Mac App Store upgrading to Mountion Lion on two computers

Is there a way to install Mountain Lion (purchased from the Mac App Store) on two computers without having to download it twice? Can it be downloaded on one computer, and then not automatically installed, as most apps are? And then the installer copied to the second computer?

This program will make a bootable DVD/USB Flash Drive and the program is free.

Getting Error Code 13 with Mac App Store on OS X Lion

Hey all,
I just updated my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion. Now whenever I go into Mac App Store, I can log into my Apple ID but cannot redownload any of my previous purchases.
I continue to get the error 13 for any of my downloads. I've tried rebooting my Mac, logging out and back into my Apple ID on the Mac App Store.
Nothing works. Any idea?

I figured it out.
I signed up for another Apple ID account within the Mac Apple Store. After completing the validation, I logged into the new account then logged out.
Closed down the Mac App Store and relaunched it. Then I logged in using my original Apple ID with all my purchases linked to it.
I'm now available to download items fine without error. I hope this helps others with the same issue.

     *reinstalled the 10.7.1 update (the error actually happened on 10.7.0 before I updated to 10.7.1)
     *shouted at the Mac (sorry for that)
     *booted in Safe Mode - tried the same things there
     *unmounted Boot camp
     *deleted all cache, property and cookie files
     *unpacked the 10.6.6 combo package and used the commerce framework from there, and the App Store too
     *pulled my hair
     *and so on...
Nothing helped!
PLEASE tell me how can I start the Mac App Store again!!?
Thank you!!

Since you have Lion installed, use Lion Recovery

Mac App store broken after restoring Lion

Here is what I did:
I deleted all the data on my harddrive, and reinstalled lion using built-in internet recovery.
The problem:
The Mac app store is extremely slowly - to the point of non-responsive.
It won't let me install any of my applications. Clicking on the "install" button next to an item in the "purchased" section does nothing.
I have already confirmed by billing information.
There are no error messages. It just doesn't respond. It takes ages for any screen to load. It doens't make much sense - my internet connection works fine, as I can browse websites in safari without any problem.
What do I need to do to fix this? Right now there is no other software installed except the default that Lion installs.
Thanks.
EDIT: iTunes seems messed up too. When I click on "purchased" in the apps section, all I get is a blank white screen.

Mac App store running slow in lion

Since I install Lion (clean install) on my Mac Pro 2009 the Mac App Store in very slow and each time I click on an item I see the beachball. Everything aside the App Store is running fast and smooth. Anyone with the same problem ???
Thanks !
Olivier

I'm guessing it's because the MAS has been seeing increased traffic since Lion came out. I'd imagine that tens of thousands of people downloading it every hour is putting a strain on the system. I myself am seeing the same problem.
If the problem persists for you, contact Apple Technical Support.

Mac App Store problems, OS X Lion

I've been trying to download a game (GTA: San Andreas) from the Mac App Store all day today. My MacBook is a mid 2009 model, with a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard disk, with 140GB free. My home broadband connection is 50MB. I bought the game this morning, the store accepted my payment, and the download started immediately. Since then I've found myself in App Store ****. Every so often the download stops. The time remaining increases up to ridiculous heights (129 days remaining), and then drops to "less than one minute remaining", where it gets stuck forever. The game is 4.19GB in size, so I have more than enough hard disk space remaining to download it, but whatever happens, the download stalls, and never starts again.
So far, I've tried:
Connecting the computer to wired Ethernet
Restarting the computer
Checking if I had enough free space, and checking that my hard disk passed a SMART test using SMART Utility
Removing the game from Launchpad (by holding Option and clicking the 'x' that appears, to delete the already half downloaded data
Throwing away the App Store .plist files
Enabling the App Store debug menu, and using it to navigate to the temporary downloads folder, and throwing away the half downloaded data, and all the plists found in there
Clearing cookies and cache within App Store.app
Resetting App Store.app using the Debug menu
I know my network connection is ok, as I've been downloading files bigger than this in Safari and Chrome today, and they have all completed successfully. I even tried bringing my MacBook to someone else's house, and attempting the download there, but it failed again, exactly as described as above. Does anyone else have problems like this, and if so, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Padgeman

Mac App Store Upgrade advantages vs Download from Apple Web ?

Since latest OSX versions the upgrades are checked in App Store and the download of the upgrade follows in App Store.
I have checked with latest OS upgrade (10.8.1 and 10.8.2) and also now with Aperture 3.4.1 that the download time inside App Store is twice longer compared with a direct download from Apple. More interesting is that the download gives me a file that I can use to upgrade not only my iMac but also my Mac Book Pro.
The upgrade notification in App Store reached my Mac while the related file is not to befound in the italian Apple site but if I change to us I immediately find the file.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Yes, OS X updates from the Apple Downloads page will work. If your version of Aperture is from the MAS, the update from the MAS should not be able to update it, that is for the previously sold boxed software.

Question about upgrading to Mountain Lion on two computers with two different users

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro, and I intend to get the Mountain Lion upgrade. Someone else in my household has an aluminium iMac running Snow Leopard, so I was wondering how to upgrade that computer as well, considering that it has a different user with a separate Apple ID.
Can I open App Store and log in with my own ID temporarily to download the update? Or can I save the bandwidth and login-switching and burn an extracted installation disk image to a DVD and put that DVD into the iMac to upgrade from 10.6 to 10.8?

Yes you should be able to upgrade all the Macs you control in your home (including children at college) from one downloaded copy of Mountain Lion. Just make sure you make a copy of the installer before attempting to install it on the first system, as the install process deletes the installer when finished, so you want that copy before the install starts or you need to download it again.
You can make an installer DVD, or you can copy the installer to the other Mac(s).
Also large capacity USB thumb drives are dirt cheap theses days (assuming you do some on-line shopping <http://dealmac.com>). DVD is fine as well.

OS Updates Never Appear in Mac App Store

I'm running OS X v.10.8.2, and have noticed that OS updates have never appeared in the Mac App Store since installing Mountain Lion in the fall of 2012. No error messages have ever appeared. I'm sure that there have been security updates issued, as well as updates to iTunes and Safari since then. The store does notify me of updates to specific apps that I have downloaded from the store, such as Pages and Numbers. I've tried (1) clearing the Mac App Store cache, and (2) fixing my disc permissions. Neither of these has caused any OS updates to appear. The Settings pane for Software Update (System Preferences) reports that the last update request occured in October of 2012. Numerous requests have been attempted since then.
Any suggestions for fixing this?

Just reporting back to say that installing 10.8.4 did not solve the problem. I've also tried bypassing my wireless LAN, a potential fix for this problem suggested by others. That didn't help either! Maybe I will simply make do with periodic manual updates.

What is relationship between Mac app store and Yosemite?

I have decided to update from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I have a cryptic little message from Apple saying I need to download the Mac App Store first. But when I click on that link I get something called Yosemite. Is that the same thing as the app store? Do I have to get it? Do I want it? Thanks for any advice and help.

The topmost part of the opening page at the Mac App store is filled with a HUGE Ad for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, the current version of Mac OS X.
You can use the Icons across the top of the Mac App Store screen to navigate around the site and see if what you want is available.
EDIT: It turns out Mountain Lion is no longer available for DIRECT download. To buy it, you will need to buy a redemption code at the Apple Online Store (NOT the Mac App Store) for US$20. This coupon will be sent to you by email, typically in 1 to 3 days, but requires human intervention to send it, so nights, weekends, and holidays do not count.
You will receive the coupon code and instructions by email. You then follow the instructions to redeem your coupon at the Mac App Store and download Mountain Lion. If you wish to proceed on these terms, this is the purchase link:

Translation mistake in german Mac App Store

There is a translation mistake into the german language in the Mac App Store by downloading Mountain Lion again.

I am using Leopard but need Mountain Lion for the Mac App Store. How do I get Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple. How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Upgrading to 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.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:

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.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
