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.

    I WANT to upgrade to 10.8.1 Mountain Lion

    "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 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.

  • 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 an iMac mini and mountain lion work with a touch screen monitor?

    I was wondering if Mountain Lion would work with a touch screen monitor. I have a project in mind and this is a key part to the equation. If any one could help this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I do Not know for certain, but from my understanding, touch screen interfaces require that the OS version used to drive them be "designed" from the beginning to operate within that environment.  Obviously, at this point OS X has Not been designed to function that way (non of the Mac's using it work that way); although the mobile version, iOS 6, used in iPhones and iPads was indeed designed from scratch to operate that way.  So one day sometime down the road it's possible that OS X too will share this ability.  But not yet.
    Hope this helps

  • Does Mountain Lion work with Neat Desk?

    They should be able to tell you if their software can run on Mountain Lion v10.8.

  • Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

    I have heard that Mountain Lion is not compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc. Is that true?

    Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
    Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011! 
    I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files.  How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011?  Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.

    You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
    Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
    Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
    Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem.  I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
    The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary."  Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
    You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
    Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
    Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

  • Is mountain lion working with Final Draft?

    Hi, deos anyone know if Mountain Lion is working with 'Final Draft 8'. Read a horror story about it killing scripts. Really would like to upgrade but don'e want to lose my work!! Have they issued a patch or a fix? Anyone?

  • Will new iPod work with old library???

    For 18 months, I've had my beloved iPod mini. Alas, the time has now come to trade it in for a newer model. I have only one concern left. The iPod is notorious for its restrictions on users. I've had iTunes synched to my mini for the last year and a half. If I go out and buy an iPod video, will it work with my music library? If it doesn't, how can I get it to work? Lastly, I'll probably upgrade again when they improve the iPod video. Will IT, in turn, work, after having used the older version before it!?

    That's good to hear. What has me worried is that my little brother recently bought an iPod of his mate. He tried synching it with my library and it just didn't register. Now, obviously, my new iPod will never have been linked to any other machine but still. However, my brother was able to sync his iPod with a different and fresh iTunes computer in my house

  • Will PC54G2 WLAN work with old motherboard?

    Hi
    I have an old motherboard Intel Triton VXPro which probably has 5V voltage on the PCI. PC54G2 is operating at 3.3V. Will it work together? I know that chipset on this card is ralink 2500 and on Ralink's www page is written that both standards 3.3 and 5V are supported (in reference card). http://www.ralinktech.com/prod-2.htm
    Thanks
    PS. The old computer works as a NAT for 3 other ones.

    Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.

  • My 5 year old Airport Expresses don't work with the new Airport Time Capsule?

    My question is after wasting hours trying to install my new Airport Time Capsule, Ive noticed that the "Airport Utility" doesn't recognize any of my 4 five year old Airport Expresses. An error message says " This version of Airport Utility doens not support this (these) base stations"? Does that mean that their is no work arounds which means I have to purchase 4 replacements?

    You need the older airport utility.. that can be installed on Lion or Mountain Lion.. it cannot be installed on Mavericks.. do you have an older computer even a windows one.. or can access, borrow or bribe a friend over for drinks with laptop.. then you can configure your expresses.. !!
    There is a rather complex workaround on Mavericks.. when I posted it in the past.. Apple deleted it.. go figure.
    Kappy's post is still there.

  • New vs. Old Model of Time Capsule... Advantages?

    I'm about to buy a Time Capsule and see there is a close-out model, MB277LL/A and a new model, MB765LL/A. But I'm not seeing any real comparisons of the two. Are there enough new features in the new model to go that way, versus save $150 or so and go the older model? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

    Acutally these are two separate features of the new model. Dual band keeps the connection from slowing down if someone connects using a computer that only supports the slower connection. Older routers default to the slower connection speeds if there are any G clients.
    Guest networking works on both connections. Your guests could be using the same radio to connect as you, but it will appear that they are on a different network. They will also not be able to see any of the computers on your network and also not any of the computers on the "guest" network, unless you have enabled this on the Time Capsule.
    If you have any devices that use 802.11G and newer devices that use 802.11n then it is definitely worth the $150. Sharing your internet with friends without compromising security is nice too.
    I did notice that connections seem stronger than the Airport Extreme that I replace that shipped the same time as the old Time Capsule.

  • 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.

  • Does Mountain Lion work with the older USB Brother HL printers?

    To save my life, I cannot get my Brother HL 2120 laser printer to work. It downloads fine, the software upgrades as well. I can see it when I hit "command F" but when I try and print with it, it just flat disappears, no icon bouncing and no printed product. Any help would be grea

    This Apple support article doesn't show that model as a supported printer.

  • Does Mountain Lion work with Adobe CS4?

    This may have already been asked, but I didn't see it when searching. Sorry if its a duplicate question.
    I have the Adobe CS4 Master Suite running on my imac (27" Quad core i7 processor at 2.93GHz with 8GB ram) currently running very smoothly on 10.6.8. I'm thinking of upgrading to 10.8. My question is does the upgrade break or slow down anything in the Adobe CS4 Suite? I mainly use Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop for my work and occasionally run Indesign, Fireworks or Dreamweaver (all CS4)
    Any help or comments would be appreciated before I buy and download the 10.8 update. If any of the programs I mentioned have issues, are they major or minor?
    Thanks!

    Yes.
    Are my applications compatible?
