Hi

I have downloaded Mountain Lion on my laptop no probs. BUT can't do so on my main computer- it says not able to I am running Lion 10.7.4. same as I was on laptop?

I have disabled Time machine as understood that may be in conflict- any ideas people-

I have the same problem. I purchased mountain lion but I can not download it. I only see an icon saying "waiting" but there is no progress.

Any ideas?

I don't even get icon saying waiting- as soon as try it comes up my computer not able to download- I am running same software updates the lot on lap top and main desk top Laptop downloaded no probs -was advised remove Time Machine- I did-

disengaged firewalls the lot and still nothing- I have enough speed, enough free disk but won't -

**** n uisance really-

unsure if was worth the £13.99 - live in hope for someone to provide solution-

The version of the current OS is irrelevant to your problem. Your other Mac is likely not capable of running Mountain Lion because it is too old.

Joseph posted the minimum requirements above. If your other Mac doesn't meet those requirements, you can't install ML on that Mac.

You're going to have to provide more details as to what messages you get or what you are seeing that is preventing you from downloading.

I have MacBook Pro, I bought it a year ago, and OS version is 10.7.4 2,33 Ghz ıntel processor with 4 GB RAM. I do not think my computer is the problem. Something wrong with the download process.

Thanks a lot

Again, what messages are you getting or what are you seeing when you try to purchase/download?

I do not see any messages. I can see the icon of ML on launchpad, saying "waiting", but there is no progress even after hours..

Thanks

Go int the App Store, click on Purchases and see if you can pause and then restart the download.

I can't remember what options are available.

It seems to be working now !!! great !! thanks a lot, I appreciate that.

I bought my first MacBook on Saturday and have already made 4 x 100 mile round trips to the store with it with various issues. I've been trying to download my free version of ML for three days - the store said when I took it back to say it was hanging that I needed to allow 20 hours (!!!) as it was a huge download, but it still isn't working. I don't have an error message, and it says that it's downloading, but it's been hanging in the same place for days, with only a couple of mm of the download bar showing. I tried re-downloading it from the App store, but it won't let me do that as my code has already been redeemed once. I've got fast internet, and it's working fine - although the Mac is going SO slow I can only assume that it is *trying* to download something. Any ideas - I'm used to troubleshooting on a PC, but I'm nervous of doing anything to the Mac.

I bought Mountain LIon downloaded on laptop no probs.

running same Lion version 10.7.4 on main desk computer it states:

"We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."

any ideas anyone-

I have disabled time machine as suggested

As I already stated,

The version of the current OS is irrelevant to your problem. Your other Mac is likely not capable of running Mountain Lion because it is too old.

Given that it actually said your Mac was incompatible, then it is definitely not capable as opposed the the likely part I posted before.
