Mountain Lion has been purchased, but won't download

I have purchased a copy of Mtn Lion, but can't get it to start downloading from the app store. It shows up in the "purchased" category. When I try to download it, all I get is the windmill like icon in the top left of the window by the arrows. If I switch categories, it stops, and it's like I was never downloading it in the first place. Any suggestions about how to get past this point?

Try to download from iTunes.  Restart your MacBook Pro and try again. Make sure your updated.

  • Now that OSX Mountain Lion has been released, can I still buy OSX Lion to update my 2009 Mac?

    I have a 2009 MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard with the latest update.  I wanted to upgrade to the new Mountain Lion but I got the message that my system couldn't run it.  So now I'm wondering if I can upgrade to the Lion 10.7 OS but I can't find it anywhere in the iTunes store or the Apple online store.  Plenty of places to download the 10.7.x upgrades but not the OS.  So, is it no longer available now that Mountain Lion has been released?  Or do I have to visit a store to buy the disk?

    You have to Call Apple, 1-800-My-Apple, and order it over the phone. Apple will then send you a email with a Code in it to download it from the MAS.

  • Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

    Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

    I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
    I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

  • OS X Mountain Lion has been updating for 2 days

    Hi, i purchased the update two days ago, after downloading and installing, my macbook pro needed to restart, as expected. although, my computer is still not updated, it still displays the blue screen with the little wheel of death. Is it normal for this update to take more than 2 days? if not how to i stop it and restart it?

    A new version of Mountain Lion 10.8.4 has just been released.  Maybe the MAS servers were down for the changes to be made.  I would turn off the computer by holding down the power button for several seconds and then restart it. Check the version you have installed, by going to"About this Mac"
    If it says 10.8.3, go to Software Update and get the point release.  If it is still Snow Leopard, go to the Purchases tab and download the full installer again.

  • Song has been purchased but can't be downloaded.

    I recently bought a new album (TALKING IS HARD by WALK THE MOON) and all but one of the songs has downloaded to my computer. The song in question (Sidekick), shows up in the iTunes Store as "Purchased" but does not give me the option to download it. Any solutions?

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes download it, or does it show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for downloading ?

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

  • Creative Cloud app has been purchased, but will not activate

    I was using the trial version of Photoshop CC. My trial period expired, so I purchased a month subscription. This lead me to the download page. Hitting the download buton just brings up Creative Cloud. When I try to open Photoshop CC it still says my trial period is over. There is a button to license this software, but it asks for a serial number. I have no numbers. I have not even received a confirmation email. But the download page still says, "
    Thank you!Your payment was processed. You can now download Photoshop by clicking the "Download" button."
    Any ideas?

    When you have the Creative Cloud app open click on the gear icon and from the context menu choose Preferences.
    With the Preferences dialog open click on the General tab and then choose Account. Click the Sign Out from Creative Cloud button.

  • Bash patch for Mountain Lion has been posted

    Apple has just issued a patch for the Bash vulnerability and after installing it, it passes the three tests currently available. It hasn't yet turned up in Software Update but it's available from Apple Support.

    It's over 4 GB, so depending on your network connection may take a while.
    If you've gone over quota on your connection and your ISP has throttled you it will take even longer of course. Hopefully you're not using a connection where you pay by the MB!

  • HT1338 OS X Mountain Lion has been he most disastrous thing that has ever happened to Apple

    I keep thinking that the updates will umprove all the problems but this ast update affected my calendar.  I can no lnger imput an event and edit it into the proper calendar - is anyone else having this problem?  No can I any longer sync mp phone mail, contacts and calendar without it wiping them ot on weither my phone or my computer and calendar ill ony show up for the curren wee and surounding 3 weeks, all my years are gone, all y fture appointments are gone. Help?

    That's a bit of a run-on sentence, but:
    1)  You can also edit an event by selecting it and hitting "command-E" to edit it.
    2)  In Calendar preferences, there is a setting for default calendar.  Set it to the calendar you want events to be created in by default.
    Open Calendar's help file for some more tricks:
    Click Add at the top of Calendar.
    Events are added to your default calendar.
    To add the event to a different calendar, click and hold Add (+), and then choose a calendar.
    To change your default calendar, choose Calendar > Preferences, click General, and then choose a calendar from the Default Calendar pop-up menu.If you set your default calendar to be the selected calendar, then whichever calendar is highlighted in the Calendar list is the default calendar.
    You may wish to show the calendars in the sidebar by default if you want to regularly create events in a bunch of different calendars.

    Cancel your storage upgrade
    If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
    Note:  Partial refunds are available where required by law.

    Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
    If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
    However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.
