Reinstalling OSX mountain lion

My computer is acting strangely and stops all the time to work - I can hear lots of little hard drive sounds and it is very slow until it is done (usually about 10 minutes), and my Adobe CS products are crashing and creating corrupt files that keep stopping.
I tried to reinstall the system today - I couldn't use the installer that came with the computer because I have installed Mountain Lion since.
I tried installing from the 'Install OSX Mountain Lion.app" file, and it went through the motions and said it was installing, but now it appears to be exactly the same - normally I would get the welcome screen and have to configure things. It did not give me an option to do a clean install.
How can I do a new installation to get rid of the existing problems on this computer? It is only a year old (iMac i7) and has 8 gb of RAM so it shouldn't be so slow. My laptop is the same and is much faster.
thanks for any help.

I couldn't use the installer that came with the computer because I have installed Mountain Lion since.
FWIW (and future reference), you should be able to install the original system (if it was Lion):
If you use internet recovery (Command + Option + R), then the original OS version will be reinstalled after you wipe the drive.
If you use recovery (Command + R) the current OS version will be reinstalled.
If the originally installed OS version same with install disks (Snow Leopard or earlier), you can boot from that disk; however, in order to revert, you will need to wipe the drive first.
And, since you want to get rid of "existing problems", starting over with a clean install is best. You do not know if your problems are only caused by the OS or possibly some incompatibility of third party software which would not be fixed if you simply reinstall the OS over the top of what you have.

Download of update to OSX Mountain Lion

I was updating to OSX Mountain Lion, used my computer for something else and the download got interrupted.
How do I resume the download?

That is a point many users miss...even Apple has limited bandwidth when it comes time to release a major operating system and millions of users want to download at the same time...during the first two weeks one should expect delays and long, long download times.
It is getting to the point that suggesting downloading during "off hours" isn't even good advice...world-wide there is no such thing as an off hours time segment
I have a very fast f9ber optic carrier and download took around thirty minutes...another good reason to tell people to make a copy of the installer before doing the installation so you do not need to download again.

I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8. I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store

I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8. I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store & after about 40 minutes of "downloading" (started 40 or so minutes ago) my iMac restarted & I signed in. But OSX 10.6.8 is still there & the image of OSX Mountain Lion is in my dock with the caption "OSX Mountain Lion -- Paused" !!! ...Now ANOTHER 20 minutes have passed & no change nor other prompts nor info have come up!! WHAT'S GOING ON??? PLEASE HELP!!! ~~~THANK YOU!!!

THANKS SO VERY MUCH, mende1, for so quickly responding to my plea for HELP!!
I had never turned my iMac off so I still don't understand why the download paused, & when I looked in my Applications folder there was no Mountain Lion, but your words, "However, you can pause and resume the download as many times as you want" encouraged me to look deeper & try harder!! I clicked & double-clicked (& multi-clicked!) the Mtn Lion icon in my dock to no avail but finally, I clicked & HELD the click for about 7 seconds . . . . . . . & then a little pop-up came & asked me if I want to "Resume the download" or stop it!! So I slid the cursor over to "Resume..." & it's downloading again!! ~~I HOPE!! I guess 4.4 GB of OS update will take more than a little time to get in there!
~~~Again, THANK YOU so MUCH & God less you with a WONDERFUL time with your studies & future dreams!!!

Restore OSX Mountain Lion on Used Mac Mini

Hi all,
I just purchased a Mac Mini from someone on Craigslist. It's the late 2012 model (Core i7, OSX Mountain Lion)... The problem is, the person I bought it from upgraded it to OSX Mavericks. I use Pro Tools 10 which doesn't work on Mavericks. So I need to restore the Mac Mini back to Mountain Lion, which came on it originally.
Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to actually purchase Mountain Lion from Apple and wait several days for them to email me the download link?

You need to do this:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

OSX Mountain Lion Up-to-date claim validation mail not yet received

I live in India. I bought an iMac from a Apple Reseller on 23rd June 2012 which qualifies me for the free upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion. I filled out the form, entered all the details correctly (though in the last step Apple didn't give an option to select country as India, but I filled the form anyways) and was given a Claim Reference Number.
It's 2nd day today and I haven't received any email regarding the redemption code. What's going on?

Oh well well.. just 30 minutes after I posted the above question, I got the validation email. Now let's see if the code actually works.

OSX Mountain Lion sluggins and freezes

Just installed OSX Mountain Lion
worst release Apple ever made
it's like being underwater- or my old Mac Classic and dialup
everything is sluggish and freezes happen frequently
thought this would be great to synch with iPhone, etc....
would like to hear from others
thanks-
kent

Well I can only say it works great on my two machines, 2007 iMac and 2010 MacBook Pro and these have 4Gb of Ram. Does not you help you but I can only say how it works for me.
Have you run Activity Monitor and checked if any processes are using lots of CPU/Mem etc. Also anything in the Console Logs. Something is slowing it down, bad install or third party software etc.
If you have just installed a few minutes ago, Spotlight as to index the disk and this can take a while, it will run slow while this is occuring but will sort itself out, it will indicate if it is spotlight if you try to use it.

Mail problems since latest OSX mountain lion update

Since I updated to the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion my Macbook Pro is very slow starting (up to 2 minutes) and my mail program is always stucking (colour-ball turning) so that I have to shut down and restart.
Does anybody have a solution for these problems?
Thanks!

So it's a new 2012 non-Retina model... there are a couple of things that you might want to try - even with only 4GB of RAM (and I truly feel that 8GB is the 'sweet spot' for any modern MBP) you should be having slow startup or Mail beachballs.
First, let's boot into Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys during startup. At the bottom of the window, you'll want to open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left pane and verify and then repair permissions. Some won't be 'fixed' but that's OK. Then with the hard drive still selected, verify your hard drive. If any errors pop up, go ahead and repair the hard drive.
If neither of these things fix the problem, you might want to redownload and reinstall 10.8.2, using the 'combo' updater found here. Also make certain that you install (or reinstall) the 10.8.2 supplemental update - here.
And if that doesn't work, we'll just have to dig a little deeper.

Possible OSX Mountain Lion issue

I just installed OSX Mountain Lion two days ago. Today, it took my Macbook 10 minutes to boot up. Anyone else seen this?
paige

Is this a constant issue when you turn your machine on or is it totally random?
Your profile shows you have a MacBook. Click on the Apple Logo on the top left corner of your screen and go to "About This Mac" What are the specs (processor and memory) you see there?
Click on "More Info" and go to the "Storage" tab at the top. How much free space do you have?
All in all it comes down to 1.) How much RAM or memory you have installed and 2.) If you have enough free space on your hard drive for the machine to run properly.
Once your device turns on try opening up Activity Monitor. You can Spot Light search this or get it from your utility folder in Applications. Sort the CPU % and see what is taking up the most of your CPU at the start.

Mac OSX Mountain Lion crashes randomly.

I've made a clean install of Mac OSX Mountain Lion in my 15" Macbook Pro late 2009 laptop. I kept reciving these intermittent lock ups and then the Macbook pro reboots (while thankfully saving whatever it needed to save before it reboots) by itself with a message saying that the macbook pro had a problem and had to restart automatically. Did any of you have the same problem? and if so do you have a solution to fix it?

I am having the same issue with my late 2010 model macbook pro 15 inch. When the computer restarts, the Problem Report for OS X screen comes up with the following in the Details section (third time this has happened in the last 3 hours or so, any help would be great:

App store wont let me buy OSX Mountain Lion

My MBP is from 2011 and fully capable of runnung osx mountain lion however when i sign into the app atore to buy it i get a pop up saying that the file damaged or invalid. Ive callled apple tech and currently im reinstalling osx lion in hopes it will fix this problem, if not, has anyone else run into this problem or suggestions on what else i could do to fix it?

Many have, the demand right now is so high, there are many incompleted downloads. Wait till the dust settles. And make sure you are prepared:

Tried to reinstall OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and every time i start with the installation i get a requested time out message, had to shut down my MacBook Pro retina. Now when i start up it automatically start internet recovery

tried to reinstall OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and every time i start with the installation i get a requested time out message, had to shut down my MacBook Pro retina. Now when i start up it automatically start internet recovery for two ouers. After the internet recovery the same problem with reinstalling OSX message

Gave up on the GUI. This script derived from http://blog.netnerds.net/2012/07/os-x-how-to-setup-nat-on-lion-and-mountain-lion / seems to work for me:
gwdev=en0 # This is my WiFi connection (has Internet connection)
targetdev=en1 # This is the USB to Ethernet adapter (to give Internet connection)
/sbin/ifconfig $targetdev down
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 create
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 up
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 addm $gwdev
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 $HOST_ADDR
/sbin/route add default -interface bridge0 -ifscope bridge0 -cloning
/usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
/sbin/ipfw add 100 divert natd ip from any to any via $gwdev
/usr/sbin/natd -interface $gwdev -use_sockets -same_ports -unregistered_only -dynamic -clamp_mss -enable_natportmap -natportmap_interface $targetdev

How do i connect my AOC Monitor (N19WB) to work on my MacBook Pro 13 (OSX Mountain Lion) it wont recognise it.

Have Apple Mac put something in their computers to stop me connecting my AOC N19WB monitor to my Mac Book? (Thats silly of course not!) because their own monitors are on average around £ 800.00 each and people like me have to save a long time just to buy the MacBook and cant afford a Mac monotor as well (not for a long time anyway). Please Apple i only bought this brand new Mac Book 13 (OSX Mountain Lion) because i want to run Logic 9 without problems. If i cant even get it to work with my monitor it doesnt instill me with confidence.
Anyway guys, I have bought the right lead followed all the instructions but when i get to 'dispay' via preferences i dont see the same window that i am looking at on a range of forums and/or utube demonstrations. My window shows 2 options - 'Colour and 'Display'. All others that i have seen in addition show 'Arrangements'. Which i guess is the one that gives you the options as to which extenal monitor you wish to use. Other people have said that you just plug it in and the MacBook finds it for you (not on this machine)! Monitor just displays 'NO SIGNAL' and MaBook 'NO DEVICE DETECTED'.
Please is there any advise out there for me?
Yours Desperately

Hi, your post has been more helpful to me than Telstra's tech. support.
I have installed the generic manager and my 885 modem is now recognised and it appears to connect however there are no ip addresses listed under network preferences. You mention a driver. Is this something else I need to install? Do you have a link? Do I need to manually enter network settings? I should add that I am using Lion 10.7.3 Many thanks for your time

HT1338 I just installed OSX snow leapord and just want to be able to use icloud. I up--graded my old macbook to 2 gigs and still can't get it to download icloud . would go to osx mountain lion but can't do that either. What do I have to do???

I want to use icloud to sync w/my new apple tv. bought osx snow leopard and installed it plus upgraded to 2 gigs memory for my
old (2007) macbook. still won't work. I need to get to at least osx 10.7.4 or to osx mountain lion. Tried everything and can't get there.
I'm not a computer whiz...quite a novice. so, if you can help; please speak in layman language....ha   Thanks

iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later.
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.
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.

For some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?

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.
