HT4463 Why is Mountain Lion download not working?

I have purchased the Mountain Lion upgrade, but initially it stopped downloading at 53.25 meg. Cleared it and started again, but still no success.
Ant ideas?

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privay > Firewall
If nothing above has helped, install the appropriate combo update.
For Lion v10.7 > OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
For Snow Leopard > 10.6 > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
The combo will reintsall the App Store for you which may help. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. Try downloading Mountain Lion.

OK.
How is your computer connected to the internet? Wireless? Wired?
What kind of internet service do you have where you are (cable/DSL/dialup)? If you're not sure, run a speedtest from another computer (preferably wired to your router). I use http://speedtest.net. Don't click any of the ads that claim to "Speed up your Mac". Write down and post the download and upload speeds.
Do you have an Apple Store near you? If so, you could go there to download the OS. Or find a location (an office? school?) that has faster internet.

I have a very fast connection, why is my mountain lion downloading so slowly?

I have a fast internet connection, why is mountain lion downloading so incredibly slow?

Apple servers seem to be the problem. To many downloads.

Why cant i find Mountain Lion download in the APP store?

They usually remove the previous version. If you need to purchase it, contact the App Store.

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.

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

Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

4 GB Mountain Lion Download quits @ 425 MB. 1.6 GB FCP X downloads OK!

That's it really!
If a 4 GB Mountain Lion Download from the App Store repeatedly quits at 425 MB but a 1.6 GB FCP X download from the App Store works perfectly, it surely must be a fault with the App Store - but if anyone knows a way to contact Apple and report this, they're doing better than I am.
Andy

Well, I managed to contact Apple on this matter.
The problem turned out to be my BT (British Telecom) 2Wire 2700 HGV Router.
I bought a new router online, and Mountain Lion downloaded perfectly.
Goodness only knows why Final Cut Pro X downloaded fine, but Mountain Lion repeatedly stalled at 425 MB - but that's computer equipment for you!

Why is Mountain Lion in "waiting" mode in my dock?

Why is Mountain Lion icon in "waiting" mode in my dock? Why is it not installing? I'm running a newer iMac with sufficient memory. I'm installing from Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Thanks for the advice. I selected cancel and restarted the process. It says it is downloading however, it disappeared and I chose to start the process again this a.m. I'm not sure whether or not it begins entirely again or carries on from before. It seems like a long, drawn out process, doesn't it? I've noticed the feed is starting so I'll let it run this morning and monitor the process.

How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?
Judy

Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Mountain Lion download problems with Lion 10.7.5 (no VirusBarrier issue)

I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. From the factory it came with Snow Leopard but has since been upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.5. I do not have VirusBarrier, I am writing from a recently clean-installed Lion.
I have now been troubleshooting my Mac for several days. When I wrote first, I had an issue with Safari having been damaged and so I wasn't able to reinstall Lion - but after a certain extremely helpful community member I finally succeeded in installing Lion.
But the issues with the App Store still persist. All my Mountain Lion downloads fail, getting the error message "can't verify, might be corrupted" what many here have also been getting. However, most solutions were related to VirusBarrier (which I don't have), or /var/folders errors (Console does not show any var-related errors).
So if it's not a var-related issue, or related to firewalls or virus softwares (I have disabled the Firewall and I have no virus software installed), what could it be?
When the download and install of ML failed last time, Console showed the following messages:
11/30/12 11:54:44.617 AM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [235] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [567]

It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.}
...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:
11/30/12 12:29:40.515 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [817] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [781]

Problem elimination:
* I don't think this is a router-related issue: I have downloaded and installed other softwares outside App Store successfully
* As said, I don't think this has anything to do with Firewall or Virus settings
* Nor has this anything to do with /var/folders as far as I can tell
What I've tried so far:
* Repaired disk permissions several times
* Rebooted
* Restarted App Store
* Following one advise found on the net, I deleted preflight.pfpkg just in case
* All the time I have made sure my OS has the most recent Software Updates installed (most of them downloaded successfully, while with Safari and OS 10.7.5. I had to try several times before they were downloaded succesfully)
I just reinstalled my OS X Lion, only to use it to jump on to Mountain Lion - so I am pending my migration until ML is installed. I would like to fix this soon, since I'd like to get the migration done and my real work started. I would really appreciate your help.
I'm not very adept at using Console or Terminal to troubleshoot, so if someone could guide me through the problem identification, that would be great. Unless someone already knows exactly what's going wrong and can show me a working solution - that'd save my day!
Thanks!

In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
Would that work out for you?

HT4718 Can't find iLife after Mountain Lion download?

After my mountain lion download (done by a genius at the apple store so I know I didn't mess it up!), ilife isn't here. It's also not under the "purchase" section of the app store like support.apple.com says it should be. help?

New Macs come with iLife. However, if you did a clean install you're not going to have iLife.
However, the original install disk that came with your Mac should have an iLife installer included.
