One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
My changes to the dock have reverted.
Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
This is on a second admin user account.
The main user account seems to be fine.
This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
Can anyone help?
ThanksThe same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp
Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps..... -
Hi since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slow
When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
How do i get my hotmail contacts to sync to icloud on my mac which is running mountain Lion 10.7.4?
how do i get my hotmail contacts to sync to icloud on my mac which is running mountain Lion 10.7.4?
You would have to export your contacts from Exchange and import them into iCloud somehow. I have to admit I don't know of an easy way to do this but maybe one of the other volunteers here will know how to do it.

I use MB pro running Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro and create a backup and then transfer ,Although I want Mountain Lion for my MB Pro but can I use the one from MB Air,thnx?
Hello,
If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
Hope it helps,

I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?
Answered. Thanks.

Mac mini wont run mountain Lion
I have just purchased a 2nd hand 2009 mini mac, and have updated the snow leopard osx.
I checked the spec to be able to run mountain Lion and my machine just meets it...core 2 duo 1.83ghz,upgraded to 2gb ram.
I have purchased Mountain Lion for £14 from apple, and got a download link. Right at the start of the download stage, a warning pops up that my machine isn't able to run it.
I have adequate hard drive space,and realise I am close to edge of compatability, is it because "apple" is recognising my machine as originally having less than 2gb, thus says it is unable to run it?
other questions are, as I ordered the download, but then it failed will I still be charged?
also, if available could I purchase a physical disk and install either on top of my existing OS or even on a new HD.....
I am a new convert having previously done many many windows upgrades etc, so I am learning a bit...Any help would be great, my reason for wanting to upgrade is I wan't to down load Mac Apps, which you have to have mt Lion to do?
many thanksYes, thxs for that, my current os is defo 10.6.8, i've run an update, and it says the software is up to date....
My current o/s is I guess snow leopard, and i wan't to get to at least Lion or mountain Lion...
I realise Mavericks is a free upgrade, but i really dont think my machine would run that, but my first issue is getting Mt Lion installed, i understand you can't buy Lion on its own so i purchased Mt Lion...
but like i said, i am unsure if my machine meets the required spec for even that as the ram is just upgraded to 2 gb...
is there a way around the install checking what spec the machine is that it is being installed on to?, although i am unsure if i am even near to that stage as it won't even start the down load...
i will try again!!!
thanks again, has anyone else got any advice...
sorry one last thing, will it be anything linked to my serial number?, it isn't listed under "about my mac", i suspect as it may well have been effected when the ram was expanded to 2gb, would that cause an issue, I have the serial number on the original box, can i re establish that with the mac if that is the cause? -
