Impossible to buy and download Mountain Lion OSX 10.8 / HELP !!! Please!!

Hey everyone,   I've just had 1 problem today with not understanding  that Mac Osx Lion isn't the same that Mac Osx Mountain Lion.   My  question got solved finaly.  The thing is. I'm under OSX Lion 10.7.5 but  I need the version Osx Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to make working my new  version of Logic. (Logic X).   I'm quiet pi..ed of that I was looking  all the day and it isn't working from my App Store.  I can't buy  Mountain Lion and I can't download it. But any other app is working as I  just randomly downloaded a cheap app.  The message error is  : Your  Purchase Could Not Be Completed , We could not complete your request.  There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)     Please help to find out what the problem is.    Cheers    Y

    Not sure about YouTube, but facebook integration isn't available until this fall.

  • Downloading Mountain Lion OSX

    I just found out that I cannot purchase and download the osx installation.
    Is this true?
    I urgently need the file, and a DVD won't do the job.
    Is there a way I can purchase and download Mountain Lion?

    Mountain Lion doesn't ship on DVD - it is download only, as QuickTimeKirk says.
    The link I provided is a bona fide link to the Apple Online Store - the only place to legitimately purchase Mountain Lion. They will issue you with a Redeem Code that you can use at the Mac App Store (you will need to be running at least OS X 10.6.6 on your Mac to have access to the Mac App Store). When you redeem the code the Mountain Lion OS X Installer file will be downloaded to your Applications folder. You make want to make a copy of it it before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation - it may save you another 5gb+ download in the future.
    It would be a good precaution to have tried and tested backup (Time Machine or a clone) that you can restore from if things go wrong (they shouldn't) or if you need to revert to the condition prior to upgrading for any reason.
    Whilst Mountain Lion will work with 2gb of RAM installed, 4gb or more would be better. Also, some older apps may no longer work as Mountain Lion no longer supports Rosetta which enabled older PowerPC apps to run. Here is a reasonably comprehensive compatibility list. If there any older apps you rely on in your workflow they may also need to be upgraded as well:

  • I re-booted my macbook pro recently and downloaded mountain lion. Afterwards iPhoto disappeared and I'm having difficulty restoring it. Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
    We could not complete your purchase
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
    Thank you!

    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery

    For that issue, 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
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion OSX, but can't install the thing. Why not?

    Question

    Problem solved - I was using my Apple I.D. Password by mistake when I should have been using my Mac OSX password. Apple support gave me this solution and I was then able to install the Mountain Lion OSX with no problemo!

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion OSX three days ago.  On start-up my IMac shows a black DOS screen.  Must unplug the Mac to restart.  Please help!

    I downloaded OSX Mountain Lion three days ago.  On startu my IMac shows a black DOS Screen. I must hard boot and it works.  Does anyone have the same problem?

    "I did an upgrade from OSX Lion to OSX Mountain Lion and I also get a black boot screen ONLY from a cold startup. If I type exit, my macbook pro startsup normally."
    I already made a clean install and it didn't fix anything - the issue still exists (on my MBP 5.1 late 08)
    BUT: the most horrible thing is: I also tried to downgrade to 10.7.4 (it worked perfectly before the update to 10.8!!!) and after being back on 10.7.4 it also boots (cold boot) into single user mode...
    Now I'm back on 10.8 again (the 2nd clean install) and waiting for a fix...
    I tried everything (alls kinds of commands, permission rights and reset all PRAM NVRAM SMC... no luck!)
    A friendly guy on the german applehotline told me (after 2h telling him what my problem is): "mountain lion didn't break your mac it must be a hardware error and your mac is out of warrenty - so have a good one...bye"
    Maybe apple will bring an update to fix this because it is ofcourse a software error...
    Best regards from Germany
    I hope Apple brings an update too. I still have this problem. I also tried to do a clean install, which was a lot of work! So it must be a software problem.
    I find it really annoying to get the black boot screen every time I do a cold startup!
    I hope more people who have the same problem post something here, to let Apple now that they have to do someting about it!
    Best regards from the Netherlands.

  • I bought and downloaded mountain lion, but it's in my downloads...

    ...as needing downloaded? I actually just downloaded and installed the update and am running 10.8.1 and it says so under 'about this mac'. I clicked on download and it said that it was already installed, so I cancelled it, and it started downloading! I paused it and now it's waiting for me to resume... What do I do? thanks in advance for your help...I'm a rookie!

    The App Store is referring to the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" application, not to the OS you're running at the time.
    If you want to re-download the installer, you can.  But you can also just ignore it, or hide it, in the App Store.

  • If I buy and install Mountain Lion with my Apple ID, can I log into the App Store on my other Mac and install without paying again?

    I want to buy it and install it on all of my Macs but I wanted to see if this was possible by only paying once.

    Yes.  Buy it and sign on with your other Macs using the same AppleID.  It will be available in the Purchases tab.
    You can also make a copy of it after the first download and move it to your other machines to avoid another 4 gig download.   Make sure to do this before installing as the installer will delete the download from the applications folder.

  • I was downloading Mountain Lion to My Mac Laptop, but then it stopped downloading and now it says there is an error! What should I do??

  • I could not power on my MacBook Air tonight until I held down the power button and accidentally hit the F12 key.  It is 2 1/2 weeks old and I downloaded Mountain Lion 2 days ago.  Help!

    I could not start up my MacBook Air tonight, even after making sure the battery was fully charged.  I have had it for 2  1/2 weeks and downloaded Mountain Lion 2 days ago.  This has never happened before.  It started when I held down the power button and accidentally hit the F12 Key.  Is this a problem and what should I do about it?

    call AppleCare.

  • Where can I download Mountain Lion?

    I was about to upgrade my system from 10.6 to 10.8, but decided to wait for the new OSX announcement. I run professional applications(Pro Tools, FCP, Photoshop) that absolutely NEED to work. Currently, 10.9 isn't a stable platform for these applications from what I've heard, so I'm looking for 10.8.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me that its completely unavailable, it'd be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    -Sean

    You can't. Mavericks is the only available version of OS X. You can only update to 10.6.8. You may be able to obtain it or Lion by the following:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion 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.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion 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.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. 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.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. 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.
