Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help me...

1. Initially when I was installing Lion I wanted to do a clean install using a flash USB, but couldnt seem to do it, so i gave in and upgraded instead, then after upgrading I rebooted with cmd+R, erased 'Macintosh HD' then reinstalled ML... is this sill a long route of a clean install?

2. When airplay mirroring is my mac supposed to loose the sound, and the sound only come through my TV?

3. Is there anyway to add your phone number to the messages app, so people receive messages from your phone number and not an email address?

Thanks

James

1. Yes, that still works with Mountain Lion and would get you a clean install.

2. Yep.

3. Setup Messages like this and they will sync between OS X and iOS, but they still won't come from your phone number in OS X Messages.
