Mountain Lion Update for my macbook pro FAILED!!!!

Hi everyone,
I just updated my macbook pro yesterday. However, when time remained 19 minutes, the updated failed and a message popped out: 'Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer.' It also asked me to restart and try installing again.
However, after I restarted, it was still unsuccessful and this same message popped out. Whenever I turn on my macbook pro, it just stays on the the update install process and I can't even quit it. I tried to choose Startup Disk, however, no system shown and I couldn't select the system I want to use to start up my computer. I just don't know what to do but I really need to use my macbook pro as soon as possible. I have to use the files on it to do something really urgent and important. If someone has encountered this problem and found out the solution, please tell and help me! I really need your kind help!!!! Thanks so much!!!!

If you have supported Macs, just go to the Mac App store and buy it. You can install it on up to 5 Macs on one licence

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

Oh, and try the Safari forum instead.

You are talking to end users, not "Apple"
Go back to :Lion maybe until Moutain Lion has had more time to get optimized and ironed out.

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.

The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,

I'm attempting to download mountain lion, but everytime I click the download button, it turns white and the just reverts back to normal. I tried restarting the computer, and I see the dock icon saying it's downloading, but again, nothing in the App Store changes. I've tried deleting the cache for the App Store, I've tried resetting the App Store, I tried creating a VPN network, but nothing worked. I'm out of idea.

How do I Reinstall Mountain Lion on a used Macbook Pro?

So I just recently purchased a 2011 Macbook Pro off of Craigslist. A friend picked it up for me, installed an extra copy of Windows 8 he had for me under my name, and made sure the OSX Mountain Lion side worked fine. Somehow, after the first time I restarted OSX it would no longer boot up, but Windows worked fine. So I booted up in the recovery partition, reformatted the OSX partition, and attempted to install Mountain Lion.
The problem is that I don't have it listed under my Apple I.D. as purchased, which makes sense because the last Macbook I bought came with Leopard. I tried to buy it on the Windows side through iTunes, but I'm not able. So my question is can I just buy Mountain Lion on someone else's Mac through the App store under my I.D., and will I then be able to reinstall Mountain Lion through the recovery partition?
Or will I have to resort to resetting my Macbook Pro to factory defaults, losing the copy of Windows 8 I was given, and reverting back to the original OS, which I'm guessing is Lion?

Well, you need to log in to the App Store on a Mac, using your AppleID, and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, on the konked out Mac's Recovery Partition you'll be able to sign in with the same AppleID and download the ML installer you are now eligible to use.

Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion with my 2008 MAcbook Pro?

I have a 2008 MAcbook pro 10.6.8 , 2,5 GHz Intel duel core, 4 GB MHz 17 Inch. It works fine but I am about to receive a new iPhone 5 and want to use iCloud. Is my computer compatible with doing this? ANd what will be different if I do? Will my computer be faster or slower or stay the same?? I also have a older version of Word for MAc (2008 or 2009) , I dont think it will work anymore if I upgrade. Thanks for your help!

You are using 10.6.8, so you can sync the iPhone 5 with your computer in this version. However, if you want to use iCloud, you have to upgrade. In this case, you can upgrade to Lion and Mountain Lion. OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid/Late 2007 or newer MacBook Pro. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
First, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's been downloaded, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will show up, so follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud, and follow its steps to set up iCloud on your MacBook Pro.
Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011 works in Mountain Lion, but if you have 2008, you should update it to the most recent version before upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion not installing on MacBook pro 17inch

I have downloaded without any issue and followed the prompt to install. The install start and goes on for 35 minutes with the progress bar moving. So it is doing something. Then it is getting to the end with the following message: install failed. OsX could not be installed on your computer. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer. Click start to restart your computer and try installing again.
I have tried 6 times but not working. The I wanting to restore from backup using the utilities from the menu bar "Restore System from backup" it will do the same and. Go on for 35 minutes and get to the same screen "install failed" what should I do now.

Having read several posts on this subject it seems to be very hit and miss for some people, but I think on the whole it is only a few who are affected.
I find it very difficult to believe that a Mac cannot be taken back to Snow Leopard by performing a complete fresh install using the install DVD that came with that machine, or a retail edition disc. Mac OS does not alter the firmware during the install as far as I am aware, so the hardware should be the same as it was originally before the install.
The only thing I can think that might prevent a successful install might be if the system files have been altered by software installers, the Mac OS installer might be confused, or if the permissions have not been set correctly then the installer might not be able to overwrite or set up certain files. That is why a clean install should (in theory) always work on compatible hardware, then a restore from a backup or Time Machine would be all that is required to bring back the user's data. Formatting the hard drive may be a necessary step if it is not working as expected, this can be done from the Utilities when booted from the install media (or Lion recovery thing).
I didn't have a problem installing Lion or Mountain Lion on my Late 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro, but before installing made sure I created a USB flash drive (8GB) from the downloaded installer using the little trick which is around on the internet. If the installation had bailed for any reason, I definitely did not want to have to download several GB all over again.

Downgrading OS X Yosemite to Mountain Lion on brand new Macbook Pro Retina

Hi all...
Some background...
I'm awaiting delivery of a new CTO 13" Macbook Pro Retina and have a question or two.
Obviously the new machine will ship with Yosemite, but I intend to downgrade to Mountain Lion. My main use for the new Notebook is audio, and a lot of DAW software and plugins are not stable on Yosemite yet. I have a Mac Pro 6 core 3.33 tower system that I only jumped from Lion to Mountain Lion on a few months back, as I find I get rock solid performance by staying one or two OS X releases behind with all the stuff I need to run. My Mountain Lion upgrade was done through the App Store.
My questions... on the Macbook Pro (this is my first laptop ever), can I simply log into my Store account and download and run the installer for Mountain Lion from my purchase history? The machine will be brand new.. with no personal info or documents etc, so is there really any point doing a backup beforehand? Will a Yosemite machine let me run an installer for an older OS X?
If someone has experience doing the same, I'd greatly appreciate advice on what the best way to complete the downgrade would be.
Cheers!

Question should be - why can't I purchase a mac direct from Apple with an operating system less than current?
Particularly if a business can afford additional devices but not the updates required to get software in line.
This is also an issue with windows computers - Small company owner needed a few more PC's for his businesses that had just completed an PC based system install that ran on XP -- they came with Vista or windows 7 (don't remember which) his businesses were large enough that he did return them and get XP PC's. (Software was not compatible with other than XP) Few years later - went with what used to be called "smart terminal" no PC's on the desktop - all info on a server.

Why won't Mountain Lion install on my MacBook Pro?

Ok, so I've just bought Mountain Lion from the app store for my 2010 13 inch MacBook Pro, it's been downloaded, and now I'm trying to install it.
It takes me to the first page, I accept the software license agreement and all that, choose that I want it to be installed on Macintosh HD, press 'Install' and enter my password... then nothing happens.
It accepts my password, so I know that's not incorrect, but just doesn't do anything. All I can do is keep pressing install and keep entering in my password, but it doesn't take me to a new page or start installing the software.
Ive tried restarting, that doesn't work. Please tell me I haven't just wasted £13.99!?!?
Thanks!

ive just obtained a password by email, entered it when asked, but then nothing happened No download started at all, not in dowloads and cant fnd what to do.
Went to app store and I can purchase it apparently for £13.99 but ive a free upgrade with this new retina macbook pro.
Any advice would be most appreciated please
thanks

Mountain Lion on mid-2009 MacBook Pro spinning beachball is becoming frequent

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 2.53 GHZ 4 GB ram and more and more I am getting the spinning beachball. When verifying permissions it says Est time 1 minute for close to 5 minutes, My TM drive won't repair. The machine is just much slower. I have a new hard drive and I replaced the battery because it was giving me a battery error. Is this all the result of running Mountain Lion? I have had it for several months and it just seems to be getting worse.

Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying
