Download of OS X Mountain Lion?

I have akready downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro and it is running great; however, the app store is telling me under purchases to download it and in my launchpad icon below it there is a progress bar and the mountain lion icon says paused. How do i fix this? I have already shut down and restarted my computer.

Let the downoad complete. Once it completes you will get a window to Install Mt Lion. Just quit that and copy the Install Mountain Lion.app to an external drive then Delete it from your internal drive (you can just move that .App file instead of copying and then Deleting).
That will remove if from the Launch Pad.
The reason I say to copy/move/save it to an external drive is so if you ever need to reinstall Mt Lion you already have the download. If you like you can also create your own Mt Lion install thumb drive using THIS little program.

I have just downloaded the upgrade from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. In the process i am now unable to gain access to iTunes. The app on desktop no longer works and the install is not able to be opened.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 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? Can anyone help me?

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:

Install Lion onto an empty partition (internal or external).
Note: You can Use Disk Utility to live partition the internal drive and create a second partition large enough to install Lion.
Start from the clean installation of Lion.
Download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Note that the original startup disk can be set as the destination for Mountain Lion during the installation process.

Plug the device into the computer and make sure it is turned on, then click the apple logo then software update, if some are available from epson install them. If not contact epson at 800-533-3731 for the correct drivers needed for Mountain Lion

Download of update in Mountain Lion has disabled my Wifi. Why

For at least the third time, I have downloaded an update to Mountain Lion and it has disabled my wifi! Why? Can anyone help?

The pop up saying there were updates to my OS (Mountain Lion) available and I chose the Update button which restarted my MacBook. When it restarted, it would no longer connect to the Wifi. When I went to Network Preferences, the Wifi is turned off and will not allow me to turn back on. Additionally, the device does not recognize any networks and just continues to "search" for them.
This is the 3rd time this has happened to me when downloading updates to the OS! Every other time has required support to get involved. I am wondering how many other people this has happened to?

HT202159 I started download of OS X Mountain Lion and it stopped with "An error has occurred" with no option to resume download. When I go to appstore it shows but again.

How to Download Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Hello! I have simple question: how can I download my previously purchase Mountain Lion OS X? Can't find it in Mac App Store. My iMac 2011 with Mavericks is very slow!!! I want Mountain Lion back on my iMac!!!!!

You should be able to redownload the installer app the same as any other previously bought app, in the Purchases list.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Are you running a firewall or anti-viral software that could be corrupting the file as it downloads? If so, disable the software for the Mt Lion download.

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

I understand you are talking about your WiFi connection bars.
This does not mean your internet is as fast as your WiFi - rarely is.
Your unupdated system has little impact on the speed of the download.

I'm trying to download the OS X Mountain Lion.

I'm trying to download the OS X Mountain Lion, but it keep occuring an error, its accusing as an internet connection problem, but I already checked and also changed my location, so Im sure that this is not the real problem. The item is already purchased. Any idea of what can be interfering in the download?!

Delete all antivirus, you do not need it anyway. Download from your Purchased page in Appstore.
Why do you need it, you are already running it ?
Reinstall with the Recovery Partition.
Unless of course you want to make a bootable stick to install on another of your computers.

Can i download multiple copies of mountain lion to my other mac's?

I purchsed a copy of Mountain lion from the app store and downloaded it to my laptop. my son purchased a copy of it and downloaded it to his laptop...it made me think that maybe....just maybe i don't have to purchase 3 other copies for each of our family's apple computers and laptops....any insight oh great and powerful community? and if i can do it, how do you do it....

You can use the same OS X Mountain Lion copy you purchased in all your Macs with your Apple ID. If your family members use your Apple ID, you can download OS X Mountain Lion for free on all of them to install it. To save time, download it in one Mac, copy the installer to an external disk or USB drive and use it to install Mountain Lion on all the computers.
However, if those computers are using a different Apple ID, you have to purchase OS X Mountain Lion on each Apple ID in order to upgrade all of them legally. Also, if you don't do this, you will have problems reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion

Download error os x Mountain lion from app store

I am not able to upgrade to OS mountain i already have upgraded to the latest version of Lion and meet all the pre requestes for downloading OS X mountain. I incurred error " An error occurred" and i am stuck. Please someone guide me how can i download OS X mountain from app store

The error refers to your RAM, not your hard drive storage space (which is not called "memory.") Mountain Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. Most likely you have only 1 GB installed.

I need to re-download Mac OS X Mountain Lion to put the installer onto a flash drive to perform a clean re-install, Will I need to buy the software again?

It says on the Mac App Store "You have already got OS X Mountain Lion on your computer, would you still like to download?"
Will it charge me £13. again if i choose ok???

Not if you download it from your Purchases page. Click on Purchase icon in the App Store toolbar.
BTW, you don't need to put Mountain Lion on a flash drive for a clean install:
Install or Reinstall Lion/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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. 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.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
