I tried unsuccessfully to download Mountain Lion
I tried unsuccessfully to download Mountain Lion (installer I suppose) on a MBP 17" running under 10,6,8.
After clicking on the "dowload" buttion, ssurprisingly I vas not asked to pay, the downloading began and lasted deveral hours as apparentlly usual, but when finished I didn't find the downloaded file.
Though ML appears in my bought products list, .
App store app doesn't work correctly any more, for example I can't disconnect.
How to pay for and to reload again ML ?
The ML installatin file "Installer OS X Mountain Lion.app" is inside Applications folder, it is not a ".dmg" file.
I have been able to use it, although I didn't pay for it...??

The disk is locked when I tried to download Mountain Lion
I have macbook air which is less than one year old. So few days ago, I turned on the computer and there is this flashing folder with a question mark on it. Went to the service centre, and they concluded that everything is okay except that there is a software error and suggest I reinstall the OS through internet recovery. The internet recovery systen require me to have disk to download Mountain Lion. Tries to use my 8 Gb usb drive and it says that it requires to be in gpt format. Finally, made my usb drive to be in gpt format using my windows computer. Then tried to use it again but now it says that my usb drive is locked. Anyone knows to fix this problem? I don't have another Mac so I can't fix it using Mac.
I wasn't able to load to Disk Utility using commad R. I could go back to the main menu of the internet recovery and select Disk Utility to make any changes to the USB drive like making it GPT formatted. Thanks!

I have been trying to download my copy of Mountain Lion for last 3 days and the download is stuck at 53.25mb. I tried all of the restart/ Cookies deletion that apple support staff recommended to no avail. Download starts from begining and once it's 53.25mb downloaded, the remaining time goes upto and beyond 650 days and counting.
Is there any guru, who can help me download Mountain Lion this year? Preferably in a days time !
Cheers!Doesn't strike me as a "high traffic" issue, if you pause the download can you open the /Applications/ folder on your Mac and see if the installer already present? If you can stop the download and delete the installer (because it is not finished), the try again?
If you've already done the above have you tried using Disk Utility First Aid from your Recovery HD?
Try to verify/repair the disk and see if that takes care of it. (Of course make sure you have a good, recent backup before trying this.)
If you're still having issues: re-install OS X from the Recovery HD, install all available software updates, try again. -
Downloaded Mountain Lion update 10.8.2 last night. All went well until the message after the download – restart your mac to install this update. The screen went white and the machine didn’t restart. After waiting for quite a while, I shutdown using the main power button. Restarted iMac later and it opened in 10.8.1 and the iTunes icon informed me that I had an upgrade to 10.8.2 that required me to restart the machine to install the upgrade. I did this and again, the screen went white and froze when trying to restart. Rebooted thinking I might be OK to run in 10.8.1 and ignoring the update but when I tried this the Mac worked fine but when I came to shut down I got the white screen freeze thing again. Does anyone have any easy-to-follow solutions for this or will I have to shut down using the main power button every day?
Many thanks for any suggestions.Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -

Trying to up date my OSX currently use 10.7.5. i have tried to download mountain lion but it says i need 10.8.0 but i cant find the download link to download 10.8.0 HELPPPP!!!
Download Mac OS X 10.9 from the Mac App Store. If it's incompatible with your computer, Mac OS X 10.8 will be as well.

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. -

Yes, you can only use it once. But now the Lion Installer should be in your list in the Purchases pane with everything else you have bought. There it should have a download button. -
Trying to download Mountain Lion, I have 2 accounts, both with less than $20 for the new App. Together they add up to $20. Can I merge account totals?
I have now spoken to Apple about my problem and they told me to explain the situation to my Broadband service provider British Telecom (BT).
For reasons not explained, BT suggested the problem lies with the Router hardware they have supplied (BT Business Hub - 2701HGV). Although it is relatively new there is something that prevents it from downloading Mountain Lion???
They are posting me a new one which will not arrive for 2 days. I will let you know if the new router solves this issue. -

By install i presume you mean add it to the bottom of the machine ?
Yes, and it's rather easy to do too.
Your machine has two slots. These are the specs for a 2008 iMac (if your machine is different then check with Crucial.com and they will match the correct RAM for your machine)
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
So all you need to do is visit Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing to order it, and OtherWorld Computing has install videos.
Here is one on YouTube. Easy pleasy.
Just make sure to discharge any static electricity and not touch the contacts, just the plastic edges.
