Mountain Lion - Still Waiting

In trying to upgrade from Lion 10.7.4 to Mountain Lion, I went on the App Store and bought the new OS. A little graphic popped on to the Launchpad and it says waiting next to it. That was THREE DAYS AGO!!!
So far I'm SO UNIMPRESSED with Mountain Lion I could go and get a DELL!!
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions (clean ones) ??
Many thanks,
Stu...

I've tried to reboot the machine, quiting the App Store and so on. When I look at my purchased section on the App Store there's just a grey box with 'an error has occured' in red next to it.
No ammount of resetting, quitting, rebooting, throwing the iMac around the room will get rid of the grey box and I have no options.
APPLE YOU REALLY ARE CRAP THESE DAYS!

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.

Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

Is Lion (not Mountain Lion) still available for upgrading from snow leopard

Is Lion (not mountain lion) still available for download and upgrading from snow leopard?

Lion is no longer available from the Mac App Store. Even the thumb drive version has been withdrawn. It should be possible to get it by calling Apple Phone Sales.

Mountain Lion still @ Mountain

Mountain Lion is still in Mountain . Not able to install , showing remains 57 days and 30 min & hanging at 55.7mb

Mountain Lion forum is here:

Installed Mountain Lion, still getting a notification that an update is available.

Have already installed the Mountain Lion update, but upon initial log in I am still receiving a notification that an update is available the version the update states is available is the version of OSX already installed on the system.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Re-indexing spotlight didn't work, after re-indexing, I shut down, re-started and got the same thing, I took a few pictures to illustrate exactly what is happening:
After logging in I have this icon (with the arrow pointing to it)
It asks to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2
The problem is, I have already upgraded to 1.8.2
It will not go away, even after disabling notifications and re-indexing spotlight - it's like the computer is stuck thinking that the upgrade has not bee applied.

Screensaver installed on Mountain Lion still works with Yosemite but Attempting to install on later MBP it won't work with Mavericks or Yosemite

I installed Porsche's 911 Screensaver on my 2011 MBP when it had Mountain Lion. It still works after upgrades up to Yosemite. I attempted to install the same on my late 2013 MBP Retina (Mavericks and Yosemite) and though it installs, I get the message that the screensaver isn't compatible with this version of OS X. How can a piece of software work on one MBP and not another? The 2011 is 15", quad-core i7 and the 2013 is about as powerful but 13" and all SSD. This is confusing
Thanks for the help

so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy. If not, bring it in for repair.

Why is Mountain Lion in "waiting" mode in my dock?

Why is Mountain Lion icon in "waiting" mode in my dock? Why is it not installing? I'm running a newer iMac with sufficient memory. I'm installing from Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Thanks for the advice. I selected cancel and restarted the process. It says it is downloading however, it disappeared and I chose to start the process again this a.m. I'm not sure whether or not it begins entirely again or carries on from before. It seems like a long, drawn out process, doesn't it? I've noticed the feed is starting so I'll let it run this morning and monitor the process.

Spotlight in Mountain Lion still keeps indexing and slowing everything down

Hi
I am still have issues with the indexing in spotlight and mountain lion. I have tried all sollutions ( I gues not all as it is still not fixed) but i tried to trash the V100 file and reindex again. Now it basically indexes when ever it does not give a time sometimes it indexes for 5 min then again for an hour and it seriously slows down the system

Is Mountain Lion still supported. There haven't been any security updates since the release of Mavericks

I am concerned that Mountain Lion may be no longer supported.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer versions are supported and Apple releases security updates for them.
Rumor has it that support for Snow Leopard may be over.

Mountain lion still shows download

I have mountain lion on my powerbook, but I have noticed when I am in the app store purchases tab it says download (not installed). Shouldn't it be installed (fully)? My other apps say installed (although OSX lion says download as well)

The OS X installers will always so download in the purchases tab to enable us to easily redownload the instaler. Look at About This Mac in the Apple menu to verify the version of OS X installed.

Mountain Lion still available from App store?

Hi. I purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store sometime last year, but for some reason that I can't remember, didn't install it. It might have been because I read somewhere that although it was a little quicker than Lion, it was also less secure.
Anyway, Mavericks was introduced and I downloaded that instead.
By some reckoning, my MacBook is a bit light on in memory (2GB) for Maverick to function at its best. Some time after installing Maverick, I tried to download Mountain Lion from the App Store but it wouldn't let me. Is there any way I can get the OS which, after all, I have paid for?
Thanks.

I'm using Mavericks. There are some things I like about Mavericks, but there has been a distinct performance drop since installing it on both my iMac and laptop. I don't like the new Pages and the latest Yosemite-compatible version of Pages seems to bring no improvements in word-processing matters and, if anything, looks even worse (I installed Yosemite just to see if the new Pages was worth having, since I use Pages a lot for my dissertation and other things).
So, I don't need Yosemite for the new Pages, and am going back at least to Mavericks but preferably to Mountain Lion. Lion was my favorite upgrade, but Mountain Lion, which I purchased but didn't download, I haven't tried.
It downloads onto my Macbook, but when I try to install it I get messages indicating the version is too new or simply that I can't install onto this computer. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact message. I will try to install it again by other means and let you all know how it goes.
Thanks all for your responses so far.

1 day after purchase, Mountain Lion still doesn't download.

Do I just wait now till it works ? I'm obviously not the only one with this problem. Is Apple working on this ? What do I do now ?

I am having the same problem.
HELP US APPLE AND URGENT!
THE MONEY IS IN YOUR BAG AND THE SOFTWARE IS NOT IN OUR COMPUTER.
My computer is the new Macbook Pro with all updated!
