HT1338 Wanted to purchase and download OS X Mountain Lion.

I wanted to purchase and download OS X Mountain Lion but could not.  Message told me that I did not have enough memory to download.  I have 1GB of ram but they are saying that I Mountain Lion needs 2 GB.  Are they talking desk top memory or what?  I do have 17 GB of memory available.  What to do?

They are talking about RAM, not storage.  See this, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  It provides you steps to install more RAM.  Of course, provided you purchase that ram.

  • I want to purchase a DVD of OSX Mountain Lion.

    There is no purchase link on the OSX page. Only an update link. I want to purchase a retail install DVD and start from a fresh formatted drive.
    Thanks in advance,

    Apple has taken Mac OS X out of the on-line store with the release of Mountain Lion.  Prior to the release you could find/buy the DVD copy of Snow Leopard for $30...now you have to call the Apple telephone order number to buy SL.
    The versions of Lion have always only been available through the Mac App Store, whether the download or the flash drive form.  Mountain Lion is currently only available in download format, no flash drive format has been released and nothing has been said about doing so.
    As Niel pointed out, if you call Customer Service, see http://www.apple.com/contact for the number, with the serial number of your computer Apple will send you the original machine-specific installer disk...there is a fee that I think is around $16 or so for the disk.

  • Streaming and Downloading problems in Mountain Lion Macbook pro

    My new Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion OS) has serious streaming problems. The downloads are also slow. Its nothing to do with internet connection as the same video plays well in my other macbook with snow leopard OS. Could someone help me???

    Same here. Internet speed is 15 Mbps constantly, but it takes 10 minutes to even watch an Apple movie trailer. My iPad, on the same network -- no problems.

  • HT201335 I have no AirPlay icon in toolbar yet after purchasing and installing OS X Mountain Lion

    AirPlay mirroring

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • Wiped hard drive and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion but it installed Lion instead.

    Everything was fine except that it was going slow from 2 years worth of clutter. I wiped the hard drive and continued on with the installation instructions without noticing until now that it installed Lion instead of Mountain Lion. What do I do? If I have to reinstall, I'd rather not have to download it again. I have it on my external hard drive but it won't show up since I did all this.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You used Internet Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X, so Lion was installed instead of OS X Mountain Lion. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    To install OS X Mountain Lion, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download OS X Mountain Lion. If you have a USB drive with Mountain Lion, you can use it to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion

    Hi Brooke,
    There are very simple steps to download creative cloud on your other machine as well.
    You can follow the below links:
    Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps
    Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
    After downloading you can sign in to creative cloud desktop application with your Adobe ID and the applications would be activated.

    Alibutlerdesigns you will use the same process to install on your second computer.  You can copy the installation files using a USB drive if you do not wish to download the installation files again.

    Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded a ringtone and then it just completely disappeared? When I tried to download it again I got the message "You've already purchased this item; are you sure you want to buy it again?"

    You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen.  Not the main one.  Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

    I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
    All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

    Thanks for any help!

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
    If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Good Morning! As a feedback, I still prefer the physical purchase instead of downloads. It suppose to be easier and faster and always end up being slower, annoying and frustrating. I just want to download the software Mountain Lion that I have purchased

    Good Morning! As a feedback, I still prefer the physical purchase instead of downloads. It suppose to be easier and faster and always end up being slower, annoying and frustrating. I just want to download the software Mountain Lion that I have purchased. Redeem is a pain. How do I redeem my purchase without ERROR or COULD NOT RECOGNISE , the code that you have sent to me!!!

    It appears PowerMacs (your profile) aren't supported.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space

  • How do I install Lion on external hard drive? I have purchased and downloaded through App Store but do not know where the download is located so I can install.

    I want to install Lion on an external hard drive. The OS was purchased and downloaded through the App Store but I do not know where the file is.

    If you downloaded the installer it will be in your applications folder. Failing that use spotlight start typing Install and it should show up.
    This is assuming you downloaded the installer from the app store, and didn't just install it onto your mac. If all you have done is install it on your mac. Go to your purchases Lion should show up. Then click download.
    Here is the Support page for installing osx on an external drive.
    OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support
    Hope this helps.

    Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download).  Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.  
    This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a  developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
    If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

    Fair question
    And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
    I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
    Thanks.
