  • Mac mini wont run mountain Lion

    I have just purchased a 2nd hand 2009 mini mac, and have updated the snow leopard osx.
    I checked the spec to be able to run mountain Lion and my machine just meets it...core 2 duo 1.83ghz,upgraded to 2gb ram.
    I have purchased Mountain Lion for £14 from apple, and got a download link. Right at the start of the download stage, a warning pops up that my machine isn't able to run it.
    I have adequate hard drive space,and realise I am close to edge of compatability,  is it because "apple" is recognising my machine as originally having less than 2gb, thus says it is unable to run it?
    other questions are, as I ordered the download, but then it failed will I still be charged?
    also, if available could I purchase a physical disk and install either on top of my existing OS or even on a new HD.....
    I am a new convert having previously done many many windows upgrades etc, so I am learning a bit...Any help would be great, my reason for wanting to upgrade is I wan't to down load Mac Apps, which you have to have mt Lion to do?
    many thanks

    Yes, thxs for that, my current os is defo 10.6.8, i've run an update, and it says the software is up to date....
    My current o/s is I guess snow leopard, and i wan't to get to at least Lion or mountain Lion...
    I realise Mavericks is a free upgrade, but i really dont think my machine would run that, but my first issue is getting Mt Lion installed, i understand you can't buy Lion on its own so i purchased Mt Lion...
    but like i said, i am unsure if my machine meets the required spec for even that as the ram is just upgraded to 2 gb...
    is there a way around the install checking what spec the machine is that it is being installed on to?, although i am unsure if i am even near to that stage as it won't even start the down load...
    i will try again!!!
    thanks again, has anyone else got any advice...
    sorry one last thing, will it be anything linked to my serial number?, it isn't listed under "about my mac", i suspect as it may well have been effected when the ram was expanded to 2gb, would that cause an issue, I have the serial number on the original box, can i re establish that with the mac if that is the cause?

  • Can I download Mavericks installer from a machine that requires Yosemite?

    I would like to download the OS X Mavericks installer, but the only Mac I can currently connect to the Internet is too new to support Mavericks, so it tells me I can't even download it. I am trying to acquire it to prepare bootable install media for a machine which is without Internet access.

    No. Mavericks is no longer available for download or purchase. Even were you to get Mavericks you cannot install it on a model that requires Yosemite or later.
    The machine without Internet access would not be able to download Mavericks either.

    I did not expect so many changes  when I was upgrading to Maverick. I even cannot acess my i photo Library ( because it is on external harddisk and in the Mountain lion version?)
    iPhoto must be updated to use in Mavericks. Don't do this as it will update your iPhoto Library to the new version making it unusable on Mountain Lion, but if you start iPhoto while holding down the Option key, you can then tell iPhoto where your Library is located

  • Can I purchase Pages even though I'm still running Mountain Lion?

    I don't have Pages downloaded on my laptop yet, but when trying to purchase it from the App store it won't let me. All I get is an error message that says the current version of Pages requires OS X 10.9. Does this mean I can't get Pages for my computer at all?

    Search on the internet for iWork 09 disc. Apple doesn't sell them but Amazon or ebay might.

  • How can you perform a factory restore on an iMac running mountain lion, without the use of an apple id

    Hello!
    I am a computer tech working for a computer company.  We have an iMac here in the store which a customer needs restored to factory defaults. 
    I have tried the following:
         - Using 'command + r' to format and reinstall mountain lion (it is requesting an apple id that has purchased the mountain lion OS)
         - Using 'option' on boot up, same seneraio
    Is their any other way to perform some kind of equavilent procedure that would ready a iMac for re-selling?
    It's almost as though I need to purchase a copy of the operating system that has already come preinstalled on this system.
    Im not a mac savy user, maybe it's something simple i am missing.  Any help with this would be greatly appreiated!  Thanks in advance!

    You must have the account credentials for the account that was used to purchase Mountain Lion (this iMac was upgraded) presumably the customer.

    Boot the iMac, go to Apple>About This Mac>System Report, post the model identifier here (under hardware, 2nd line down)

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

    I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
    I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
    I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
    {quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
    What no BACKUP'
    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

  • Is it really necessary to upgrade to maverick on a new macbook pro that has mountain lion?

    Is it necessary to upgrade to Maverick on a brand new mac book pro? This download is taking FOREVER..I have never had any problems with any of my other computers taking so long to download anything.  Can I cancel the download once it has started and if I do cancel it, will I still be able to download Pages on my new computer that has Mountain Lion?
    Sorry to keep bugging you folks but I am really getting frustrated....really appriciate any advice you can give me
    thanks
    Cori

    You can upgrade if you want. It's an upgrade and not an update, so there's no reason to think that it will provide you improvements. Moreover, it may make that some apps stop working, so be very careful before upgrading and check that everything is in order: the hard drive is working correctly, you have got a backup, you have got the most recent version of your apps, etc.
    You can cancel the download easily. To do it, open the Launchpad, hold the Option (Alt) key and press the X button above the Mavericks installer. If you are not sure about upgrading, the worst thing you can do is to upgrade.
    Respecting to Pages, this is a different thing, because the Pages version available in the Mac App Store needs OS X Mavericks, so you won't be able to download it if you stay with OS X Mountain Lion. You can look for another application like LibreOffice or you can purchase iWork '09 on a DVD

  • I have 2006 MacBookPro running Mountain Lion.  Would like to install Maverick, any problems?

    I have a MacBook Pro I got in Dec. 2006.  Have Mountain Lion installed.  Some new apps require Maverick, any problems, like slowness, etc installing Maverick?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    If you are running Mountain Lion, you don't have a 2006 Macbook Pro. If you are running 10.8, then you can run Yosemite.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher

  • I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

    I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

  • I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there

    I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

    Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it.   Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer.   Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.
