American MacBook, Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion from UK store?

I have an American MacBook with Snow Leopard. Can I download and install Mountain Lion from the UK store?
Thanks

I do, but I was checking to see if software from the UK store was compatible with hardware sold in the US.

  • How to restore macbook after downloading Mountain Lion from app store

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion from the app store. How do I restore my Macbook to it's factory settings without the CD? (Since I downloaded it online without the CD)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want to reinstall the original Mac OS X version that came with your computer, you need the Mac OS X DVD that came with the computer.
    If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, the installer creates a recovery partition to reinstall OS X and do some maintenance tasks. You can access to it pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting

    You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
    I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

  • Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

    Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
    Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

    I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error.  I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail.  After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error.  However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution.  I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop.  So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x.  The install then went off without a hitch.  I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

  • How can I upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion from Leopard 10.5.8?

    I can't find any way to get Snow Leopard from the apple store. It is on Amazon for $100+ and there are lots of fake ''free'' downloads online, but I don't want to use them?
    Is there any ways to get to Snow Leopard or Lion from this old opperating system?!
    My mac is a 2008 Macbook Pro.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I just bought the iphone 5 but have a 2009 Macbook Pro so was running 10.5.8. Needed to upragde to snow leopard then to mountain lion. S.L. is no longer available in stores. The guy in the shop told to cal apple support (0800 048 0408) but was skepitcal. Amazin was quite expensive so I ended up ringing just to check... TOTALLY WORTH IT! Got it for £13, when I would have paid about £70. Apparently they are trying to encourage people to get SL so they can get the icloud.
    Ring up! Honestly, their customer serivce was so helpful and lovely. Whole episode has reminded me why I love Apple.

  • 12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10  MacOSX 10.6.8 updated to snow leopard&mountain lion I use adobe flash

    12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10  MacOSX 10.6.8
    updated to snow leopard& mountain lion I use adobe flash. My preferences allow all plug ins.

    If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
    My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
    So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.

  • Can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining

    can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining,
    I alreasy paid for it
    Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

  • Trouble with downloading os x mountain lion from app store

    Hi! I purchased the new os x mountain lion from app store but I have trouble with downloading it. Its starts the download but constantly stops after few mbs and says an error has occured, check you internet connection. My internet connection is fine, everything else works even downloading other apps. Has anyone an idea how to fix the problem?

    Firewalls and anti-virus software can interfer with iTunes/Mac App Store downloads.

    puchased mountain lion from app store and tried downloading via store 4 times, always rcvg an alert stating "error downloading"
    Is there any other mean to get the mountain lion.
    I ve a 512kbps connection.

    I believe you have correctly identified your 512kbps connection as the source of the problem.
    The Mountain Lion download is more than 4 gigabytes.  You should try hard to find a much better, faster, more robust connection.

  • Mountain Lion from Apps Store won't download?

    Purchased Mountain Lion from Apps Store - but it will not havedoIwnload. The Icon just appears and it says " waiting " for an hour or so and does nothing?

    Yes as long as these are both your computers. Transfer target disk mode, USB flash drive, external HD, DVD, Dropbox, etc
    Are the computer close by and portable or at a distance??  This might dictate how you move your download.

  • Mail app and Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

    I have, and use, 3 different Macs, an older MacMini running Snow Leopard, an older MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks.  My personal email account, setup using the Mail.app, works fine on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  On the MBP running Mavericks, I setup the Mail.app using the same settings as on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  It doesn't work.  Nothing but timeouts.
    I've read a lot about the problems with Mavericks and IMAP and updated Mavericks apps, including Mail.  Still no go.  I'm not so much asking for help as registering that the IMAP problems aren't fixed.
    But if anyone has some ideas, I'm listening.
    Thanks all!
    Brenda

    I'd check to see if the latest version of the plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible or not, unless you have a really large number of plug-ins to deal with, where you could just see what's broke and what's not, post upgrade. But beware of retaining the old ones. For example, 10.6 Mail broke the GPG-Mail plug-in that works under 10.5.x. Search the Snow Leopard Mail forum using the search phrase "GPG Mail" OR GPGMail OR "GPG-Mail" or other mail plug-in names of interest to you.

  • I had erase my hardrive and need to reinstall OS X, do I need to reinstall Snow Leopard/mountain lion first before Maverick will take

    I had to erase my HD, I have Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion was added for an upgrade after that, now when I try to download the OS X, my HD looks like it going to take it, then it goes no where. And now what is showing up is OS X  Maverick for a download, which I didn't even know it existed until I had to down load.  I am wondering will I have redownload Snow Leopard or Mountain lion  before the OS X Maverick will download.
    thank you

    Well, you can do an erase and install via the Recovery HD:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Download older Version of Mountain Lion from App Store

    Hi,
    Since i have lot's of problems with 10.8.5 i wanted to know if there is a way to download an older Version of Mountain Lion from the App Store?
    I tried yesterday but it auto downloaded version 10.8.5. I tried to backup from time machine but this screwed up things completely...

    ...is a way to download an older Version of Mountain Lion from the App Store?
    Nope, your stuck with it breaking things or being buggy, no way to revert to a earlier verison.
    If you made a bootable clone you could, simply hold the option key and boot off the clone and reverse clone 10.8.4 back on.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So since you can't go back, you can attempt to fix in place, provided it's not a OS X bug that has to be fixed.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Your likely going to need to do #8 and restore OS X over itself, any third party software that doesn't work, check for a update or problems on the developers forums BEFORE reinstalling it or your problems will most likely return.

  • Can't download 10.8 mountain lion from app store

    Hi,
    I own a 2008 mac pro. The system drive was still running an original install of osx (upgraded to the latest version of 10.8). It had become pretty slow, so I bought a new ssd for a fresh install of the os.
    I own 10.6 on dvd, which I have used previously on another computer to acomplish the exact same thing I'm trying to do here; install 10.6 on a new drive, then upgrade to 10.8 (the only way I know how to do this).
    So I did the usual - new drive in, old drive out, install 10.6, update 10.6 until the "app store" becomes available. So I'm now running 10.6.8. I open the app store, log in, go to "my purchases" and see osx mountain lion sitting in the list. It says I purchased it on the 12th of November, 2012, which is correct. If I click on "osx mountain lion", the app store informs me that "Item not available. The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK store". I bought the "item". I paid good money Apple. Why can't I download this? If I click "download" a little spinny thing appears for a couple of seconds next to the back/forward arrows, then disappears.
    10.9 is unsupported with the software I use - everyone's reporting faults, so I need 10.8. Can someone help? Obviously I can just put the old drive back in, but this NEEDS to be available somehow...?
    Thanks

    That's good to hear.
    After some mucking about I managed to get it downloading on another computer (which is already running 10.8). Hopefully I should be able to copy it over and install.
    But I will let Apple know - potentially pretty disasterous for people.
    Thanks.
