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

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. -
This mini is operating OSX 10.6.8 and trying to update to Mountain Lion but upgrade stops and a black overscreen displays saying to power off and power on. The upgrade fails. What's the problem?
Hi Fred,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
I'm trying to reinstall my mountain lion, but it won't install on my regular disk
so, i have a problem.
When i tried to restart my Mac earlier today, I got the gray screen. Now i'm trying to reinstall my mountain lion, but when the install guide tells me to choose a disk to reinstall on, it says that my disk is locked.
please help, urgent!
thanks.No, you'll lose your data. Do you have a backup? If you don't use Time Machine, here are some cloning programs you can use to make a backup. Two backups are better than one.

I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Always search the forum before posting. This is asked at least three times just below your post.

Trying to download OSX Mountain Lion, but just says waiting all the time? Anyone know what this could be?
You are not specific with your problem or errors but one thing that always throws people off is as follows:
When entering you're login name you must use the entire login with carrier name such as [email protected] The field defults to just your name but not the carrier name. -

Trying to upgrade to mountain lion but I get a connection fail

I had a similar problem when I migrated from a Macbook (old OS) to a Mac Air (OS 10.9). The "fix" was to ensure that my computer system date was the right one - believe it or not. The default system date was a year prior, and since I"ve updated it the correct date, no issues.
