I can't download Lion from App Store - says an error has occured. Have rebooted and contacted Apple support. Can anybody help?

Every time I try to download Lion, the download, the download appears to start, but then stops, saying an error has occured, with nothing downloaded, and the App icon disappears from the dock.
Has anybody else experienced similar?

same problem and precisely with the OS X lion up to date program.
I called apple but they said there's nothing they can do for now. there are many problems they are trying to resolve and one of them is the up to date program.
the only solution available they said is to wait. but they didn't specify for how long.
One would think that they'd test their solution well when they took the decision to make the OS available only though the appstore or at least offer a back up solution should people be unable to obtain it like it is the case for us.

  • Can't download Lion from app store or anywhere else

    When I search for OS X Lion in the app store as directed on Apple's site, all I get are some related books and a few random apps -- not the system software itself. When I click the "upgrade to Lion" buttons on Apple's site, I get a message saying Safari can't open the page because it doesn't recognize an address starting with "macappstore."  I get a similar message when I use Firefox. The whole thing is very circular; the upgrade buttons lead nowhere, and the app store doesn't seem to sell Lion.  Any ideas as to what's happening, or, more important, where I can buy Lion online?  Thanks.

    You don't use Safari to open the MAS - it is in application in your Applications Folder and should be in your dock as well. Looks like this:
    If you launch that app, you will find Lion.

  • Can't download anything from app store or itunes. everytime i try to install an app i get "there is abilling problem with a previous purchase. please update ur payment method". i have recently changed my address and visa debit card. please help

    Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

    Try resetting the App Store.
    Reset       Learned from Old Toad
    and you can try:
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.

  • I can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac OS X 10.6.8

    can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac IOS 10.6.8, how I can download it?

    Simply, you can't download it.
    If you want to upgrade to iphoto 11 then you'll need to either
    1. Upgrade your OS to 10.7.5 - which requires a purchase of the OS
    Or
    2. Find an iLife 11 install disk. You may get one on Amazon or Ebay.

  • I can't find Netflix on desktop, can't download it from App Store. It shows it's open, but can't find it.

    I Can't find Netflix on desktop nor can download from App Store. Shows it's open, but can't find it. Any thoughts?

    I would quit the app, since you see it's open, and close all the other apps, then go to settings and reset network settings. The iPad will reboot. Then when it's back again, do a search for "Netflix" which will show you the location of the app (in the search results)
    From my search, you'll see I have it located in a folder I created ...

  • How can I download itunes when I get the following errors...have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7

    How can I download itunes when I get the following errors  ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
    This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
    Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • App Store - An unknown error has occurred

    Hi,
    Trying to update OSX. When I enter to AppStore with My Apple ID it always says - "An unknown error has occurred".
    I tried to create another account (as I read in some message form Apple Support) but it just keeps thinking, with no results.
    I would like to update OSX, but I can't find the way.

    Hi,
    I used to do it directly from terminal.
    mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces2.plist
    mv: it will move file NetworkInterfaces.plist to NetworkInterfaces2.plist
    Or you can go directly to the folder:
    cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    and the move the file
    mv NetworkInterfaces.plist NetworkInterfaces2.plist
    hope it helps

  • Can't download anything from App Store - MacBook

    I've been using Windows 7 exclusively on my MacBook via Boot Camp for several years. I've since deleted the Windows partition. I ran a Software Update and am currently running OS X 10.6.8. I want to upgrade OS X further but can't download Yosemite (or anything) from the App Store. I click "get" and the button becomes unclickable but nothing happens. I also can't open iTunes.
    I don't have anything on this computer that needs to be saved so I'm more than willing to restore, though I don't know how.

    I'm having the exact same issue in the exact same situation.
    I'm getting the error below in Console every time I try to install or download anything from the App Store. I suspect this has something to do with Safari and some Javascript code being used by Appstore pages.
    I wish there was a direct link to download Yosemit. I'm stuck now...

  • Could not download Lion from App store after buying it... Forbiden

    I Have the following error when trying to download:
    The server gave an error during download: 403 Forbidden.
    I can download other (free) apps ... Only this one not working

    I have the same error 403 forbidden error, even though it is showing as purchased in my Mac App Store, but I cannot find any trace on my MacBook Pro.
    I even went into an Apple store to try to get it installed today using their internet, but all I got is the same error message. Teething problems or something more serious??? Hmm
    No doubt Apple will sort it out before long, but maybe they should have also kept the old disc option too, at least until all the OS downloading problems are fixed, 2nd Lion release / update? It's a new way of getting the OS, & maybe this option is not good enough yet.
