"An error has occurred" downloading Mountain Lion. What should I do now ?
"An error has occurred" downloading Mountain Lion.
I accidentally closed the application app during download of Mountain Lion and now it shows "An error has occurred"
In the application app there is a grey button next to the error message, if I click on it nothing happens
Mountain Lion is showing in Launchpad as waiting, if I click on it, nothing happens
What should I do now ?
Launch the App Store.
From the App Store menu bar (top of your screen) click Check for Unfinished Downloads
If that doesnt help, try here > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads

Sign Out of your Account... Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

When I try to do the iOS7 update, it keeps giving me an error message saying "an error has occured in dowloading." What could this mean? It doesn't tell me anything specific as the error...?
Got the same thing. Was in the middle of the download (11 mins remaining) and a blasted text message came through. Answered it, like a moron, and when I went back to download it gave me the error.. Very annoying. Anyway, perseverence paid off as after 10th or something re-attempt, it began again. (32 mins remaining). Like the guy above says. Severs will be going mental at the moment so stick with it.

My computer does not start download osx mountain lion what should I do, My computer does not start download osx mountain lion what should I do
What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

Try a different alternative to updating your iPad. If you are using the Software Update on the iPad then try in iTunes. The article below will give the different options for updating your iPad.

I have an earlier model imac, the 2006 24inch and im running mac os x 10.5.8, i want to update my system to the newest mountain lion, what should i do first?
To clarify;
Snow Leopard 10.6;
Lion 10.7:
Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store. -
I downloaded Mountain Lion onto my iMac. Now i want to upgrade my Macbook Pro (10.7.5) to Mountain Lion. Do i need to purchase another download?
One purchase is sufficient if both computers are owned by you and the ML version was purchased as an upgrade.

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??
How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable. -
I purchased Mountain Lion and it was downloaded upto 4.2 GB but then my internet connection went down and it started showing as 'waiting'. when the connection came back it didn't resume the download and vanished. On the 'purchases' icon in Appstore it says 'an error has occurred' and even after pressing download again and again The download is not starting. On the finder Mountain Lion Icon shows as waiting.
What to do? I have tried unfinished downloads section in 'Store' but it says no unfinished downloads. Please help.You can have iTS clear the DL que.

I do need mountain lion so I can use icloud. When I downloaded Mountain lion I couldn't find any of my docs because (as it turns out) my hard drive was split and so now everything is in sepperate places and I cant find bits etc. So....... I want everything to be in one place, easy to use as before. I have everything backed up to an external hard drive now.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I have been trying to download my copy of Mountain Lion for last 3 days and the download is stuck at 53.25mb. I tried all of the restart/ Cookies deletion that apple support staff recommended to no avail. Download starts from begining and once it's 53.25mb downloaded, the remaining time goes upto and beyond 650 days and counting.
Is there any guru, who can help me download Mountain Lion this year? Preferably in a days time !
Cheers!Doesn't strike me as a "high traffic" issue, if you pause the download can you open the /Applications/ folder on your Mac and see if the installer already present? If you can stop the download and delete the installer (because it is not finished), the try again?
If you've already done the above have you tried using Disk Utility First Aid from your Recovery HD?
Try to verify/repair the disk and see if that takes care of it. (Of course make sure you have a good, recent backup before trying this.)
If you're still having issues: re-install OS X from the Recovery HD, install all available software updates, try again. -
Whenever i try to access the itunes store, it just stays on the page saying loading but never loads and then the error appears. What other ways can i access the itunes store to check my purchases account?
Thankyou for your help !!
i was also wondering, the reason im wanting to access the itunes store is to check my purchasing account because on my account balance ive been overcharged.
I was charged $1.00, but i read that this is for authorisation purposes of my debit cardand that it'll be refunded back to me over a few days. However ive only bought one app which was $1.19, yet i was charged double so $3.38. Do you know whats wrong??
Also how many days does it usually take for the email receipt to be sent to my email and is this email the apple ID email address?? -
My iphone 5 will not update. Have tried several times. keeps popping up "software update failed"...Howcan I get this toupdate??
This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers
