Does your iMac meet the system requirements as set forth on this web page?

Trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb
trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb
See if this applies:
Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
The general system requirements are straightforward:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Apple also lists which models WILL support Mountain Lion:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Hope this helps -

Ok, we will get through this. But you need to give us a description of what exactly the problem is.

How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?
You need to know 2 things
Ram, you need a minimum of 2GB, but 4GB (or more) is recommended.
HDD, you need a minimum of 20GB of hard disk space (including space for operation)
So.
Go to Apple>About this Mac and you will be able to see the amount of Ram installed.
Then select your hard drive (in Finder>Sidebar, usually called MacintoshHD) and click cmd-i (Command key and the letter I) look for capacity and available, post the results here. -
I can't down load mountain lion.it starts to down load them stops,
I can't down load mountain lion, it starts and stops 53.03mb and wont carry on.
This is probably why:
Please note:
If your Mac has OS X Lion, MPEG-2 functionality is built in and the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is unnecessary. This playback component requires QuickTime 7.6 or later, or QuickTime 7 Pro. -

How do i down load mountain lion??? I have tried several times without success
How do i download mountain lion. I have tried several times without success
If you are actually running 10.4. 11, you cannot download Mountain Lion. You must be running at least 10.6.8 to download Mountain Lion (or anything after 10.6.8).
If you have one of the original Mac Pros, you will not be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Lion is as far as you can go.
Go to About This Mac, More Info button. Look under Hardware for Mac Identifier. You need a macpro3,1 or later.
Not that it really makes any difference, but you've posted this on the Mavericks forum, not the Mountain Lion forum. -

You have to fill out the Up-To-Date form at the Apple website and wait for an email with a code in it to download ML for free.
Sorry don't have a link to that page so Google is your friend. -

Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly. I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade. Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
Thanks

I need to update my phone and it will not accept my new apple id and password. I have changed my apple id and password recently to a new email address. How do I update my phone when I can't get passed the id bit? Thank you
Thank you for your reply but I sorted it out by turning my phone off and then on again and it seemed to update itself so I could put in the apple ID. However, it's really not easy to negate the iphone and change emails which is unavoidable sometimes. If anything like that happens again I now know that there is an icloud website at least. Anne
