• Upgrade to the Mavericks without new installation Mountain Lion?

  Hi guys,.

  I'm looking to upgrade my Mac to the Mavericks Mountain Lion (I do not want to Yosemite or El Capitan again that not all my software is fully compatible), but I was wondering if it was possible to not have to do a clean install, but just upgrade?  I know it was an option when Mavericks was the current OSX, but don't know if it's feasible now.

  I have the installation of the Mavericks.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!!

  James

  Yes. Install it normally.

• P1102w printer driver in the Lion of the mountains or the Mavericks

  I get conflicting info about whether Laserjet Pro p1102w will be printed with the Lion of the mountains or the Mavericks. In a support article titled "install the printer on a Mac Running OS X v10.8 (only for network connections) Mountain Lion".

  It stipulates that:

  "This document explains how to set up your printer on a network with AirPrint. Update HP drivers and software for Lion of mountain are not available for your printer. »

   

  
  You can also read on the data sheet:

  Operating systems supported

  Hello

  The drivers for the Mountain Lion and the Mavericks are accessible to the general public via Apple Software Update.

  If you want to use your wireless printer and the printer is already connected to your wireless network, restart your Mac, run Software Update, click the sign under Print & Scan / printers & scan and add the printer.

  For USB or connect the pritner to your wireless network, connect the printer to your Mac with a USB port and confirm a prompt to get the latest drivers.

  To set up a new wireless connection under OS X Lion v10.7 > Option two: change your existing connection to a wireless connection type in the following document:

• Problems after upgrade to Mountain Lion?

  Full of history of BONE: I have an iMac (early 2009 I think) that came with Leopard.  Only 2 days ago did I'm ready to upgrade!  So my Snow Leopard s/w package installed.  So bought the APP store Mountain Lion & installed today.  Now on OS X 10.8.5

  Works great except one problem - Facebook is messed up!  Most of my "task buttons" (as the arrow pointing down in the upper R hand corner) does not work!  (Which means I can't send a msg HELP FB.)  It seems that FB does not 'recognize' my mouse.

  It is an plugin Apple Magic Mouse, model A1152, EMC No. 2058.  Went to 'Apple' support to see if there was an update of the driver but it seems that they are only available in wireless versions.

  Help!

  Hello Catherine.

  Although it may not solve your problem of mouse/FB directly, there are a few things you could try.  Your iMac is probably mid-2007 if it was supplied with Leopard.  You approached support FB.  The shoe is generally on the service rather than the manufacturer of the item.

  There is also an update of Combo for Mountain Lion.  You need to download that from this link...

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1676?locale=en_GB

  And finally, have you checked that you have enough memory RAM.  Your machine probably came with 4 GB if Mountain Lion would work better with 6 GB.  You can run 6 GB with this iMac.    I have the same (even if no account of Face Book) and even if Apple specifies a maximum of 4 GB, I and many others, use 6 GB comfortably...

• MacBook Pro keeps freezing after update to Mountain Lion

  I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion since Snow leopard. I use a late 2008 Macbook Pro. Since the upgrade, I'm randomly crashes when you use most of the applications (logic x, VLC, QuickTime) it also freezes when using Mozilla. When it freezes I don't get the option to force quit if I continue to use the power to close button. I really want to continue to use Mountain Lion, because I use several applications up-to-date as logic x and is also compatible with my external sound card. I enclose a newspaper of being as recommended check on some posts here. Any help would be great and thanks in advance

  Hello billy.

  When point to Mountain Lion? When say 'freeze' you mean the kernel panics? You get a multilingual you requiring window on the eve of your Mac? Your EtreCheck report shows 3 kernel panics. They were before or after you updated to Mountain Lion? If your machine has been seen panicking the kernel before, then it might be a hardware problem. If these panics are new since the Mountain Lion, then it is likely an incompatibility with one of your extensions to core 3rd part. She can relate to those who show 'loaded' in your report of EtreCheck, but it could involve other extensions too, depending on what hardware or software is used.

• Win 7 Boot camp on Mountain Lion. Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra destroy boot camp?

  HI people,

  been my mid 2010 MacBook Pro OSX lion mountain for a long time. I have a boot camp partition installed with windows 7.

  I need to work from home.

  I recently got an iPhone 7 and it requires iTunes 12.5, which is not supported by mountain lion so I can't restore the backup of phone of my iPhone 5 to the new phone.

  MY internet connection is shocking to iCloud backups will take forever to download then.

  So if I decide to move on Cougar to macos Sierra so I can install the correct iTunes to my new iPhone version and thus keep all my old applications and data, will it trash my installation of boot camp windows 7?

  Thanks guys,.

  Steven.

  Boot Camp

  Supports the facilities existing Boot camp with Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 10 Windows. New facilities in Boot Camp requires Windows 8 or Windows (sold separately) 10.

  Please make back ups of Mac OS x, Windows (using physical disks separated, if possible) and create a Windows system restore point before upgrading.

• Can I upgrade to iOS 10 using a Mac with OS (10.8.5) Mountain Lion?

  Can someone tell me if I can sync to my iPhone 6 with iTunes using a Mac with the (10.8.5) Mountain Lion?

  This is what Apple is the list for the iPhone 7 that runs iOS 10.

  http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-7/specs/

  • Sync with iTunes on a Mac or a PC requires:
    • Mac: OS X v10.9 or later
    • PC: Windows 7 or later
    • iTunes 12.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  My daughter is running Lion on his MacBook Pro and was synchronize its iOS iOS 9.3.5 devices. The requirements for iOS 9 call for Cougar 10.8.5. It will never update via iTunes - always on WiFi - and I think that's how she got away with it. I don't know if it will work this time with iOS 10.

• Bootable USB Stick - El Capitan/Mountain Lion

  Using a MacBook running El Capitan, can I create a bootable USB key to run Cougar?

  Unless you've downloaded the OS X App Store before the publication of the Mavericks Mountain Lion, your only option is a purchase ($20USD) Cougar via the Apple store online. Once you have downloaded the OS X App Store ML using this purchase key, you can then run DiskmakerX top to make a USB bootable (8 GB min).

  The current (5.0.3) of DiskMaker X version only works with the Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan. Mountain Lion, to the 3.0.4 version on the developers site. It provides a direct download link to it. I don't know if this old X DiskMaker work on El Capitan.

• Is it wise to move to Mountain Lion?

  Hello

  I have a little old Macbook Pro (late 2008) with Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The computer works normally fine but I am worried about the problems of security and internet browsers etc. will be is more updated. Also the synchronization with other devices is a problem.

  I have Adobe CS4 and Microsoft Office 2008 programs and I am concerned about their compatibility with the latest OS X systems.

  It is: which OSX should I upgrade? It seems that I have to choose either Mountain Lion (10.8.) or El Capitan (10.11) such as Mavericks or Yosemite are no longer available.

  Can someone help and tell if it is wise to go to Mountain Lion, at this point?

  Thank you.

  Unless you bought the Cougar from the App Store when it was available, you can only change it to El Capitan. You can see on the compatibility of the software here: App - RoaringApps compatibility table. Maybe you should look at a new computer.

• Re-download Mountain Lion?

  How can I re - download Mountain Lion or should I?.  Currently, I run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.1.2 on a Mac Book Pro in early 2011.    I bought OS x Mountain Lion 10.8.2 back in 2012.  Only to find out that I could not use some software needed for work.  If I had uninstalled/downgraded.  I am now ready to update my OS.  Questions: a) how can I re - download previously purchased Cougar?  I find in my history of purchase on iTunes, but it does give me an option to download.  I have not received a disc.   (b) if I have or can I just buy an OS more recent Yosemite/El Capitan?  Thank you.

  purchase on iTunes history

  iTunes or the App Store? It should be in the tab App Store purchases with a download option.

  If you have never downloaded Mavericks or Yosemite, they are no longer available. El Capitan would give you the software up-to-date and secure.

  One solution is to create a new partition (~ 30-50 GB), install the new OS, and 'test' it. Otherwise as/like it, you can then remove the partition. Make a backup before doing anything. By doing this, if you don't like it you don't go well the recovery process.

  Check to make sure that your applications are compatible.

  You can go to depends on what your model is compatible with. You cannot install Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite because they are no longer available.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

  5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

  To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  My applications are compatible?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  What can I do to get a new update?

  Thank you.

  6 easy tips to speed up OS X Yosemite on your Mac.

  Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan acti... See also:

  Start in Safe Mode , and then repair your hard disk and permissions:

  Fix the hard disk and permissions before Lion

  Boot from your OS X install disk. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu. After that the charges of THE select your entry from hard drive (mfgr. ID and car size) in the list on the left.  In the status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until it appears the screen of Menu utilities. Otherwise, restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the OPTION key until the Boot Manager screen. Select recovery HD disk icon and click on the button below.

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility. After that the charges of THE select your entry from hard drive (mfgr. ID and car size) in the list on the left.  In the status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed.

If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no error is not reported, then click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the main menu. Select restart from the Apple menu.

  Restart your computer normally and see if it helped at all. Then do little maintenance:

  For disk utility can't handle situations, the best third party is Disk Warriorutility;  Fixed DW only for problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by the corruption of directory; Warrior drive 4.x is now compatible with Intel Mac.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.
