How upgrade os x mountain lion icant"

how to free upgrade!!!

Clone backups are safest.  See my tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
All else being equal, multiple users should update without issue.  Of course you have to think about comptability of applications and drivers first.

  • I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported  because it is a PowerPC app.  It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro.  Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

  • After upgrading to OS Mountain Lion My separate mailboxes under GMail no longer show up on the screen. I couldn't add another mailbox of the same name "because it already exists". How can I make it show up on the left of the screen under GMail?

    After upgrading to OS Mountain Lion my separate mailboxes under Gmail no longer appear on the screen. How can I view them? They are still there because I tried to set up another mailbox with the same name & couldn't "because it already exists".

    Move your cursor down slowly to the right of the Gmail Mailbox and it should say show or hide.

    Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
    Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

  • My imac is currently running on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 How do I upgrade to install Mountain Lion?

    Update your 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 using the :

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then make sure you meet the requirements for Mt Lion:

    Now that being said, the 2GB RAM requirement will not leave you with a smoothly running system. Max out your RAM that your system can handle (more than 8 GB would be up to you) . Older Applications may no longer supported. No Power PC apps are supported past !0.6.8. Many other Apps will need to be updated or upgraded.

    If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

  • How do I redownload mountain lion for a clean install on the same machine without purchasing again?

    I purchased mountain lion and upgraded my OS.  The system seems to still be having some issues and I'd like to do a clean install with the new OS.  How do I redownload mountain lion so that I can make a bootable disk and do my clean install?

    You should be able to just go to the App Store and select Download again. If that doesn't work, try holding down the option key while selecting "Buy".
    Good luck,

  • HT1338 how do i install mountain lion

    how do i install mountain lion the system will not allow me to "app it" as the Mac OS is older than 10.6

    If your Mac is compatible, the upgrade path for you would be to purchase Snow Leopard from the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing that, you would run Software Update to bring it up to 10.6.8.
    Then, you'd access the App Store from Snow Leopard and purchase Mountain Lion.

  • How do I install mountain lion over maverick

    how do I install mountain lion over maverick

    Before the install
    Ensure your data (at least all Home folders) is backed up before you install. Hard disks can fail at any time so it is important to regularly backup to an external disk with Time Machine or a third party alternative. Inexperienced users should follow Apple's install advice but experienced users may prefer to do a clean install.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

  • How do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the household using one 20 dollar license?

    how do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the houshold with the same license (you only pay 20 bucks for all your macs) is that right?

    As long as they're all logged into the Mac App store with the same Apple ID, you can re-download the installer to all the Macs.
    Or you can save a copy of the installer file before you run it and use that to update the other Macs. The ML installer file will appear in your Applications folder when it's done downloading. Copy it to another location (don't move it).
    If you don't copy it before you upgrade, it will disappear when ML is finished installing.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion for free?

    I purchased my MBP in July last year. I need to create a bootable drive of OS. In the app store, it is not showing OSX Lion. There is only the option of downloading Mountain Lion, but that isn't free.
    If I am correct, I am entitled to a free upgrade, right? How do I download Mountain Lion free of cost? I want to have a bootable drive at hand, just in case my MBP goes kaput, like it did about 10 days back.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    No, unfortunately that was the Up-To-Date Program and I think you're a bit late for that. Right now ,the only available DL is Mountain Lion and it's no longer free.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion?

    I am currently running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) and am having trouble finding where do download Mountain Lion.  The website says to download from the Mac App Store, but I don't have that.  How do I download Mountain Lion?

    because I want to be able to create a bootable thumb drive.
    Unfortunately, you can't do that with the App Store version. As mentioned, that version of ML will not work with your Mac as it will not contain the necessary hardware drivers. The App Store version is intended only for users upgrading from Snow Leopard or Lion.
    You really can't make fully restorable boot copy of Mountain Lion. The Recovery Disk Assistant Csound1 linked to is as close as you can get. What you end up with is a bootable disk that behaves exactly the same as the Recovery partition. It's still not a full copy of the OS. Most of it will have to download from Apple's servers.
    The only way to have a fully restorable copy of ML is to clone the entire drive to an external drive and leave it alone. Boot to that drive only when necessary to restore it to a hard drive you've replaced in your Mac, or as another drive to boot to when their's trouble with the main drive.
