I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do?

I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

Do I need to buy a separate download of Mountain Lion for each Mac that I own?

No, not if you bought it as an upgrade option.

Guys! can anyone tell me how can i download OX mountain lion for my mac?

I need to download Mac OX mountain lion 10.8 for my friend. Can anyone share how can i download it and from where ..???

The purchase of Mountain Lion is not an "all you share license". The person who buys ML on their App Store account can install it on as many Macs as they own. No one else's.
It's only $20. Have your friend buy their own copy.

I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

Squasha9 it would appear that the DMG you downloaded is corrupted. Where did you download the installation files from? You can download a copy of the installation files from Download CS6 products.

Has anyone else developed the problem of an over-sensitive MacBook AIr cursor? In the last few days mine has developed a mind of its own, and when you move it to the desired spot it can jump quite randomly. In mail, I try reply but it's jumped to "fwd"!

Received notice of an update for one of my apps and when I tried to update the message reads "Account Not in this store" i must switch to a Canadian store before purchasing

Received notice of an update for one of my apps and when I tried to update the message reads "Account Not in this store" i must switch to a Canadian store before purchasing. I deleted app and tried to download again but still got the message. Anyone know how to fix? FYI have had phone for 2 years and this is the first time this has happened.

The Apple id that you created do you remember if you created with your region sellected as Canada or US. If so you can change Region directly on your device by clicking on App Store icon, Scroll to bottom and tap your app is, click view acct and change region

HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password. I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. P.S. iCloud is off.

The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

Have you:

Do I get a free upgrade to Mountain lion on my MacBookPro if I just purchased a new Mac Book Air with Mountain Lion installed?

Sorry, no.

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed. Now disk utility only has the option to install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow. Anyone any ideas as my Mac won't load anything up but disc utility!

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed on initial setup, USB cable popped out Now can only access disk utility as won't load to log in screen. The only has the option in disc utility is to re-install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow or loading another time machine back up but after an hour of it processing, that didn't resolve the issue either! The time machine back up is the latest back up of my Mac Book Pro which was using OS X Maverix. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my Mac to the store but that would be a hassle so does anyone have any ideas?

Follow this guide using another Mac.
Insert your newly created Mavericks USB into you Mac, press the power button and then hold down 'option,' until it gives you an option to boot from the USB. You will then be able to erase the internal disk with Disk Utility and reinstall Mavericks straight after.
After that you should be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your applications and user data.

How do I get my free copy of Mountain Lion?

I'm a very excited Apple customer because I received my MacBook Pro (Retina Display) today! Now that I have it, I would like to download my free copy of Mountain Lion! The only issue is, when I went to the website to enter in the purchase date, etc., I cannot proceed. I bought it online through the Apple Education Store, so I'm wondering (and this may be a simple question), but would that be considered an Apple Reseller (since I bought it through my school) or would the purchase be considered to be through the Apple Online Store? Thanks for helping me with this seemingly simple problem!

Congratulations on a sweet machine! I will eventually upgrade to Mountain Lion, but not until 2 or 3 months have passed to shake out the glitches, etc. that are invariably in a new product with this much complexity.
As to your question, I scanned this "community" yesterday and recall coming upon another Retina owner who was bemoaning the fact that he was still waiting for his email from Apple that would allow him to download his free upgrade to Mt. Lion.
Now, I have not done actual research into your situation, but thought I would pass along my findings of yesterday. Try searching in the forum for related postings. Good luck, and have fun with that Retina display!!
