Q: When I try do a install of mountain lion it gives me an error

Hi,

Today I purchased a 2006 iMac, I came with a blank HD, when I boot I up it prompts me to re-install Mountain Lion.

Anyway, I follow the steps agree to the terms, etc. And then when I get to the screen telling you to select the drive to install Mac OS X on I select the drive then it tells you to sign into your Apple ID I do that, then I comes up with: This item is temporary unavailable please try agan late. And won't let me go any futher.

Is it that Apple doesn't host mountain lion on their servers anymore or is it the computer?

Please reply to me ASAP

 

Thanks,
