  • 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!!!

  • HT1338 I purchased OSx mountain lion - but it won't download

    Mountain lion does not seem to be downloading. I get the icon in launchpad with the text "downloading" but nothing is happening! I tried to repurchase and was told I had already purchased it - accepted offer to re-download and still nothing happens. Any ideas what is going on here?
    Thanks
    John

    I have a very similar, possibly exactly the same, situation. Purchased Mountain Lion after making sure I had the latest OSX prior to that, it seemed like it was downloading, but nothing happened. Shut down my computer, came back this morning, went to the app store, and clicked the download button again. Indicator spun for a second, then nothing. Any ideas on how to either finish downloading, or get my $ back?

  • Do I have to purchase OSX Mountain Lion for each computer

    I have Apple desktop and laptop that I want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.  Do I have to purchase the software twice and download it twice for each computer?

    No. One purchase multiple installs. Just have 10.6.8 or Lion installed on each computer. Once you purchase and download you can redownload with the other computer by logging it into the App Store with the same Apple ID. Or you can do this to save the download time:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash 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.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

  • How do I download my already purchased OSX Mountain Lion again?

    I've done this before, but for some reason am blocked now on the App Store Purchases tab. I've already purchased Mountain Lion, and need to create a bootable USB drive to reinstall it. I don't feel like paying $20 again, or finding an illegal copy since I've already purchased it. But what's going on? How do I download this again?
    Thanks everyone.

    I don't know if that's true. If you RENT a movie you can only download it once, but if you purchase it you should be able to download it multiple times. If you purchase a movie, and delete it, you should still have it saved in the Cloud. Maybe you aren't showing purchases from The Cloud in your iTunes lists. To fix this in iTunes on your computer:
    In the menu bar > iTunes > Preferences > Store (Store Preferences) > Show iTunes In The Cloud Purchases (Enable this)

  • App Store not showing OSX Mountain Lion as already purchased.

    I previously purchased OSX Mountain Lion and now need to redownload the installer. When I go to the App Store, Mountain Lion shows as needing to be purchased again. What is going on?

    If you have made purchases in the past, but do not show any purchases on the Purchases pane, then you are likely not signed into your account. You sign in and out of your account in the Store pulldown menu of the Mac App Store toolbar.
    If you don't see View Hidden Purchases you haven't hidden any.

  • Progress bar is stuck downloading OSX Mountain Lion

    Hi All,
    Please help me.
    I purchased OSX Mountain LION at Mac App Store. Its almost 6-7 hours still now its showing only little progress done. I cant see how much % done. Just I can see blue spot on launchPad.Its not moving forward at all. It is stuck. How to know whether it is done or what? When I went to App Store Its still showing "Downloading".
    Why it is stopped at that moment?
    Please let me know what happened?
    I am having Mac OSX Lion using Mac Book Pro.
    Please Help me

    The download is over 4GB (4,000MB or 4,000,000KB).  If you have a basic internet service, it could take several hours to download.  Even a 10Mbps connection will take a little over an hour.

  • 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.

  • Uninstalling OSX Mountain Lion

    My macbookpro has become increasingly slow. I want to uninstall my latest software which is OSX Mountain Lion, but I purchased the software off of iTunes so i do not have a hard CD copy to re-install the software. Is uninstalling then re-installing the right way to weed out options in hopes of cleaning up my computer?

    if you upgraded to mountain lion - a recovery partiton was created in your hard drive.
    to do a complete reinstall - turn your macbook on while holding down the command + r keys and follow the instructions once you see the boot menu.
    before you reinstall - make sure all your files are backed up.
    why do you need to do a reinstall?  what kind of issues are you having with your macbook right now?
    how much ram have you got installed and how much disk space have you got left in your hard drive?

  • 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.

  • OSX Mountain Lion Server - how do you uninstall this including services

    Hi All,
    Sorry if the question has been asked before.
    I have Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and installed OSX Mountain Lion Server (2.2.2) and run into a couple of issues after installed successfully.
    * I no longer can add users and groups.
    * Open Directory fails to connect.
    So I read some forums and uninstalled the server by trashing it, deleting /Libaray/Server, empty trash and reboot. But when I reinstalled the server it renabled all the services that I had previously and still not able to add users and groups. Open Directory fails to connect "not able to load replica" So I try to create a new OD and get an error the server is already a Network Server.
    So basicaly I want to start from scratch and need some assistance how to get rid of OSX Server.
    Thanks
    Sahid

    Wipe the disk, and reinstall OS X.  (Not fun, of course.  I just created a bootable USB disk for this purpose, and nuked an errant server configuration.  A "target practice" server used for testing purposes had gone awry, and needed to be wholly reset.  So I know what you're going through.  Visit here or here for some instructions.)
    FWIW, usual trigger for problems with OS X Server on a NAT'd network is bad DNS.  That step gets skipped, or folks think they can refer to ISP or off-LAN DNS servers, and problems ensue.  OS X Server needs LAN-local DNS when NAT is in use.
