Why can't I download the Mac OS I just purchased?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

I just purchased Lion OS.  Why can't I download it from the website?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.

  • Why can't I download the TV episodes I just purchased?

    I just purchased ROME season 1 SD for $20 and the episodes are not available for me to download. When I purchased, I downloaded the first episode. I have gone to the purchases quick link and it doesn't recognize that I own it nor is there an option to download. I have checked my available downloads and they do not show. Please help me get my money back or to retrieve the product I purchased.

    Have you tried clicking "iTunes Store", then "TV Shows" and click on "Purchased"? You should see the shows there. Click on the show and then "Episodes". You should see the episodes listed and click on the little cloud icon and it should start downloading. (Note: It might prompt you for your password)

  • Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

    I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
    Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
    So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
    So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • Why can't I download the new version of Itunes?

    Why can't I download the newest version of Itunes? My Itunes program tells me an update is availible but when I select to download nothing happens.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

  • Why can't I download the waiting songs on my iTunes? I have over 2gb storage free

    why can't I download the "waiting" songs on my iTunes ? I have 2gb of free storage

    I'm guessing because the servers or part of the network is still overloaded by millions of other trying to do the same.
    Some seem to think this helped:

    There is no need to keep re-buying it.
