A few days ago I bought my first IMAC. I needed to download Mountain Lion, and I would get it for free as it's a new IMAC. Apple sent me a 'content code' - several times - because every time I enter it, it says the code is wrong.

Sorry to ask, but is it case sensitive?
Otherwise best to contact support and register a ticket: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Can i downgrade my macbookpro (model indentify 11.1) to mountain lion, it comes with maveri

can i downgrade my macbookpro with a last generation of proccessor intel (model indentify 11.1) to mountain lion, it comes with maveric. i want to do this because the software that i work can´t run in maverick

I'm assuming that since you bought a new MBP that you don't have a copy of Mountain Lion? If not, I don't think you can find it on the app store anymore but you may be able to find a bootable disk elsewhere, ie. the apple support pages. If you have a copy of Mountain lion, then you should be in luck.
First, if there are any files you want to save, you will want to copy the individual files to another drive so as to save them. You probably don't want to use time machine for this because not everything is backward compatible between the OS's.
Once you obtain a bootable version of Mountain Lion, do this.
Insert the recovery disc via USB or optical bay. (I think it may HAVE to be a USB stick, 4gb min)
Shut down your computer. Wait for it to power down completely.
Power on your computer while pressing and holding cmd + R.
Once the page loads, Select Disk Utility.
Erase the hard drive.
Shut down computer.
Reboot computer.
After that, wait until progress bar is finished and then you should be able to install Mountain Lion.
Good Luck!

How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion? I'm guessing I have to first purchase Snow Leopard? Is there anyway to download or upgrade online?

First, determine how high you can upgrade.
SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Lion requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Mountain Lion has higher requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Also review applications that do not work under Lion or ML to see if you will lose critical functionality: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Research first, as too many have discovered only after the upgrade that things are lost to them.
You can buy SL or Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE. SL is a disk ($19 single disk license, $29 for 5-user license). Lion will be a $19 download code to use in App Store that you get with SL.

USB/Flash support for Mountain Lion

What App is availiable on app store as USB support for mountain lion? There was one 'USBmate'. Is it okay? If not please tell me how to get the USB support. I have downoaded installation of ML but have not installed it because backups have to be on external HDD. Please help me.

I don't know to what you are referring. I think you mean a bootable USB flash drive for installing OS X. If so, then know there is no such thing for Mountain Lion. There was for Lion, but it is no longer available. Apple never included any installer disc for computers with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed.
Reinstalling Lion or Mountain Lion is done through the Internet Recovery - OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
If you download Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store you can save the installer application and make a bootable installer from it:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

Is a Brother MFC-9970CDW supported in Mountain Lion?

Is a Brother MFC-9970CDW supported in Mountain Lion? I have tried a couple of work-arounds with no success.

I am using a mfc-490-cw (orignally after updating to ML) it worked, then at one point in time I received an update from apple and it worked.
What I would do is check for updates on the mac side (software update) to see if anything is there and then I would wander over to brother to see if they have any patches for mountain lion.

Just purchased imac, how do I redeem osx mountain lion code? I only see an option to purchase when I go to app store.

I had gone to this link last night and was mailed the code. The email said to copy code and go to the app store to download the software. However when I click the mountain lion app the only option is to "buy". Is there a special link to redeem? What am I missing. Thxs.

MacPro1,1 not supported by Mountain Lion. I want 10.7 Lion server.

I have a MacPro1,1 not supported by Mountain Lion. How do I now upgrade my Lion machine to 10.7 Lion server? I can no longer find it in the Mac App Store.

You have to call 1-800-MY-APPLE to order Lion. They will send you a code by email your Apple ID is registered to so you can download it from the MAS. More then likely the same goes for Lion server as that is not showing on the MAS either. But you will have to check on the server product when you call.

What is the latest OS and iMac model that would support CS2?

I'm trying to figure out how to go about selecting the "right" iMac to suit my current needs and means. Like many folks (I'm guessing), I don't have the money to upgrade every time a)apple comes out with ANOTHER new generation of iMac/OS b)Adobe comes out with updated versions of their software suites.
What I need to know is:
1) Do the current iMac Intel CPU's (or the newest Mac OS) support software as old as Adobe CS 2?
2) If the current iMac's no longer support my software, what is the most current generation of iMac's to do so?
3) I would like to connect an additional monitor (I have an older 17" apple cinema display) to my iMac. Can anyone suggest iMac models that would accomodate my need?
4) Any suggestions of reputable sellers of older generations of Apple products, new or refurbished? Any sellers that should be avoided?

1) Yes and no. Yes CS2 will run on Intel based Macs but the performance may be a bit slower. The next problem is that Adobe does not fully support CS2 to run in Leopard. It will run but you might come across small glitches once in a while.
2) To avoid the Leopard compatibility issue you would need an ALU iMac from 2007 or earlier that comes with OS X 10.4(Tiger).
3) You would need to purchase two adapters. A mini DVI to DVI connector and the ADC Power adapter for the display which is about $100.

http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4NA
4) I would prefer an Apple certified refurbished iMac but they may not have one old enough for what you want.
If you don't have the money to upgrade everything including your software you might consider purchasing a used G5 tower. That way you can run Tiger and CS2 without any problems and still use your current LCD without having to buy any expensive adapters.

Anyone now why my late 2006 iMac isn't supported for Mountain Lion installation?

My late 2006 iMac was one of the first Intel ones (Core 2 Duo), so does anyone know what about the hardware itself means that Apple don't support it in Mountain Lion?
On the Mountain Lion Tech Spec page it states that Mountain Lion is compatible with the 2007 models onwards. I know they have to stop supporting old devices eventually to be able to progress smoothly but why aren't all Intel iMacs supported?
Just curious really.

Mainly the graphics card, which must be only about 1.5 years old max to support many utilities built into ML.
That and the fact that OSX built to be the bestand fastest at some point cannot use very old hardware and CPUs.

Express 802.11n model A1264 not compatible with Mountain Lion?

I have an airport Express 802.11n model A1264. I have been using it with Mountain Lion for a couple of months. Some problems but it worked. Last nite it stopped. - flashing orange light. I am using Airport Utility version 6.1. The helpful? lady at apple support said that model of Airport Express (Gen 1 ) was not compatable with Mountain Lion and I need to get a Generation 2 Airport Express. Is there any other solution?

Hardware failure is a possibility but your Express is most certainly compatible with your version of Mac OS X.

... I had pushed in the reset button on the AU Express -
To properly reset it to factory defaults requires that you depress its reset button continuously for about five seconds - long enough for the LED to flash rapidly, then release it.
After this the Express will create an open wireless network called "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = a set of characters unique to your Express.
Connect to that network by selecting it in the menu.
Launch AirPort Utility. It should find the Express.
If you are still having trouble unplug the Express and plug in to an electrical outlet near your iMac. Not only does this make it easier to perform another "hard reset" should you need to, it minimizes the potential for wireless interference to prevent communication. There is no need to have it connected to your modem as you configure it.
Only after doing all this should you begin to suspect the Express has simply failed. In that case bring it back to Apple for a final determination.
Don't let them tell you it is not compatible with Mountain Lion because I use the exact same one all the time. Even its preceding model is compatible.
