once you install it, the install files deletes itself....
download it again and when it's done, don't install it and you'll find it in our applications folder...

How do I download Mountain Lion?

I am currently running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) and am having trouble finding where do download Mountain Lion. The website says to download from the Mac App Store, but I don't have that. How do I download Mountain Lion?

because I want to be able to create a bootable thumb drive.
Unfortunately, you can't do that with the App Store version. As mentioned, that version of ML will not work with your Mac as it will not contain the necessary hardware drivers. The App Store version is intended only for users upgrading from Snow Leopard or Lion.
You really can't make fully restorable boot copy of Mountain Lion. The Recovery Disk Assistant Csound1 linked to is as close as you can get. What you end up with is a bootable disk that behaves exactly the same as the Recovery partition. It's still not a full copy of the OS. Most of it will have to download from Apple's servers.
The only way to have a fully restorable copy of ML is to clone the entire drive to an external drive and leave it alone. Boot to that drive only when necessary to restore it to a hard drive you've replaced in your Mac, or as another drive to boot to when their's trouble with the main drive.

I have just downloaded Mountain Lion but my iPhoto app cannot be launched as it says the original app cant be found. It takes me to where is says its located but its not there. What to do?

Reinstall it?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Who knows at this point. It was a year ago. Nobody here can tell you what Apple thinks. You must talk to Apple if you want a definite answer from Apple.
We can only help you with things we can access. Since the Up-to-date website doesn't appear to exist, we have no way of telling you how to try to overcome what you seem to think is unfair.
Only Apple can do that, and that would require you to talk to Apple.

Where can I download Mountain Lion?

I was about to upgrade my system from 10.6 to 10.8, but decided to wait for the new OSX announcement. I run professional applications(Pro Tools, FCP, Photoshop) that absolutely NEED to work. Currently, 10.9 isn't a stable platform for these applications from what I've heard, so I'm looking for 10.8.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me that its completely unavailable, it'd be much appreciated.
Cheers,

You can't. Mavericks is the only available version of OS X. You can only update to 10.6.8. You may be able to obtain it or Lion by the following:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I need to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.6 before I can download Mountain Lion. Where do I find this download?

I need to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.6 before I can download MOUNTAIN LION OSX. I am having trouble finding this download for 10.6.6.

10.7/10.8 will NOT run your older PPC or most Intel software, you going to have to spend money on a older machine that might not be worth it.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also 10.7/10.8 is slower and has more memory needs you machine might not be able to handle (4GB+) also your older CPU and graphics card.
If you want fast, OS X 10.6.8 is simply the fastest with a fresh install, even faster than 10.5. AND it runs your older software, no need to purchase new ones.
Run 10.6 until the wheels fall off that machine before you inflicted yourself with a backwards crap of the Lions.

I downloaded mountain lion onto my old mackbook pro, but would like to wipe it clean for my girlfriend, is there a way to wipe the computer clean, but still be able to keep mountain lion on it even though i already downloaded it?

Hey everyone, I just got the new retina display macbook pro, and here is where the problem lays is with my old macbook pro. I am wanting to give it to my girlfriend, but want to wipe the computer clean so she can have the macbook the way she wants it. I already downloaded mountain lion and was wondering what I need to do in order to keep mountain lion, but wipe everything else? I do not have any of the CDs for the old Macbook pro

To second baltwo's post:
Your license for Mountain Lion (or any OS version purchased at the app store) is not transferable - you can use it on any Mac you own and control; however, someone else getting that machine means the recipient will need to purchase ML The SLA states that you must erase the drive and reinstall the original OS. You will need to call Apple for replacement install disks.
If you leave ML on the machine, the recipient will never be able to reinstall the OS since the new Apple ID and machine ID no longer match.

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.

I have been downloading Mountain Lion for MAC for over 4 hrs. and it seems to be stuck about 2/3 of the way through. I have a I mac that is only 2 yrs old has 8 GB memory and I updated all software, checked utilitie for any disc repairs andbacked up everything before I started this process. Can someone tell me what to do Right now the version is OSX 10.6.8.

Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

Error downloading Mountain Lion, impossible to restart [SOLVED]

I just wanted to drop an issue that I had.
I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, that was covered by the free upgrade to Mountain Lion program. I received a correct coupon code, but while downloading, there was an internet problem. After, it was impossible to restart the download or erase any data.
The OS X Mountain Lion item in the App Store inside Purchased, was locked, with a black button and a red alert.
To fix the problem all I had to do is:
Log off from the app store
Delete every file in ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.appstore.savedState/
Run App Store.app, and inside App Store
Log in again
Purchase again Mountain Lion, it will say that it's free (it has been previously purchased).
After that it will run again.
Hoping to be useful

Try brining your MAC up in safe mode, download Mountain Lion, then restart your computer and install. Should work fine.

Un-split the hard drive and re-download Mountain Lion on my second laptop

I have two partitions on the hard drive of my MacBook Air; one has Snow Leopard (Mac OS X, 10.6.8) and the other has Mountain Lion (Mac OS X, 10.8.3). As I start saving more files on my MBA, I start having less free space to work with. When I purchased the Mountain Lion, I didn't purchase the CD version; I downloaded from Apple's site. Now I need to un-split my MacBook Air, keeping the Snow Leopard on it and move the Mountain Lion to my MacBook Pro. How do I do that? Any suggestions? Thanks!

download Mountain Lion again from the App Store - once the download is complete, it will try to install - cancel the install and create a Mountain Lion USB installer.

You do realize that you can also download Mountain Lion in your Macbook Pro through App Store. It should be under your purchases section when you open App Store.
