Mountain Lion downloaded fine, but computer wouldn't restart?

The computer told me why, or what the error was but I don't recall what it was... any help?  Something w/ security it seems?
How can I figure it out?!
Thanks,

Like this......
......but with an apple logo? That's the Lion login background, question is why your details don't appear also.
Here you go found a better one.

  • Mountain Lion download begins but stops after 10.4 mb.

    I own a I Mac desktop purchased in late fall of 2009.  Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion(and was charged for the program) and have been attempting to download it since.  It starts out fine until it reaches 10.4 mb and then restarts again.  It does that for 5 consecutive times and then leaves the messages "unable to download, check your internet connection."  I spoke yesterday with Apple support and also had a tech person go over everything on my desktop to make sure it is compatible and running properly.  I am runing Snow Leopard now and have never had a problem with downloads.  ALSO, I can download any other app and it works perfectly.  I also contacted my internet provider, thinking there may be a problem downloading a program of that size, and he said there are now problems on that end either.  The Apple support person did say that a new update was just released for Mountain Lion, but that was the only thing that he could come up with.  Any suggestions?

    Have you tried installing in Safe Mode ?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)

    I have paid for it and all...

    You can't do anything. See:

    Your computer does not meet the requirements to run Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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

  • I tried to update my OS (Mountain lion) to mavericks, but i can't seem to download. There's a 'an error has occurred' in red beside the free upgrade bar.. what should i do?

    I tried to update my OS (Mountain lion) to mavericks, but i can't seem to download. There's a 'an error has occurred' in red beside the free upgrade bar.. what should i do?

    It's possible something has become corrupted in your AppStore cache folder. I had the same problem that occurred after I did a partial download, paused it, and attempted to restart it again later. Here's how I fixed my problem:
    Enable AppStore Debug menu:
    1. Quit AppStore completely.
    2. Run Terminal and enter the following on the command line: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    3. Restart the AppStore. You should see a new menu called "Debug".
    Clear the download cache:
    4. In AppStore, select Debug menu / Show Download Folder
    5. Quit AppStore completely, but leave download folder open
    6. In the download folder, select all files/folders, then delete them.
    7. Restart AppStore. You may need to sign in to your Apple account again.
    You may need to restart your computer to be able to delete the files from the trash.
    You can then try the download again.

    If you registered your computer after June 11th, you were entitled to a free upgrade to Mountain Lion. See http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/.
    If you went ahead an purchased ML before recieving your redemption code then you're just out $20. Not a big deal - you should have been instructed on how to get a redemption code for the OS X update.

  • I am running mountain lion 10.8 but my computer won't accept updates

    as mentioned i am running mountain lion 10.8 but my computer wont accept updates to 10.8.1 or 10.8.2 there are yellow marks over the hard drive when i try to install/open the DMG.
    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO CORRECT?

    Open About This Mac from the Apple menu and check if you aren't alreay running 10.8.2. Otherwise, you are running a beta version.

  • I paid for mountain lion $19.9 but do not have it downloaded on my mac yet

    i paid for mountain lion $19.9 but do not have it downloaded on my mac yet

    In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
    If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software.

  • Why isn't mountain lion downloading? It shows up in Launch Pad and says it's downloading but nothing happens.

    Why isn't Mountain Lion downloading? It shows up in Launch Pad and says it's downloading but nothng happens.

    Depending on your connection speed, it could take anywhere from 1-8 hours to download.  It's a 4GB download.
    On the average 3Mbps home network connection, it will take 3-4 hours to download.

  • HT203421 Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my MAc but not on my ipad or iPhone

    Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my Mac but not on my ipad or iPhone

    OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer.  I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account.  I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic.  It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account.  It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right.  I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING.  The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com).  Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way.  Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved.  I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
    Here are the steps I used:
    1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
    2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
    3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
    4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save).  The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
    5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone.  Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone.  Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
    Everything is syncing great!  Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next.  I'm hopeful!!

  • Since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slowly. Its slow to open and slow to download

    Hi since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slow

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • 4 GB Mountain Lion Download quits @ 425 MB. 1.6 GB FCP X downloads OK!

    That's it really!
    If a 4 GB Mountain Lion Download from the App Store repeatedly quits at 425 MB but a 1.6 GB FCP X download from the App Store works perfectly, it surely must be a fault with the App Store - but if anyone knows a way to contact Apple and report this, they're doing better than I am.
    Andy

    Well, I managed to contact Apple on this matter.
    The problem turned out to be my BT (British Telecom) 2Wire 2700 HGV Router.
    I bought a new router online, and Mountain Lion downloaded perfectly.
    Goodness only knows why Final Cut Pro X downloaded fine, but Mountain Lion repeatedly stalled at 425 MB - but that's computer equipment for you!

  • HT1338 Mountain Lion download problems

    Tried to get Mountain Lion download/install on my computer.  Got message "An error has occured" so can't download.  Computer is up to date with plenty of space.

    Went to Genius Bar.  Solved my problem but I'm not sure how helpful.  He ran some diagnostics (hardware diagnostic progeam; Mac Disk Utility for Hard Drive Verication and repair.  Don't think he found much wrong.  Then, he went for download on their connection, which worked just fine.  He explained it was because of the extremely fast download connection.  So, I guess you have to get your Mac to somewhere with a super-fast connection (Apple store, but also our local libraries have a very fast connection) for download.
    That's all for this problem, as far as I can tell.  Over and out.

  • Slow internet after mountain lion download

    web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

    I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service.  At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine.  I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed?  Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet.  This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion.  Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

  • How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

    I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?
    Judy

    Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.
