRO won't take a charge!! It has now gone flat and I am out of a computer. I bought a new charger but that didn't work. This is ridiculous!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To check that the battery is damaged, open System Information or System Profiler (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar, and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information". You can also check your battery status in the battery menu, on the menu bar. If its status is Replace Now or Service Battery, take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to have the battery replaced for free.
If you don't see any of those messages, do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

HT3275 Why won"t my MacBook Pro successfully backup anymore?

My MacBook Pro will no longer backup and I get the error message " Volume/Data/my computer name/sparsebundle is already in use." There are no other computers backing up. Seems I started having this problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I've tried the on/off fix but that didn't work.
Thanks for any help.

You may need to "reboot" your entire network. Power down your modem, the TC, all network clients. Allow a moment or two for everything to reset then power them back up again.

HT204032 I purchased my Macbook Pro in November 2011 and just installed mountain lion but do not have the power nap option.. anyone know why?

I purchased my Macbook Pro in November 2011 and just installed mountain lion but do not have the power nap option.. anyone know why?

It is for the MacBook with built in flash storage.
http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#powernap
4. Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update.

My MacBook Pro is running slowly. I run Mountain Lion on it. I received the following report from Etrecheck. Can someone help me decipher it and provide me with steps to fix the slow speed?

I have recently bought an 8Gb macbook pro. If I update it to mountain lion will it take half of the memory I have?

I have recently bought an 8Gb macbook pro. If I update it to mountain lion will it take half of the memory I have?

Well thats upto you but before any major update a backup is recommended, you should also be backing up your system as a matter of good housekeeping.
Time machine makes this very easy, you will require an external disk at least twice the size * of your hard drive in you Mac. Connect it to you Mac with USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, whatever you wish. You can use Time Machine to take a backup of the hard drive.
If you are unfortunate and have a hard drive fail you can recover all your data very easily.
Apple also sell a product called Time Capsule http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/ but I just use an External Disk.
*** Twice the size may be a bit excessive, it depends on how full your hard drive is and how much you expect it to fill.***

HT1338 How to upgrade MacBook Pro from OS 10.5 (Leopard) to Mountain Lion?

How do I upgrade a MacBook Pro from OS 10.5 (Leopard) to Mountain Lion? Do I need to upgrade in stages, i.e. to Snow Leopard, then to Lion, then to Mountain Lion, or can it be a more direct route?
R.

Hi Richard,
You need at least 10.6.6 installed to get & use the App store for purchase & download, & just read that Lion/10.7 is no longer available!???
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
It's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account, it may be free from Apple.
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion#System_requirements
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?
http://ow.ly/5Iz09
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
• MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
• MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
• iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
• MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
• Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
• Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
• XServe – early 2009 models and newer
Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
• Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
• Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
• MacBook models released prior to 2008
• Mac Mini released prior to 2007
• iMac models released prior to 2007
• Original MacBook Air
This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.

My app store on my macbook pro no longer shows that i purchased mountain lion. So when I am trying to do a reinstall it is not letting me put mountain lion, without re-purchasing it

Pardon the question, but you are checking the mac app store > Purchases (not iTunes or iTunes store or the app store for iDevices)? Have you tried holding the Option key while clicking on Purchases (shows hidden purchases).

Why won't my macbook pro repair disk permissions after upgrading to Mountain Lion?
