My laptop will not update os x mountain lion, it keeps saying Error every time I try.. why??

Why wont my computer update the new software ?

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today.  I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.
If you are trying to update iTunes, this link worked for me.
iiTunes 11.1.0

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • Cant download Mountain Lion, I get an error every time

    I have a 2012 mac book pro 13 inch model and I cant get mountain lion to download, It keeps coming up with an error. What am i not doing right, its a brand new computer and I shouldnt be having this trouble. the operating system is 10.7.4 currently.

    Helps to tell us what the error said...
    Try here >  Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    Might need to temporarily disable anti virus software.
    FYI, third party download managers may cause issues when downloading apps including Mountain Lion.
    Apps such as Net Nanny, Hands Off, and LIttle Snitch can prevent apps from downloading.
    Make sure you are using the same Apple ID associated with your Mac.
    Make sure you have the correct App Store country selected. Check the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store.

    I need to upgrade my first generation Macbook Air 1,1 to Lion OS x10. I need to install other  software that requires 10.7 also a java update that requires 10.7. I am currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my macbook Air 1.1 will not go up to Mountain Lion. The Lion software update 10.7 is no longer available from the store or downloads.
    Where do I get this?
    It was only released a couple of months ago.
    I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.

  • The text numbers 08 will not show up in mountain lion

    the text numbers 08 will not show up in mountain lion. i did a software update after i installed and it did not solve the problem.
    Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    dj,
    Restart the computer.
    Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.
    Check fonts and clear out bad ones in Font Book.
    Try in another User Account.
    Any luck?

  • Epson pro 3880 printer will not print photos with mountain lion

    epson stylus pro printer will  not print photos  using mountain lion ??

    The drivers that come in the box with the printer are already obsolete by the time it is placed into service. If Software update does not send you new epson drivers, check the epson web site.
    Remove [-] button and re-Add [+] button the printer after the driver update.

  • My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

    I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

    Run the cleaner, reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • HT1918 Hey.. I'm not able to download free app from App Store. Every time I try to do it a message encounters which shows some billing option. Please guide me someone. What should I do now?

    I'm not able to download free apps from App Store. Every time I try a message encounters me showing some billing information. That doesn't make any sense as I just need to download free app. What should I do? Please guide me someone.

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

    I am trying to download the update through my phone and it keeps saying error? why

    The servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today.  You might want to wait a while and then try again later.
