can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining,
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.

  • Can't download Mountain Lion on App store.

    I have been trying to download Mountain Lion on the App store.  It will not allow me, and continues to ask me to upgrade softare using another account that is not mine.  However, there are no upgrades in the upgrades folder.  I have tried reformatting Spotlight and deleteing the App Store cache.  Nothing seems to work.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Lion OS X down load from app store. Error message on instllation.Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have purchased lion os x and when i go to install it it comes uop with an error message of corrupted file. I deleted and then re installed but the same error.?

    Apple's final answer was like this.
    They know this problem and also know considerable people have experienced it. However only they can say is to use the outer network. In case we can't bring the machine to outside, we can download Lion OS in the other machine and copy the installer into the target machine.
    They refunded my bill because my machine at home is too old to download the OS. They told me I can buy the USB type of the OS. Today I checked the price of it and found it costs more than double of downloadable version!
    I remember the disk version of previous OSs were cheaper and that was almost same as the price of Lion OS downloadable version. Why should I buy such expensive USB version?
    I swear here that I never buy Lion OS until Apple will fix this problem!

    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • Can I download Mountain Lion now but install later

    I made a " Qualifying purchases between June 11, 2012, and July 25, 2012 " so I have until August 24, 2012 to download Mountain Lion for free according to <http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/>
    Can I download Mountain Lion before that deadline but install it later on?
    I'd like to go from Lion to Mountain Lion when ML has nay initial bugs resolved.
    Thanks.

    Yes, the installer downloads to the Applications folder, if after downloading it asks to continue to do the installation just close that dialogue.  Later, when you are ready to install click on the installer in the Applications folder and it will do its thing.
