Bizzare Error message downloading & installing Lion from app store

I have a new  i7 2011 macbook pro 13 inch with snow leopard.
I have purchased Lion from App store but is unable to download and install it.
First time I tried to download it, it did not get downloaded so I cancelled the download.
Now I can see OSX Lion in "Purchased" in the App Store.
When I click "Install", I get the following message with two options "Cancel" & "Retry"
MZFairplay.frtoolFailure_message
When I click "Retry", I get the same message "MZFairplay.frtoolFailure_message" with same two options "Cancel" & "Retry"
When I click "Cancel", I get the following message "We could not complete your request: There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)"
Please help.

    I alreasy paid for it
    Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

  • HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error

    I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store  it gives the error
    We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
    I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
    it installs on my older mac mini

    Assuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

  • How to restore macbook after downloading Mountain Lion from app store

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion from the app store. How do I restore my Macbook to it's factory settings without the CD? (Since I downloaded it online without the CD)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want to reinstall the original Mac OS X version that came with your computer, you need the Mac OS X DVD that came with the computer.
    If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, the installer creates a recovery partition to reinstall OS X and do some maintenance tasks. You can access to it pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting

  • Download error os x Mountain lion from app store

    I am not able to upgrade to OS mountain i already have upgraded to the latest version of Lion and meet all the pre requestes for downloading OS X mountain. I incurred error " An error occurred" and i am stuck. Please someone guide me how can i download OS X mountain from app store

    The error refers to your RAM, not your hard drive storage space (which is not called "memory.") Mountain Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. Most likely you have only 1 GB installed.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion from App Store, but it says by disk is locked and won't let me choose the hard drive for installation

    I'm struggling to get Mountain Lion installed on my machine, but what is worse is that it has essentially rendered my computer useless (and of course I need to use it urgently). After downloading and installing from the App Store, I have run into some significant problems.
    On install, when prompted to "select the disk where you want to install OS X" the hard drive is greyed out and a message comes up that says "The disk is locked."
    So when I back out of the install, I am given the option for Disk Utility, Reinstall OS X (same results as before)  or Restore from Backup (not backed up).
    On the Disk Utility, I can hit Verify Disk and it names an error and says to hit Repair Disk. The error is an "Invalid Sibling Link. The volume Macintost HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired." Unfortunately, Repair Disk is greyed out and I can't hit it.
    What I want to do is just forget the entire process at this point and scrap the upgrade until I have time to figure out what is going on. Is there a way to abort at this point?
    Thanks for any help!

    Your welcome!
    You should always have and keep an up to date backup.
    Sounds like you need something a little stronger than Disk Utility. At this point I have no way of knowing if Disk Warrior can or will help.
    Depends..!
    If you do format and install, then Yes it will.
    If you reinstall OS X, then No it will not.
    Problem is that according to the Disk Utility message, I don't think that you will be able to install either 10.6 or 10.8.
    Those are very good questions. The only bad questions are the ones you have to ask yourself.

  • Problem downloading Mountain Lion from App Store

    I am unable to download Mountain Lion onto my iMac from the App Store. I have no problem downloading other software - including updates to Final Cut Pro X and several other programs. However, if I try to download Mountain Lion, it starts and then hangs at 142mb. Since yesterday.
    The iMac is 3.4 ghz Intel Core i7, with 8GB of ram, with a SSD system drive. It is currently running 0S X 10.7.5. I have restarted several times, and trashed the preferences and cache for the App Store. I also tried creating an alternate user account on the computer and downloading from the new user - it still hangs at 142mb.
    I have already purchased Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro, and that worked great. The App store recognizes that it is a purchased app - but i am unable to download past 142mb. My internet connection is solid, and I have restarted my modem - not sure what else i can do.

    I would first try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    If you continue to have a problem it may just be any issue with Apple's servers or those of your ISP.

  • Puchased mountain lion from app store and tried downloading via store 4 times, always rcvg an alert stating "error downloading"

    puchased mountain lion from app store and tried downloading via store 4 times, always rcvg an alert stating "error downloading"
    Is there any other mean to get the mountain lion.
    I ve a 512kbps connection.

    I believe you have correctly identified your 512kbps connection as the source of the problem.
    The Mountain Lion download is more than 4 gigabytes.  You should try hard to find a much better, faster, more robust connection.

    Just installed Outlook 365. Now getting an error message downloading pdf's from outlook re: licensing on my acrobat 9 standard. 148:3

    OFFICE 365 is a cloud version of OFFICE 2013. Full compatibility with Acrobat requires an updated Acrobat XI. You will likely have to store the file and then open in AA 9. To create a PDF you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin that has several issues.

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
