Will i have big problems if i go back to Mountain Lion after having upgraded to Mavericks? I also updated iphoto, pages ,numbers etc
According to the App Store, Pages compatibility is v10.9 or later.
Same for iPhoto and Numbers.
Those apps will not run on v10.8 Mountain Lion.

I have a problem with a snow leopard to mountain lion upgrade. Any suggestions?
I have a late 2007 I-Mac currently running snow leopard. My computer meets the requirements for RAM, available disk space, etc. to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I also have a new Mac Book Pro that I just updated the Mountain Lion software on. I have followed the steps outlined by Apple as follows.
To install OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on another Mac, open the Mac App Store, sign in to your account, and re-download the OS by selecting it in the Purchases list. Follow these steps:
Download Lion or Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store on one of your personal authorized Macs. The download is approximately 4 GB in size.
Install the OS.
Log in to another computer that you wish to install it on.
Open the Mac App Store. Enter your Apple ID and password that was used to download either Lion or Mountain Lion on the first computer.
Click the Purchased icon, then click the download link for the appropriate OS.
The problem I continue to have is that the program will act like it's going to download and will say it's downloading then after approximately 10 minutes the App Store no longer says the program is downloading and I again get the green box to "install app".
I have made sure to update my software and I have the latest updates 10.6.8 for snow leopard. I have also disabled the anti virus program. Any suggestions??If you are willing to experiment:
Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
1. Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of
around 8 GBs or more.
2. Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
3. From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target
destination then begin the download.
4. At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click.
Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the
installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: (a.) yank
the cable for the drive from the computer; (b.) pull the power on the computer -
shut it down quickly.
This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
b. Open Disk Utility.
c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process. -
I have a problem, i can't change my lockscreen wallpaper? Doesnt work...is there anyone who can help me regarding this problem? Thx
To help, we need more detailed information.
--What steps are you trying?
--What does the device tell you (any pop-ups or messages)?
--Are you able to change the Home screen wallpaper, or is that affected too?
--Are you the phone's owner/administrator, or is this a device used for work (assigned/administered by IT staff, possible on an Exchange server)?
--Have you jailbroken the device? -
Will there be problems on my iMac on Mountain Lion if I upgrade to Maverick?
Except for two times that my iMac on Mountain Lion froze completely recently, my iMac has been working just great. I am concerned that upgrading to Maverick might cause problems. Any suggestions?
We have not way of knowing that. If you have no particular need to upgrade, then I suggest you don't bother. You can always get an external hard drive and install Mavericks on it so you can see if you really want to upgrade. Or you can clone your existing internal HDD to a backup drive. Then you can upgrade one. If you aren't happy you still have your old system.

I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
Is there anyone that can help?I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

Is there a way to go back to Mountain Lion after updating to Yosemite? Yosemite has caused nothing but problems in multiple programs. Mountain Lion ran fine. Not sure why I even updated. I am NOT a computer guru so instructions I have read for the many Yosemite fixes blow my mind. Should I be taking my MacBook Pro to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store (2 hours away)? I have been a Mac user and lover for many years and am SO frustrated and disappointed in all of it right now. Please advise on what a non-tech frustrated Mac user can do.
Technically, you can downgrade if you have the following:
Your computer must be elligible to run Mountain Lion. If your computer came with Mavericks or Yosemite out of the box, you can forget it.
You need an already existing Mountain Lion installer file. If you still have that somewhere, for example in your Applications folder, or anywhere else, it's usable- note that it needs to be originally downloaded with your own Apple ID and password. If you made a Mountain Lion USB installer or DVD back then that would work too. If your Time Machine back-ups go back to the days of Mountain Lion or Lion you could check your Applications folder from inside Time Machine and restore it to your computer.
To not have data loss you need a Time Machine back-up that goes back to when you were still running Mountain Lion. Please note that this will revert your data to exactly the date that you choose. If you installed Mavericks 2 months ago, you will loose 2 months worth of data. -
Hi. I am just about to move from the UK to Kuwait. Will I have any problems using my iPhone 4 and able to join a local carrier using this device please?
If your phone is locked to a particular carrier, you must contact them to request they unlock it. Once they've taken care of that and you've followed the instructions to complete the unlock process, you will be able to use the phone elsewhere.

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?
No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

modem firmware 04.12.09
iPhone 4
memory is 32 g
iso 7.1.2(11d257)
when cancel call it not work before is shutdown and open it again
i have big problem i make update to my software iso 7.12 in my iphone 4 but when i recive calling and i want to cancel and recall again i phone is stop no working and i must restart it to work what can i doBasic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. -
I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Hi, I have big problems since 2 weeks with outline, fonts, size in Ai CS6 : Numerical value are so big and I can't change it with smaller. Apparently Ai said me that comes from AiPrefs... Could you help me please.
I tried to initialize my preferences but nothing change.
PS : Sorry for my English, I'm French
PierrePierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Switching from PC to MAC -Will I have a problem with Lightroom?
I am getting ready to switch from a PC to a MAC ( I think). I know I will need new Lightroom software. Other than that, will I have any problems. Will it read my files automatically? Sepcifically, will it maintain my key words, ratings, metadata, and such?
Thanks so much,
LeoraNo. There is a download for each system. What is common is the licence key to activate the install. The latest update issued today is here.
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
If you have a License for LR 2.x you can download and install its free and you can have it installed on two computers. One can be Mac and one Win or two on either system.
P.S The update is the full program so you do not need to install the original version, you just have to input the License Key. keep it safe. -

Will i have a problem if i don't update to 10.6.4?
hi, new user. i bought a macbook pro 13 i think right about the same time the update came out and while reading these forums noticed people having some issues 'right after updating to 10.6.4'. so i decided not to do the update, figuring i don't know much about it and maybe it would be better to wait in case they need to work out some bugs. my question is: will not updating cause me even more problems later? if they come out with a 10.6.5 will i have a problem going straight to that? thanks for any help, i read this forum all day long and pick up some great tips.
Every system upgrade is intended to iron out bugs at least as well as improve security. If you are having no problems with your present system there is no real need to upgrade.
Yes, you will be able to skip a version or two usually without any adverse effect on the upgrade. You can skip more versions if you download the latest combo update. Some users find this a more reliable way to upgrade even though it's a larger download.
