Where is Mt. Lion download saved to?

I just downloaded 10.8.5 but can't find it anywhere..not in the applications folder and not by using SpotLight...
Download took all night and I was greeted this morning with a big mt. lion face and a continue button; all I want is the download of 10.8.5 for re-install purposes.
Any clues as to where the download would be are greatly appreciated!

Hi, Ralph
There was no install/restart. I know because I had a chat window open and there was no such activity shown..I just had a "continue" button on that screen where you see the mountain lion face. I'd already used the 10.8.5 updater, so I was up to date.
I like to download Mt. Lion after every combo updater in case I need to re-install the OS..must be same version as currently running.
I have the tools to make the bootable installer, thank you for that tip. I just need to find where the download went to, if it's still there..
thank you!

  • Where Does Mountain Lion Download To?

    I'm in the process of downloading ML so taht I can create a second bootable drive. Where does the ML download go to? I' ve looked several times throguh my downloads folder but I don't see it in there.
    Thanks!

    In the Applications folder.
    You can make a backup or a bootable installer disk BEFORE you install ML: after the install the installer is gone.
    Use Lion Diskmaker, works for ML too.

  • Where is the Lion download stored?

    Just finished downloading and installing Lion on my iMac. I'd now like to install it on my MBP, but really don't want to download another 3.7 gigs of data. Where is the download stored? Is it saved after installation?

    I have read that it is placed here, though I've not been able to confirm this yet:
    /Applications/Install Mac OS X Lion
    This link may also help.

  • Where is OSX Lion download?

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Lion from the App store and it has installed. I cannot find the installer anywhere on my machine. I am having issues with Mail and would like to reinstall either Lion or Mail or uninstall and reinstall both. Where does the OSX Lion app reside once downloaded and installed? Tried all the usual places, downloads...
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • Where is the lion download

    I am looking for the Lion dmg file or whatever the downloaded image file name is for Lion.  I sometimes use the install dvd to "clean up" things like privlages and such by booting from the install dvd and re-setting the password.  This in the past has really speeded up boot time.  So i now have Lion and in general it perfroms pretty well. So, where is the downloaded file? I want very much to create a DVD for my own use on my laptop but cant find it anywhere. Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks
    Bob G

    When you download the upgrade to Lion it is in your Application folder but is deleted after install.
    To do what you used to do from a DVD you now do from the Recovery Partition: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery.
    The nearest thing to a separate DVD is the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.

  • Location of Mountain Lion Download?

    For some reason yet to be discovered I always seem to have issues downloading large files on my Mac.
    I have a work around where I download the SW packages at work and save to a USB thumb drive and then copy and install on my Mac.
    Can someone tell me where the Mountain Lion download is located and what I need to do if I already have the purchase recoreded in the apps store?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Mmmmm now thats a problem!
    Any ideas why when I download it tells me that I have a "hash mismatch" problem. I guess that the checksum is failing????
    I've noticed in the past that large downloads seem to get corrupted.
    Any suggestions or workarounds?
    In the past with major updatyes that have don this then I've gone to the downloads page and downloaded from my PC at work and then copied the .dmg to my mac and its worked.
    This problem only seems to have started when I moved to a cable modem from DSL?? not sure if this is a clue or not
    Thanks

  • Where is the Lion OS download link?

    Just bought iMac.  It came with Snow Leopard.  It is supposed to let me download Lion for free.  But I cannot find a link on the website.  Not the $29.99 link button since I am not supposed to pay.  I can find downloads for many add ins, but not for Lion O/S

    For the sake of completeness and in the spirit of giving back (thanks to those who posted help above):
    problem solved.  They really do need your credit card information and it has to match up to your iTunes account card before you can download Lion.  Also, they will generate a very long code and then you have to enter that code into another window. Pretty cumbersome.  And now I am waiting for the Lion download to finish.  I see comments from others that this is taking a very long time for them and it is for me.  I understand that this is a new method for Apple to deliver downloads of its software.  Looks like Apple servers are not able to support this approach at this time. 
    At one point in the process they will ask you the place of purchase and right under that the city.  The place of purchase is who sold it to you and if it was the Apple Online Store you should enter Apple.com.  The example they show is XYZ company.  That is not supposed to be the company you work for, but the location of the seller. The next line down is the City.  You might think from the context that this is the City of the seller, but IT IS NOT. It is the city where you live.  Apple should clarify that.  A feedback to Apple for what its worth:
    Seems redundant to ask for the seller name and the buyer city since they also already have your credit card, the serial number of your device, your apple account ID, your name, your email address, Etc.  Sure does not convey that Apple is sensitive to privacy issues.

  • Reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving data

    Hello, I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving my programms, docs and photos. What should I do then? I know that Time Machine backups data with the  system. But Ineed to backup my files and then on clear system I want  to restore this backup. Please reply with the steps which should I do. And where should I download original Mac OS X Lion image?
    PS I bought MacBook Pro with pre-installed Lion.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes there is/are.

    By the way it is NOT self deleting. Something deleted it, you or something else.
    Just to check open Terminal and type diskutil list then hit the enter key. If there is an entry for "Apple_Boot Recovery HD" of 650MBs then you do have a recovery HD partition.
    Once you recreate the Recovery HD I would do one of 2 things, or both of them.
    1) Use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to create a USB thumb drive of the recovery HD file. that way you will always have a way to boot your Mac and do maintenance or Reinstall Lion.
    2) follow this link

  • CS6 Beta ended by crash - How/Where to keep my Auto-Saved Recovered file ?

    Hello,
    I was working on Photoshop CS6 beta on Lion OSX since one month with no problem.
    Yesterday seemed to be the last day of use (1st june annonced however) and Photoshop CS6 Beta shutted down since I was working on it.
    On the re-opening it asks for a licence key so I try to buy one month rental on the e-shop but the 3 bank cards tested failed. So I gave a call to the commercial service and they told me that they do not take in charge rental but only full licence and that I can download the trial for one more month if I want to.
    So, I will replace the beta by the trial.
    But :
    - How can I keep my Auto-saved Recovered file I was working on when crashing (pretty important work)
    - Where the recovered file is saved on the hard-drive ? And, can I make it works whith CS6 non-beta ?
    A lot of thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind Regards

    As I understand it - having not (fortunatley) had the opportunity to test this - if PS crashes and you have auto-save switched on, you need to re-launch PS and it will automatically open with the recovered file(s) in the state they were at when auto-save last saved them. Auto-save stores files temporarily in a special folder that's located at the same file path as your scratch disk location. (My scratch disk is at root level on a seperate drive, so it's easy to see the auto-save folder if I look there, but if you can locate your scratch disk, you should see the auto-save folder also.)
    Of course, the fact that you can no longer open PS is going to present a problem here. I'm not sure if you could re-access the file via the trial version once that was installed and pointing to the same scratch disk area.
    I might have got this wrong, but I think it's correct... Feel free to disprove my post!

  • Mountain Lion download on multiple (family) computers

    Downloaded OS upgrade to Air. How do I install to family iMac? Understood that the license for the Mountian Lion allows download of the OS for up to 5 family devices.

    If you purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store then you can install it on all the computers you own. There is no limitation as long as you own them all.
    You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed on each computer. Sign in to the App Store from each computer using the same Apple ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. You will then be able to re-download for free.
    Or if you saved the Mountain Lion installer applcation then you can do this:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    You now have a Mountain Lion installer you can use for each computer now or whenever you need to reinstall Mountain Lion.

    Where is the calendar folder saved in Entourage in MacBook?

    If you are looking for a way to edit the items that appear in the Services menu... there is not a specific directory that controls the list.
    However there is a lovely (donationware) Application called Service Scrubber that enables editing of the menu. You can download it at: http://www.manytricks.com/servicescrubber/

  • Safari in lion download panel - can't drag download

    Hi, just loaded Lion on a machine and we are having trouble with our work flow.
    We get a lot of audio and video made available to us via the web and we used
    to be able to open the Download panel and drag the titlebar icon to this panel
    and it would grab the file and put it in downloads for us.
    Now we can not find a way to do this.
    Dragging the title bar to the desktop for example now creates a .webloc file
    and not the actual audio or video.
    Please help or we will have to revert back another machine.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    right click (secondary click) the file you want to download and then hit save to downloads.
    if the link goes directly to the media, like an mp3 or .flv, then it'll donwload that linked file.
    You can also choose save as. You can also choose to change your downloads folder to something else in Safari>Preferences>General
    notice where it says "save download files to:" and I have downloads but you can make it anything else which would change the place wher eyour media is downloaded.
