TS2565 why cant i download mountain lion
I am unable to download Mountain Lion onto my Laptop
This is related to your other post https://discussions.apple.com/message/21305789#21305789 where you ask about turning off virus scan before downloading Mac OS X...the answer there applies here, you must turn off anti-virus programs before downloading and installing an operating system.

It seems to be some kind of wide-spread problem since discussions are appearing in the Mac App Store forum. I already contacted the Mac App Store support page located here:

Hope this helps and don't worry you don't seem to be the only person with the issue... -

They usually remove the previous version. If you need to purchase it, contact the App Store.

Why cant i install mountain lion on my 10.6.8
Ive got a 27 inch iMac and ive currently got the 10.6.8 version. In order to use a new game capture, i have to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8. So i paid the $20.00 fee and it stated downloading. i saw the icon of the Mountain Lion in my applications bar at the bottom of my screen. However, when it finished downloading, it disappears. I cant find any trace of it on my hard drive at all. It just f***ing disappears without a trace once the progress bar finished. Does anyone know whats going on? please help!!
Look in your Application Folder for the OS X Mountain Lion Installer.

after downloading Mountain Lion, I can no longer print! My MAC see's the printer, even nozzle check works, but cant print anything!!
sorry!!! It is a Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW.
Have made sure all ML / Apple updates are done. Checked the Epson site and there are no updates for 10.8 -
why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice
This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

hi all. i just downloaded mountain lion and it seems to have added an old password for admin at the start up, the old password was removed so all i had to do was press enter and off i go, i cant remember it, what to do now??
Eli,
You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area. -
Since downloading Mountain Lion, why is Safari running very slow?
You're going to have to be more specific and include some details.

I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
We could not complete your purchase
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
Thank you!
Zanjan FromerI have tried to re-install Lion
If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
***** Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion. -
Trying to up date my OSX currently use 10.7.5. i have tried to download mountain lion but it says i need 10.8.0 but i cant find the download link to download 10.8.0 HELPPPP!!!
Download Mac OS X 10.9 from the Mac App Store. If it's incompatible with your computer, Mac OS X 10.8 will be as well.

I have a macbook pro 10.6.8 and am having trouble downloading Mountain Lion. I have purchased it but it won't download. Can anyone tell me why?
No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it? It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.
You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

Why do I keep getting a message that my new iMac is not compatible to download Mountain Lion OS? How do I fix that?
Is it brand new with ML preinstalled?
If so, your only way to download is to use the recovery method (hit keys Command + R while restarting). Can't use the app store.
Why are you trying to download? -
I had to download Mountain Lion twice. Why?
I downloaded Mountain Lion last night and when it stated I had to restart my computer, I shut my Macbook Air down because I had to leave for an appointment. When I restarted my computer, I was forced to download it again. Does anybody know why? Thanks in advance for your help.
