I tried downloading mountain lion to my new macbook and now it isn't there. What did I do wrong?
I recently bought a new macbook and went to download the upgrade to mountain lion. It showed it was downloading and then showed installing 2 items. Today I checked in "about my macbook" and apparently i still have just lion, not mountain lion. What happened?
Mountain Lion is not an automatic install as part of the App Store download. It puts the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer in /Applications, then automatically launches a dialog expecting you to click "Continue." Once you click continue, it will go through the upgrade process, installing ML, and then delete the previously mentioned installer from /Applications.
If the ML download was successful, the installer should still be found in /Applications.

Any suggestions on downloading mountain lion? It's been almost 5 hours and is still indicating "downloading"!
Where did you find the download?
Apple no longer has Lion on the App Store unles you call them, pay with a credit card, and they give you a special code for downloading. -
I am currently running 10.7.5 on my macbook. I tried downloading Mountain Lion application...but it says 'error'',,,is there another way to upgrade my OS?
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion. -
I have recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my new MacBook Air.
I have recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my new MacBook Air. I have Safari 6.0. I no longer see the "Empty Cache" option on the Safari drop down menu. Where did it go? How can I recover it?
GloriaSafari 6
Mountain Lion comes with Safari 6.
Apple removed "Empty Caches" from Safari menu.
1. Now clearing history clears caches and favicons.
2. Enable Develop menu.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
At the bottom check the box "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in menu bar.
Click Develop and from the dropdown select "Empty Caches".
Best. -

can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one
That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer. Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating. If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists. You can always see if the following is of any use:

I rebooted my macbook pro recently and downloaded mountain lion. Afterwards iPhoto dissapeared and I canr seem to restore it. Any suggestions?
Rebooting is the same as restarting. That should not have any effect on what software is installed on your machine unless something is very, very wrong. Do you mean that you erased the hard drive and installed Mountain Lion? If so, you will also need to reinstall iPhoto. What system did your machine originally ship with? If it came with disks, you can reinstall the iLife apps from the Applications disk.

I am Downloading mountain Lion OS X v10.8 and it gives "error occured", and now i can't see any download/Resume button in the "Purchase section" in App Store. what should i do now ??
Restart your Mac and try again.
Keep in mind, v10.8 Mountain Lion is a 4.35GB (approxmiately) file size and requires a high speed broadband internet connection.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
its more than 24 hours and i havent received the claim of mountain lion for my new macbook pro
Brace yourself - I've been waiting over 48 hours and Apple claims it will take up to 72 hours. After that, God only knows! Oh yeah, if you get your code there's a chance someone's already used it too!

I started downloading Mountain Lion about 30 mins ago and I see no progress. I'm downloading it through my wifi. Is this normal? Should I go to a hard line in instead? Thanks......
You're not using the fast tracks midi out you are using the analog/digital audio.
But go to garageband preferences > Audio Midi and I'm guessing you have the wrong output set. Choose the output that you are using, I'm going to guess built in.
And make sure the fast track is set for audio input. -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Almost immediately I noticed that there was an issue. Every few minutes the screen or page I have open, e-mail, Facebook etc. will start to "jiggle" side to side. Like a nervous tick. During the few seconds it's doing that nothing else responds, it freezes my mouse etc. I guess I was hoping it would go away! Everything else is working just fine, and it never did this until I updated to Mountain Lion. Can this be fixed?
It is probably some incompatible 3rd party software.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
