Downloaded OX mountain lion and it doesnt appear to have installed

Hi , i downloaded the upgrade to install Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and it doesnt appeat to have installed.Any advice?

After you download it from the App Store it places the upgrade program in your Applications folder.
Just open your Applications folder and double click the Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and you can begin the installation.

    You are confusing Free Disc Space with RAM.

  • I download OSX mountain Lion and my mac is very slow.Any idea why?

    After downloading mountain lion my mac gets slow...any idea why?

    Try this:
    Boot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    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.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Does this help? If not, then you should reinstall Mountain Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1338 I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to.  I downloaded osx mountain lion and it still doesn't work.  any suggestions?

    I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to open them.  It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did.  still can't.  Any ideas? 

    You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com.  The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader.  If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files.  Hope this helps.

  • What happened to OS X Mountain Lion and why do I now have to have OS X Mavericks?

    Has Mavericks really improved on OS X Mountain Lion? i Photo is now in my opinion awful, can't create own borders on photos or include text on photos anymore when using for home printing. Is it possible to uninstall Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion and futther more install an earlier version of i Photo like 3 months back?

    Shawn4,
    you don’t have to run Mavericks unless you use a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which you apparently don’t.
    If you made a backup of your Mountain Lion setup before installing Mavericks, you can just restore it from your backup.
    If you didn’t make a backup of your Mountain Lion setup, you can back up your Mavericks setup, overwrite your Mavericks setup with a reïnstallation of Mountain Lion, and then selectively restore from your Mavericks backup the items which you would like to have under Mountain Lion.

  • I upgraded to mountain lion and now I don't have iPhoto how do I get my pictures off of my phone?

    I recently upgraded to mounntain lion, since then I noticed there isn't an iPhoto. Before mountain lion if I plugged in my phone or camera into my computer I could view/download the photos to iPhoto. How do I get my pictures off of my phone now?

    Reinstall it with DVD that came with your computer.
    Or just redownload it from the Mac App store.

  • My time machine backup was created on iMac with Mountain Lion and my new iMac has Mavericks installed, will I be able to restore a backup from time machine to new imac and all applications work ok

    time machine backup to new iMac

    Yes, however it's always wise to update your apps to ensure you have the most up-to-date version. Use Setup Assistant to migrate your data, apps and settings to the new iMac, simply follow the on-screen directions. If the new machine has already arrived and you have already run Setup Assistant, connect the TM backup to the new machine and run Migration Assistant (a cousin of Setup Assistant) and follow the on-screen directions. You can find Migration Assistant in Applications - Utilities - Migrations Assistant or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar and type "Migration Assistant".

  • I downloaded the mountain lion now nothing works

    i downloaded the mountain lion and now most of my applications are not working saying that i to knew of software work that to run

    We need more info. Did you upgrade from Snow Leopard? Are all applications updated? What applications don't work? Maybe these application are PowerPC based apps and not Intel because Apple stopped supporting PowerPC in Lion and this has continued to Mountain Lion. This would give you an error stating that the Application is PowerPC and isn't supported by this OS.

  • HT1338 OS X mountain Lion and ICloud, my bookmarks have automatically been changed to those of my iPad, is there any way to reverse this?

    I recently updated to OS X mountain Lion and activated ICloud, my bookmarks have automatically been changed to those of my iPad, is there any way to reverse this?

    First, you need to go to System Preferences -> iCloud and uncheck the Safari item to prevent syncing bookmarks (among other things) between Safari on your Mac and Safari on your iPad.
    Then you need to restore your bookmarks file from a backup.  To find the bookmarks file, go to your user Library folder (which is now invisible, so hold down the option key and choose Library from the Finder's Go menu), then look in the Safari folder that's in there. There should be a file called Bookmarks.plist. Replace it with an older version from a backup.

  • I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. when i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space!

HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.
