Window Activity function Disappeared in Mountain Lion.

I often used the Window>Activity function to identify and download videos from web sites. That option is no longer available in Mountain Lion. Does anyone have an alternate method to download web site videos without using a third party software package?

I'm sorry for my bad english, my problem is that I want the program I open in a new window to be avilable in full screen mode. Before I uppdated my os to Montaine Lion I could choose wide under screen in settings. I'll take an ex for you. When I play poker online I want to see the tabel in full screen but I don't manage to fix that. Do you Sir have any idea???

HT1338 Can I use windows xp on OS x mountain Lion?

Can I install Windows XP on OS X Mountain Lion?

Installing WinXP on Lion or above without BootCamp
It is possible to install WinXP onto Lion or Mountain Lion. Bootcamp does not work thanks to Apple removing support, but the important drivers you need can be found on the net (details below – but the drivers you need will depend on your hardware). WinXP when installed will display at a low resolution on your screen but with the drivers you can fix that and get Wifi connectivity.
When I did it, by far the most time consuming part was to get my XP upgraded to SP3. The solution to one nasty problem with SP3 upgrade is given below.
PREPARATION
Obtain the following files using your browser in OSX before attempting WinXP install.
1. Service Pack 3 file (if your WinXP is Service Pack 2). Obtain from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24
If the file has moved to a different page search on Microsoft's site for it.
(Note: I downloaded the SP3 driver written as a CD disk ISO image and used the FreeISOBurner software to make a CD from which I could make the install.)
2. Search and find drivers for the Intel graphics of your Macbook Pro
(search for 'Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows XP')
3. Find drivers for WIFI. Mid 2011 MBP uses Broadcom. BCM43xx
Wiki drivers site has them.
4. Make sure you have Win XP installation CD and the 25 character licence key.
Give yourself some time without too many urgent deadlines etc.
PART A
Partition your hard disk in OSX using Disk Utility. One should be FAT32 format and set to your size needs for Windows XP.
Restart computer and hold down C key to boot from Windows XP installation CD
Install WinXP following instructions. At least one restart required. Hold down option key when power is down to select the windows drive for booting
Once finished WinXP set up, restart and boot into OSX pressing and holding the option key when power is down.
PART B
From OSX, open a finder window and locate the Windows drive
Open the folder 'Windows Drive'\Documents and Settings\'Your windows account name'\Desktop
Transfer the files you will need from your OSX into the Windows desktop
Service pack 3
Intel Graphics Drivers
Wifi Drivers
(Note. This is where it helps to use FAT32 format for Windows. If you choose to format using NTFS when installing Windows then OSX can read but not write to that drive. If you use NTFS you will need to transer the files to FAT32 formatted memory stick or CD)
PART C
Reboot the computer into Win XP by holding down option key when restarting
Install the Intel graphics drivers. Reboot to XP
Install the Wifi drivers. Reboot to XP
Have a go at bringing your XP up to date. This can be a long task depending on which version of installation disk you own: XP, XP with SP1, XP with SP2 or XP with SP3. In my case I started from XP SP2. Unfortunately the Windows Update mechanism in the XP SP2 system is now blocked by Microsoft so you can't update using the web. This is where you need the SP3 installation.
There are many possible headaches:
One error message is 'Setup requires a minimum of 4 additional megabytes of free space' when running the SP3 installation. If this is the case then go to this page:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/er ror-there-is-not-enough-disk-space-on/3109444d-2249-4e66-973c-bd662635dc77
It appears that the BootDir register is not set during some installations (mine included). Follow the clear instructions from David Mitchell to fix the registers (Thanks David!)
PART D
Once you have Win XP SP3 going then you're Wifi should work and you should be able to complete the update process using the Windows update mechanism. You can then find other drivers you may need such as LAN drivers etc.

Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

heres 2 screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue - the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal - until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

I cant access the root share of a windows server after upgrading to mountain lion

Hi Guys,
Since upgrading to mountain lion i cant access the shared drives on our windows server. For example in a windows machine if i go to run the type \\server\ i get all the visible shares available. in my previous version i was able to do the same (obviously i would authenticate with my AD account). now when i try to access those same shares i get the message below:
"The operation cant be completed becuase the original item for "/" cant be found"
I can however connect to the shares directly for example if i connect to server path \\server\data it works ok.
I have verified my account details and they are ok - i have also disconnected and reconnected the connection.
This was working fine before the upgrade. can anyone help??

well iv just managed to get to 35 gig free (just deleting iphone backups) and im now able to get past the next screen on bootcamp.
unfortunatly its only allowing me to create a new partition not delete the current.
this is leading me to think the old ones master partition has become damaged and the hard drive dosent know it exists any more.
if this is the case (please tell me im wrong though) what options do i have as i dont want to / have the money to buy another hard drive to back everything up to it with.
thanks again

Cant Access windows 8 after upgrading to mountain lion

a few weeks ago i upgraded my lion to mountain lion
i had windows 8 installed with boot camp on a seperate partition (i only use windows 8 for my astrophotography as certain specilised apps i use are sadly windows only)
now as i hadnt had any clear skys upuntill a few nights ago i hadnt needed to go into my windows 8 (and hadnt noticed its disapearence till now) althrough looking on my mac i can see all trace of it even existing has gone (apart from the fact my hard drive (250gig) is still showing the split 189 gig (windows being 61)
just tried the windows 8 disk see if i can recover it and it told me the partition is locked and needs to be unlocked
im not bothered about anything on the windows side (to the point i tried to use bootcamp to wipe it and start again) but it says you need more than 10gig free (i had 13 at the time) and wont let me go to the setting for deleting ect only as far as downloading the bootcamp drivers.
so does any one have any ideas how to recover, unlock or even to get rid of and start it again without effecting my mac partition as i dont have enough space to back everything up (and im not currently financially able to buy another hard drive just for that purpose.)
many thanks in advance
Gareth

How do you close a finder window on an iMac running Mountain Lion by double clicking on the top of the window like I can on my Macbook Air?

When I bought my Macbook Air in 2011, ( leopard on purchase - now mountain lion) I discovered how to close open Finder windows by double clicking at the top of the window. I have just bought an iMac (mountain lion) and for the life of me cant find out how to do the same. Finder preferences are no help. Can anyone out there be of some?
Thanks in advance

I know what you are referring to. In both cases, the window is minimized, but on your MacBook Air, your Finder window is minimized onto the Finder icon, and on the iMac, on the right side of the Dock.
To change this on your iMac, open System Preferences > Dock, and mark "Minimize windows into application icon"

Moving application windows between two monitors in Mountain Lion

I have a Macbook Pro that sits on my desk below an external monitor that is hooked into the laptop. I use the Displays setting to arrange my external monitor on top of my laptop monitor. Unitl I install Mountain Lion, I used to be able to move windows between the two screens. Now, all application windows get stuck at the menu bar. This is not a problem if the external monitor is placed to the right, left, or the bottom of my Macbook Pro screen in the Display setting. The problem occurs only when it located above the laptop monitor. Has anyone else experience this and is there a quick fix?

Hi Jerry,
The arrangement in the displays setting does show correctly.
If I restart the laptop, it will let me move applications between the two displays but as soon as it wakes up from sleep, I can no longer move applications to the external display if it is positioned on top (it will work if it is postioned on either sides or bottom).
I did a fresh reinstall of the Mountain Lion operating system (reformatted the hard drive) but this did not fix it.

Message app disappeared with Mountain Lion install attempt

I attempted to install Mountain Lion on my "early 2008" MacBook ... did not install, but somehow the iCloud Message app disappeared ... any ideas?

Sometimes restarting the router/modem can help with downloads.
However, if the connection is slow or flaky, it is difficult to get a clean download with a file that large.

How do I connect to a Windows 7 File System from Mountain Lion

I am wondering how to connect via Finder to Windows 7 hard drives.

I have Mountain Lion and I have been able to connect to a Windows laptop on my home network.
Go to 'Go' in Finder and select 'Connect to Server'. Put in the server address as smb://[ip address] / [server machine name]
You will find the ip address by running 'ipconfig' in the CMD application on your Windows 7 machine. You will find the server name also in Windows under System in Control Panel. Good luck - it works but it is temperamental sometimes I have found and reboots on either machine often help !!!!

Loss of Magic Mouse function after downloading Mountain Lion

I have lost the "two-finger swipe" back to previous screen function of my Magic Mouse after downloading Mountain Lion. The vertical scroll function still works, only in the opposite direction. Weird! Any ideas?

You must have upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scroll direction has changed to "natural" where you push content in the direction you want it to go, as thought you had you finger on the screen. You can change it back the other direction In System Preferences > Mouse > uncheck Scroll direction: natural.
The swipe back a page is now a one finger swipe. You can change that as well in System Preferences > Mouse > More gestures tab. Click the disclouse triangle for the choices.

English dictionary has disappeared with mountain lion (a complaint from Spain)

Hi,
I'm a Spanish Mac user and was a fond user of the excellent built-in English dictionary that came with Lion and with former operating systems. A couple of days ago I installed the new Mountain Lion and noticed that the former English dictionary had been replaced by a school-level Spanish dictionary. I felt betrayed and dumped, as I encountered no warning during installation that this was going to happen. And of course the Mountain Lion reviews I had read in the past weeks did not mention this problem, as it does not affect users from English-speaking countries. Has anyone experienced the same problem? What can I do? I have tried to recover and install a former version of the Dictionary app, but I haven't succeeded yet.
Besides, since I installed Mountain Lion Mail has become so slow that I now prefer checking email on the website. The connection between Mail and the new Address Book (now called Contacts) is also incredibly slow. In sum: the bunch of new iPad-inspired applications that are included in Mountain Lion definitely come with too many disadvantages. Sincerely, I wouldn't recommend to install it, unless these inconveniences are solved. Please, Apple, solve them quickly. This is just a disgrace.
Best,
Marta

That is not the case for any standard installation. Everyone should have all the old dictionaries, plus Spanish, German, and Chinese.
Have you gone to the Preferences of Dictionary.app and made sure all the boxes are checked?

Is there a way to add a timer on this alert message?

Program a Function Key, OSX Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have just learned that if I hold down a whole bunch of buttons I will be able to capture the image of an active dialogue box in an application and have Mac save it automatically on my desktop. The combinations are: Command + Shift + 4 + Spacebar + Ctrl.
That is a lot of buttons to be pressing simultaneously and also difficult to remember.
Is there a way to redefine a function key on the keyboard to execute the combination of the commands?
My goal is to capture dialogue boxes of some applications because I am writing articles about features and usability. Do you have any other suggestion as to how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Farzad

You don't have to hold all of those simultaneously.
Cmd-Shift-4 gives you the selection icon, where you can drag out what you want.
If you then hit the spacebar (not holding anything else down), the cursor will change to a camera and you can select entire windows.
Either way, if you hold down control while you click, it will go to the clipboard instead of saving to a file. The shortcut is actually listed as cmd-ctrl-shift-4, but since there is a second click involved, you can press the control key while you click.
Cmd-shift-3 does the whole screen. If you want the whole screen to go to the clipboard, you do have to hold down cmd-ctrl-shift-3.
You can change keyboard shortcuts in the Keyboard System Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts tab, Screen Shots item.
