There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac or virtual machine running that operating system.
For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.
Below is the detailed instruction how to do it. Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down.
Locate InstallESD. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks. If your Mac runs macOS Sierra Instruction to downgrade from macOS Sierra.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact.

Reply Brooklyn-Al Sep 15 Why the file size difference? The App Store experience was not good as far as downloading goes, the download quit several times and an alert window popped up that gave an option to "retry".
It took the better part of a day to get this beast downloaded yes, I have broadband. As for the OS itself, I'm not so crazy about it. More bells and whistles, seems to me. Boot from another partition or drive, other than the one being upgraded. This ensure the partition to be updated is completely accessible and no files are open or in use. In this day and age of inexpensive supersize hard drives, there's no reason not to have an extra partition to boot from for situations like this.
It doesn't take much space. A bare bones install of Mountain Lion will fit on a 10 GB partition. If unable to boot from another partition or drive i. Go have some coffee while the upgrade is in progress, really you don't need to be working at the same time, those 15 minutes are small compared to the time you will waste if the install goes bad. I run the Combo updater, even if I'm just upgrading from one point release to another. For newbies, Apple releases OS updates in two forms, 1 a smaller update that updates from the immediate prior release, like if you have For example the Why run the combo, even if just upgrading from the previous point release?
There have been times when Apple has forgotten files in the point upgrade, and the point upgrade is based on just covering the delta between the two points releases. I do not have any proof of that, this is a personal opinion, I could be wrong, but in my experience I have had good results always using the combo. Besides if you read any of the Mac publications and tech pundits, nearly all of them recommend using the combo as well.
If you have multiple Macs, or work in a multi Mac shop, it's also a lot simpler to keep one combo updater on hand, than multiple point updaters. Hopefully, if you follow these steps it will minimize the possibility of those spurious, hard to pin down, system hick ups that are often reported here. Lastly, laptop users with smaller drives that feel they can't afford to set aside 10 GB for a boot partition, invest in an external drive, it's well worth it. If you have a Time Machine drive, you can even partition off 10GB on that.
Good Luck! Every time I try to use it to update OSX it grinds slowly away for a short while and then gives up the ghost and declares a fault. I suspect that the Software Updater cannot handle the load on it. I find it is far faster to download updaters for OSX directly from the Apple download site. I've been sending out feedback reports to Apple with regards to this particular issue i.

I have gone back to Reply 3 Comments Frosty Sep 13 Reply RavenNevermore Sep 12 Mountain Lion has been very fast and stable on my machine. The only exception—and this seems to only be related to my user login, and not others on this mac—is a very long wait after the desktop loads, before I can do anything.
Several minutes at least. But since I unusually put it to sleep, that hasn't been a big issue. I'm guessing this is the last update until It's been a fine ride so far. I clicked the restart button and it restarted but after seeing the Apple logo I got a blank screen.
I waited about 6 or 7 minutes and it still didn't resume the restart I just sat there with a blank screen. I finally did a "hard shutdown" and after i did I started my MacBook Air and it restarted and all appears just fine.
I don't know why it did what it did but all appears to be OK. Generally speaking it seems it is rarity if you report a bug radar. Reported bugs do get dismissed as "duplicates" of someone else's report and then not only are they not fixed, there is no visibility of them any longer. I have bug reports in the Apple reporting system that have been there since , open, lingering.
In short, if you updated to I'm not sure what this piece of shtako does, but it behave suspiciously similar to the QuickLook process that also used to crank up the CPU for an inordinate amount of time to make movie files QuickLook-able.
I hope Apple dumps or better tunes this loser as soon as possible. Still running OS X I just don't want to upgrade, but I suppose I will have to eventually.
My desktop's hung at the grey linen screen with jsust a cursor showing after this update. I repaired permissions and updated using the combo updater - as I always do with point updates. Don't know what to do next Reply Ronl Jun 5 I expected more for this release of ML and I agree that something should have been done about the "fuzzy icons" which are a pain at times.
But on the whole this is a good update and I detect that Safari is running a little faster with this update or is it my imagination? This has annoyed me ever since OS I currently use OS But, this has always been an easily fixable problem. All that needs to change in the operating system is separating these two commands with some other existing command from the File menu, or more elegantly, separating them with a dashed or hyphenated line.
Reply 4 Comments iMacintosh Apr 4 So far so good, at least for me! Googling about, I found reports of a similar bug in previous incarnations of OS X. This is a show-stopper for me since adding that third phantom display degrades performance to an unusable state, especially in relation to video playback.
I am guessing it is a problem with the updated graphics card drivers in this OS release. I've zapped the PRAM, trashed windwoserver. Very aggravating. Was a little apprehensive after reading some of the comments, but all seems to be well here. Reply Libertyforall Mar 17 Maybe its being thorough so that on restart potential problems are fixed. Looking on the positive, Messages for me finally logs in correctly at each startup, Safari appears to be snappier and things look to be working a little bit faster.
After 14 beta's its probable that Apple have fixed many little niggly bugs, aka undocumented features and overall I feel that this update has been worth the wait Reply Peter-Van-Den-Einde Mar 15 A few comments today sound positive about It's a big issue for everyone using external screens with HDMI feed.

I'm also testing Unigine Heaven and valley, both see a good improvements in speed compared to I will pass on this update I have no interest in the esoteric issues of such high concern to apple geeks in Cupertino, CA 5 0 Reply Edgarcabrera Mar 14 So far, no problems and the system seems a lil more responsive.
I updated via App Store. I've been running with Lion for about a year now and have been generally satisfied, learning to live with the perplexing decisions Apple made with the interface. Yesterday, I decided to give Mountain Lion a try. I have been satisfied in the past with the few amount of problems I have encountered migrating to a newer version of OS X.
This time was different. I have never encountered a more problematic update experience. Problems with Mail, general slow performance and high resource usage, constant spinning beach balls, all of my addresses disappearing from my Address Book or Contacts, as it's called in Mountain Lion.
The really surprising part of it all is I tried to do many internet searches to find answers to all the issues and even though OS X I appears that Apple just doesn't care and the user community doesn't seem to much care either.
Today, I downgraded my system back to Lion by restoring it from backups. I do not intend to upgrade to Mountain Lion again in the near future, if ever.
I seems that Apple has completely dropped the ball on this one as it's a complete disaster. I would strongly advise anyone considering upgrading to Mountain Lion to instead avoid it at any cost. If your system aint broke, for Gods sake don't try to fix it.
If this is the kind of shoddy product Apple is putting out now, I'm afraid their best days are behind them and it won't be too many more years before Windows is the only game in town. Reply 2 Comments Macguruguy Feb 9 Internet Explorer 10 is so fast compared to Safari. Apple makes great products, but the software is lacking. It is surely unrealistic to expect to shove everyone onto the Apple ecosystem like MS did with Windows in the 90s.
OK, that may be unrealistic these days in an Apple world where it's bossing things and open source is not the thing any more but that's what ML has to achieve if it's to be considered great. Reply Cerniuk Dec 12 What is worse is that every time a problem comes up, it can be googled and it appears that it is not an unknown problem and frequently something that has been lingering for a considerable amount of time with well defined symptoms not being addressed by Apple.

So many people are complaining about this on Apple's forums As it turns out, the crashing occurred due to an incompatibility with a third party eSATA card.
Once I removed this card, the crashing ceased. However, this problem did not occur under the previous versions of OS X.
