How do I install OS X Mountain Lion purchased software?

Now using v10.6 Snow Leopard on my iMac.  Purchased OS X Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  To install the software I was told to launch the Mac Apple Store, click "Redeem" found under Quick Links.  Can't find "Redeem" or Quick Links.  Need help.

Useless.  This takes me to the screen that wants the gift card or download code.  My email provided a LICENSE NUMBER and a Serial Number/Redemption Code.  Why is this so hard to download software that I purchased?  Apple is usually better than this.

    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Why?  Good question.  I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment.  I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

  • How to re-install GarageBand on Mountain Lion?

    I need to re-install GarageBand on my macbook. I'm using Mountain Lion, but the only installation CD's I have are for Snow Leopard (since I bought Mountain Lion digitally).
    Is there any way to install GarageBand as a single application, or do I have to completely re-install Mountain Lion OSX?

    Question:
    Did you previously purchase GB from the MAS...
    Also... Updating from SL to ML does not upgrade the iLife components... you only get the OS X.

  • How download and install on Macbook Pro.  Purchased software and installed on my desktop computer.

    How do I download and install on MacBook Pro.  Installed once on my PC desktop but now have new Macbook Pro with no disc drives.

    What version are you talking about and have you got the serial number?
    If you want to install version 11 then you can download from Adobe website and use your serial number to activate it.  The only problem I can see is that your serial number might be for a windows system and I don't know if it would work on a Mac.  However, it is worth a try.
    You are allowed 2 installations simultaneously so you should be OK in this respect.
    The download link is here:

    Make sure you use the MAC to download it so that you get the correct version for it.

  • My MacBook Pro will not install OS X Mountain Lion

    I decided to wipe my macbook pro's hard drive. Once I did, I had to re-install OS X Mountain Lion. Well, it asked me for my Apple ID and Password. When I enter it, my computer says "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." I've heard of other people having this issue and I have not seen a resolution to this issue. How do I install OS X Mountain Lion?

    Sorry, if I sound silly on this next question, or string of questions, but:
    What does EFI stand for?
    Is it an acronym for something?
    I thought that my MacPro is 64bit? Well that is as far as I remember the salesman telling me, back when I did the B.T.O spec.
    I am running 64bit apps [in full 64bit mode] as far as I understand. Like the CS suiite.
    If I look at "About Photoshop…" it says — Version 12.1 x64
    Doesn't that mean that it is running 64bit apps?
    Or are you saysing that the "entire operating system" / "bios" or whatever it is called in Mac language, is not actually capable of running as 64bit?
    I need to find my box, that came with the MacPro, ans just have a look at the info that is detailed on it. As as far as I can remember there was even a big "64bit" flashy thing, somewhere on the outside of the box.
    But in the meantime, if you can perhaps help with the earlier questions.
    And perhaps one more …
    Where woudl I find the info / persons that I could investigate that "Hack", as I may need to investigate that a little. If anything just to be better informed, for the future. At the end of the day, if I have to scrub the entire Mac to the beginging, and reload everything, so be it, at least it will be a learning curve in the process.
    I have all the legal software installers etc, so all that it will cost me is time, if it does "kill" the operating system …

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?

    How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?

    If you're asking about compatibility, that would be something you would need to ask of the app developers, though most apps compatible with Mountain Lion should be compatible with Mavericks. You can also consult the tables here:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    though that information comes from user reports and so should not be considered authoritative.
    If you're asking whether installing Mavericks will delete your apps, no, it won't, though a good backup is always highly recommended.
    Regards.

  • I installed Maverick It turns off for no reasons, makes Safari a miserable experience, and more.  How can I get back to Mountain Lion?

    Maverick is a mess, well up to MS at its best.  i installed it over Mountain Lion on a base Air that initially came with Lion.  The worst is when the screen suddenly goes blank.  After a few times, i found tha tsimpy pressing the power button brought up the welcome screen which - after the password - took me back to where I was with no loss, bu tthe first time was horrible.  Then WORD for MAC started behaving strangely, with normal operations simply not working - shading to copy or cut out, for instance.  Click again and again, no shading - then suddenly it workds!  Safari has similar issues.  So too with other software downladed earlier.  simply nothing works as well as all did under Mountain Lion.
    So, I want to deep six Maverick and get back to Mountain Lion.  I assume that if I use CONTROL R I will simply reload Maverick.  Can I download Mountain Lion from the App Store and then ???  All the copying and such - a half day lost.  Is there are easier way? 
    <Edited by Host>

    It's Command-R, not Control-R. You won't lose your files or settings if you reinstall 10.9 this way. Why don't you give that a go before reverting to 10.8.

  • I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD as far as I know.

    I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD with OSX Lion as far as I know.

    Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains. 
    However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
    Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

    The reason Win 7 looks bad is because of your poor monitor.
    I run Windows 7 on my 1920 x 1200 pixels 17" MacBook Pro and it looks just as good as OS X.
    The secret is to get a monitor with high pixel per square inch resolution, then any picture or graphics looks great.
    Nearly all the available eye candy on OS X is available on Windows with hacks.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcsoft/
    Windows has more software and it's versions are supported for a decade on average, the hardware is significantly less expensive and in the towers, customizable.
    Apple just displays all fancy in one package and then charges 3x the price for the same performance as a PC.
    Your not missing much, there isn't any compeling need to run OS X on your PC, it's a hassle anyway.

  • Installing Mavericks over Mountain Lion

    I try to install Mavericks over Mountain Lion but keep getting this message: Unapproved caller, securityagent may only be invoked by Apple software.
    Now I am stocked and cannot do anything :-(
    Any suggestions?

    Dang! that was so NOT cool. Same thing happened to me and feel lucky to have found this thread.
    I was stuck in a loop of that dialog popping up saying "Unapproved Caller". I tried clicking OK repeatedly and it still kept popping up.
    Seeing the comment about Safe Mode, I took the gamble and held the power switch on my 27" iMac until it powered off, waited a moment, then pushed the power button again and as soon as the chime sound happened, held Shift key to boot in Safe Mode and that worked just like it did for @Bart2904.
    How in the world would an average user know how to recover from such a situation - it would be bricked computer and a trip to Genius bar. Again, not cool.

  • This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    I attempted to burn a DVD of the installer, but that didn't work (files are too big).
    Also grabbed the ESD from inside the package and it started to work, then hung on the "installing" screen.
    Here is how I finally solved the problem after redownloading it 4-5 times:
    Put my MacBook Pro into target mode and used my Mac Mini to install Mtn Lion.
    At first the installer balked saying it wasn't signed right or some such BS. I tried again and it worked fine. I now even have a recovery parition which I didn't have before.
    So in the end I have no idea what the problem was but it was not:
    A proxy error corrupting the download
    A corrupted download of any kind
    Permissions errors
    Hard drive errors
    Incompatability with RAM or my hardware
    Incompatibility of my partitioning scheme
    I think there is a bug in the "pre-flight" checks the installer does prior to doing its job.

  • I have trouble installing OS X Mountain Lion, tells me that is not available. What happens

    I have trouble installing OS X Mountain Lion, tells me that is not available. What happens
    How: Restart my computer and install it, now I can not download the Mountain Lion. Help please

    At this point you must buy Mt Lion from the Apple online store. (In US, 1-800-MY-APPLE.) They will sell your a redemption code that another devision of Apple emails two you in two parts in 2 or 3 days. One email has a password for a locked pdf. The second email has the locked pdf which you have to use the password to open, it then has the redemption code.
