Will my disk be formatted if I upgrade to Mountain lion when it releases

Hello, I have a Mac running snow leopard, if I upgrade to mountain lion when it releases what I have to format my disk.

Mountain Lion is not a shipping product quite yet; that's scheduled for July.
Here is some general information on the upgrade, including the current hardware requirements.
Details beyond those posted at the Apple web site or in the Keynote are under non-disclosure; anybody that knows the details of Mountain Lion likely can't discuss it, and speculation isn't something that's generally permitted here in the forums.
If you're interested in an early copy of Mountain Lion, you can join the Mac developer program.

I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

no, sorry.
However, Lion has some great features in and of itself!
you will have to purchase it for 20 dollars in the app store (USA price) to upgrade to ML, the redemption codes that you may be reacting to are for people who recently purchased a computer and were told that they would be able to receive a free download of ML when it is released to make sure their computers are up to date.
This allows apple to release the hardware before the latest software, but still offer the latest software for free, because they're cool like that .
I hope this helps

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects the reply to address.

Ok, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I reply to an email from the Global Inbox it incorrectly selects just my main business email account, even if the email was sent to a completely different persoanl address. This use to work without issue in Lion. I have at least a half dozen accounts that all come into the "Global Inbox" and I never worried about what account I was replying from as it always matched the account the email was originally sent to.
Now in Mountain Lion, this is broken and no matter what email I select it defaults to my main account and I have to remember to manually select the proper reply address from the drop down menu. So far the only way to avoid this is the keep all the separate account Inboxes showing and then selecting the account that I want to view. Then when I repy it is to the correct address, but having to do this makes the "Global Inbox" view completely worthless! If I have to select teh correct Inbox to get the proper reply address every time then what is the point of having a Global View?
Why did you break this Apple?

Hello,
When you compose a message right click on the attachement and choose "View as Icon".
I know there was a Terminal command to set all attachements as icons by default but never tried it :
- You can also use the Terminal (in your Applications folder > Utilities) quit Mail, and type in the Terminal :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean yes
- To restore the original settings type :
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -boolean no
(source)
Hope this will help.

I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to mountain lion when it comes out this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7?

I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x 10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to Mountain Lion when it appears this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7 first?

This is unknown, it will be up to Apple and AFAIK they haven't announced that yet.

I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Mountain Lion when it is available? I need to upgrade to run quickbooks and other apps

First, you need Snow Leopard (10.6): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A. Then you use Software Update to update it to 10.6.8. When Mountain Lion (10.8) comes out, find it in the Mac App Store.

Time Machine backup disk no longer available since upgrade to Mountain Lion

He everyone,
I've been using Time Machine for years to backup my iMac to an external USB harddrive (Samsung HD103Sl), and everything used to work just fine up until I installed Mountain Lion.
Now Finder nor Time Machine can see my external harddrive. If I go to DIsk Utility, the harddrive is listed there, and everything seem to be just fine. I tried to run a disk verification and a repair, but Disk Utility tell me everything is OK.
Is it a Mountain Lion bug? Can someone help me with that?
TIA
Charles

I'm not sure if I have exactly the same case as yours....
I got the problem with my external HDD (with 2 partitions) while I was using one of the encrypted partition as Time Machine backup. I could not erase it after I upgrade to Mountain Lion, and it shown "this patition contain a locked disk and can not be resized until it is unlocked" in Disk Utility.
You may have a look if that's the same in Disk Utility.
Finally I get it fixed by the "diskutil" command in "Terminal" in "OSX > Applications > Utilities".
I used the command "diskutil" to verify the UUID of the "Logical Volume Group (LVG)" of the locked partition.
Then use the command to delete the LVG.
** All logical volume under this groiup will be deleted!!
Once the operation finished, I am able to recreate the partition in Disk Utility.
Hope this help!!

Will Final Cut Express be improved by upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks?

Will the performance of Final Cut Express, currently running under Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 (12F45), be improved by upgrading to Mavericks?

There are some 26 "bite-size" lessons so it's not too daunting.
Quite right Ian.
Probably should have mentioned it.

The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion

Please help. I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. iTunes 10.7 And I have a solution:
If found a thread about IPv6.
I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters.
That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
Close iTunes. Start iTunes. Works. Airplay Icon is back.
It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup. At the very least rebooted.
I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it. Finally.
Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something. Original thread link:

I would wait for Mountain Lion to be released. According to Apple, Mountain Lion will be released by end of July 2012.
It will cost you only $19.99 to upgrade. You can find all the details at the following link...

HT3258 I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. After that, I've had innumerable problems with email & none of the documents in Word are openable - a dialog box pops up saying that no Power PC applications are available, or something to that effect

I will re-enter my question: I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3. Since then I've had difficulty accessing my Verizon email. Also, all of my Word documents are no longer openable. I get a dialog box that says Power PC apps are no longer supported. Have any of you experienced this & if so, have you just had to "bite the bullet" & start re-doing your docs in Page?

Office 2004 is not compatible with Lion or Mountain Lion because they don't include the Rosetta software that allowed PPC apps to run on Intel hardware.
Office 2008 was the first version of Office designed to run natively on Intel chips.
Office 2011 is the current version.
You can update to Office 2011, Office 2004 was introduced 9 years ago. You can use other 3rd party softwares, i.e., iWorks, Office Libre, etc., that are capable of handling Office documents.
Or, you can revert back to Snow Leopard.
All in all, this topic has been covered in these forums almost every day since Lion was introduced 2 years ago.
