Some serious problems with Mountain Lion

- Keyboard problem with Pages:

You need to give Apple the details here (not buried in a billion other ML postings):

http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html

WiFi:

Widely reported. For some reason, since the release of Lion and now ML, SOME Mac's (NOT All) have been having problems with WiFi. There are numerous threads on the both the Lion and MBP forums and now on the ML forum.

No one can figure it out. No one fix for the problem and or No fix at all for Some Mac's.

Keyboard/Pages:

Have No idea as you are using a Non standard keyboard (Non standard for me maybe not for you).

Messages:

No Idea don't use it.

I did a Semi Clean install of ML. I created another partition on my drive and installed ML into that clean, IE Not over the top of my Lion install. Then I used the system when you first start the computer to copy all my Files/Programs/Setting from my Lion partition into the ML partition/OS.

So far everything has been working in ML. But then everything worked on my Mac with Lion.

So you may want to Restore your Mac to Lion from the Time Machine backup you did just before you install ML then try the Clean install method I used to see if ML works properly on your Mac.

- Wifi problem:

Try this:

-Disconnect your ethernet and reboot.

-After rebooting, go to network prteferences.

-Click the unlock to allow you to make changes

(If not already unlocked)

-Click the little gear thing popup menu

-Select Service Order and move the WiFi

to top of list.

-Turn WiFi on.

-Then join the wiFi network you want.

If that fails, then try deleting the WiFi interface

(Select WiFi, then hit the - button) then re add

it by hitting the + button. Then go through the

connect process. Also, if you want this to be

your primary network access move it to the top

of the list using the method above.

I submitted a feedback to Apple. Hope they will fix it soon

I assume you can use other apps, like TextEdit or OpenOffice, OK? I would not count on quick fix from Apple on anything related to Pages...

HI,

- Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couldn't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.

Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)

What Messages to what type of Buddies or Contacts ?

This

I found out that the problem with my wifi was my MBP received automatically a ridiculous IP such as 169.254.170.0 instead of 192.168.1.4 as it should be.

WIll be part of the Issue as will be DNS issues.

mDNSresponder crashed with Handsoff! v1.5.3. After upgrading Handsoff! to v2.0.2, it works again.

In this case mDNSresponder also being stopped will stop DNS working.

I would guess if you have resolved these that you can Chat to people again.

WiFi - try giving your Mac a DHCP Client ID

System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> DHCP Client ID: abcdefghijk

Some routers have issues if the client computer does not have a DHCP Client ID.

It is worth a shot.

I feel most Mac user should open system Preferences-.Network p[ane and disonnect from you wi-Fi for the monent. Thne while in the Network pane, at the top of the pane, is the 'location' drop-down bar. There in that 'Location' drop-down select 'Edit Locations...'. When Locations box appears select the + button and add a custom named Location (don't worry it will work better then 'Automatic'), calling it whatever you want, and then hit the 'done' button. Finally to save this new Location click the "Apply' button at thje bottm of the Network pane. Then rejoin your wireless network and it you Airport connection will work a lot better.

IMHO its good to make several Network pane 'Locations' and switch between them on my laptop. This way I can have my home network settings and my Roaming network settings. This keeps those two Network settings seperate so those settings never get crossed. Also in the System Preferences->Network pane don't be afraid of the 'Avanced Button and in the Airport card the 'Wi-Fi' mini-tab it is always good to delete old network connections you will never use again.

HI,

It's a long time since I had to use that in iChat.

Probably about iChat 3

However I would say the info is still valid - that in same cases manually setting the settings can be better than letting the System Find them.

I had the WiFi issue too with my late 2010 iMac... had to change the router settings to WPA2 instead of WEP security. According to Apple Care, the WEP security is too old school for the new software. HTH.
