Can I go to the Apple Store to download OS X Mountain Lion?

My internet is really slow, so I am wondering if I can go to the Apple Store and use the internet there. Also, how long would the download time be there approximately?

Even if you can't imagine there are people having problems to make a download of several GB. For me, I would be very glad to be able to download Mountain Lion on a PC attached to a fast internet connection, as I'm living on a very small island where my only connection will be via fragile UMTS. Would be much easier for me taking a boat, make my download on a friends PC, and burn it down to a disc instead of taking my iMac with me.
Last time I've ordered an USB stick, but nowadays Apple even makes this impossible for me (and reading "If you don’t have broadband access, you can visit any Apple Retail Store to get help with downloading" just gave me a big laugh). Next store all about 200 kilometers away, will be a trip of two and a half days for me.
Shame on you, Apple.

  • How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

    I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
    How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
    I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
    Thank you.
    PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

    On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
    Using more than one payment card
    You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
    Credit card(s) - up to two
    Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
    Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
    During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

  • HT204074 I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even  I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connecto to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed.

    I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even  I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connect to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed. I still can not connecto to the Store.
    My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
    Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

    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?

    Hello, Dalagood. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need more information regarding the exact issues you are experiencing when attempting to sign into the App Store to better assist you.  However, I would include a basic troubleshooting guide for issues connecting to the iTunes Store.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General >Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General> Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check theuser guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • I have pages 4.1 on my iMac and they tell me I have to download Pages for my iPhone to store in iCloud, etc; but when I go to the Apple Store to download via my iPhone it only gives me a Pages 1.6 or something like the version.  ?

    Thank you.  So it is ok to download the different number.  Also, someone just emailed me saying that iCloud is really not a storage.  Does one have to get SugarSync, etc. then?

  • I purchased Lion and installed it my first Mac.  I then went back to the apple store using my laptop to install Lion.  Under purchases it tells me I have no purchases.  What am I doing wrong?

    I purchased Lion and installed it my first Mac.  I then went back to the apple store using my laptop to install Lion.  Under purchases it tells me I have no purchases.  What am I doing wrong?

    Another option is to DL with the first Mac and save a copy of the installer app. Then, just copy it to the other machines and stop wasting resources DLing for each machine.

    i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite

    You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
    good luck

  • Why can't I open the apple store on my iPhone

    First let me say this is a phone I got sent from Apple.
    The issue I have is when using my extension cable once fully charged my phone says charging is not supported with this accessory.
    Next issue I have is I can't log into the App Store on my phone. I click sign in put in my apple id and it does not show me as logged in.
    Last issue I have is I have deleted and installed the Apple Store App and it tells me goto settings and use iTunes & App Store menu.
    Oh and when I update my apps on the phone I still have to click the update apps when I connect phone to iTunes.
    Any help trying to fix these issues would be greatly appreciated.

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.

  • Why my Apple ID can buy anything in the apple store Nuys can not buy in the game?

    Hello Guiqi Zhang,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store on your iPad.  For the issue you are experiencing, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPad:
    Changing your Apple ID account
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
    Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
    The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend following the iOS steps in the section titled "Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the following article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • Can I add my own art work to my albums in iTunes and/or share them with the Apple Store for downloading?

    Can I add my own art work to my albums in iTunes and/or share them with the Apple Store for others to download?

    Thanks Brij011
    I thought that there was a way to do this. However, it would be neat to be able to upload correct Art Work for album covers so that other could share instead of having to scan / take picture and then import. I guess Apple would be inodated with incorrect pictures if we could upload to them.
    Oh well... thanks again !

  • My dad has an imac G5 from 2005, and I'm wondering if we can bring it to the Apple store and replace it with one of the newer models. How much would the G5 be worth and how much money would we have to put on top of it to buy the newer model?

    How much is the G5 worth? The one from 2005.

    The Apple Store will offer to recycle it for free, you are better off selling it on ebay or elsewhere, I have seen decent looking ones go from $80-$250 here in Australia.
    You are looking at $1000 + to get a new one

  • I can't get into the itunes store without downloading itunes 10.3

    I can't get into the itunes store through my itunes because the homepage has the add for updating to itunes 10. I tried to do it, but then realized I don't have the software for it, I need Mac OS 10.5 or higher and I have 10.4. How do I get to the itunes store still, surely I don't have to buy a whole new computer to keep using Itunes? Does anyone know anything about this?

    I've got this as well and it seems to have affected only the Music and Home pages - do a search in the search bar and you will get to the films etc. Looks like somone goofed! If anyone from Apple checks this out, mine is the UK store. Home page and Music pages only affected.

  • Will downloading Lion from the App Store (previously purchased) while on Mountain Lion erase my current OS?

    All,
    I'm trying to download Lion from the App Store to make a bootable external hard drive. My concern is that the app store gives me a warning: "OS X 10.8 is already installed on this computer. Are you sure you want to download OS X 10.7?"
    I'm not sure what this means and I would prefer not to risk erasing my current operating system. Does anyone have an idea?
    Thank you in advance.

    Futhermore, I can't believe that the App Store allows you to download OS X Lion while you are in OS X Mountain Lion, because normally the App Store gives an error because you are running a newer Mac OS X.
    If you just download OS X Lion, you won't lose OS X Mountain Lion, because just the installer will be downloaded onto the Applications folder. When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so close it, and use Lion Diskmaker to create an external drive with OS X Lion > http://liondiskmaker.com
    As you are running OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend you to make an external drive with OS X Mountain Lion instead, if you can. That's because probably you will want to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion and not Lion
