How can i upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion other than from the app store?

I am trying to upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion from OSX Lion but i get this message:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
Further I am able to download other programs from the app store (like growl) but it does not work for Mountail Lion ????
I looked through the forum and one post said that i have to use lion recovery to reinstall osX lion but then it defetes the objective of upgrading.
Please help me
Cheers

If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

Have macosx 10.5.8 model iMac7,1 can I upgrade to osx Mountain lion?

I have a Mac osx 10.5.8

Can I upgrade to osx mountain lion Or to something higher than what I currently have and if so how?
Thanks!

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Can I re install logic after I purchased it from the app store?

can I re install logic after I purchased it from the app store? They say you can, but it won't allow me. Finally got logic pro 9 loaded. I recorded a test session,saved it,closed logic and when I went to re open logic the next day. My Logic icon was different ( it was the application icon not the silver record icon ) and I am unable to open my session or go to the app store to re install it. I can't find logic pro anywhere in my folders other than the application icon and that won't open.

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

How do I cancel a download (that is in progress) from the app store?

I have a "Xcode for snow leopard" download that I obviously don't need anymore. I want it to be gone from the app store, but I don't want to download all the 4.9GB to my harddrive. How can I cancel it?

Hello there, DB8.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up the stpes for canceling a download from Mac App Store:
Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
Pause, resume, or cancel an app download
To pause or resume a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, and then click Pause or Resume.During the download, the amount downloaded and estimated download time remaining are shown.
While installing, the estimated time remaining is shown.
To cancel a download in App Store, in the toolbar, click Purchases, find the app in the list, hold down the Option key, and then click Cancel.
To pause or resume a download in Launchpad, click the app icon.
To cancel a download in Launchpad, hold down the app icon until all the icons start to jiggle, and then click the app’s delete button (x).
To cancel a download in the Finder, click the app's delete button (x).
If a download is interrupted because you lose your Internet connection or quit App Store, App Store starts the download again when the Internet connection is restored or the next time you open App Store.
To start downloading any apps you purchased but haven’t successfully downloaded, choose Store > “Check for Unfinished Downloads.”
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Help! I have been using Mountain Lion but Finder and the App Store won't load and keeps crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

Help please! I have been using Mountain Lion for a few weeks but Finder, System Prefferences and the App Store won't load and/or keep crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network. Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark. You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x. If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network". Then turn WiFi off. Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information. If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music. Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

Why isn't OS X Mountain Lion not downloading from Mac App Store?

Hi all,
I have recently downloaded the OS upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store for £13.99, and it is't downloading. Since purchasing I have received the bill from Apple outlining I have purchased the item. But nothing has happened as yet. I have looked under purchases in the Mac App Store and it just shows the progression bar...
79.3 MB of 4.37 GB - Calculating...
I have restarted my IMac many times and still nothing!!!
What can I do?? I have the icon for Mountain Lion in the dock but the only options available I can see are... Pause, or Cancel Download.
Please help!!!
I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Thanks in advance

It looks stuck, and at this point, you probably ought to cancel the download and start it over again. (No worries about paying again... once you buy something in the App Store, you own it for as long as it stays in the store and can re-download it all you like.)
Also, before you consider installing the upgrade, note that there are some things you should do:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

How can I get a refund for an application purchased at the App Store?

I purchased an application (Quicken 2015) at the App Store, but it doesn't do what I need. The vendor (Intuit) says it has a 60 day guarantee, but I need to go back to the vendor (the App Store in this case) to get a refund. But I can't find any way to do that.

Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

Why can't I download an older version of Pages from the App Store?

Is there any way to download an older version of Pages? Specifically, version 4.2?
Upgrading my OS from 10.6.8 is not an option, and I live overseas in a place where I'm completely unable to recieve disks for older iWorks through the mail. This is frustrating... the App should either be compatible or alternatively should keep older versions available, if not on the app store then on the website somewhere. I'm willing to pay Apple for an older version, but have yet to figure out how that's even an option.
Would love to know if there's a way to get Pages 4.2 that I've missed. Thanks

Google "Apple iWork '09 Installer".
Apple seems to have pulled the plug on the manual updaters so you may have to Google those as well.

How To Create A Re-Installable Version Of Aperture 3 From The App Store?

Hi...
Another question regarding Aperture 3 and the App Store.
In the FAQ section of the Apple site it says this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4461
"How do I back up my purchases?
We recommend backing up the contents of your Mac regularly, including photos, purchased movies, TV shows, and apps, to ensure that you can easily recover them in the event of a loss. If you need to recover a previously purchased app from the Mac App Store, you can redownload it if it is still available."
The important bit for me is... "if it is still available".
So... having bought the software... that I own, I can only install / reinstall it for as long as Apple keep it in the App Store. I'm pretty sure Aperture 3 will disappear as soon as Aperture 4 appears, so are we all only ever locked into effectively RENTING the software with the ability only to re-install for a limited duration? (Rhetorical).
Therefore my question is:
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
Thanks for the help,
Clown Guy

Hi Clown Guy,
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
The App Store also says you can use the app on another computer merely by copying it to another machine. I believe people here have had success in doing that. I believe you can back up that Aperture app package and just drop it back in to the new computer, but I've never had the cause to do such a thing. The app is all you would need to "reinstall", although it isn't truly an installation program at that point. On the other hand, other people have not had success in doing that.

Cannot get OS X Lion to download from the App store

When trying to download os x lion to my mac book it initially would not download because i had no to updated the software on my computer. Once i did update i tried to redeem my code in the app store like i did previously and it said that the code had already been used even though the new system never downloaded to my computer. I looked under purchases and it was there and i clicked the download button again and nothing happens & i even checked for unfinished downloads and nothing happened again. help please ive been trying all day. thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
