Downloading OSX Mountain Lion

The more often I call Apple in Japan, the more confusion I get:
1. When I told them, my Mac Pro is not connected to the Internet, I was told, when I use my MBP (which is connected to the Internet) to download OSX M L, I can choose the location where it is saved, and dthen can install it on an other machine.
Not true! I bought the OS today, and it right away wanted to install it on my MBP.
Before I typed the password on the computer, I called the Apple Store.
I was assured, once I used my Apple ID, I can also download it to my MP without any additional charge.
I connected my MP and went to the Apple Store, and again it ask my to pay.
So what is the truth about the whole upgrade?
I sometimes need to reinstall my OS, what will I do? Everytime I will have to pay again?

Sure, he wants to buy the 10.8. .. but he needs as base the 10.6.
He also does not want to use the 10.6. just to be able to buy the 10.8.
I am not sure, can you install the 10.6. without registering?
I am not too familiar with those things, all I know, everything runs over your Apple ID.
Which means, you can not download any apps (incl. the 10.8.) without an Apple ID.
On the other hand, not sure it will run at all on his machine... he was talking about a black Mac Book.

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

    What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

  • HT1338 Will MacBook white users be able to download OSX Mountain Lion on their laptops?

    Supported models include "MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)."  So your model is more than new enough...  If you currently have Lion, you will be able to download and install Mountain Lion.

  • I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException

    I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and installed it on my lap top. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly when ever I try to scan a document.

    Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    According to www.roaringapps.com the MP Navigator EX does not run on Mountain Lion.
    There are different versions of MP Navigator available depending on the Canon device you have. And there are version of this app that do work on 10.8. So www.roaringapps.com would need to amend their statement.

    Instead I use Canon Solution Menu EX, which does even more for you than the MP Navigator. This Solution Menu runs perfectly on Mountain Lion.
    Solution Menu is just a front-end for other Canon applications. When you click on the Use Scanner menu and select Auto Scan, OCR or Attach To E-mail, MP Navigator will open.
    As for the OP, they can obtain the latest version of MP Navigator, which is 10.8 compatible, and the supporting scanner driver via this link.

    And you don't need to uninstall an older version. The new version will overwrite.

  • I downloaded OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store but I can't download to my other mac

    I downloaded Mac OSX Mountain Lion via the App Store.  My understanding is that you can download it on up to 3 machines?
    I have downloaded it to one iMac and one MBP but have one more to do.  I've accessed the App Store with my admin logon on my last MBP to download it but can't seem to find it in my purchased history to do it.
    I can go into iTunes into my account and then purchase history where it's recorded, but there's nothing here about how to download it again?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Log into the Mac App Store using the EXACT same Apple ID as before when you first purchased ML, and in your Account look under "Purchases", where you can download it again.
    Hope this helps

  • Where to download OSX Mountain Lion (now that Mavericks is out)?

    I have a 2005 Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo running 10.7.5 and tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to Mavericks.  Because the Macbook is too old, Mavericks is not supported on it.
    So given that, I'd like to upgrade the Macbook to the last version of OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.  But can't find it in the App store any more.  Is there someplace to download and install this older version for older computers like mine?

    I called Apple Support Sales, 800-My-Apple, and their response was that while 10.9 Mavericks is free for download, those computers that cannot support 10.9, but are on 10.7.5 or earlier can PURCHASE 10.8 at $19.95.
    I found this unfair, given that newer Macs can upgrade for free, but older ones have to pay to get an older version of the SW.  It looks like either I come up with $19.95, get a new MacBook Pro, or just stay with 10.7.5.
    I don't think that this is good customer relations.
