Why doesn't Mountain Lion OS download?

I have bought it and received the emails with the redeem code and everything and when it started downloading it stayed like that, the download bar doesn't move. No messages or anything.

Check the App Store Purchases tab to see if there is a Resume button.

  • Why doesn't Mountain Lion show Firefox as a running application?

    I 'upgraded' from Lion to Mountain Lion at the weekend and am now trouble-shooting some of the many problems it has created.
    When Firefox is running it doesn't appear in the application switcher (CMD+Tab) or have a 'blue light' in the Dock - but I can switch to it from the Dock.
    Any ideas?
    Best,
    Keith..

    The Dock seems to have a couple of bugs - I've seen it stop updating icons a couple of times, Firefox included.
    I fixed it by restarting the dock - if you open Terminal (use Spotlight if you don't know it) and type 'killall Dock' without the quotes, it should fix it.

  • Why doesn't mountain lion remember my external display settings?

    I'm a teacher.  I have a 13" early 2011 MBP with mountain lion (10.8.1, clean install on new SSD).  I have external monitors in my office and at home.  I want them to be the primary when plugged in (with the menubar/dock, and the MBP LCD on the left as the secondary display).  When I'm in classrooms, I want the projectors I connect to to be the secondary display (with the MBP LCD on the right as the primary with menubar and dock).  Snow leopard remembered all of this for each display.  Mountain lion doesn't.  Projectors almost always come up mirrored even if I've connected to them before and reset it. 
    To make matters worse, the displays menubar option is gone in Mountain Lion.  Argh........
    Ideas?

    Ok, I think I found a solution.  I disabled the new clamshell mode behavior by using
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0" and rebooting, make it work like snow leopard.  Since, it seems to be remembering my 3 displays (classroom projector as secondary on the left, office monitor as primary on the right, and home monitor as primary on the right).  The downside is if you connect everything with the lid closed and get only one display, opening the lid does nothing and there is no easy "Detect Displays".  Maybe I can write an applescript to easily detect displays.

  • Why doesn't mountain lion work on imac 24"jan 2007 with  2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo   3 GB 667 MHz    DDR2 SDRAMNVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128 MB ?

    Matthew, 6 years is an eternity in computer life. Probably the single biggest reason your computer won't run the latest operating system is that it cannot run the minimum amount of ram required. ML wil not run in 3gb and truthfully will barely run in the minimum 4gb. Your best option is to run Snow Leopard which is a fine OS or upgrade your hardware.

  • Why isn't mountain lion downloading? It shows up in Launch Pad and says it's downloading but nothing happens.

    Why isn't Mountain Lion downloading? It shows up in Launch Pad and says it's downloading but nothng happens.

    Depending on your connection speed, it could take anywhere from 1-8 hours to download.  It's a 4GB download.
    On the average 3Mbps home network connection, it will take 3-4 hours to download.

  • HT202159 Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work

    Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work. Tried to re download, but it states code has already been used

    Danielle...
    From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed internet) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • Hi, how do I create a standalone installer for Mountain Lion, ie, download once and then no more broadband required, thanks?

    Hi, how do I create a standalone installer for Mountain Lion, ie, download once and then no more broadband required, thanks?
    Context is that my other computers are not mobile and I do not have broadband worth troubling for a 4GB download - so will go to Apple Store with MacBook Pro for first download.

    The easiest way is to download the installer but do not open it.
    Next, make a copy of it and store it where it won't get lost.
    Then take one of the copies and place into the applications directory and open it to begin the installer.
    This has saved me the trouble of ever having to download the installer twice, plus you can mess around with the installer and try different options without having to worry about not having a clean install file if needed.
    Best wishes

  • Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    In the "purchases" tab in the App Store you'll see a progress report. 
    Also once it completes downloading the installer will auto-launch.
    Once you get Mountain Lion installed, if you have the Downloads folder in your dock you will get a progress indicator in the dock while it's downloading :-)

  • Why is OS X Lion showing download even though I have the most current version?

    Why is OS X Lion showing download even though I have the most current version?

    Hi..
    Nothing to be concerned about. The download is available if you want to download Lion again to create an install disc or re download Lion on any other authorized Macs you have for free using the same Apple ID.

  • How long does it take mountain lion to download?

    How long does it take mountain lion to download?

    Forever! Wait about half an hour, if there's no progress in the download bar, you can restart to jostle it. It should pick up the DL from where it left off.
