How do i download mountain lion.  I have tried several times without success

If you are actually running 10.4. 11, you cannot download Mountain Lion. You must be running at least 10.6.8 to download Mountain Lion (or anything after 10.6.8).
If you have one of the original Mac Pros, you will not be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Lion is as far as you can go.
Go to About This Mac, More Info button. Look under Hardware for Mac Identifier. You need a macpro3,1 or later.
Not that it really makes any difference, but you've posted this on the Mavericks forum, not the Mountain Lion forum.

  • How do I erase my hard drive on my old mac G4 I have tried several suggestions without success

    I have the old install discs, have opened old mac holding down the C key and have move to disk utility.  I clicked on erase and Mac  HD and get a screen involving remving free space but unable to click on any options--all gray.  Any help out there?

    What happens when you select the drive itself (top line with makers designation and size) rather than the volume (Macintosh HD)?
    You should lose the 'free space' option but have the 'security options' and 'erase' buttons live.
    Then try the 'partition' tab (still with the drive selected) - select '1 partition' from the drop down and see if the volume information on the right and the buttons at the bottom become live.
    If they do, proceed from there - name the HD, select the format and click 'apply'.

  • How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

    How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?

    You need to know 2 things
    Ram, you need a minimum of 2GB, but 4GB (or more) is recommended.
    HDD, you need a minimum of 20GB of hard disk space (including space for operation)
    So.
    Go to Apple>About this Mac and you will be able to see the amount of Ram installed.
    Then select your hard drive (in Finder>Sidebar, usually called MacintoshHD) and click cmd-i (Command key and the letter I) look for capacity and available, post the results here.

  • I can't down load mountain lion.it starts to down load them stops,

    I can't down load mountain lion, it starts and stops 53.03mb and wont carry on.

    This is probably why:
    Please note:
    If your Mac has OS X Lion, MPEG-2 functionality is built in and the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is unnecessary. This playback component requires QuickTime 7.6 or later, or QuickTime 7 Pro.

  • Trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb

    trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb

    See if this applies:
    Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
    The general system requirements are straightforward:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Apple also lists which models WILL support Mountain Lion:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Hope this helps

  • Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now, no joy (have new iMac May 2012)

    Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now with resumes and restarts, no joy (have new iMac May 2012). Any ideas, please?
    Thanks, bb2804

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out?  I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

  • Safari will not load any webpage. Have reinstalled several times.

    I have not been able to use Safari on my PC for some time. I have reinstalled several times, and completely removed safari and installed new several times. It will not load any page.

    Many thanks.
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)
