How to install previously downloaded app? (Downloaded Mountain Lion, didn't install yet)

Downloaded Mountain Lion but didn't install at the time...rebooted then in App Store it showed the "app" was downloaded but there didn't appear to be any way to install it. Clicking on the item (in the "purchases" tab) took me to the app description, but without any option to install, just download. But I already did that!
Does this mean I need to re-download and therefore imply that installation is required BEFORE you reboot?????
I already tried to click again the "download" option, but that just started to re-download Mountain Lion, and so I cancelled that, and now Mountain Lion doesn't even show in the Purchases tab! So now I may have no option.
Poor job Apple!
Can anyone clarify the process?

Check if it's in the Applications folder. If it's not, you'll need to redownload it.

  • Previously downloaded 'Mountain Lion' - Need to download again.....How??

    Hi, i downloaded 'Mountain Lion' software for my macbook air earlier this year, through the apple website and paid for the license etc etc etc.
    Recently my macbook crashed and i have had to reboot it and start again from scratch therefore i only have snow leopard again.
    Surely i must be able to download my software again for free after paying for it so recently???
    If so how??
    Thanks

    Do you have the OS X firewall turned on? Go to System preferences, Security & Privacy and then the Firewall tab. Turn it off if it is on then try the download again.
    Note the download is 4+ GBs and depending on the speed of your internet connection can take from 1/2 hour to several hours. If you have a slower internet connection you won't see any progress of the bar for some time.
    Check your Applications folder for an entry that doesn't have any extension and some type of funny, incomplete, name. That could be the Lion download and you'll just have to wait for it to complete.

  • 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.

    P.S. The order status in the app shop says - complete - but no download option anywhere.
    And when my computer wants to reinstall mountain lion  - it says, that this ID did not purchse Lion
    What is this supposed to mean? I have to purchase Lion OS as well? or it means mountain lion by this message, but just doesnt see, that my account bought it?

    Hello, Thought I had just downloaded Mountain Lion butcannot find any evidence that it was installed. It is not showing as an icon anywhere and is not listed in downloads and is not listed under purchased apps. Have I just sat here for two hours watching a download that didn't happen? I do have a folder of incompatible software that's all.
    How do I know it has been installed?

    Hello and thanks. I downloaded the upgrade again after your reply to be sure and I believe all is operating smoothly now. Your reply gave me some confidence. I suspect I should not have clicked on a 'x' symbol soon after the download which may have accidentally deleted something before the download/installation process had been completed. Oops probably all my fault.  Birdie39

  • How to restore macbook after downloading Mountain Lion from app store

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion from the app store. How do I restore my Macbook to it's factory settings without the CD? (Since I downloaded it online without the CD)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want to reinstall the original Mac OS X version that came with your computer, you need the Mac OS X DVD that came with the computer.
    If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, the installer creates a recovery partition to reinstall OS X and do some maintenance tasks. You can access to it pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting

  • While downloading Mountain Lion I was asked to connect my mail account (gmail) to the cloud. I did so. Once I entered mail after Mtn Lion installed all sub-mail boxes I had set up disappeared. How can I get them back.

    While downloading Mountain Lion I was asked to connect my maol account to the cloud. I did so. Mtn Lion was installed successfully. When I openned my mail all of the sub-folders I had created are gone along with the emails in them. How can I restore them or does the cloud wipe them out. Thanks

    You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed.  When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I download Mountain Lion on an old mac?

    I have been relentlessly trying to update my mothers Mac. She has an older version of OS X, 10.5.8. I was attempting to download Mountain Lion, but I for the life of me could not get it to work. I have emailed Apple several times with no reply. How do I go about updating her mac to Yosemite?

    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.

    Purchased Installer disc here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)

    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.

    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.
