Mac OS X Mountain Lion doesn't download.

Anyone have this problem? I tried 3 times to download this and got the same error.... I also restarted the computer but this happened. Each time i tried to download the download would take a day or so. Suggestions? Thanks a bunch.

How much space is left on your hard drive. You must have at least 16-20 GBs of free space available on the drive for it to download and then do the install. If you don't have that much then that could be the reason.
Have you Googled Mac Error 403? I just did and nothing pops up on just the MAS.
Could be Apple is having some problems with there servers. Let it sit for a while and try again later. If you stilll get that error then try restarting the system. If you still get it then you will need to call the Apple Mac app store.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion unavailable for download in Nigeria Apple Store.

My Apple ID is logged into Nigeria Apple Store but Apple says MAC OS X Mountain Lion is unavailable for download.....please advise.

Thanks for the interest Dah*veed, much appreciated. However, as you rightly mentioned, I'd successfully purchased the Mt Lion from Nigeria MAS but paused the download due to low speed. I'm currently in Europe hoping to resume download, ONLY to get the error "...... Mt Lion not available in Nigeria MAS". I tried to get the download going without any luck. Kindly let me know what other options are there, if any. Thank you.

Mac os x mountain lion doesn't respond at login screen

Has anyone had this problem? When you start the imac you hear the tri tone, then up comes the login screen. I try to type my login password, but its like the keyboard is unplugged. Nothing happens. No keys or the mouse work. I cannot login.
Please help.
Thanks!

Assuming it is not a keyboard issue...
Try to safe boot by holding down the "shift" key after you turn the computer and keep it held until you see an apple logo, spinning gear and progress bar. Using safe boot will take longer than a regular boot.
Then navigate to /Library/Prefrences/ and remove the com.apple.loginwindow.plist and lockfile. For good measure you can remove the com.apple.loginwindow.plist from the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder as well. Then restart the computer. If neither of those work, go back into safe boot and enable automatic logon in the Users & Groups.

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 then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

Unable to Install Flash on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I have attempted several times to install Flash Player (11.7.700.225) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), and every time I attempt to install it hangs on 20% during installation. I have ensured that there is no flash player installed on the Mac currently, and I have also deleted the original Flash download and re-downloaded a couple of times. I also attempted the troubleshooting solution (#7) found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#main-pa rs_header_0. However, this leads me nowhere because as you can see, my resources folder doesn't contain a .pkg file, nor do any of the other folders in the Contents folder (at least from what I can see). Do you have any other solutions for this problem? Cheers.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

I bought and was downloading Mountain Lion but the download stalled. What do I do?

What do you see in the Mac App Store > Purchases section? The dl could just be paused, in which case you can resume it and carry on.
If it doesn't list it there then search your Mac for the installer incase it finished in the background and didn't start the installer automatically.
Finally, if you don't see it anywhere and you're sure it hasn't finished and actually updated without you realising it, you can email Apple's iTunes support team and they can either put it back in your download queue to try again or regrant you the download so you can 'buy' it again without having to pay.

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.

Pre-installed Mountain Lion ; How to download ML from Appstore for free

Hi,
I've just purchased a macbookair that came with Mountain Lion 10.8.0. I wanted to download ML from appstore to make a bootable USB key for a future clean install, or just in case of trouble. But there is no mention for me to have it for free in the appstore, i have only the message that it is already installed on my computer.
The only apps that appears bought are "ilife" which i guess i will be able to download. Why Mountain Lion doesn't appears as a bought app ??
Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for your reply. It's very precise and helpfull. I guess i have to learn a little more about that Internet Recovery.
From what i understand, in case of trouble, i have no free way to boot from an usb key to repare my disk but there are already in my mac tools to repare a disk in trouble. Internet recovery allows me to download again my system if there is a big issue.
I've had a lot of macs since more than 20 years but it's the first time that one came without an installation disk.
I guess, it can be a good thing, but it's always safer to have a physical and without internet way of re-install a faulty system. It's a little strange not beeing able to download a thing you already have, installed on your computer.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion Boot Drive Issues

Dear Apple Users,
This is my first post here on the Apple Support Communities, so kindly forgive me if I'm repeating a previously asked question.
I'd like to create a Mac OS X Mountain Lion USB Boot Drive and of course I already have it installed on my MBP.
My question is whether I need to buy the App from the App Store if I already have it installed on my MBP[in order to create the USB Boot Drive, I need .dmg ]? On App Store, price tag is still appearing, that's why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance for all your help

If you purchased OS X Mountain Lion to upgrade your computer, open App Store > Purchases, and download OS X Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, use Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable Mountain Lion drive > http://liondiskmaker.com
If your Mac came with OS X Mountain Lion, you may not be able to make a bootable Mountain Lion drive until Apple launches a OS X update. That's because your Mac may be using a special OS X version that you can't get from the App Store, so you can only download it starting in OS X Recovery, and you won't be able to create an external drive with Mountain Lion

Open dialog crashing in Photoshop Elements 11 (Mac OS X Mountain Lion)

I downloaded the trial for Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac. I'm using Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4).
In the File > Open dialog, if I touch either of the two pop-up menus at the bottom of the dialog, Photoshop Elements crashes. This is 100% consistent and reproducible.
This means I'm having a bit of trouble getting started at all. Mac users (10.8.4), can you confirm / deny this issue? Thx.
Oh, by the way, exactly the same thing happens with the pop-up menu in the Save dialog. So if I want to set the image format to save in, I crash.

Fixed the crash! Unfortunately I'm a bit hazy on the details. The key move was telling TinkerTool to revert to all defaults. But as to exactly which setting was triggering the issue, I'm not sure. I've restored a lot of my TinkerTool settings and the crash has not returned. So clearly I have not yet hit on the crucial one.
The key observation here was that the crash was not occurring in a new clean user account. So evidently there was something about my primary user account that was essential to the crash. That started me on a long slow process of testing...

Acrobat 9 fails to recognize (scanner) Epson Artisan 730 after Mac Pro and Mountain Lion Upgrade

I had no problems scanning from the Epson Artisan 730 all in one until I upgraded my Powermac G5 to a mid-2010 Mac Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8. The printer is installed with most recent drivers from Epson (the install disk will not work on 10.8 anyway). I can scan directly from the Print and Scan system preference under the scan tab of the printer and it prints fine from Acrobat. When I go to Document -> Scan to PDF, it brings up a dialog box in which the first input is box is Scanner: "Please select a device" with up and down arrows on the right. When I click on the up and down arrows, there are no selection options other that "Please select a device" with a check mark next to it. This printer is wireless, as is another Canon which also has a scanner and neither appear as available. Very frustrating. I have repeated the instalation process (for the Epson downloaded driver utilities) and it just is not seen.
If anyone has any workarounds or solutions, I would be grateful.

Of course now I have a red badge on the App Store that is asking me to update the Epson driver. I wonder if that will blow out the TWAIN driver. It's epson14333.dmg.
No. Your TWAIN drivers are separate than the Image Capture Device drivers that would be installed by the printer driver update.
Also, no way of getting rid of the badge notification in system preferences. App store is not listed.
There is no law that you must update software just because it is available. There is no way to get rid of the red badge, but you don't have to do the upgrade.
