[Editor's note: This article is part of our.] Apple has, and while we’ve got a, those looking to install the new OS also have more-practical matters: Getting their Macs ready for Mountain Lion. As with Lion (OS X 10.7) last year, Apple is advertising Mountain Lion as dead-simple to install. But as with every major upgrade to OS X, there are a few things you can do before upgrading to ensure that your Mac is ready to go. The requirement that your Mac be running OS X 10.6.8. But the OS would offer to download and install Rosetta. Get your Mac ready for Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). Reader X, who wishes to remain anonymous (which shouldn’t be hard with a name like X), desires to play it old school. He/She/It writes: I recently had a new hard drive installed on my Intel MacBook Pro. System is 10.6.8. Prior to the new hard drive, I could run applications that used Rosetta, e.g. With the new hard drive, Rosetta is no longer present, and I can’t find out how to re-install it. Normally when you try to run a PowerPC application under Snow Leopard a dialog box appears, indicating that said application can’t run natively and you need to acquire Rosetta. If your Mac is connected to the Internet, clicking a button in this dialog box downloads and installs Rosetta. If that isn’t doing the trick, insert your Snow Leopard disc, open the Optional Installs folder on that disc, and double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package. The Installer will open and you’ll be prompted to click Continue a couple of times and then choose a destination for the installation. Choose your startup volume and click Continue yet again. In the Custom Install on “nameofvolume” window that appears, enable the Rosetta option and click Continue.
