mountain lion

Recently, I purchased an black MacBook 2.16GHz running Lion. I installed Mountain Lion with MacPostFactor, and I'm not exactly happy with it. I'm having two big problems: 1. Speed + Fans Before I installed ML, I was using Lion for a bit. Lion was fast and the fans didn't come on a lot. After I...

Hi, I am still running ML on an old 1 gen MBA. I have successfully installed the new FF 54 by changing the LSMinimumSystemVersion in Show Package contents - Contents - info.plist to 10.8.0 So ML will still have a updated, secured and supported browser for at least a couple more years… Cheers

Hi everyone, I've tried searching for solutions for this problem and I can't seem to find an answer, so am hoping that some of you on this forum can help me out: I have a MBP (mid-2009) and have an external HD which I used for my TM when I had Mountain Lion. I backed up right before I upgraded...

Few days ago I successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a late 2007 MacBook. Thought it would solve my issues with my phone no longer syncing in iTunes. Turns out iOS 10 requires iTunes 12.5 and up, which is supported only on Yosemite and later OS's, so I'm going up to that. Now I'm...

With help from a user here, I was able to finally achieve an installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on my Late 2007 MacBook 13" White. I followed their instructions which happened to be the same as the instructions within MLPostFactor V. 0.3 and even followed along a YouTube video because it did...

Hard disk failed which was running Mountain Lion but fortunately have a copy of the disk on external drive. Installed MacSierra on new drive and setup the email account. So far so good. Now I had a load of locally stored mailboxes but dont know how I can import them into Sierra. Obviously...

This procedure works perfectly as of this date - I've upgraded two MacBook 3,1 laptops this way. Use MLPostFactor, not MacPostFactor, which no longer works for Mountain Lion (as of 2.0.x). First, download MLPostFactor 0.3: http://iusethis.luo.ma/mlpostfactor/MLPostFactorV0.3.zip Then, follow...

I am wondering if it is possible to back up a mac, then use that back up on a different mac to make a twin. The end goal is to update the OS on my late 2012 iMac from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5. I have a mid 2011 iMac and a late 2013 iMac at my disposal, each running on 10.9.5. Also, I don't want to...

Hello lovely mac people, This is my first post and I would like a little advice/guidance with an issue- I recently bought a 2012 2.3ghz quad core Mac mini that had the stock 1tb drive which had a fresh mountain lion os recovery install. I decided to add an ssd, I erased the 1tb disk, bought...

Hello, (I do not speak English this is a google translation.) I have a MacBook Pro 3.1 13 inch late 2007 with Lion Version 10.7.5. I have a DVD Mountain Lion and a Key Usb Moutain Lion. I can not get the App Store version. And anyway Apple now only offers the DVD version has the purchase. Do...

Hi all, I need to update my system to use software that requires at least Mountain Lion 10.8 to work. I currently have Lion 10.7. I was thinking of getting El Capitan, which is the latest OS my system will support (Mac Pro early 2008). However, I've read that some people had issues with the...

Hi all, I have a situation involving my editing software and needing to upgrade my OS. I'm running Lion on my Mac Pro early 2008, and using FCP 7. My question has to do with an older drive that I have installed in my tower. I took the original hard drive out of an older Mac Pro running Snow...

I'm using a 2006 MacBook Pro C2D. It has a 17 inch monitor which in my opinion is amazing. Given I have a PowerBook G4, a 2009 MacBook, and a 2009 iMac, this is actually my first and only MacBook Pro. I tried TRMJIJ's upgrade to Yosemite (Mainly cause I had success with it back when I had an 08...

I have a 2008 IMac that boots into windows 7 Enterprise. I bought it used and don't know the password. I have tried so many things to reset the windows password but no luck, because it was linked to a domain and the both the Admin and the Administrator accounts are disabled. I went to restore it...

Hi guys, don't know if I should ask here for this, but here is my Issue. I have a late 2007 macbook (3,1) and I want to upgrade the OS. The latest version it officially supports is Lion. I was able to install Mountain Lion with MLpostFactor (everything worked, had to go back to lion because of a...

I am looking for an old version of Microsoft RDC to run on OSX Mountain Lion. According to the app changelog, the last version which supported Mountain Lion was 8.0.22. Since then, the app has been updated in the app store several times, and I can't seem to find the old version anywhere. Does...

EDIT: SOLUTION HERE I have a Mac Pro 5,1 (late 2009) which was sold to me with a Windows model NVidia GeForce EVGA GTX 680 4GB FTW graphics card. I don't know what most of those acronyms mean, but I was told it had been custom-flashed to work with Mac OS X, and so gave more power and VRAM for...

Hi! I read about the NVMe cards that aren't bootable because the EFI rom (off course) doesn't list them at the boot manager. The first thing i learned when fiddling around with a hackintosh (back in '05 with deadmoo image) was the "rd=" option. So since i already successfully booted OSX from an...

I need to buy a used MacBook Pro because El Capitan breaks CS5 (among other things). Few MacBooks are being sold with 10.8. Most are sold with "the latest software yay!" (Mavericks, Yosemite, or El Capitan), so i will need to downgrade. Has anyone here accomplished this? This link tells you...

I'm having a hard time deciding on if i should upgrade or not. i have a 27 inch imac late 2012 currently running Mountain Lion. the primary reason for not upgrading is i have Adobe Create Suite 6 Design Standard and i have NO intentions to upgrade to Creative Cloud ($600 a year for software so...
