Download button for Mountain Lion
Successfully downloaded and installed Mountain Lion from the App Store this afternoon. Under Purchased items in the store it is showing Mountain lion with a live black download button. Apparently the App Store has not recognized the downloading and installation of same. Not a big deal but I'm concerned whether the App Store will still offer me updates of the OS in the future. Is there a way to get the App Store to recognize my installation of Mountain Lion?
Should the App Store Purchase section be showing it as installed
Not necessarily. The Download button is available if you want to re dowload Lion to use that download to create a Mountain Lion install disc.
And, if you want to download Mountain Lion on another qualifying Mac, you can do so using that same button at the App Store using the same Apple ID for free.
See: Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms: here > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As long as you see v10.8 in "About This Mac", you're good to go.
You're welcome.

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?
How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
Please include the "binary images" section... -
I attempted to download Java for Mountain Lion and it had no positive effect. ~Marlin
I attempted to download the Java enabler for Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) and it had absolutely no effect. How should I proceed?
Thank you,
~MarlinOpen Java Preferences.app in the Utilities folder. It will tell you what version you have, allow you to download it if not present, and allow you to enable it.

HT4854 Don't see download link for Mountain Lion on 2nd machine
When I open my app store on a 2nd iMac after installing ML on the 1st (with the same iTunes account), I don't see ML in my 'Purchases' list. The link for ML shows the price, I'm hesitant to click through in case I'm charged again. Any thoughts?
then the mountain lion download is ready , opens the installer ...close them and then make a copy of the osx-installer.app ( in /Applications ) on an external drive or similar ...then re-execute the installer.app...so you do not download the installer twice
it take some time to appear in purchases (Mountain Lion )...if the download not appear then rebuild the appstore cache
in Finder the Menu Go to ----> Go to Folder ----> /Users/username/Library/Caches .... there is the folder com.apple.appstore delete this folder , this should be rebuild the cache if you next time start the appstore
an other solution is the terminal ( Applications/Utilities)
open the terminal
cd /Users/username/Library/Caches
rm -dR com.apple.appstore -
Downloading speed for mountain lion
i'm trying to download mountain lion since yesterday, and the app store page simply says 'downloading'. the speeds can't be that slow in delhi, india! any help anybody?
Yeah, that's pretty much what I have (1.5 MBps down and up). The connection isn't consistent though (it drops and reconnects on an inconsistent basis). I guess the problem I'm having is getting the download to even initiate, which has, to my knowledge, only happened once (this morning). I go back to school on Wednesday where I have a 10 MBps down and up connection. Trying to get this done as soon as possible with school starting up again next week to try and make sure everything is up and running smoothly.

please I need help accessing downloads that are avaialbe for software--I keep getting sent to a page to enter credit card info when I am trying to download free updates at the app store...
Part of stronger account security measures by Apple. If you want the update, free or not, you will need to comply. "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!"

Is there an iDVD for Mountain Lion? If so, where can I get a copy?
I noticed that Mountain Lion does not have iDVD included. Is there any way I can download iDVD for Mountain Lion or has it been discontinued. I still have relatives that used DVDs.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open, says it is for Mountian Lion.
Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac.

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?
It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I paid for mountain lion $19.9 but do not have it downloaded on my mac yet

In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software. -
I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.
Cheers and Happy Computing

Hi, how do I create a standalone installer for Mountain Lion, ie, download once and then no more broadband required, thanks?
Context is that my other computers are not mobile and I do not have broadband worth troubling for a 4GB download - so will go to Apple Store with MacBook Pro for first download.The easiest way is to download the installer but do not open it.
Next, make a copy of it and store it where it won't get lost.
Then take one of the copies and place into the applications directory and open it to begin the installer.
This has saved me the trouble of ever having to download the installer twice, plus you can mess around with the installer and try different options without having to worry about not having a clean install file if needed.

Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X? I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.
Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i). What does it say about the space used and available.
