Tap Open > Install when is finishes installation. Finally, tap the Check icon to get the application. Scroll down to search for the app that you are looking for. Proceed to the Apps section on the lower part of your phone’s screen. Surely Apple can have the App Store detect when a Mac that accesses it can't upgrade to ML, and for those Macs the App Store can still stock Lion, not forever, but at least for a reasonable amount of time to give users who were caught off guard by the new requirements of ML a chance to upgrade legally. To download an App using iOSEmus: Launch the app from your device. Plus, since Apple wouldn't have to produce and ship hard disks, keeping Lion available as a download on the App Store would cost Apple virtually nothing. Apple will continue to support Lion for at least the next year and Apple can still make money selling Lion to all of those users who can't upgrade to Mountain Lion. So extending that model to the App Store would be well within the bounds of Apple's retail tradition. Isn't there some kind of aftermarket for developer seeded OSX builds? Or did they solve that problem? :)Īpple already has a well-established business model for selling older versions of its hardware and the software that's on them, and you can find it in the Clearance and Refurbished sections of the Apple Store. They have everything to gain from encouraging you upgrade hardware, and no reason to care if you choose not to. It's all hardware subsidies now.įinally, because you seem to have forgotten, Apple is the closed sales loop. What exactly is a discount price? We're not talking $150 upgrades anymore. No consumer expects to have a dead version with security updates if they bought it yesterday from the company what made it.Īnd seriously, ML is $20, L was $30, SL was $30. And I bet you'd see lawsuits insisting on it. With a legal copy under your Apple ID, you will always be able to get it again in the future without paying for it again.No matter what they might call it, selling fresh copies of old software implies that they're obligated to support it. It will download and automatically launch the installation. You must then download and install the 10.6.8 Combo Update to get the App Store installed.ģ) Launch the App Store and login with your Apple ID and password, which is the same one you use to login to these forums. Once the screen to choose a startup disk appears, choose the DVD and install Snow Leopard onto the hard drive.Ģ) Once the install is complete, your Mac will be 10.6.3 at the newest since that was the last version released on disk. Since you do own Snow Leopard, you have to do a two step reinstall to get back to Mountain Lion.ġ) Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and boot to it by restarting and holding down the Option key.


Apple will not help you reinstall ML from another user's account. In other words, you had been using an illegal copy of ML. You can't reinstall Mountain Lion without knowing your friend's Apple ID and password. I only forgot one thing, this version of system was bought by my friend and with his Apple ID.
