How can I buy Mountain Lion without download etc. Just associate with apple id to do reinstall on Mountain Lion Macbook

I am trying to reinstall a Macbook Pro that had previously been upgraded to Mountain Lion x by the old owner. When I try to reinstall I need to input an apple ID that has purchased Mountain Lion. My ID hasn't. How can I either revert back to the original OS or associate Lion with my apple ID. I have happy to pay the $19.95 just cannot find where.

You can purchase Mountain Lion using your Apple ID at the App Store. You cannot use the version installed by the old owner. In fact it should not have even been installed by the old owner when he sold it.
You can install Snow Leopard and update it to 10.6.8 in order to purchase Mountain Lion under your Apple ID.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

How can I buy Mountain Lion from an unsupported laptop? I want to install it on a Mac Pro but it doesn't have an OS to open App Store

I have a MacBook Classic that is unsupported and my Mac Pro is supported but I can't open App Store from it because there's no OS and I can't purchase from my classic because it's unsupported. Halp

Buy Snow Leopard for your Mac Pro, update it to 10.6.8, purchase and download Mountain Lion. There is no other solution.

I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install?

I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

How can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, i have done command-r

how can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, put another hd in, done command-r & sys reinstalled, but it wanted to update & now am stuck. I don't mind paying for mountain lion; it is too far to get to an apple store. but, i only have one mac, so i cannot download with another mac. lots of other apple, but only one mac.

You will need to do a network recovery:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
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 Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT4854 How can I load Mountain Lion to multiple Macs

How can I load Mountain Lion to multiple Macs without downloading the huge 4Gb file to each machine?

I've never done that, but I don't see why it wouldn't. There is no verification or authentication keys in the installer.
If you need 20+ licenses*, then you might take a look at the volume licensing: http://www.apple.com/mac/volume-licensing/
It describes the same process I described.
* I think 20 is the minimum. Not sure, though.

Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?

Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?
I'm stock in the re install mode of the Mountain Lion system and I obviosly didn't buy it for this Macbook, and I was wondering if I can purchase Mountain Lion in on of my friends Macbook, and then install it in mine, with my apple ID of course. Thank you.

Well, I can check with mine when it need to be updated and then I can signed with my ID again on his mac to update it, right? Just wondering if it's not going to create any conflicts with other software's, specially with iCloud and iTunes, because of his iPhone and iPad.
Thanks for the answer.

How can I download Mountain Lion to my computer with a high speed connection and then transfer it to my other computer with a slower connection?

How can I reinstall Mountain Lion on new hard drive?

I've had to install a new hard drive as old one was failing.
Have loaded Snow Leopard from disc onto the new drive but can't install Mountain Lion which I was running prior to drive failure; very frustrated.
Have tried several options.
1. Tried to reboot from OS X Utilities but whenever I restart, holding the cmd + R keys, I can only ever get the standard screen. I've tried pressing keys early in restart, later in restart, keys on either side of the keyboard, cmd + alt/option + R but still can't get to the OS X Utilities.
2. Having given up on 1 I've tried to download ML from my purchase history in iTunes. I can see the purchase recorded but there appears to be no way to get to a reload option - at least not in the iTunes loaded from Snow Leopard
3. I tried downloading ML updates, hoping that might allow me to bypass 1 and 2. The download wasn't recognised by my machine.
4. I've be willing to just buy the **** OS again from scratch but iTunes won't allow me to do that either, at least not using my current Apple ID.
Does anyone have any bright ideas? I hate bloody computers.

Csound,
Do you have any suggestions why I can't open OS X Utilities.
Thanks,

How old is your Mac, if it came with 10.6 installed it is too old to have Internet Recovery (command-option-R) And as it has a new hard drive you won't be able to use Recovery (command-R) either until a new copy of Mountain Lion is installed and ceates a recovery partition on the drive.

Does any one have an other greate idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello to everyone that helped me.
I have tryed all the solutions that you have offered, but with no sucsess.
I have also tryed to contact the support from the AppStore, but I only got the answer please contact our other collegues, from the Technical Support unit.
I tryed as the last atemped to reinstall Lion 10.7 through the AppStore (by going to purchases) after I went through the process, downloading and installing, I could also purchase, download and install Mountainlion.
(one small hick-up, after I finished downloading Lion, the AppStore gave me the same Message as before:
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I just pressed the button to download, again. After that I had no more issues.)
I hope that this will help you.
Best Regards
Rene
Hello,
In my case, that would not be possible since before the message I have got , the system said
"We could not complete your App Store request" or something similar. And the only choice I had, is to click on OK button. As I said, the only way I found is to start from Mac OS 10.6 to succeed in buying, not only downloading, but simply buying Mountain Lion.
Best Regards from France

I can not BUY Mountain Lion - Licensing File???

I try to buy OS X Mountain Lion already since a few hours (more than 16 to be exact) but it always comes up with an error message.
When pressing "buy" botton:
"Your purchase can not be finalized. The product distribution file couldn´t be validated. It is possible that it is damaged or not signed correctly."
So, why do I have to worry about distribution of Mountain Lion? I am the customer and want to buy, not sell!
Apple isn´t responding on my question so far ...
How can I get / buy ML finally?
I´m on the german appstore and so the message was freely translater (as close to the meaning).
Or is Apple having problems with the file for other countries?
Any help appreciated.
Tried already starting mac up, logging out and into account deleting cache ...

If you have anti virus software installed, disable that before downloading apps.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.
If nothing above has helped, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.4. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then launch the App Store.
If that didn't help either, 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
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
