OSX Mountain lion update
I am trying to download OSX mountain lion. I currently have Snow leopard 10.6.8. It is asking to choose an app. What do I choose?
Open App Store and sign in with your Apple ID and password. Search for "mountain lion." Click on the Mountain Lion option then click on the purchase amount button to start the process.

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.

HT5568 osx mountain lion update
i have a question regarding the update of osx mountain lion, when i click on the update icon, this message appears "The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3001.)(102)"
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.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.

My OSX Mountain LIon is still downloading after the download was initiated 12 hours ago. What's wrong?
Possibly nothing. The whole thing relies on the amount of people currently doing the same thing as you and also your internet connection, remembering that WiFi is extremely slow.
How far through the download is it? If it's nearly done and at least still moving along I would be inclined to leave it. If not then you can stop it and start it all over again. Just be warned that if it is simply a connection issue then you might just be re-starting your clock
PS - I've seen the download take over 60hrs before. -

OSX Mountain Lion update...please help
Hi there,
I have OSX 10.8.2 on my current MacBook Pro 13 inch. The problem I am having is I cannot update it because in the appstore Mountain Lion was purchased through a different account. I would like to purchase it from my account but it won't let me, it just says "you must sign into xxxxxx account to update". How can I purchase Mountain Lion on my current account?You may want to use the support link in the App Store: Support
They may be able to help.
The only way I can think of woiuld be to revert to the previous OS and then purchase Mountain Lion.
If you updated from Lion, you can revert by booting into Internet Recovery and choosing reinstall option. That will install the OS that the Mac shipped with. -
I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

I have mac osx 10.6.8 but i cannot update but win i upgriding osx mountain lion tha mac tell me (cheke network ???) I HAVE mac book pro 2011
Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

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. -
Problems with a Game - Should I update to OSX Mountain Lion?
Howdy,
To cut a long story short and get straight to the point I've been having problems with the Sims 3 for god knows how long and its starting to drive me mad. What I'm now wondering is whether updating to OSX Mountain Lion would help at all. The reason I've asked this is because I read a post by someone that said the only way to update your video card (which might be causing the problem) would be to upgrade the whole operating system.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah
P.s. If you need anymore details or anything just let me knowYou can not upgrade your Video card at all.
Mountain Lion may help, but I don't know that it will. -

Try installing the Epson drivers from here:

This site really works and my computer is now printing. -
Ever since updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I can't access my FCPX files
When I went into FCPX after updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I was told I needed to update my FCP files or they wouldn't play. I clicked update and left it running all night (I have a lot of large files). The next day, after rebooting, I tried to access my files, but when I click on the "reel" symbol to load a project, the Apple wheel starts to spin endlessly. It goes on for hours, and finally I have to force quit the program. Everything appears to be there, but I can't bring anything up or work on projects. The second the program starts, the wheel starts spinning.
Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert! This update requires OS X version 10.8.
Sounds like you downloaded the 10.8.1 update instead of the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.
You have to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store to get to 10.8 -
HT200100 could i update snow leopard directly to OSX mountain lion?
could i update snow leopard directly to OSX mountain lion?
Yes, you can upgrade directly to OS X Mountain Lion from OS X Snow Leopard. Just buy it in the App Store. It'll take a while to download and install, so you might want to run it overnight. And don't forget to make a backup first!
