Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz

Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a 2.66 gHz.
Really do not want to load it and find there are issues.
Oh I really not a big tech guy I just want everything to work well.
And I'm just about to purchase a Mac Book Pro as well.
Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated
Cheers

I also have a 4 year old iMac 24". it is the 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo. I have been running Mountain Lion since it was released, and before that Lion. Runs great. Over the last month I have noticed some slow data transfers from a USB harddrive. But not enough to do any research. I use a USB harddrive for my Time Machine backup and notice no problems or slow transfers while the Time Machine backup runs. My iTunes has its nedia files on a USB harddrive and is used to watch videos, play music and share photos on the AppleTV. I also use Aperture on the iMac to store and manage 20,000 photos.
I have 6 GB of ram, 4GB and 2GB memory sticks. I know it is best to have identical ram sticks but my iMac model cannot run 8GB of ram and I feel 6GB is better than 4GB.
Mountain Lion is a great OS and I am glad I upgraded. It works great with the AppleTV (no airplay but iTunes on the iMac serves up all our music, photos and videos), iPhone, and iPod Touch. Also with my wifes brand new Macbook Pro. All the devices including the iMac can share data on iCloud.

Does Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work on my mac W8******VGP

does Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work on my mac W8******VGP
<Edited by Host>

Sorry, but no....
Your Late 2006 could go to OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store (U.S.), but I recommend keeping it on Snow Leopard 10.6.8
If you are wanting or needing to run Mountain Lion or Mavericks, then you will need to get a newer model Mac.

HT1338 Im thinking of getting Logic Pro X but will Mountain Lion work ?

Hi There,
How's it going?
Will Mountain Lion Work on my MacBookPro 15" Nov. 2006 ya 7 years old now. works great but lacking the power of a new Mac.
Im running 10.7.5 now Lion
The Processor is a 2.33 GHZ
and I have 2 GB of Memory
750 GB WD Hard Drive
Intel Core 2 Duo
so thats 64 bit ...right?
Thanks Apple fans.
Bryski

Your MacBook is 64-bit, but it's not compatible with OS X Mountain Lion which requires a Mid/Late 2007 or newer MacBook Pro. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
Logic Pro X needs OS X 10.8.4 or newer, so you can't install Logic Pro X in your MacBook. You can find all the requirements for Logic Pro in this website > https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/

Will Mountain Lion work with old models of Time Capsule?

I was using an online backup service but it slowed down my machine so I want to go to an external drive backup. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am thinking of purchasing an older version of Time capsule for my backups. My question is will mountain lion work with older models of Time Capsule? thanks so much.....

Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better.

Will Mountain Lion run on my mac mini running lion server?

I like the new features of Mountain Lion and I am not utilizing the "server" functions of lion. Will the new os effect the mini's operation?

Which Mini exactly, some cannot use 10.8?
10.7 was far more steps backwards than forwards, ML/10.8 has a few step forwards from 10.7 & a few backwrds...
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.

Will mountain lion work with ABBY Sprint 8.0?

I am currently running the ABBYY FineReader Sprint 8.0 scanner bundle E
build 8.0.0.4141 part:591/11
I am a MAC user on 10.7.4 Lion
I WANT to upgrade to 10.8.1 Mountain Lion
IF I UPGRADE WILL Sprint 8.0 be compatible?!

"I WANT to upgrade to 10.8.1 Mountain Lion"
You can't. Mountain Lion is only at 10.8.0.
"IF I UPGRADE WILL Sprint 8.0 be compatible?!"
I was using 8.0.1 but find that ABBY FineReader Express is much more stable.

Will Mountain Lion work on my laptop?

I have an early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro, currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have heard of similar models installing ML but running really hot and the fans going crazy. Is this an issue that has been sorted out? I'm interested in ML but i'll pass if it's going to mean my computer will run significantly worse.
Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean about putting an image on my Time Machine backups. Could you explain further?
I always say the more back ups you have the better. Keep your Time Machine back up as already suggested. But on another separate USB drive use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to make an image, or an exact bit for bit copy of your laptop's drive, which would be a separate bootable copy of your laptop's internal drive. With Startup Disk in System Preferences or by holding the Option key on boot up you can select the drive you want to boot too. Now if anything goes drastically wrong with your install you can boot it up with the external drive with the image. Both software will allow you to copy that image back to the laptops drive if necessary as well.
Kind of "belt and suspenders", you may never need you back ups, but they are there if you need them.

I installed mountain lion os on my mac book pro and now Word for Mac and my Fluenz Spanish programs do not work. How can I go back to my original OS? Thanks

I installed Mountain Lion OS on my Mac Book Pro and now WORD for Mac and Fluenz Spanish program do not work. How do I reinstall original OS and scrap ML?
Thanks

My previous answer still stands: Restore from your backup taken before you upgaded to Mountain Lion. For example, a Time Machine backup, a Carbon Copy Cloner clone, or a commercial backup service. Not the disk that came with your computer (which is how I read "OS back up disk").
If you reinstall the original OS from the disk that came with your computer, it will wipe out everything on your computer. (The installer won't install an older OS over a newer one, so you'll have to wipe the disk first.) Then you'll need to restore your data from your backup and reinstall applications like Word.

What Macs will mountain lion support

What Macs will mountain lion support

Looks like Apple has a five year shelf life built into it's computers as far as OS compatability is concerned. Guess I better start saving up for a 2014 Mini.
It depends on your perspective - if you consider "shelf life" as the amount of time before a computer will no longer accept new OS releases, that is one way to look at it. However, if you consider that the computer is still viable for a long time after its last eligible update, its useful life is a lot longer than just five years. I have been getting about ten years of useful economic life of every Mac I've ever bought and I think that's pretty reasonable (they all eventually get the maximum RAM and bigger hard disks).
Put another way, a 2007 Mini is every bit as useful as the day you bought it. I think it is more reasonable to expect you will not feel its age until about 2017.
It is also nothing new with Macs... they have all averaged five or six years of "upgradability" since the very first one in 1984. Eventually the OS has to evolve.

How will mountain lion affect my office for mac 201111

How will mountain Lion affect my office for Mac 2011

I have been using Office for Mac 2011 for almost a year now and the issue started immediately after doing the upgrade.
When I start Outlook I can see that it takes 1 minute plus to set up the identity.
When it finally runs it is very slow and no fun to use. It seems that Outlook is using very few resources when I look at the activity monitor.
Overall it seems that my IMac has become slower than before upgrading to 10.8.
I do not have support with MSFT anymore and I do hope that somebody does report this issue to MSFT.
To me it seems to be very clear a result of the upgrade.
Hope that helps.

If I purchase a mac mini now - will Mountain Lion be avilable free?

If I purchase a mac mini now - Will Mountain Lion be available free - or should I wait to purchase the mac mini?

No. It will come with Lion installed. A free upgrade to Mountain Lion would only occur when Apple announces such an option, and only to those who purchase the computer within some period of time after ML is released.
If saving $30 or so to upgrade to ML is your goal, then wait until it is released and Apple initiates an Up-To-Date program.

Have downloaded Mountain Lion on my 2010 Mac Mini. Now when starting up, after a while I get a message that says, "You must restart your computer." I do that but get the same message again and again. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having issues trying to start up with Mountain Lion on my 2010 Mac Mini. Here's the scenario:
1) After starting up, I get the usual gray screen with Apple logo.
2) After a few minutes, a darker gray screen scrolls down and in the middle of this is a black dialogue box with reversed (white) text. This text, in multiple languages, reads: "You need to restart your computer." Then it goes on to instruct on how to shut it down and restart it.
3) I follow this instruction, but get the same dialogue box over and over agin.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes.

If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

Will Mountain Lion work on my mac?
