Where do I download OS X Mountain Lion?
It's JULY 25! I've been waiting up for this. However, the application "OS X Mountain Lion" is not available in the app store? Where is it?
ok, maybe I have a different problem? I go to apple.com and it says to go to app store to download mtn lion; I try to FIND app store and can't! Next I try this: (FIrefox vs 15.0.1)
From this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/
click on UPGRADE NOW and get this result:
The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (macappstore) isn't associated with any program.
You might need to install other software to open this address.
Next I try a different browser: Chrome (vs 21.0.1180.89)
I chose this addr: http://www.apple.com/mac/
I click on link for "OS X Mountain Lion is here, now avail on the mac app store for just $19.99" so I click that...
-then at top right is blue tab for "upgrade now" so I click that...
-then it says it's "mac app store preview- OS X Mtn Lion" with all the descriptions and customer reviews!
-then under the icon of lion I click "view in mac app store' and NOTHING HAPPENS!
So someone PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET TO THE PLACE TO BUY THIS SOFTWARE!
~frustrated in no-where-land!
-I'm on an iMAC running 10.6.8 (and web site said my mac fits the sys requirements for this upgd!)

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?
Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz. -
did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.
also this takes huge amount of time, almost 10 hours to download, even using 3G Net connection.Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

HT202159 I have partially downloaded OS X Mountain Lion ...
I have partially downloaded OS X Mountain Lion. I lost my internet connection and my download stopped. I put my computer to sleep and took it somewhere else with a different connection to finish the download. Where I am, internet isn't very fast and so a download requires me to leave it on overnight . I got 3GB out of the 4GB the way there when this happened so I'd really like to avoid starting this over again.
When I go to purchases on the Mac App Store it says "An error has occurred" with a blank grey box next to it, and clicking it does nothing. Clicking "Check for unfinished downloads" also does nothing. Clicking "buy app" and it tells me I can download the app for free, and then it just hangs and nothing happens.
Is there a way to find the partially downloaded file on my Mac and restart where I left off?Same issue. I went into Activity Monitor and killed the stalled process. When I restarted App Store, the download started from scratch. I assumed that my earlier download had been overwritten, and sure enough, it had been. I followed these instructions to reveal the temp directory:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57480536-263/tackling-mountain-lion-downloa d-errors/
There was only one file in there (mzm.whodaifs.pkg), and it's the same size as currently indicated by the App Store progress bar. No 2.5GB file in sight. At least that's not going to sit around taking up HD space.
I've come across this other method for restarting downloads:
http://www.ryanragle.com/index.php?/site/comments/where-does-the-mac-app-store-d ownload-temp-files-to
Though it's now a moot question, I might try the debug menu method if it happens again. -
I have recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my new MacBook Air.
I have recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my new MacBook Air. I have Safari 6.0. I no longer see the "Empty Cache" option on the Safari drop down menu. Where did it go? How can I recover it?
GloriaSafari 6
Mountain Lion comes with Safari 6.
Apple removed "Empty Caches" from Safari menu.
1. Now clearing history clears caches and favicons.
2. Enable Develop menu.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
At the bottom check the box "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in menu bar.
Click Develop and from the dropdown select "Empty Caches".
Best. -
After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows -
How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?
How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
Please include the "binary images" section... -
I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version -
i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite
You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck

Сan not download OS X Mountain Lion, v10.8 (4 ) very slow internet
Сan not download OS X Mountain Lion, v10.8 (4 ) very slow internet
Unfortunately, on a slow internet connection with Mountain Lion being a 4.34GB file, the download is most likely going to time out before it can finish.
A suggestion. Try pausing the download then resuming at intervals > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads -
HT1338 Wanted to purchase and download OS X Mountain Lion.
I wanted to purchase and download OS X Mountain Lion but could not. Message told me that I did not have enough memory to download. I have 1GB of ram but they are saying that I Mountain Lion needs 2 GB. Are they talking desk top memory or what? I do have 17 GB of memory available. What to do?
They are talking about RAM, not storage. See this, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US It provides you steps to install more RAM. Of course, provided you purchase that ram.

I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help
hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.
