Re: Mail
Hi Peter, Do you get an Error Message? Who is your Mail Server? Do you see a 'Squiggle' or a 'Bang' beside an Account Name? A 'Squiggle' by an Account Name means not connected to the Mail Server, you might also find you are not online with your computer... 1. Check your Internet Connection to see you can still access the Internet. 2. Click the 'squiggle' symbol next to an account name, some times this jogs the connection back to life. 3. Check Mail Server availability. Mail Servers occasionally crash. A 'Bang' symbol (a triangle with an !), means that Account had a failed connection. This means Mail could not contact the server, but received an error message before it could login. 1. Click the 'Bang' symbol to see the error message Mail encountered. In the dialogue that appears, click 'Take All Accounts Online. 2. Check your authentication method. On Mail's Accounts preferences select your Account and click the Advanced button. At the bottom of the advanced view set the Authentication pop-up menu to Password, close the Preferences window (saving changes when prompted), and try to connect again. 3. Verify your SSL setting. some POP IMAP servers support SSL, some don't.

That is the first statement at the beginning of Get Info for the droplet. Droplets are drag and drop applications that you create within Photoshop from Actions, which are essentially scripts.

Re: Photoshop CS6 and Mountain Lion.
Hi Severin, So Droplets - File Get Info shows Kind: Application (32-bit) These droplets were not originally created in CS6, is that correct? You have tried in a new User Account (as Daniel suggested); do your existing droplets work fine in the new user account? You have now re-created them in CS6 but they are still indicating they have been created in 32-bit? Did you also try (as Daniel suggested) System Preferences Security Privacy - General and 'Allow applications downloaded from:' and changing it to 'Anywhere' to see if that makes a difference to the droplets?

Re: Photoshop CS6 and Mountain Lion.
Yes, the first thing I did when trouble arose was to recreate them. They worked previously in Lion too. As I noted earlier, the Action (script) runs fine when you use it in the File/Automate/ Batch mode but fails when that script is made into a Droplet(Applet). On dragging and dropping a file to it in the dock it gives it gives one half hearted bounce then nothing. Normally it would open Photoshop and carry on. I am sure Adobe will come out with fix in due course, clearly there is something in Mountain Lion that jars with Create Droplet function, or rather running that droplet.

iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Hi Ronni, I have tried Repair Database and this time it didn't flick/bypass through to the two messages it presented me with the with the The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto, appeared. I thought you bewty and I clicked - Upgrade. Then the second message The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto appeared again, with the only option - Quit. Now as there is a grey spinning wheel showing under, the message and in light of what occurred on a previous occasion I am loath to closed down iPhoto in case it is actually Repairing the Database, so I have left it spinning away, lest I stuff it up. Oh how I loved my Canon T90 and my Kodak 100. Matt. (I think I may have posted this incorrectly as it came back as Today's Topics: 1.

Re: iPhoto doesn't open after Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Hi Matt, Is this the same iPhoto Library that you had all the trouble with in Snow Leopard when it would not upgrade the Library? Did you eventually have it working without any problems in SL? Is the Grey Spinning Wheel still going since 10:20AM, or what happened?

Re: Mail
Hi Ronni On 11/08/2012, at 2:53 PM, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Peter, Do you get an Error Message? No Who is your Mail Server? Westnet, I think. or maybe CrazyDomains. Do you see a 'Squiggle' or a 'Bang' beside an Account Name? No, not that I'm aware of. A 'Squiggle' by an Account Name means not connected to the Mail Server, you might also find you are not online with your computer... No squiggle that I'm aware of. Definitely connected to the internet 1. Check your Internet Connection to see you can still access the Internet. Yes 2. Click the 'squiggle' symbol next to an account name, some times this jogs the connection back to life. ? 3. Check Mail Server availability. Mail Servers occasionally crash. Yes, available to other computers A 'Bang' symbol (a triangle with an !), means that Account had a failed connection. This means Mail could not contact the server, but received an error message before it could login. Yes, the Bang symbol is there, and stays there until I close Mail and re open. Then comes back when I lose connection. 1. Click the 'Bang' symbol to see the error message Mail encountered. In the dialogue that appears, click 'Take All Accounts Online. Yes I do that but it makes no difference. 2. Check your authentication method. On Mail's Accounts preferences select your Account and click the Advanced button. At the bottom of the advanced view set the Authentication pop-up menu to Password, close the Preferences window (saving changes when prompted), and try to connect again. Already there 3. Verify your SSL setting. some POP IMAP servers support SSL, some don't. Nothing's changed there. After closing and reopening the program Mail, it downloads any mail and stays connected for some time, then seems to disconnect after a while. It's not consistant with the time it takes to go offline. It's not a huge problem at this stage, as it's variable I'll see what happens in the future. It may fix itself after a while or it may get worse, I'll carry on learning about ML and see what happens.

Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
Hi, I've recently bought a new iMac loaded with Lion, and qualify for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion. I went through the dialogue to get my redeem code, but our internet connection is very poor out in the country, and the upgrade failed to download (timed out and told me my connection was too slow). No problem - I'd followed the thread open by Tim Law and figured I could get the local Apple reseller to download it and put it onto a thumb drive for me. While T4 is prepared to do this for me they tell me I have to bring my iMac in to the store - they can't just use my serial number and Apple Id to get the code. I'm not keen on lugging my machine into Albany unless I really have to. Has anyone made use of an Apple Store or reseller to get a copy of Mountain Lion? If so, were you able to get it on a thumb drive or did you need to cart the machine in?

Re: Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
Kaye, I have a saved copy of the 4.7GB Mountain Lion installer which I will happily put on a thumb drive for you. I realise I may be committing a crime here but respect your bona fides as to your purchase. Drop in when convenient, but let me know in advance, we are not always at home.
