I attempted to download Java for Mountain Lion and it had no positive effect. ~Marlin
I attempted to download the Java enabler for Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) and it had absolutely no effect. How should I proceed?
Thank you,
~Marlin
Open Java Preferences.app in the Utilities folder. It will tell you what version you have, allow you to download it if not present, and allow you to enable it.

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?
It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?
How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.
also this takes huge amount of time, almost 10 hours to download, even using 3G Net connection.Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

i have paid for mountain lion and it says it is dowloading ....but nothing seems to be happening? it is a macbook 6,1 (4 years old?) and is currently running OS X 10.6.8
It's a 4+ GB file. It takes some time if you have a slow Internet connection. You may have lost connection with the server. Try pausing the download for a few second then restarting.

i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite
You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck

I recently downloaded mountain lion and just had it emailed to me but I'm having trouble downloading it to my computer. I cannot find the button that says "redeem" under quick links.
You must have a minimum of OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed on your Mac to have the Mac App Store. The Quick Links are on the Featured pane.

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. -
Have got Keynote in my mac. Downloaded keynote for my ipad and I had to pay for it. is it not supposed to be free since i have a version of it in my macbook?
No, those are different apps... The one for your Mac is the computer version, and looks different. Both are developed for their separate OS's: iOS and OSX.

I keep getting an error message "The application could not be downloaded" when I am downloading OS X Mountain Lioin. Need help.
You're certrain your Mac qualifies for Mountain Lion? > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Make sure there's enough available space on the install disk to install Mountain Lion (4.35GB file).
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then click Storage from the menu.
Make sure there's never less than 15% available spacce. -
I have OS 10.6, do I have to update to 10.7 before I download 10.8 "Mountain Lion", and pay again?
I'm still running OS 10.6, and have decided to upgrade to 10.7 Lion.
However, the Apple website has just informed me that 10.8 Mountain Lion is coming
this summer.
Do I have to buy Lion, and then again by Mountain Lion? Should I just wait until
Mountain Lion launches so I don't have to pay twice?

Until Apple makes the technical specifications for Mountain Lion public, no one can answer this question. -
why after Download updates for the lion 10.7 and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates and I can't upgrade the software ?
The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps. -
My data I need is on my computer but it needs to be repaired but can't and when I try to restore it/back it up it ends abruptly with error code 32 broken pipe.
It was damaged while installing os x mountain lion and I found my data on disk repair (utility)Sounds like your hard drive is badly corrupted, likely due to problems that were already there when you started trying to install Mountain Lion. The problem is, if you don't have any backups already, you may not be able to recover all your data from this state. Do you have backups of that data already?
If not, I assume when you say that "it needs to be repaired but can't," you mean that Disk Utility tells you there is a problem with the disk, but that it is unable to repair it? If so, you can try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior, which can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. That may give you access to your data again, but may not.
Also, it's important to understand that if your data is not backed up, everything you do with the computer runs the risk of overwriting or corrupting that data. You may want to go straight to trying to recover your data. See Recovering deleted files.
Regarding the error code, if you're trying to back up the drive using Disk Utility's Restore tab, note that that is often not successful when the drive you're trying to back up is corrupt.
Once the situation is resolved - either because you have backups, are able to recover your data files or are forced to accept that they are gone permanently - you will need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system and all your apps from scratch. -
Download button for Mountain Lion
Successfully downloaded and installed Mountain Lion from the App Store this afternoon. Under Purchased items in the store it is showing Mountain lion with a live black download button. Apparently the App Store has not recognized the downloading and installation of same. Not a big deal but I'm concerned whether the App Store will still offer me updates of the OS in the future. Is there a way to get the App Store to recognize my installation of Mountain Lion?
Should the App Store Purchase section be showing it as installed
Not necessarily. The Download button is available if you want to re dowload Lion to use that download to create a Mountain Lion install disc.
And, if you want to download Mountain Lion on another qualifying Mac, you can do so using that same button at the App Store using the same Apple ID for free.
See: Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms: here > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As long as you see v10.8 in "About This Mac", you're good to go.
You're welcome. -
HT4854 Don't see download link for Mountain Lion on 2nd machine
When I open my app store on a 2nd iMac after installing ML on the 1st (with the same iTunes account), I don't see ML in my 'Purchases' list. The link for ML shows the price, I'm hesitant to click through in case I'm charged again. Any thoughts?
then the mountain lion download is ready , opens the installer ...close them and then make a copy of the osx-installer.app ( in /Applications ) on an external drive or similar ...then re-execute the installer.app...so you do not download the installer twice
it take some time to appear in purchases (Mountain Lion )...if the download not appear then rebuild the appstore cache
in Finder the Menu Go to ----> Go to Folder ----> /Users/username/Library/Caches .... there is the folder com.apple.appstore delete this folder , this should be rebuild the cache if you next time start the appstore
an other solution is the terminal ( Applications/Utilities)
open the terminal
cd /Users/username/Library/Caches
rm -dR com.apple.appstore
