Need a Mountain Lion download link!

Had to start from original install disks on mid 2009 MBP when Mavericks upgrade failed miserably. Reinstalled up to Snow Leopard. My previous ML purchase was nowhere to be found (not in App Store). Spent $20 to repurchase and now Apple is sending it to my shipping address in a few days? I need a Mountain Lion download link! Time machine is formatted to ML. I'm overseas and spent a whole day downloading Mavericks - afraid to do that again. I'll stick with ML if I can just download it again.

One of these links should work for you:

There is no download link we can provide. Only the Apple Store can provide a download link for Mountain Lion. But I'm a bit perplexed. Mountain Lion is not and never has been available on a physical disk. Are you sure you didn't actually inadvertently order Snow Leopard? Or that they said that they'll send you the redemption code for Mountain Lion, which usually takes one business day but may take longer?

Regards.

I just purchased it yesterday. It said in my purchase that it would ship in 1-3 business days and asked for a shipping address and everything. My confirmation email lists my shipping address as well. I do remember something about them sending a redemption code so I'm hoping that sometime today I'll get the email with the code AND a link to download it.

Already purchased it that way. You'll notice under the price of Mountain Lion it says "Available to ship: 1-3 business days" and sure enough, you have to give a shipping address during purchase. Received confirmation of my purchase with shipping address listed.

That's just standard store-speak, since they're really not geared for non-physical sales. You'll be sent a redemption code via email in the next day or two which you will then redeem in the Mac App Store; no separate download link will be necessary.

It took a day and a half but I got my redemption code. Now the trouble is the app is in my purchases but when I click on the "Download" button it goes clear for a bit looking like it will start, but then goes back to the grey "Download" button with nothing starting. I guess I'll have to start another discussion...
