Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Some ISP's have a download quota that limits download sizes. Mountain Lion is a 4.35GB file.
Check with your internet service provider. You also may need to upgrade to broadband high speed internet since Mountain Lion Recovery requires broadbaand access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection.
Check Sleep settings in System Preferences > Energy Saver.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?
Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS). -
Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.
Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install. -
I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

So, I was downloading Mountian Lion to my mac.... It was taking a while but I thought possibly that was normal. When I checked back, Mountain Lion was gone, not even downloading anymore and I thought to myself, It couldn't be downloaded already. So I went to the app store and it now says an error has occured... I have no idea what to do now...... Can someone help please?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Press Shift key on boot, open App Store and download Mountain Lion. If the error appears, contact with iTunes support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -
I am having trouble installing Mountain Lion. Error says HD is not OSX Extended.
I went into Disk Utility and it says my HD is OSX Extended.
Open Disk Utility and select the physical drive (not the volume)... what is the partition map scheme?

I have just installed Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 on my Imac 27 and now on startup the page just continues to reload continueously and makes it imposible to access the system preferences app or anything else for that matter. initial startup is as before but stops at the facepage, mouse track pad and cursor keys are rendered useless as the arrow will not respond of even appear except for a millisecond occasionally.
I'd appreciate any assistance with this problem and solution if it exsists.It appears you have a corrupt install. My first reaction would be to boot to the Recover Partition and then reinstall Mountain Lion. If you don't know how to boot from the Recovery Partition please visit Apples Advice letter that explains how located at:
support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hopefully you followed Apple's advice on backing up your system prior to upgrading. -
I installed mountain lion but I lost iMovie and others apple apps
I installed mountain lion in my macbook but now I lost imovie, iphoto and garageband. How take the apps again?
I am unaware of Mountain Lion removing any applications. Did you erase your disk or something? If so, you will have to restore them from backup. You can use Migration Assistant to do that. If you purchased them from the App Store, you can download them again.

Problems with restart after installing mountain lion
Hi, I downloaded and installed mountain lion. The computer restarted but it has been hours and I still have the white screen with little circle with the lines, not rainbow. What do I do? Getting worried here.
Hej guys
I just bought a Hengedock docking station for my late 2011 mbp 13".
And i wasn't aware of this problem untill I recieved the dock.
Oubviously I was very frustrated as well as most other people - however, I found a solution.
This may not be the best solution, but it will do for me at least untill apple fixes this bug.
What I did was i downloaded an app called InsomaniaX (Do a google search and it will pop up as the first result). What it will do is, that (when activated) it will prevent your laptop from sleeping, when the lid is closed, BUT still turn off the internal monitor and keyboard light.
This will make use of vertical docking stations like the hengedock possible :-)

I am having issues with my external hard drives since installing Mountain Lion
I am unable to get my time machine to backup consistently on my external hard drives since installing Mountain Lion. One of my drives seems to have lost all data since installing Mountain Lion. Is this problem cropping up with other folks? BTW, all of my drives are Lacie brand.

Do you mean, when you select it to be used for backups, the Preferences window shows "none"? If so, that's not a problem. That doesn't get updated until the next backup to that disk is finished. See #B3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting -
How do I re-install Mountain Lion on a new hard drive (replacement)?
I have an older iMac 24" (2007) that has been up-graded to Mountain lion. I want to replace my hard drive with a bigger one (has 500Gb). How can I re-install Mountain Lion on my new drive? I have Time Machine on this machine.
Install 10.6 and 10.8 onto the new drive exactly how you did it on the old drive, except that you won't need to pay to redownload 10.8. Alternatively, if you kept a copy of the 10.8 installer, you can just rerun it.

Caution: Before you install Mountain Lion ...
To avoid problems, you should drag-out the Diagnostic Disc that came with your machine (if there is one), (mine boots with the "D"-keyboard-key held-down whilst booting), and verify that all locations in RAM are working properly by doing a full diagnostic (this may take a few hours -- be patient).
If the RAM locations don't work properly, it can cause all sorts of problems with your machine -- take it to the Apple Store at the Mall !
Then you should boot-up normally, and go into the "Utilities":"Disk Utility" application, select the indented internal drive, and hit the "Verify Disk" button.
If the internal drive doesn't "Verify" properly, you need to reboot into the Lion "Recovery partition, activate "Disk Utiltity" from there, and "Repair Disk".
If it repairs the disk properly, then using the same program, re-"Verify" the internal disk.
Then you should use "Disk Utility", and "Repair Permissions" before, (and probably after), installing Mountain Lion.Tech Tools Pro might be worth buying for a complete suite of computer checks before an upgrade

Problem with iPad back up after installing Mountain Lion.
Since installing Mountain Lion, the camera roll on my iPad does not download pictures. It's a first generation iPad. Is it not compatible with Mountain Lion or is there something I can do?
Searching communities I found an Apple page Image Capture. So I opened it with my iPad connected and the pictures were imported. I still don't know whether I will have to do this every time or whether it has unblocked it!

I have tried to install Mountain Lion but it has failed to install properly
I have tried to install mountain lion but it has failed to install
If you open Finder and open your Applications folder list, under the alphabetically listed "I"'s you should see an application called "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app", if it downloaded OK. This is the package that you double click on to begin installation of Mountain Lion. Have you already done this?
Hope this helps -
Just clean installed Mountain Lion but MBP running extremely, extremely slow
Four days ago I opened up my MBP to find it running at a snail's pace. The change had happened overnight. Five days ago it was blazing fast, the next day every application took 20 minutes to start up, the rainbow circle would appear every time I would do the simplest of tasks; it was a nightmare.
First, I thought there was some sort of malware infecting my system, so I scanned the computer with Sophos, iAntivirus and ClamXav. This process took the better part of a day because everything was so slow. The results were all clear. Next, I decided to repair permissions, empty the cache, and use CCleaner. No improvement.
Then, I felt there was a problem with the OS I was running; Lion. So I decided to get Mountain Lion. I took the install DMG file and used Lion Diskmaker to create a USB install disk. I then booted with 'Option', erased Macintosh HD, and installed Mountain Lion. Installation was without any problems, except for the fact that it was quite slow and the Welcome steps also took a very long time to complete, with the rainbow circle constantly appearing.
This now leads me to believe that there might be some sort of hardware issue. If this is so, or if you suspect any other sort of issue, how would I go about identifying and fixing it? Please help, because even typing this problem out has taken me a long time due to the MBP constantly getting stuck and slow-ey.
P.S. I've also noticed that the longer I keep an application running, the smoother it seems to run, but the difference is very small.
MBP 13 inch, Late 2011
Processor: Intel Core i7 2.8 Ghz
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software: OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
