Will I have to reinstall iDVD on Mountain Lion?
I currently have Snow Leopard and iDVD from iLife 09. If I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will I have to reinstall iDVD manually? Do I use Time Machine to reinstall iDVD?
And does iLife 11 come with ML?
iLife 11 doesn't come with Mountain Lion.
Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

If you do decide to upgrade to Mountain Lion, make sure you do a backup first.

I had to erase my HD, I have Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion was added for an upgrade after that, now when I try to download the OS X, my HD looks like it going to take it, then it goes no where. And now what is showing up is OS X Maverick for a download, which I didn't even know it existed until I had to down load. I am wondering will I have redownload Snow Leopard or Mountain lion before the OS X Maverick will download.
thank youWell, you can do an erase and install via the Recovery HD:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

HT4718 will i lose personal files with a mountain lion reinstall??
will i lose personal files with a mountain lion reinstall??
Not unless you go out of your way to erase the disk, first.
However, nothing is foolproof and the probability of something going wrong during the reinstall is inversely proportional to the number of backups you have. -
will I have to reinstall all my plugins that I have in Photoshop CC into Photoshop CC 2014 since they did not migrate?
Linking to self-contained plug-ins via a shortcut can be a good way to keep things organized, but be aware of one thing:
Many plug-ins today are not truly self-contained, but actually install additional things like DLL files into the Photoshop installation area itself (something I regard as a bad practice). What this means is even if you are to link to another place from the plug-ins subfolder under the new Photoshop CC (2014) installation area, your plug-ins may not all run properly. If they have an installer, your best approach is to use the installer.

I have a imac 10.5.8 with 1 GB of memory. If i upgrade to 3 GB of memory will i then be able to run mountain lion ?
What year, CPU speed and screen size is your iMac?
It appears as if it's one of the 2006 models that can only take up to 4 GBs of RAM, but only 3 GBs is recognized.
3-4 GBs of RAM is really the working minimum amount for OS X, alone.
The minimum iMac hardware spec for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is a mid 2007 model iMac.
2006 models cannot run Mountain Lion, but can run OS X 10.7 Lion.
If you have a mid 2007 or newer iMac, my advice would be to install, at least, either 6 or 8 GBs of RAM.
OS X, by itself, to run smoothly,quickly and efficiently can use between 3-4 GBs of RAM leaving virtually no RAM for any additional applications.
If you have an iMac that can take more than 8 GBs of RAM, think of installing more if you can afford it.
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing) also known as macsales.
Good Luck! -
Upgrading to Lion will I have to reinstall Parallels
Will I have to reinstall all my programs -I am on the road and I need my Parallels- to upgrade to Lion?
You shouldn't need to however I would recommend that you check with Parallels on the web site to see you have a version that will run well on Lion. If you can hold off until you get back to your office I would strongly recommend that. if you are on the road you may not have an up-to-date backup and you ALWAYS want that whenever doing any OS X upgrades.

If I upgrade from 10.5.8 (Leopard) to 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard) will I have to reinstall all of my applications? Along with that, will it update all of my applications?
You can upgrade 10.6 right over 10.5 with hardly any issues.
You will not have to resintall any applications, and the only applicaitons that get updates are the bundled one's Apple includes. Not your third party ones, those require your manual updates, but likely not paid updates for the most part.
10.6 is for Intel processors, offeres video card driver improvements, some new UI tweaks and strips out the PPC processor code your not using.
Your sort of already using Snow Leopard already under Leopard, as Leopard is for both Intel and PPC processors.
Now if your thinking of updating to 10.6 to get to 10.7, then yes, your older programs from Leopard and even some from Snow Leopard will not work in Lion 10.7
So 10.6 is as far as you go. -

I recently formatted my hard drive so that I could give my computer to my brother but when I was trying to reinstall OS X Lion (10.7) the only option that showed up was to reinstall OS X mountain lion which I do not have, so now I can't get past the menu that comes up when you hold command + C. How do I reinstall to OS X Lion when it isn't even an option that shows up
Ok, well, having had Snow leopard on it originally solves the question: the license for Lion (or Mountain Lion for that matter) is not transferable. You are required to erase the drive and reinstall the original OS (Snow Leopard). Giving or selling it with Lion (or ML) on it will not be helpful for the recipient because the machine ID and their Apple ID will no longer match so they will not be able to get updates.
Have you checked your Purchases section at the app store? Here is what shows on mine:
If you are using the recovery mode and Mountain Lion comes up, then I can only assume that this is what you purchased. I don't know why it would show up otherwise.
As far as selling your Mac, the above is irrelevant since you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard and the recipient will need to purchase Lion (or Mountain Lion) using their own Apple ID.
However, you need to check on this since you may want to download Lion again for another machine of yours. So, if you are sure you purchased Lion and nothing shows under your Purchases at MAS, I would either call Apple or make an appointment with your nearest Genius Bar to get it sorted. -
I'm having problems with reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion
I tried to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion :-
I click on continue and I get following message "to download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple" with two buttons Cancle and continue.
Once I've Clicked on Continue Ig et another message "Could Not find installation information for this machine contact apple" with OK button.
I need My Mac for work tomorrow please please Help me Urgent.I think that's likely the problem, then. The machine probably originally came with an earlier version of OS X and was updated to Mountain Lion using another persons Apple ID.
You don't say which model you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") but I'm betting that it came with installation discs with an earlier version of OS X. Do you have the discs? If not, the only way to get them is to order a set, using your serial number, from Apple. Cost is around $20 + shipping and taxes.
Look for your serial number on the back of the machine - it will usually be very faint. When you get it, go to -> http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html - and enter your serial number. It will pull up a page with your model and the original version of OS X that shipped with that model. You'll know then if you need to order discs (and it certainly sounds as if you're going to need those discs).
Good luck,

Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup
Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup
Asking because i'm a new mac user having used windows since 3.11, wanting to know if the Time Machine bacup was enough or will i need to make a seperate OS install disk or usb drive ???
thanx in advance guysLizardcarter's instructions are correct, you can (and possibly should) consider a second external HD to create a bootable clone. Redundancy in backups is a very good thing because backup can fail too. A bootable clone is an external HD that has a mirror of your internal HD so if the internal HD does crash you can boot from the clone, something that cannot be done from TM. This means you will be down for minutes and can resume work until you have had the internal HD replaced. Never use an external HD for both TM and a bootable clone, each should have it's own EHD. The reason being is if the EHD crashes you have lost ALL of your backup and are dead, don't laugh it happens! To create a bootable clone get either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both about $30) and you're pretty set. Many people on these forums (including myself) use that strategy and yes I have had a backup fail.

Have you received an e-mail from Apple with a Redemption Code? You will need that code to complete the purchase. It is supposed to take up to 3 days, but some people have had to wait a bit longer.
The redeem button is up in the top right hand corner in the Quick Links section. -

And Google chrome just keep loading the page for hours and nothing is appear on its browser. But safari and firefox working absolutly fine.
In addition, I have reboot computer as well but it never worked. Please help me in this occasion.
Eagerly waiting for your response on this issue.
Best Regards,You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Reinstalling Safari in Mountain Lion
I can't find how to reinstall Safari for Mountain Lion. The App Store is confusing as all get-out and I can't find any download link on the Safari page, just a bunch of blurbs telling me how great it is. Apparently the version I have has developed dementia and I would like to reinstall it. Can someone give me a clue about how to do this? Thanks. :-)
It's best to describe the problem, rather than your conclusion as to how it should be solved. Reinstalling is almost certainly not the solution.

OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 to reinstall OS X Mountain lion
I have used the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 to reinstall OS X Mountain lion on my Imac and i have used an external hard drive, but while rebooting, i didn't click on the recovery HD and now the external hard drive isn't visible. Can anyone help?
You are welcome. If you get all/some of your data back, I suggest you start backing up the external drive. If you can't do that using Time Machine, you can try one of the cloning programs below:
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu
Clone - SuperDuper
Clone Software – 6 Applications Tested
