How to download mountain lion with my free code???

I have my code but dont know where to redeem my code or put my code.
help PLZ?????

Restore your system from your Time Machine backup.
Or if you do not have a full system backup make one using Time Machine. Then download the 10.6.8 combo updater and appy it to your system <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399>.
Or, you can purchase OS X 10.8 on your Macbook Pro, download, transfer the installer to iMac and install it. Just be sure and backup the installer to an external HDD BEFORE you install it on the iMac.
In the future just remove the icon from the Dock and you won't have this problem. Also, make backups.

  • Cant download mountain lion with redeem code

    When i try to download mountain lion with my redeem code i get an error message that claims that the code is faulty (Could not be identified as valid code). What may the problem be? I've copy pasted the code into the redeem page at appstore.

    made the same mistake...the instructions are unclear
    go to the email that has a pdf document at the bottom...it is a locked pdf...
    paste the long number into there....i think it says "password"...
    it opens aj 1 page pdf...that page has the number that you put in the redeem box...

    How to install mountain lion with a different apple ID?

    More information would be helpful. If you are going to use a different Apple ID, you will need to buy Mountain Lion again. If you have a computer that has Mountain Lion installed, but Mountain Lion was purchased with a different Apple ID you must use the original Apple ID to download Mountain Lion.

  • Can i download mountain lion with early 2008

    Hi, I'd like to know...
    Hum I have an old mac (MacBook Early 2009 13 inches) and I was wondering if I could download the new software OX X Mountain Lion... since it's really old.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Mountain Lion needs a Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 or newer MacBook. If you have an Early 2009 MacBook, you can upgrade, but if you have an Early 2008 MacBook, you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    Open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    I suggest you 4 GB or more of RAM to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Open  > About this Mac, and check how much memory you have. You can upgrade more memory at OWC or Crucial

  • How to download Mountain Lion without the App Store?

    How I'm able to download and purchase Mountain Lion without App Store?
    I removed the App Store since it was annoying in my application bar and I didn't use it anyway. Right after I searched up all files connected to it and deleted them. This was about 6 months ago.
    Now I need to run a program that requires Java 7, which is only available for Lion+
    Since Mountain Lion was coming out in a few days I waited on it, now it's out and I can't purchase it >.>

  • How to download mountain lion on iMac that already have it?

    I have late 2012 iMac with MacOS 10.8.2 and I'm want to fresh reinstall my OS (no ask me, why, please ).
    I looked in AppStore but saw only "Buy" link, not "Install".
    So I don't understand - I need to pay for it? Why? I already have it installed on my computer.

    My pleasure.
    Here's a link to read about Internet Recovery. You'll see where you have to use it for new hard drives.
    OS X Internet Recovery
    If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery System, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, automatically use the OS X Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery System (Command-R method above) doesn't work. OS X Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.

    My fathers iMac unfortuneately doesn't run snow leopard..
    Beware : Because the Machine now is a Leopard ( 10.5.x ) one, check the following :
    If the iMac is a PowerPC one ( G4/G5 processor ) , then it can't run either Snow nor Lion, because both require an Intel processor. If that is the case, then OSX 10.5.8 is the last available and maximum OS it can run.
    Snow Leopard runs on any Intel if at least 1GB Ram is present, while Lion needs a 64bit Dual Core Intel CPU ( Core2Duo or later ) and double the amount of Ram , 2GB minimum.

  • Help with downloading Mountain Lion with redemption code, please

    I bought a new MacBook Pro. I was able to get a redemption code, but I don't know where to plug in the redemption code. I've been on the App store web site, but I don't see where to put in the code. Also, if my OS says version 10.8, do I already have it installed?

    Launch the MAS app and click on the redeem link. Then, follow the directions.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion onto my other iMac, after the initial install?

    I am wondering how to download Mountain Lion onto my second iMac, after the initial install.  I understand the purchase is for multiple computers, but I have completed the install on my first iMac.

    Once you’ve purchased Mountain Lion, find the installer on your Mac. It’s called Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and it should have been downloaded to your main Applications folder (/Applications).
    Right-click (or Control+click) the installer, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu.
    In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support; you’ll see a disk image file called InstallESD.dmg.
    Launch Disk Utility.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disk image into the bottom (empty area) of Disk Utility’s sidebar (on the left).
    In Disk Utility, select InstallESD.dmg in the sidebar, and then click the Open button in the toolbar to mount the disk image’s volume in the Finder. The mounted volume is called Mac OS X Install ESD, and it also appears below InstallESD.dmg in Disk Utility.
    Select Mac OS X Install ESD in Disk Utility’s sidebar, then click the Restore button in the main part of the window.
    Drag the Mac OS X Install ESD icon into the Source field on the right (if it isn’t already there).
    Connect to your Mac the properly formatted hard drive or flash drive you want to use for your bootable Mountain Lion installer.
    In Disk Utility, find this destination drive in the left-hand sidebar and then drag it into the Destination field on the right. (If the destination drive has multiple partitions, just drag the partition you want to use as your bootable installer volume.) Warning: The next step will erase the destination drive or partition, so make sure it doesn’t contain any valuable data.
    Click Restore, and then Erase in the dialog box that appears; if prompted, enter an admin-level username and password.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must 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.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    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.

  • Download mountain lion free on my macbook pro with retina display

    How can I download mountain lion free on my macbook pro with retina display since I bought it after June 11th?

    I should add I am trying to upgrade it from UK and it seems it is only doabla in USA.

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • HT4759 how do i free up 4 gb of space so i can download mountain lion os x

    what is the best way to free up 4 gb of space to download mountain lion os?

    How much free space do you hafve on your MBA?  It's recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB of free space for optimal system and application performance, space needed for cache and virtual memory files.  If you don't have enought for the Mt. Lion download you're running is dangerous waters. 
    I suggest you get and an EHD and move your less needed files to it so you can achieve the 10 GB free space recommendation.
