OS X Mountiain Lion
The world's most advance desktop operating
system gets even better. And makes the Mac, iPad,
and iPhone work even better together.
Download today.
(Today is almost over in Australia; great launch Apple - Nobody can download it here & it's now 11:59PM)
**** Maybe; download it tomorrow. Would be better fitting ****
* Can only be because so many people are trying to download it all at the same time - surely staggering the release so it's available as per the time zone would better help this next time instead of opening the flood gates *

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system, and an Intel Core Duo processor is only 32-bit, so you can't use Mountain Lion on your Mac. You can keep using your actual OS X version or buy a new Mac if you want Mountain Lion

  • Error when trying to install Mountain Lion - says hard disk is damaged :(

    I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my iMac today - without any problems. But when I downloaded it to my Macbook pro (bought 2010) I get an error message telling me the installation cannot continue due to hard disk error My harddisk was fine before the installation, to my knowledge ...
    Of course I tried disk utility (during the installation) and it tells me the disk needs to be repaired but I can´t choose "Repair disk" since it is grey (no write permissions it says). What can I do? I really need help!!!

    I rarely post, however, because of a major screw up with Mountain Lion, I will.  I have been using mac computers since 1987, have obviously installed and upgraded multiple OS new and upgrades and never, I mean never had a problem with any of them, until now.  The install stalled with the message that the hard disk needed repair.  I thought all of my data was lost, except for time machine backup, which was not as current as it should have been.  Losing that data would have been a royal pain. 
    Went through the restore OS from Time Machine, then tried to repair the disk with apple disk repair utility.  Not repairable.  Why?  I still don't have a clue.  After reading multiple threads, decided to go ahead and buy DiskWarrior.  This was a weird experienc.  Loaded it onto external hard drive, hooked my MacBook Pro as Target disk.  Loaded in DiskWarrior as hardware probelm.  ????  Immediately went online to see what advice about this message.  Looked like a massive coincidence had hit my laptop.  Worked perfectly until loading Mountain Lion, the decided to have hard disk melt down.  Suddenly, DiskWarrior indicated it was ready to rebuild my directory.  The hardware warning was gone.  A few minutes later, directory repaired.  Rebooted, same problem.  Can't load OS X, need to repair hard disk.  Apple disk repair still unable to repair disk.  Used DiskWarrior, repaired it no problem. 
    Deleted original OS 10.8 dmg.  Rebooted and downloaded fresh copy of OS 10.8.  This time install went flawlessly.  Mountain Lion transferred all info flawlessly.  Mid 2009 MacBook Pro running flawlessly and actually more smoothly now than in Lion.
    1.  I think original download was somehow corrupted and that is what screwed up the disk directory.
    2.  I do not know why apple Disk Utility would not repair the disk and Disk Warrior would.  Expensive fix, but ultimately worthwhile.  Did it mysefl and did not have to mess with "Genius" bar.
    3.  I will never go so long without backup again.  That was a big mistake.
    My advice:
    1.  Be sure you have smooth download of entire Mountain Lion file, if not, start over.  My download was paused a couple of times.
    2.  If the install is messed up and you need Disk Repair, buy DiskWarrior and repair directory, it works flawlessly.  If it initially says your disk has hardware problem, wait a few minutes while it finishes entire evaluation.  It may well disappear like mine did, then actually repair the directories without a problem.
    3.  Be sure you have deleted old OS 10.8 Install file and load fresh one.
    4.  Install OS 10.8 and you should be OK.
    5.  Good luck.
    Mountain Lion seems to have some problems, but many of them may be due to server overload at apple, delayed download with incorporated unrecognized code problems.  If there is any delay, start over and get a smooth download.
    Disk Utility is too light weight.  Apple needs to beef it up.  This is my biggest complaint.  Apple utility should be able to fix disks.  We should not have to spend $100 to fix a disk, but there you are.
    Once fixed however, back to usual beautiful, flawless apple experience.

  • I keep getting "hash mismatch" when trying to download Mountain Lion from the App store

    I've been trying to download the new Mountain Lion from the App Store & keep getting "hash mismatch" message. I was able to download on my 1 computer, but no luck on the 2nd computer, which is up-to-date on all updates & software. Support even put a fresh copy of the App in my account & I still get that same message. Someone suggested AppCleaner, but how do you delete the OS to re-install the new. Didn't think that was possible. Any suggestions - I've tried quitting & logging out of the App Store & even re-starting (several times)

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Getting S.M.A.R.T. when trying to install Mountain lion. Hard drive works pretty well. I understand that many users have been facing the same issue. Has apple patched it yet?

    I'm getting S.M.A.R.T. error when trying to install Mountain lion. Hard drive works pretty well despite the Failing status. I understand that many users have been facing the same issue. My hard drive was/is working perfectly. Has Apple patched it yet?
    Has someone found a solution which is not replacing the hard drive which works just fine? Or Is anyone aware of a procedure that can force the installation despite the S.M.A.R.T error? Below details of my hard drive

    If you haven't done so, run Disk Utility  /Applications/Utilities

    The drive may be ok at the moment, but that's not to say the drive may fail at anytime.
    Hopefully you have all your important data backed up just in case.

  • When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
    OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
    The message went on:
    Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
    The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
    The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
    The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
    Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?

  • Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

    Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

    I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
    The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
    I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

    No, there is no ISP limit on my bandwidth.  I have  restarted my router but still no success.  I can download other Apps but with Mountain lion 10.8 it simply says waing in mission control and in the App Store it say "an error has occurred".  I have been working at this now for 3 days and it is very frustrating and I do not think the error is on my side but elsewhere.
    I would suggest to contact the Mac App Store Support Team. Make sure to note down the error message and the steps that you do that lead to the problem. Click the link below and select the "Contact Support" option in the sidebar, there you'll be able to appropiately select your options and possible support solutions including contacting the Mac App Store via e-mail.

    In the app store where it says waiting, do you get the option to "resume"?

  • I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    Solution:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
    This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

    Yes, you can only use it once. But now the Lion Installer should be in your list in the Purchases pane with everything else you have bought. There it should have a download button.
