HT4854 I downloaded Mountain Lion, now can't find it, to install. About this Mac, says I am still on 10.7.4

Last night, I downloaded Mountain Lion. I watched, as an unfamiliar screen came up, showing the download progress, when it was all over, my desktop went back to looking and acting just like Lion. I tried restarting it, nothing. I tried restarting again, nothing. I performed a "Find" for Mountain Lion, nothing. I performed a "Find" for OSX 10.8, nothing. I am simply trying to install it on the computer I downloaded it to.
What am I doing wrong? I wrote an email to Apple support, and got a "canned" email back, telling me how to generically retrieve downloads from the App Store. But, by following those directions, I do not see (nor did I expect to see) Mountain Lion in my iTunes. I see it in my download history, but no method to install it, which I thought it was doing, last night, when I bought and thought I was downloading it.

Open Launchpad and see if "Install Mountain Lion ..." is displayed. If it is then you will find the application in your Applications folder.
Normally, the applicaton launches automatically after it is downloaded. You would have to click on the Install button in order to start the upgrade.

  • I had OS 10.5.8 on my Macbook and couldn't run turbotax 2012 because of that. I purchased Snow leopard on CD and installed it. Now, about my ABOUT this mac says 10.6.8. Now, I can't print to my Lexmark z705. I get an error message.

    I had OS 10.5.8 on my Macbook and couldn't run turbotax 2012 because of that. I purchased Snow leopard on CD and installed it. Now, about my ABOUT this mac says OS 10.6.8. Now, I can't print to my Lexmark z705. I get an error message with no explanation.

    Unless there are drivers provided by Apple to work with the printer, you're out of luck. The latest drivers provided by Lexmark are for OS X 10.4 Intel. Unfortunately, this can happen when slightly older peripherals and newer software don't mesh. 

  • HT202159 Hi can anyone help? Can't download - Mountain lion now permanently 'paused' in the dock. Purchase page does not have the resume button and I have already signed in & out again... HELP!

    Hi
    Can anyone advise...
    Cannot download Mountain Lion after purchasing from Apple online. Mountain Lion icon is now permanently 'paused' in the dock. The Purchase page has the download but no resume button. I have enter the code again but it cannot be redeemed again. I have signed in and out again from the tab at the top of the page.
    I have spoken to Apple for two evenings now. Last attempt was to bypass the Mountain Lion and download Mavericks overnight but nothing downloaded.
    I have checked the internet connection and all is well.
    Any ideas how to progress... I have an appointment to take in to Apple on Monday...

    Have you tried to resume the download using Launch Pad?  The icon should be in your Dock.
    If that doesn't help ...
    Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, and MacKeeper can prevent apps from downloading
    Disable anti virus software if installed
    Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Can I download Mountain Lion now but install later

    I made a " Qualifying purchases between June 11, 2012, and July 25, 2012 " so I have until August 24, 2012 to download Mountain Lion for free according to <http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/>
    Can I download Mountain Lion before that deadline but install it later on?
    I'd like to go from Lion to Mountain Lion when ML has nay initial bugs resolved.
    Thanks.

    Yes, the installer downloads to the Applications folder, if after downloading it asks to continue to do the installation just close that dialogue.  Later, when you are ready to install click on the installer in the Applications folder and it will do its thing.

  • Can we still download Mountain Lion now that Mavericks is out?

    Unfortunately, my Macbook is too old to install the Mavericks OS. Is there a way users like me still get Mountain Lion?

    You are wrong.
    To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2008) is not able to run neither Mountain Lion or Mavericks. You could go as high as Lion. That's all.

  • I have a 27in. i5 2011 iMac. Since downloading mountain lion, I can't print or scan, using an Epson AIO Artisian 835, plus I can't do upgrades. and of course I lose wi-fi. I think if I could do upgrades, I could fix the print/scan problem. Any ideas?

    I've had several problems since downloading Mountain Lion. As with many others, I lose wi-fi on wake-up. I've also lost my ability to print or scan and I can't do upgrades. If I can't fix these issues, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and go back to Lion?

    What is wrong with your Mac?  You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
    the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine
    What do you mean by "wasn't fine".  We can't see your computer so you'll have to describe what your're experiencing in detail without the editorializing.
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.

  • I have downloaded Mountain Lion, now when I try to open a document in Pages, it says I need an updated version.

    I downloaded Mountain Lion this morning. Now when I try to open a document in Pages, it says I need a newer version. When I go to the App Store, it says I have Pages installed.

    What version of Pages are you running now?
    The newest update is 4.2 at least for the box set version I have which came out a couple of days ago.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion--now my computer is horrible.

    Hello.
    My wife encouraged me to download Mountain Lion and I did.  Since the download, my computer is moving horribly slow.  The apps are slow, Safari is slow and things are freezing up.
    Unforuntately, I am on vacation in Europe and I can't get to a local apple store.  Does anyone know what I can do to either fix/improve my issues or get back to Lion.  I have a Macbook Air that is only 10 months old.
    I have tried Verifying Disk Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions--recommended by a friend.
    PLEASE HELP!!  I am so angry.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.

  • I need to update to Maverick. I'm currently running OS 10.7.5 and every time I try to find a compatible update to even update to Mountain Lion, I can't find it. My computer is running slowly and I can't use iPhoto.

    Okay, so I can't upgrade to Maverick because it's incompatible, nor do I happen to have thousands of dollars to dish out for a new Mac. I can't even find the next upgrade. Every time I click "Software Update" it finds nothing related to this. And it's also really important for me to be able to use iPhoto which lately just gives me the rainbow wheel of death even though I've tried several fixes.

    There are no software updates for Lion (10.7) past 10.7.5.
    If your machine supports Mountain Lion (10.8) you can buy it at the Apple Store. They'll send you a redemption code via email and you can use it at the App Store to download Mountain Lion.
    http://www.todaysiphone.com/2013/10/online-apple-store-offering-redemption-codes -os-x-lion-mountain-lion/
    iPhoto is not part of the OS and each of those apps can be purchased via the App Store.
