I am trying to reload a MacBook Pro using Mountain Lion purchased through the Mac App Store. However, I am having no luck in redeeming it to my account as I am not yet using the Mac but instead trying to use either am iPhone or PC and it just does not seem to work. Any ideas? Am I ivermectin looking something obvious? Cheers!

    There is only one source to download anything purchased throught the Mac App Store, and that is through the Mac App Store on a Mac.

     

    You cannot download Mac App Store purchases on a WIndows Computer nor on an iOS device, as neither of those can actually run the Mac App Store program.
