I'd like to upgrade my Mac Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, not Mavericks.

Sometimes if you contact Apple tech support directly they will send you a link to access.
They did that for me a few months ago for iTunes 10 after it disappeared from the App Store with the release of iTunes 11.

Yes, that helps a lot. I've ordered ML from Apple. Sucks because I already
paid for it some months ago when I upgraded my MacBook, but there seems to
be no way to download now from the app store, even though ML is listed in
my purchases.

Anyway, thanks for the link!
Hi David,

On my son's computer there's ML installed from when I updated it for him. After reading your post, I had to check this out and it worked. I looked in the purchased tab and it said download. I clicked on and it re-download ML not 10.8.5 (latest), but 10.8.2.

David, try this, it might work…

Launch the Mac App Store and hold down the “Option” while clicking on the “Purchases” tab

Hope it helps

Thanks much! I tried that but it didn't work. However, after purchasing
Mountain Lion from the well-hidden Apple Store link, I received my redemption code today and am now in the process of downloading ML onto
my desktop. So I'm marking the issue as resolved.

SoundToys released a Mavericks-compatible update today; just got their email. I think we've all been expecting a 64-bit update from IK Multimedia for some time regarding SampleTank, but hopefully they'll still prioritize any compatibility issues with the ones they've already ported such as AmpliTube and T-RackS.
