Receive error 403 when redownloading OSX Lion to primary HDD, help please.

I always install new versions of any operating system to a secondary drive until most bugs and compatability issues have been addressed. When Lion was first released I knew there were many issues with much of my photography editing software, which is the primarry reason I use my 15" MacBook Pro (meets all requirements for Lion.
In this case I used an external firewire 800 HDD with Snow Leopard as the OS. All went well with my upgrade and I had installed only software I knew was Lion compatable. Now with the release of Lions second update and the updates for previously incompatable software available I attempted to install (and even purchase another copy) Lion on my primary HDD.
Since I have purchased one version of Lion when I login using my only Apple ID, apples website recognizes my previous purchase, will not allow a second purchase (the price icon changes to install), but when I attempt to install Lion again I receive an error message "unable to perform, error 403.
If I create a different Apple ID will I be allowed to purchase, download and install Lion on my primary system drive. However since I've been reading discussions others are having and I can now use my computer as a dual boot machine I might just leave well enough alone. The only problem I have now on my Snow Leopard OS is Software updated iTunes and now it's all messed up so I'll save my library and roll iTunes back to its previous version.
Does anyone have a better idea about how to proceed or any precautions to mention about attempting to restore iTunes to its prior version. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated thanks, Bill

If the system is way too slow is probably the hard disk that has problems.
As for hardware test, you need your original Snow Leopard installation disk. Start the Mac with the DVD loaded, press and hold the D key until you see the Apple logo, then release the key and wait until the program starts.

    getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
    Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
    Thank you

    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
    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.

  • Error message when i start iTunes 7...HELP PLEASE!!

    whenever i start up itunes 7, i get an error message, and the details read:
    This error report includes: information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occurred; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your Digital Product ID, which could be used to indentify your license; and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer.
    PLEASE HELP! I JUST GOT MY iPOD TODAY AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE JUST WASTED $250!!!
      Windows XP  

    OK first we will see if the issue is on the PC side and not the iPod. Uninstall iTunes,Quicktime, and the updater from control panel>add/remove. Uninstalling iTunes will not delete any playlist, songs, ect ect.
    Then run chkdsk in windows to correct any lost or damaged system files. To do this goto "My Computer" rightclick the harddrive (Usually C Drive) Select properties>Tools tab and under "Error checking" hit check now. In the following window that appears, put a check beside "Auto fix file system errors" hit OK then hit yes in the next window. Reboot and after the check is done it will boot back into windows
    Now disable any antivirus/security/norton/mcafee products then download/install the latest iTUnes here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and iPOd updater here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If this does not work check the system for malware (General term for adware and spyware) with Ewido, this program tends to catch alot of malware that messes with iTUne and iPod software http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when converting PDF to word?? help please!

    I just subscribed to the ExportPDF but is not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Conversion Failure" when trying to convert PDF file to word! I don't know what to do.

    HI tatamene,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document.  For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
    Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    What operating system and browser are you using?
    How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
    Is the computer that you're using networked?
    Do other files convert without error?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    We purchased Licensed version of Red Hat Linux Oracle for our network server. My boss wanted a simple way of installing Samba on it so that the server can be used for file and printer sharing. We have an active directory on our network and couple of other Windows servers as well as other Red Hat servers. He wants to install Samba on that licensed version so that it can primarily be used for file storage and sharing, he wants to be able to connect with gui type interface to this server from windows machines and linux machines and he wants for this Red Hat Linux Oracle machine to show up in active directory.
    Aparently when we went to Applications, Add Remove Software in Red Hat Fedora Samba was not in there.
    When we go to System, Administration, Server Settings, Services, Samba is also not there.
    Nowhere can we find an easy way of installing samba on this Linux OS.
    I went to your site, signed in, (previously there was only 1 channel available there, I have just recently found and added all the channels that were aplicable to our system) and downloading them now to another version of the same type of Licensed Red Hat Linux Oracle. Hopefully when I use Software Updater in System Tools it will load the packages we are loking for (from the channels I selected on your website). Once that is done I think I could just go to add remove software and install the packages that I need from there.
    I am still not sure why I set out to install repositories on this version of Linux, perhaps I mistakenly thought that once everything is installed (according to directions at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html) on the machine in question I would be able to use that same machine to get the packages for that same machine. We were in such a rush and desperate to put the server on to the network it did not dawn on me that this scenario is designed to have one serve on the network that holds repositories and other machines connect to it for packages.
    I think I am on the right track in my logic, log in to your site with the CSI number, user name and password, select ALL the channels versus only one, save the search, then from the machine update packages, then add new software and Samba Should be in there. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
    This version of Linux seem like a very reliable version of OS and I would hate to give up on it, especially since we already bought licenses for it, its just that we don't have that much experience with it and I would upreciate all the info that you can give us for it. I am sure that everyone at SMMJ will upreciate you for it.
