Can't download the Mac OS X Mountain Lion update?
For some weird reason, I cannot download this update. Everytime I click "download", it says: You have updates available for other accounts. Sign in to blah blah blah to update applications for that account.
First off, I only have one account. Secondly, I have never even seen this random email they gave me in the pop up. It won't let me download at all.. Any kind of advice or anything will surely suffice. Thanks.
Delete the applications for the rogue account prompting the updates. Delete the following file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
Triple click the path to select it. Right click (or control + click) the highlighted path and from the dropdown menu select services > reveal.
Delete the file. Reboot. See if the problem persists.

How can i download the visual basic for mountain lion
hi, how can i download visual basic for my mac on os x mountine lion?
There is no Visual Basics for Macs. Real Studio works on OS X and is quite similar to Visual Basic. You should check it out, I bet it will work well for you programming course.

If not, you will have to put Windows on the Mac using Boot Camp or a Virtual Machine like Paralells Desktop 8 and use that to run VB directly. Of course, you can also use BootCamp but I recommend Paralells over Bootcamp. -
Can you download the new Pages to mountain lion
Is there a way to download the new version of Pages to laptops running other than 10.9? One of our computers has 10.9 and the other has 10.8.5.
We are licensed for the new pages and want to use the same version on iPads and two different laptops.
ThanksNo. It requires 10.9; upgrading from 10.6.8 or newer to 10.9 is itself free.

Hi folks,
I tried downloading the latest OS X Mountain Lion and [after a long time... I have a slow connection] I got an error message ... We could not complete your purchase The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Everytime I retry or continue the download I just keep getting the same error message!!!
What can I do to get my product?
PMThe only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps. -
Havinig a lot of problems with my MacBook since I've upgraded to the Mac OS X Mountain Lion program. Can someone tell me if it's possible to reset my computer back to factory settings?
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?
I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

HT1338 I want to download the software OS X Mountain Lion,
I am using a Macbook Air 2012, and want to download the software OS X Mountain Lion, please help me
You need to go to the Apple Mac Store, log in with your Apple ID, which you need to have already set up, and then purchase and download Mountain Lion 10.8. Which version of OS X are you currently using? Are you currently using Lion 10.7 or Mountain Lion 10.8?
Hope this helps -
I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?
if you set up only iMessage account, you cannot change the status, because iMessage has no status.
You should set up another service (for example AIM) with status service. Initially I didn't understand this "issue" too, but it is correct.
