Gemini is great. At $10ish is most I've ever spent on an app, but it's
saved me loads of time and given me space on my laptop. Very easy to
use also.

Hi Alan,
I forgot to mention that as soon as Mountain Lion starts up the first time,
Spotlight begins indexing (or re-indexing) all the files on all mounted
volumes. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours,
depending on how many files you have and the speed of your
Hi Ronni
Thanks for the reassurance.
I will turn T.M. on after doing some neglected domestic chores. Thanks also
for your Spotlight comment - email arrived as I was writing this! Its been a
full day exercise to get to this point, so a night of Spotlight indexing will
be a bagatelle.
Folks,
Since moving to Lion, I am unable to easily read iCal - the very pastels defeat
the objective of clear reading - I end up with no grid. How would I get back
to the SL version?

Hi Bill,
You can change the color of a calendar and all its events.
To do this, click on the Calendars button at the top left of the iCal window;
right-click on a calendar, and choose 'Get Info'.
To the right of the calendar’s name is a popup menu that lets you choose
colors.

Hi, I have 3 Macbooks in my house all attached to a Time Capsule for backing
up. One (MB1) has been backing up VERY reliably since 2009 when it was first
attached, the other two (MB2 and MB3) I thought were backing up reliably since
their connection in early 2012 but on closer inspection, it is
Hi Ronni
Just to close off this thread - - -
All is OK. Time Machine worked as you said and now shows oldest and newest
backups appropriately. This happened right at the end of the T.M. backup
sequence. BTW, I never noticed Spotlight working, but it seems to locate
things nicely. Must
Hi Peter,
Just a quick reply before I shutdown from computer work for the day.
First, it is important to distinguish this error message from another, similar
Time Machine error that states “The backup volume could not be mounted”. This
is important as the causes and cures for these two errors
Hi Alan,
If you can't get used to the new scrolling direction in Mountain Lion, you can
revert to the old style.
1) Click the Apple at top left of screen and select System Preferences...
2) Select the Trackpad icon in the Hardware row.
3) Click the Scroll Zoom tab at the top of the Trackpad
You can also do the same from the Mouse icon as well.
Though the steps would be :-
1) Click the Apple at top left of screen and select System Preferences...
2) Select the Mouse icon in the Hardware row.
3) Uncheck Scroll direction: natural
One less step ;) Sorry, couldn't resist,lol.
Yes. Well pointed out Daniel. If you have no trackpad attached the Trackpad
preferences will not open and one must make the change from the Mouse
preferences item. On the other hand if you have a MacBook with no mouse, the
mouse preferences will not open and one must make the change from the

Sorry, didn't mention that. Yes, there used to be that icon in Launchpad. It's

I never had to set it going again during the various attempts, unless I paused

There is no Mountain Lion download in Applications

Weird, You don't have Growl or anything that could be preventing a download of

Are you using OpenDNS or GoogleDNS instead of your ISP DNS?
You have checked your Modem/router?

Hello all
Getting to grips with the new features of Mountain Lion following my upgrade

I find applications are taking an appreciable time (2 to 3 times longer than
expected?) to respond. At this stage I ask WAMUG to monitor their experience.

Hi Tim,
That could be your problem, I've heard of Mac App Store download problems with
OpenDNS.
Perhaps try using Bigpond Western Australia DNS Server IP Address

Okay thanks
I'll try that.
I've left OpenDNS as the search domains, and changed the DNS server to those
you gave me.

Two things are immediately noticeable.
One is that the download in the App Store is a strong 1mb a second. ie. I timed

Second, that I used to have slow connections on iView (1Mbps) yet achieve good
