I want to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. Seems the app store only allows the new Maverick to be downloaded. Is there is a link to still install Mountain Lion?

I upgraded a couple weeks ago on my macbook pro, and now that Mavericks is out, it seems one can't install anything but the latest. Some of my apps aren't yet compatible and I need to wait. I have a 2009 MacPro.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

Call 800 MY APPLE and get sales support. They can work it out. It is still possible to purchase Mountain Lion, they send you various emails and links to do so. It costs $19.95.
In my case, I had purchased it for another computer, I was told if I go to purchases at the App Store, there it is, and I can download it to the one that needs it. It's that simple.

  • I want to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, do I have to back up all my personal data??

    I am wondering that in order to upgrade from mac os lion to mac os mountain lion do I need to back up my personal data, or upgrading will start my mac from 0 ?? Please help,I've been putting this on hold for not having a back up disk =(

    Upgrading your Mac will preserve all your user data and settings.
    That said, it is never good to be w/o a backup. So make one now. Use TIme Machine or
    SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.

  • Want to upgrade from Lion (Mac OS X 10,7) to Maverick (Mac OS X 10.9) with Boot Camp already installed on my hard drive?

    Just get this iMac 27" Core i5 2,7GHz with a splitted Hard Drive.
    Work with Lion  and Window 7 and wish to rise up my hard drive section for
    Mac to 10,9.5  without touching the Windows partition? Is it possible ?

    Yes. Back up both systems and upgrade Mac OS X normally; you probably won't need to use the backup immediately.
    Note that unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer before Yosemite came out, you won't be able to get it.

  • Need help upgrading from Lion 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2.

    I want to upgrade from Lion 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 in order to use iCloud that is on my other devices.  The software updater on my Mac says there are no updates available.  What to do to get the latest OS?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard, not Lion. Lion is 10.7.x. Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. The installed version will be shown in the display window.
    If you are running 10.7 or 10.7.1 you can download the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo.

    You cannot. There is no upgrade path from CS3 to CS6 any more. That window closed a couple of years ago.
    Your options now:
    Buy a full new version of CS6, or
    Join the Cloud

    Contribute 6.5 is the current version and Adobe only sells current versions.
    Unfortunately Contribute CS3 is too old to qualify for an upgrade. Only CS4 and newer qualify.

    You'll either have to pay full price for CS6.5 or find another software solution.

  • How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X

    Hi my question is "How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X?"
    I don't want to lose any data from my current Lion OS X, at the same time I don't have enough external HDD to backup. I tried to do the same was as http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ says but I didn't get Mountain Lion OS X as an option for update.
    Pleade advice,
    Mustafa

    Well, right.  In 99.99% of cases you shouldn't lose any data.
    But if something goes wrong, well, if you don't have a backup you're SOL.
    You truly don't have ANY drive that you're using for Time Machine?
    FYI: It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN, your hard drive will fail.  It will eventually happen, so you should have a backup, unless you don't have any data you care about.

  • Why would upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion more than double the size of my Time Machine backup?

    I have a 500GB Time Capsule that has 248 GB used. After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, Time Machine reported that there was no longer enough room on the TC to complete the backup. Surely the new system files aren't taking up over 200GB? Does it somehow want to copy all of my user files again, even though the vast majority of those haven't changed since the previous backup?
    I'd like not to have to upgrade to a larger TC just because of a system upgrade.
    Thanks in advance.

    If it is working as expected, what do you need with the old backup?
    If you want to be able to go back to where you were prior to an upgrade, isolate that backup and don't use it again. As far as Time Machine can tell, the whole drive changed.
    The link I posted contains probably everything that anybody knows about Time Machine and how to manipulate it to work as you would like as opposed to how it was designed to work. There are FAQs to continue a backup as opposed to starting fresh, but I wouldn't recommend it for the reasons above. Pondini probably doesn't, either.
    If you are going to do a wholesale upgrade of the OS, I would create a bootable clone using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. A bootable clone on an external drive can have you back up and running instantly if the upgrade fails in any way. If the upgrade goes fine, store it away in case you find the current system isn't to your liking.

  • I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

    I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • I want to Upgrade from 10.5.8 OS (Leopard) to Lion through Snow Leopard (10.6, 10.6.3)

    I want to Upgrade from 10.5.8 OS (Leopard) to Lion, and I know I have to Upgrade to Snow Leopard first: can I buy the 10.6.3 installer or do I have to buy the 10.6? Is the same thing? Will they work the same way if I have a 10.5.8?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Snow Leopard disc which Apple sells includes OS X 10.6.3, so don't worry about that. Also, if you buy a Snow Leopard disc with 10.6, updates until 10.6.8 are completely free through  > Software Update. You can buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Make a backup before upgrading. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version. After updating to 10.6.8, you will be able to upgrade to Lion (call Apple to purchase Lion) or Mountain Lion (you can purchase OS X Mountain Lion in the App Store)
