Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility and verify the drive. If it's damaged, repair. If it works properly, reinstall OS X Mountain Lion or restore your backup

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion. -

Hi, an hour ago I was about 75% progress downloading OS X Mountain Lion. I was using a wifi connection on an cafe. I turned off my wifi, forgetting to pause the downloading. Now I am re-downloading from start. Is there a way to retrieve that 75% progress? Thanks for help.
I wouldn't do that either. Just let it complete.
Pausing then disconnection you I net connection may drop the download again and then you may have to start over. -
Is it possible to repurchase the OS X Mountain Lion after erasing Mac HD?
I had thought I already purchased the OS X Mountain Lion before on this apple account, but it appears not. I am trying to reboot my mac and already erased the Hard Drive and found out I do not have it on this account. I then asked my parents if I purchased on their apple account, but they do not remember the email they used for the account, so I am not able to retrieve it. Is there a way to repurchase the OS X Mountain Lion. I do not have the original installation disc either unfortunately. I am right now using my friend's PC to find a way to make the purchase, but it is saying I need to make the purchase using the Mac App Store. Please help me.
I didn't check before erasing the hard drive and I can't go the Mac App Store now to check.
The Mac was originally an old friend who sold it to me back in 2011, the Mac is a 2010 model. My Mac was experiencing some problems, such as when I would open safari, it would keep popping up to keychain was not set up and asking to set default. I followed the guides that people posted in the discussion section and it still didn't work as well as itunes and most apps did not want to open properly and took a while to access. The warrenty on my mac is obviously well over expired and didn't want to go pay money to find out that it needed to be "rebooted", so I decided to do it my self.
I shut off the computer and held down option key as stated in the user manual, and followed the process. I went to utility disc and erased the Mac HD and then when I went to the reinstall OS X Mountain Lion button, it wouldn't let me and that is when I realized it wasn't purchased on this account. There is an option that says "reinstall OS X Mountain Lion". Does that mean I just need to repurchase the OS X Mountain Lion? I did not know I would need to purchase Snow Leopard or Lion. This is the first time I am doing this as well. If i do need to purchase Snow Leopard or Lion, how will I do this? -
Can not Upgrade Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion due to Bootcamp
This is a long standing problem I had since I bought my Macbook Pro (a purchase now I deeply regret) almost two years ago.
I keep asking around every few months, to see if anyone came up with a good solution. I hope someone can help me this time
When I decided to buy my Macbook pro 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard, Apple said that the macbook would run smootly both in OSX and Windows due to bootcamp dual boot. I was quite happy about that,since my job requires me to use some Windows-only software and I was curious about apple products.
Unfortunately, they fail to mention (or maybe they did not foresee) that upgrading anything on both OSX or Windows would have been a true nightmare. Right off the bat I spent countless hours trying to upgrade my graphic card drivers in Windows. More problems arrived every time a new software/upgrade/driver/OS update was coming up. The final blow was the release of OSX Lion.
With a Bootcamp partition it is not possible to upgrade the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion. The reason is because a recovery system can't be created. The only solution I found so far would be:
1) Buy two separate external HD
2) Backup individually OSX and Windows data
3) Re-install OS leopard
4) Upgrade to Mountain Lion
5) Creat a bootcamp partition
6) re-install Windows
7) re-install one by one any software on both OS (Matlab, Ansys, Office .... etc ... etc ... etc... [6-8 hours])
8) Restore all data
9) Wait for next OS release, DO IT AGAIN
Forgive me , but this is absurd. I simply refuse of waste so much time and money
Did anyone have the same problem and found a more cleaver way to solve it?
Thanks!!!!This was solved some time ago. See the following:
I saw a reference to an Apple bulletin on how to solve the problem if Lion rejects your install AND you have a BootCamp partition.
It seems the issue is that the space at the "bottom" of your available space when Lion installs it's partition is already occupied by BootCamp. The fix was to go into Disk Utility; Select your Hard Drive; Select Partition; Move the bottom of your main partition "up" a bit to create a space for Lion; close Disk Utility; Install Lion; once Lion is successfully installed, go back into Disk Partition and drag the bottom of your main partition back "down" to the bottom of the window.
You need to create a space about 2 GB in size. -
Cannot boot into mountain lion after I have set the start volume to CD drive
Previously I need to boot from CD so I have set the start volume to CD drive by pressing command+option+P+R at the same time and change the start up volume to CD drive.
But right now, it can just start from CD but cannot boot into Mac OS (Mountain Lion) which is installed in the hard disk.
I have tried to press command+option+P+R at teh same time during bootup but seems like right now it doesn't recognize this command. I have tried pressing "X" or "option" or spacebar, etc during bootup but still it tries to boot from CD.
Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
I have even disassembled my iMac and the CD drive to remove the previous CD as well. Then it still tries to boot from CD drive but now saying the device is not bootable and ask me to insert a bootup disk. I then tried to put the Mountain lion installation DVD (I previously created the installation DVD by following the DIY way from this link http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/) there in the drive but it still said the device is not bootable.
I have disassembled my iMac again to remove the mountain lion disk right now. So the CD drive is now empty. Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
This is really frustrating .. Hope someone can help.
thanks!Have you ejected the CD/DVD by holding mouse button on bootup?

Can not connect to ftp with mountain lion
Hallo everybody,
i have a problem with my ftp-client, i use cyberduck, i can not connect to any ftp-server...
evertime i get this message:
USER user_xyz
331 User user_xyz OK. Password required
PASS **********
530 Login authentication failed
this will only happen when i try it with mountain lion 10.8.2
with snow leopard and lion everything works fine and i can connect to the ftp-server.
i try to take another ftp-client but its the same... i try filezilla and transmit.
can anybody help me with this problem?In your Network System Preferences, under Advanced, Proxies tab, is Passive mode selected? If it is, try toggling it off then on (or try it with it off).
Also, have you contacted the Cyberduck people to ask if they know about a problem?
Have you tried connecting from Terminal? -
"We could not complete your purchase. Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer"
Which is odd, because 1) I'm already running it, after upgrading from 10.8.1 and simply want to redownload the installer again, and 2) this computer is a MB Pro Retina (late 2012). I would think it's late enough.
Greetings - joining this thread a bit late but running into the same issue. Here is my system data -- this is baffling as it appears that my Macbook Pro *does* meet the minimum system requirements for upgrade to Mountain Lion. I'm running 10.6.8 now. Any advice?

I've used Firefox for a while on my MacBook Pro (about 1.5 years old) and it's worked great. Should be fully updated too. Immediately after I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion, some websites wouldn't load correctly (looked like html or something). Also some websites like YouTube show video fine, but then at least one other website doesn't show the video window at all, much less play it. Safari doesn't have that problem. Any ideas?
Did you try turning off power nap?

My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions. these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!
I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!! -
My original file is an Apple Pro Res 422 .mov with a 10:55 duration at 23.976fps. I don't have any issues converting this file to any other format - just to the MPEG 2. I'm not trying to alter the frame rate: I just want to compress to the two separate files: a Blu-Ray stream MPEG-2 with a bitrate of 30mbs and a Dolby Digital .ac3
No matter what I try I always seem to get a roughly 50 minute file (although this duration varies by 4-6 minutes which is confusing) which contains my original video without any problems, and then is filled with a black screen for the remaining time.
I've never had this issue with previous versions of Compressor - if anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly give them a try!

every time i sent an email with 1 attachment, the recipient receives my attachment plus ATT00047.htm or some other file. why is that? how do i stop that?
We have the same problem every time we send out an email with attachments.
BTW, the ATT prefix on every file has nothing to do with you ATT card. It's just the naming convention used by Mail.app for ATTachment.
Now, can someone tell us how to fix this problem?
Thanks. -
I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].
