It worked fine up to Lion. The issue in Lion was that VO didn't read the first letters of a new line. But now in Mountain Lion it's terrible to use. I tried to install Snow Leopards Preview in Mountain Lion what was free of such issues, but it didn't work. Am 20.11.2012 um 17:45 schrieb Alex

No, the image won't fit on a DVD. I sort of had to go the long way around. I let it install as an upgrade, then I booted the mac in to recovery and did an erase and reinstall from there. I now have it on a flash drive though so upgrading my other macs will go much faster. On Nov 22, 2012, at

If mountain lion was preinstalled, just use the recovery to reinstall. There is also an program you can download from apple's site called the recovery assistant that will create a recovery flash drive for you. On Nov 22, 2012, at 5:19 PM, Chris Bruinenberg wrote: Mike is there a way to do a

Yes it is. Are you saying that this used to be possible and was broken? Come to think of it, navigating a lot of thins is impossible since no text seems to have line navigation enabled. Was this always the case? On Nov 20, 2012, at 11:40 AM, Jürgen Fleger apple-engl...@fleger.net wrote: A lot

I did a clean install, for new operating systems, I always do a clean install. You should not have to reinstall windows, just back up your virtual machine file to another drive first. I actually found a new mac mini from 2010 on ebay and bought it to replace the mac mini that will not run
