How do I redownload mountain lion for a clean install on the same machine without purchasing again?

I purchased mountain lion and upgraded my OS.  The system seems to still be having some issues and I'd like to do a clean install with the new OS.  How do I redownload mountain lion so that I can make a bootable disk and do my clean install?

You should be able to just go to the App Store and select Download again. If that doesn't work, try holding down the option key while selecting "Buy".
Good luck,

  • How do i enable office applications for all user accounts on the same machine?

    Hi All,
    I just purchased a new MBA and Office Hame & Business. Coming from the windows world I thought that one installation of office should be available to all accounts that I set up on the same machine.  I set-up the user accounts then installed office 2011 for MAC and tried to access office from my daughters account -> can not locate office?  Does MS expect that you need to purchase a separate copy of office for each user on the same machine??  I also don't want to waste precious harddrive space in the MBA to have separate copies of the same application installed.
    Any help would be appreciated....
    Andrew

    One install allows all your users to use Office.  All your users have access to the Applications folder where the office apps are installed.  Do you see the office folder from your daughters account in applications?

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?  Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

    You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select  Mountain Lion.
    Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

  • I've reset my PPAM before to get around Firmware lock, but I've upgraded to mountain lion and now need to do the same thing, but I can't reset the PRAM. I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do?

I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do? Also, I can not get start up chimes unless I have the factory startup disk in. Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.

  • When installing mountain lion on my computer, why does it say "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired."

    I'm unable install mountain lion on my computer. Every time it says "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again." So I press the only button listed as an option, it restarts, and the same screen comes up again. I can't make mountain lion go away...I've tried many times. What is wrong with my computer? It's stuck like this and I can't even get snow leopard back on there if I wanted to because I can't get away from the same screen. Please help : (

    Insert your OS installer disk in the optical drive. Power the Mac down by holding down the power button. Then power back up and hold down the 'c' key so the MBP boots to the installer disk. From Disk Utility you should do a Repair Disk. If DU successfully repairs the disk quit the installer and reboot your Mac. You should update to 10.6.8 prior to upgrading to ML.

    Then do your ML upgrade install.

  • HT201272 I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

    Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion for free?

    I purchased my MBP in July last year. I need to create a bootable drive of OS. In the app store, it is not showing OSX Lion. There is only the option of downloading Mountain Lion, but that isn't free.
    If I am correct, I am entitled to a free upgrade, right? How do I download Mountain Lion free of cost? I want to have a bootable drive at hand, just in case my MBP goes kaput, like it did about 10 days back.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    No, unfortunately that was the Up-To-Date Program and I think you're a bit late for that. Right now ,the only available DL is Mountain Lion and it's no longer free.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion onto my other iMac, after the initial install?

    I am wondering how to download Mountain Lion onto my second iMac, after the initial install.  I understand the purchase is for multiple computers, but I have completed the install on my first iMac.

    Once you’ve purchased Mountain Lion, find the installer on your Mac. It’s called Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and it should have been downloaded to your main Applications folder (/Applications).
    Right-click (or Control+click) the installer, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu.
    In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support; you’ll see a disk image file called InstallESD.dmg.
    Launch Disk Utility.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disk image into the bottom (empty area) of Disk Utility’s sidebar (on the left).
    In Disk Utility, select InstallESD.dmg in the sidebar, and then click the Open button in the toolbar to mount the disk image’s volume in the Finder. The mounted volume is called Mac OS X Install ESD, and it also appears below InstallESD.dmg in Disk Utility.
    Select Mac OS X Install ESD in Disk Utility’s sidebar, then click the Restore button in the main part of the window.
    Drag the Mac OS X Install ESD icon into the Source field on the right (if it isn’t already there).
    Connect to your Mac the properly formatted hard drive or flash drive you want to use for your bootable Mountain Lion installer.
    In Disk Utility, find this destination drive in the left-hand sidebar and then drag it into the Destination field on the right. (If the destination drive has multiple partitions, just drag the partition you want to use as your bootable installer volume.) Warning: The next step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
    Click Restore, and then Erase in the dialog box that appears; if prompted, enter an admin-level username and password.

  • How to get iPhoto and iTunes to a clean installed Yosemite from Time Machine

    I wiped the Hard Drive and clean installed to OS X Yosemite. For Some reason, some of my Time Machine back ups disappeared or got deleted and it wasn't even full. I had back ups from 2011 and now it only starts from 2013 of June.
    Next....when I try to restore my other apps(like iPhoto and my iTunes) I doesn't give that warp space effect in the background. It gives me the window layer effect but I just see the same mountain background on the desktop as the default Yosemite(unless thats how its suppose to look like that?) I can't restore using Time Machine because the little lines at the right are red (see screen shot) and it won't let me restore, and if i go back by using the arrows, if freezes. So,
    I don't know how to install the old iTunes and iPhoto on my existing clean installed Yosemite from my Time Machine.
    Can someone help me?

    @ LarryHN Thank you ver much for you help I understand now that you just can't copy over the old library(got it)
    I had the latest version of iPhoto before I cleaned installed.
    The link you gave me was most informative and I want to thank you. But still problems arrive.
    This came up and I don't know which one to pick

  • How do I redownload mountain lion

    I purchased a new iMac that came with Mountain Lion 10.8, it did not come with the install disk. Is there a way to download the installation software?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    There's no way to download the entire installer that I know of when 10.8 is included with the Mac. You can, however, create a recovery disk from which you can boot a system and reinstall when/if necessary. See:

  • How could i get Mountain lion back if it came with the macbook i bought?

    Hey everyone!
    i bought a Macbook pro 15 mid 2012, it came with Mountain lion, could i get it back having OS X Yosemite now?
    Also, and more important, how?
    i heard that it's possible from Internet recovery (Restating pulsing Cmd+Option+r, i guess??), but then it would download the OS from apple (Which probably is Yosemite, i don't think their servers still have mountain lion, do they?)
    it's not on the Appstore anymore (Not even Mavericks), and i really don't want to get it from a Torrent.
    Thanks!

    Are you sure i will get Mountain lion after recovering from the internet?
    because that sounds amazing! but i am afraid i erase the whole HD and then i get Yosemite again haha
    After you restart in Internet Recovery and you get to the OS X Utilities Menu, BEFORE you erase your drive look at the OS X icon to the left of the option to Reinstall OS X. THAT will tell you what your machine came preinstalled with and if it's a Mountain Lion, you're good to go.

  • I've replaced my old mountain lion HD with clean install Mavericks. I want to transfer iPhoto images. ML just has non opening folder that does not relate to Mav iPhoto. how to transfer please. thanks.

    Hi, sorry that a lot of info in subject heading.
    Here is copy of ML Finder iphoto
    Here is the Maverick finder window. i see the same iphoto library exists as an item of the iphoto library but wonder if there needs to be a software import to ensure it goes in the right place or whether just to copy and paste.
    Thanks for your help.
    David

    If you have not imported anything into the iPhoto Library on Mavericks, copy the old iPhoto Library over to the Mavericks computer and start iPhoto. It should grab the Library and convert it.
    If you put it in a different place, hold down the Option key when you open iPhoto and it will ask where the Library is you wish to use.
