How do I download purchased Mountain Lion OSX on my second Mac laptop?
How do I download purchased Mountain Lion OSX on my second Mac laptop? The initial download was no problem on my MacBook Pro, but my MacBook already has Lion with only a little more than 2 GB of Memory left. This may be my compatibility problem. Ideas?
I think you'll need to find a way to delete or move files to an external drive to free up some space. Generally, you want at least 10% free space on the HD for best performance. In your case, you probably will not get ML to install. Assuming you are talking about 2 GB of hard drive and nor 2 GB of RAM.

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?
Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation. -

Guys! can anyone tell me how can i download OX mountain lion for my mac?
I need to download Mac OX mountain lion 10.8 for my friend. Can anyone share how can i download it and from where ..???
The purchase of Mountain Lion is not an "all you share license". The person who buys ML on their App Store account can install it on as many Macs as they own. No one else's.
It's only $20. Have your friend buy their own copy.

I have just installed Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 on my Imac 27 and now on startup the page just continues to reload continueously and makes it imposible to access the system preferences app or anything else for that matter. initial startup is as before but stops at the facepage, mouse track pad and cursor keys are rendered useless as the arrow will not respond of even appear except for a millisecond occasionally.
I'd appreciate any assistance with this problem and solution if it exsists.It appears you have a corrupt install. My first reaction would be to boot to the Recover Partition and then reinstall Mountain Lion. If you don't know how to boot from the Recovery Partition please visit Apples Advice letter that explains how located at:
support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hopefully you followed Apple's advice on backing up your system prior to upgrading. -

I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

Question says it all
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Did you purchase a second-hand Mac? If so, this is the answer. You need to purchase Mountain Lion by reinstalling the original Mac OS X version that came with your MacBook.
If you didn't purchase a second-hand Mac and you have a Mid 2012 or Mid 2013 MacBook Air, make sure you started up in Recovery HD and that you are using the Apple ID you used to set up your MacBook Air. Another option is to use Internet Recovery (hold Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting), because some users said it doesn't require any Apple ID.
If this doesn't work, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -
I purchased Mountain Lion on my MacBook and want it on my mac desktop as well. Can I download the same purchase on my desktopMac? and how do i do that?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you purchase Mountain Lion, you can install it as many times as you want on all your computers for free. To install it on the desktop, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download OS X Mountain Lion.
Another option is to redownload it on the MacBook, put the installer onto a USB drive and connect it to the desktop in order to upgrade -

I have downloaded OS Mountain Lion which was successful but going inot apps it still appears as requiring downloading but when I press to do this i am informed that download has been completed and so to cancel. How or why does this icon remain in the apps purchases and how should i get rid of it?
It stays in your purchased apps list because you bought it from the MAS. The most likely reason it offers to be "downloaded" (it's not that it needs to be downloaded, it is that is can be downloaded) is because you installed the OS X upgrade, which deletes the installer from the HDD. This is normal behavior.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?
Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!
