In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

How do I speed this up. I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right.
The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

How to do a clean install of Lion download from App store

How do you do a clean install of Lion downloaded from the App store. I downloaded and it installed but never was there a time of the installation it gave me an option to do a clean install. Thanks for any help.

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Don't want to reinstall 10.8 from app store i have the disc but how? HELP!

Turned my Imac on the other day and it keept getting stuck at the start, so i started disc utility by long pressing alt. Verified disc, which faild and verified permission which also failed. It said i had to back up and format my drive. Since i already had a Recovery disc i went ahead and formatted the disc. After reset i went into the disc and menu came up for Restoring, Renistalling os, disc utility etc. If i click on reinstall osx it asks me to sign in the app stores and when i sign in it says "you need the account from which OSx was downloaded." Since i never downloaded it and i have the disc 10.6.2 on hand how can i reinstall from that disc?
I don't know how to restore from the (locked) backup drive so i figured i will just reset the whole thing. Data in that mac in not important so i just want to reinstall the thing from my disc which came with my other imac.
Thanks for the help!

Is the 10.6.2 disc you have the original Install Disc from another Mac.

I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

How do I download iWork 09 from App Store

I own iWork 09 which I downloaded to upgrade 08 before the App Store existed. None of the apps show as installed in the App store. I tried to download them so I could receive the updates, and download to the other Mac's I own. The App store said that they were already installed and to use Software Update to update. Software update shows them to be the most recent versions which match the versions on the App store.
How do I get the App store versions, especially if I am willing to pay for them, again.

I am in the same situation. Before the Mac App Store, the way to get iWork was to download a 30-day trial version, and then purchase a license/registration key from apple.com.
I recently had to reinstall on a new computer and I had to go through this procedure:
Find the page to download the iWork trial.
Download and install iWork manually.
Log in to my apple.com store account.
Find the registration key in my purchase history.
I asked Apple about the possibility of transferring my license key to the Mac App Store, since both accounts are under the same Apple ID. This is the response, for everyone's information:
I understand that you are looking for the possibility of transferring a software purchase from the Apple Store Online to the App Store in iTunes in exchange it in a form of an app.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer those purchases from two different store. Although it shares the same account name, purchases are separate and is being supported by different groups.
You may want to try to contact the Apple ON Line Store and inquire about their return policies, so you can repurchase the software thru the App Store in iTunes.
Thanks for understanding.
It's understandable, but it seems so un-Apple.

How to download Mountain Lion without the App Store?

How I'm able to download and purchase Mountain Lion without App Store?
I removed the App Store since it was annoying in my application bar and I didn't use it anyway. Right after I searched up all files connected to it and deleted them. This was about 6 months ago.
Now I need to run a program that requires Java 7, which is only available for Lion+
Since Mountain Lion was coming out in a few days I waited on it, now it's out and I can't purchase it >.>

Restore your system from your Time Machine backup.
Or if you do not have a full system backup make one using Time Machine. Then download the 10.6.8 combo updater and appy it to your system <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399>.
Or, you can purchase OS X 10.8 on your Macbook Pro, download, transfer the installer to iMac and install it. Just be sure and backup the installer to an external HDD BEFORE you install it on the iMac.
In the future just remove the icon from the Dock and you won't have this problem. Also, make backups.

How can I download Lion without the app store?

My friend bought his Macbook pro summer 2009 so whatever operating system that it came with (10.5 lepord I believe) did not download the app store when it updated. Now he wants to put lion on his macbook pro. Is there a way to download it without the app store? If not, how can he get the app store?
Any help would be great!

Yes, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard before upgrading to Lion. You can purchase Snow Lion from the online Apple Store, a brick-and-mortar Apple Store, or from Amazon.
Then you will have the App Store application and you can upgrade to Lion.

How to backup up Garageband '11 from App Store?

Hi,
I bought Garageband '11 for my iMac from the App Store and downloaded all the application files, loops and free piano tutorials. This took ages on my 5mb broadband connection, but I got there in the end.
This was on a fresh install of the 10.6.0 Snow Leopard Retail disk, updated to 10.6.6, with no other additional apps installed. I only use my iMac for Garageband as I have a very fast Core i7 PC for everything else.
Can anybody tell me, how do I back up the complete app and files for quick and easy reinstall? Or rather, what is the location of all the various Garageband files other than the app, and if I back them all up, would I just be able to drag and drop them back to their original location in the event of a system refresh, or is there more involved regarding the registry of the software in the system?
I don't use Time Machine to backup my complete system as I regularly manually backup all my Garageband creations to an external hard drive and DVD-ROM.
Thanks!

HT204266 how do I remove a user from app store

The app store will not allow me to update my apps without updating a user that was the previous owner of the laptop. How do I remove this person from the computer etc.

If you mean an iTunes store id then Settings > Store - touch the id on the right and select sign-out from the popup. You can also do it via the bottom of the Feature tab in the App Store app. If you have any apps on the iPad that were downloaded/installed via that id then you may want to delete them - if updates for them ever appear in the App Store then you will only be able to update them via the id that was used to buy them (apps are linked to the account id, not to the device that they are on)

Error message when reinstall numbers '09 from apps store

Asking for a client.
I printed the error message which came from the system when trying to open.
Client had deleted his previous version of numbers '09 from launchpad instead of his '08 version.
Now reinstalled.
upon opening numbers, the program just crashes when numbers starts up.
any ideas?
He's tried time machine, which 'see's' the program, but does not let him run the 'missing program.
I tried install his purchased copy from the apps store.
it says it is installing but then says install once completed.
any suggestions?
this client had used apple works, converted files to numbers '08.
The 'recent files' in '08 won't open at all.
I think the system can't find the application to make the correct install.

Here is an update and more information: I actually have two MBP's. One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012. I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently. This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012. I have authorized both computers.
