I download OSX mountain Lion and my mac is very slow.Any idea why?

After downloading mountain lion my mac gets slow...any idea why?

Try this:
Boot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Does this help? If not, then you should reinstall Mountain Lion:

Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

PLEASE HELP!! from snow leopard to mountain lion - install page just sitting there

Hi,
I am updating my macbook from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I downloaded the software from the app store just fine and checked to make sure my macbook is compatible (which it is). But now I am trying to install it on my HD and it wont do anything. I agreed to the terms and conditions and entered my admin passwprd already and nothing's happening. I've done this multiple times, closing out of the mountain lion app and restarting it - going through the process over again and still nothing is happening. No horizontal blue install bar, no reving of the fans making it sound like work is being done - nada. Please help!!!

Hi,
You could try and redownload the Installer.app and try again (move the installer that you have allready downloaded to the desktop first).

My download of Lion refuses to start - it says waiting. any ideas?

i wonder if there is anybody out there which also has a problem with downloading the new Lion? My purchase went thru but now it says just "waiting"... what to do?

I'm having the same problem. I've been waiting for 45 minutes.

HT1632 My ipod seems to be stuck in a "Loop" as my nike+ tries to download, just keeps saying, "downloading" but nothing happens, runs my battery down. What can I do?

My ipod seems to be "stuck" downloading of workout information to Nike+. Ipod keeps saying it is downloading but doesn't complete download, runs my battery down and my computer doesn't now recognize my ipod and I get "error" message (2005). What can I do to fix this problem?

I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

Since I upgraded to mountain lion my mini mac keeps freezing up any ideas on how to fix it?

HELP Please!!!

Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Mountain Lion app not downloading, just sits in the dock 'waiting'.

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I downloaded the mountain lion software from the app store. However, the download just sits in the dock 'waiting' and doesn't download at all. It eventually disapears from my dock and tells me that there has been an error. I have emailed and rang customer support, however, I get passed on to different departments with each staff member saying 'this isn't what our department should be dealing with'. I have been told that it is to do with my internet provider (BT), but when I took the iMac (2010) back to university where I have a different internet provider, it still didn't download! (My iMac has got all the requirements for Mountain Lion).
Any help will be much appreciated as I am really getting no where with customer support.
Thanks!

Why has Mountain Lion created 3 iMessage accounts on download

Does anyone have any idea why Messages is not working since I downloaded Mountain Lion.
I was using a Beta version on Lion with no problem.
Since I have downloaded Mountain Lion, three iMessage Accounts have appeared in my Accounts panel, along with AIM and Bonjour.
Only one iMessage box is ticked, but the other two iMessage accounts I can't delete. I have tried rebooting.
I can send an iMessage but when people tell me they have sent me a reply I don't receive it.
iCloud is working fine in my mail program and I have checked and doubled checked the password several times.
Help pleeeeease.

Barney,
Problem solved. I called Apple Care and was on hold with three different people, but they finally got me to someone who could check my previous Apple IDs. I had downloaded it under a different Apple ID than I'm now using. When Apple changed from me.com to iCloud.com I found the transition very confusing. At that time I changed my apple ID from just a five letter ID to that same five letters with an @me.com after it, [email protected] I had forgotten how that went as the conversion was confusing to me. It wasn't necessary for me to change my Apple ID. Now I have two.
So, I logged in with just the XXXXX and was able to get into my previous Apple account and there were seven apps there listed as purchased, including Mountain Lion.
So, I'm now downloading the Mountain Lion upgrade App on my wife's MBP and it is coming down, slowly. It's going to take an hour or more to download 4.44 GBytes (probably a couple of hours as I remember from the first time I did this).
So, thanks for your trying to help solve this riddle. I've given you a Star that you helped me. Do appreciate your help and sticking with me the past hour or so.
I was impressed with Apple Care. They really tried hard to help me. Almost made the cost to put this MBP under Apple Care worth it (over $300). Sad thing is that I spent over three hours saving $20. Should have just purchased the Mountain Lion upgrade again under my wife's Apple ID. Lesson learned.

<Edited by Host>

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 have an older 13" macbook with snow leopard, I want to upgrade to the newest mountain lion, can i just purchase and instal?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or 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.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Mac OS Mountain Lion wont start

Mac OS Mountain Lion wont start. It's just stuck on white screen with spinning gear, once the white screen goes, I get a kernel panic...I suspect this issue has been caused by the recently installed xcode, it was the last program I installed this morning

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
And, remove XCode. If it's needed then be sure you install the current release version for Mountain Lion.

HT4436 I have a 5 year old Mac Book with OS 10.6.8 and it can not be upgraded to Mountain Lion. I just got an iPad with retina. How do I get an iMovie project onto my iPad?

As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.
Welcome to the Mac family.

OSX Mountain Lion taking a long time to download

I already purchased Mountain Lion and it downloaded fine on my iMac. Now I'm trying to downlad it on my Mac Book Pro and it won't download. It says downloading but it's not moving. Anyone else have this problem?

If you have Mountain Lion downloaded in your iMac, you can copy it to an external drive and install 10.8 in your MacBook Pro
