Download older Version of Mountain Lion from App Store

Hi,


Since i have lot's of problems with 10.8.5 i wanted to know if there is a way to download an older Version of Mountain Lion from the App Store?


I tried yesterday but it auto downloaded version 10.8.5. I tried to backup from time machine but this screwed up things completely...

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Well, if you have not installed any third party software, than I really don't know why there would be a problem. Have you checked what is in your login items? Other than that, I am out of ideas - unless someone else comes up with something, I'd make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar; the advice and troubleshooting/diagnosis are free.


And for future reference: if you make a bootable clone of your system before doing an update (or upgrade), you can easily revert to your previous version if there is a problem: simply boot from the clone, wipe the drive, and clone your old system back.
