I was so close to getting my Mountain Lion OS.....

.....after so many stupid problems were solved, but then when I was going to hit the final redeem button, it said my request was unavailable. Even if I'm getting it free, was it because I don't have a card on file? My friend said so, but even then, my request was still unavailable. I'm confused.

"card on file"??
I assume when you talk about the "Redeem" button, you mean the one in the Mac App Store under "Quick Links" on the right side of the "Featured" tab. I also assume you probably were eligible for a code for free Mountain Lion because you purchaed a new Mac.
The redeem code is a 12 digit code. Again, I'm confused by your "card on file", but the way I believe most people get the code is by receiving 2 emails from Apple. One email contains a lengthy password code (with dashes in it) that is used to open a PDF file in a second email. That PDF file contains the 12 digit code you use to redeem your Mountain Lion.

Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?

Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?
Please help!

My results jumped up from around 1000 to 10,000 when I did that.
I think this may have to do with having x11 and xcode installed.
In case anyone is interested, these are the folders I've had to exclude:
User\Library\Developer
System\Library\Frameworks
opt in the root folder of the HD (this is x11. You may have to Finder's 'go to folder' option to get to it.)
There was also Office stuff coming up which looks like it's from the system when you see it (the identities folder and the subfolder within the Office 2011 folder in Applications)
The combination of this stuff seemed to create the impression of more files from the System and Library folders were coming up than actually were.
In case anyone is still reading, the stuff *still* being thrown up that I'm aware of is
Mountain Lion screensavers from the System and Library folders.
PreferencePanes - System, PreferencePanes - User and PreferencePanes - Library folders, which each show up as individual results.
But, as you say, bispymusic, perhaps Apple has deigned that those folders appear in results. Thanks a lot for your help! Have a good one.

I am using the os x 10.7.5 how can i get the mountain lion in order to upgrade to Mavericks

What, specifically, is your Mac model?
MacBook Pro, but need the year it was released, processor speed, etc. This will determine if it *can* be upgraded further.
Best,

I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download.

I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download. Restarted my system and did not find the Download on my Launchpad. Is there anyway I can continue that download? Tried refilling the form, no Luck Though!
The form says I have already claimed my Free Code for my MacMini Serial!
I live in India and this is a very common problem I am guessing! Slow Internet Speeds and Power Issues!
Help would really be Appreciated!

Thanks so much mate! The download has begun, from the top though! Doesn't really matter as long as I have it downloading! Cheers! And Big Thanks again!

I'm currently running OS X 10.5.8. What Do I need to do to get to Mountain Lion?

I'm currently running OS X 10.5.8. What Do I need to do to get to Mountain Lion? Looking for the cheapest route. Also, where should I buy to get it the cheapest/quickest? Thanks...

There is only one way to upgrade your Mac to Mt Lion. That is IF your Mac can run Mt Lion. Check the Apple Mt Lion specs for a list of system that will and that will not run Mt Lion.
If your system can then you will first need to buy Snow Leopard from Apple, $19, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 from Software Updates. Then you can use the Mac App Store to upgrade to Mt Lion for another $19.
That is the only, easiest and cheapest way.

Should I close close Parallels before installing Mountain Lion?

Should I close Parallels before installing Mountain Lion?

Thanks, William, for the speedy reply. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones that can give the update 5 stars. I upgraded my Parallels to version 8 and found a slight speed increase. Everything is backed up in case the upgrade causes problems.

HT4882 This no longer seems to work since Lion was installed and still not with Mountain Lion.

It seems this feature has stopped working only since Lion (now Mountain Lion)was installed. I wil try an old copy of an earlier OS as an external boot to check but this appears to be anOS upgrade problem.

The Swedish site you've linked is discussing .xmodmap, which is a hidden (hidden because of that leading dot) configuration file in your login home directory that's used to customize settings for the keyboard mapping within X11.
I'd expect the XQuartz tool to read ~/.xmodmap in your login directory as part of its initialization sequence.
The xmodmap tool (no leading dot, and not a hidden file) is an application that's used to process the configuration file.
When you invoke xmodmap (the tool), you either need to specify the full path /usr/X11/bin/xmodmap for it to be found and invoked, or you need to have the /usr/X11/bin/ directory added to your PATH. Your PATH is the list of directories where OS X looks for the tools you're invoking.
If the xmodmap tool is not working, are there any diagnostics? Or is XQuartz not honoring the request? (If so, see if it will honor the setting made via the .xmodmap configuration file.)
And if you don't get an answer here, you might try the (pretty quiet) Apple x11-users mailing list.

How can I get my Mountain Lion more stable on the internet? It keeps losing the signal. Lion is solid as a rock on my other Macbook using the same router.

I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air, and it works without a hitch except for internet connectivity. It keeps losing the signal. My Macbook using the same connection is solid as a rock and never loses the connection. Is there something I can do? Since my Macbook works weell under exactly the same conditions and if memory serves so did my Macbook Air with Lion before I downloaded Mountain Lion, none of the usual fixes seem to apply.
Applehank

I have the same problem, I think. I dont lose wifi signal, the mba stays connected to the router the whole time. Pings also seem unaffected by this problem. The problem is that web pages seem to load intermittently, in other words, it loads a page in 2 minutes. It loads:
the first 25% in the first 5 seconds
the next 25% in the next 50 seconds
the next 25% in the next 5 seconds
the last 25% in the last 50 seconds
Its quite annoying considering this can be as simple a page as goolge search results or even google.com.
I thought it was my ISP and i even made a big racket about it, switched ISPs and I have the same problem.
With the previous ISP I had a cisco router. This new ISP supplied their own modem/wifi. That doesnt seem to be the problem.
Im thinking its a config issue on my mba. I have the latest updates to ML.
Any ideas?

The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed. Cannot dowload Mountain Lion on iMac. Have purchased and installed on MacBook Pro

After on installation cannot download and install on iMac after installing successfully on Mac Book Pro

I have this problem also. I was able to download Mountain Lion to my daughter's Mac Mini without any trouble. However, I can't download this to my MacBook Pro. I have read other sites that suggest VirusBarrier is the problem and recommend turning it off in VirusBarrier>Preferences>Advanced. I have tried this and it still doesn't work, although some report that it has worked for them.

Where can I get a mountain lion download or disk. Mavericks I need to downgrade

I upgraded to Maverick when it came out. Unfortunately, I did not have a backup of the disk with Mountain lion on it. The laptop came with mountain lion preloaded. How can I get another copy?
<Subject Edited by Host>

If your Mac came new with Mt Lion Pre-Installed it will always be available to you.
You have to boot the computer to the Online Internet recovery system by holding down the Command + Option/Alt + r key at startup and hold them down until you see a globe on the screen. That willl boot the computer from the Apple servers from across the internet. Once that fully loads you can use Disk Utility to repartition the drive as one partition to remove all traces of Mavericks and then use the other option, once you exit disk utility, to Reinstall Mac OS X and Mt Lion will be downloaed from the internet.
You can also use that same system, once Mt Lion is reinstalled on your hard drive, to save a copy of the download and make your own Mt Lion reinstall DVD or Thumb drive. Google search for make your own Lion, Mt Lion reiinstall thumb drive for directions.

HT1338 Why won't my AppStore open? Anyone else having that problem? I'm trying to get to Mountain Lion to download it.

Every time I try to open up the Mac AppStore on my MacBook Air, it sends an error message. What's the issue? (I'm trying to get to the AppStore to download Mountain Lion!)

Are you unable to download the videos?
Or, are you unable to open/view the videos once you download them?

I finally was able to download and install mountain lion on my macbook pro. Within minutes, I received an email saying my iCloud account was accessed by my apple id. I unchecked the icloud box during the iTunes setup. Can someone tell me if this is a ha

After months of failed attempts, I finally got mountain lion loaded on my macbook pro. Shortly thereafter I received an email saying my id had been used to access icloud. During the setup process, I unchecked the icloud box so I am not sure whether this is normal or has someone else using icloud with my id. I am pretty sure that I did not select iclout for set up.

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

I was so close to getting my Mountain Lion OS.....
