I am trying to update my Macbook Pro to OS X Mountain Lion. Paid for it and not it is not downloading. Anyone know why?
Why am I not able to download OS X Mountain Lion Software on my Macbook pro?
If you can catch it once the download is finished, but BEFORE it starts to install (there will be an "OS X Installer" window opening up), then you could make a copy of that installer so you don't have to wait that long again if you need to reinstall for some reason. To do that, quit the Installer and go find it in your Applications folder. Make a copy of it and park it someplace safe (another folder, external disk); then double click the Installer and go ahead - the Installer will self destruct once it's finished.

Hi,
I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard.
Then updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up.
Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
Awhile ago I updated my Macbook Pro to Mac OS X Lion, am I able to transfer this to my iMac as well? Or do i have to buy the whole thing over again on my iMac?
You need to upgrade the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8; the installer won't run on 10.5.8, and it won't install onto a 10.5.8 system if run from a compatible OS.

My Parallels program is now not working since upgrading my MacBook Pro to OS X Mountain Lion. I was wondering if there is a solution to getting this working again?
You just need to update it to the latest version. See:

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks

Is it possible to mirror the display on the Macbook pro which is two years old to my iMac which is four years old? Macbook pro is running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the iMac is running OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). Neither of them have Thunderbolt ports.
OK, well I would go with what Apple says in writing but if you want to take a trip to visit the Genius Bar that won't hurt.
Good luck, I'm 99% certain you will find I was correct but please let us know.
BTW when posting please click the Reply link in the post you are replying to, otherwise we can't tell who y our comunication is directed to. -
Is there a plug in to make my 2007 macbook pro able to install Mountain Lion
Is there a plug or something in to make my 2007 macbook pro able to install Mountain Lion?
I bought it in early 2007 so just miss out on the cut off point. Is compatibilty based on Hardware or software?
Thanks

No. The architechture is too old. I think Lion will be as far as you can go, as a guess without knowing your specs. But if the machine cannot run Mountain Lion then there is no way of doing it (short of replacing the mechanics which would be more expensive than buying a more up to date Mac)

I cannot afford an iMac, can anyone recommend a widescreen Monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro. It will be used mainly for iPhoto and Aperture. TF
Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

Macbook Pro runs slow using Mountain Lion?
I have access to use a Macbook Pro which is running Mountain Lion. However, the MBP runs very slowly and the coloured wheel is constantly spinning with almost everything I try to do. I do not know why and would like to be able to have a normal running MBP.
I wondered whether installing Yosemite might help? Or I have read some posts about resetting the System Management Controller. Please can someone give me some advice as to what to do that will work?
Thank youInstalling Yosemite will probably NOT help.
Slow MBPs usually are a result of a failing HDD, third party software (often so called 'cleaning' or 'performance' applications) or unnecessary AV software.
SMC resets are good for certain hardware issues and will also probably NOT address the issue.
Download and post an Etrecheck report which may provide some clues:
