Can't download Lion: "There was an error App Store (100)" !!

Hi All,
The App store has an error when I try to buy Lion, and prevents me from doing so!
I get two messages:
"The item is temporarily unavailable, please try again later"
followed by,
"There was an error in the App Store (100)"
I have retried several times without success.
My guess is the App Store can't cope with the download demand.
Anybody else had difficulties trying to buy/download Lion?

The support article above may be correct. I eventually (30 min) after quitting and restart the App Store and retrying to purchase Lion many times, I was able to download it. This problem has never happened before with any previous App Store purchases.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • How/where can i download iwork in its entirety the app store talks about iwork but i cant locate it

    How/where can i download iwork in its entirety the app store talks about iwork but i cant locate it

    iWork is Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    Buy all three from the M.A.S. and it is all yours, cheaper and installable on all Macs that share the same Apple I.D.. However I have heard, but can't confirm, that that doesn't quite have everything the DVD version had.

    I have a problem .. I can not download and update some applications from App Store as it asked me for apple ID I don't know this email.. How I can solve thi problem

    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

  • I can't download iPhoto 9.5.1 from App Store. Can anyone help?

    After I made the up grade Montain Lion to Mavericks I had many problems, I have a macbook pro early 2011, and it was impossible to use.
    So yesterday I decided to do a clean install of OS X 10.9 system and reinstall my personal files and programs from the App Store.
    But when you try to install the latest verssão of iPhoto iPhoto 9.5.1, when the download is approximately 10.3 MG of 1.15 GB it starts to reboot again to appear the following messages ...
    "iPhoto failed to download
    Use the Purchases page to try again.
    An error has occurred during dowload"
    I rebooted the system, I deleted the download and started again, I contacted apple support, already tried by the flaps of purchase and also by safari.
    Can anyone help?
    Nothing worked so far.

    Could be a few things....
    Make a new user account (at least for testing purposes), and try to pull the install through there...

  • How can I download new software without the mac app store

    I have tried to obtain new software since lion came out and have not been able to do so because I do not have the mac app store on my mac book pro. There is no hard copy of the new software so I find myself pretty much stuck.  Is there anyway i can get around this?

    You need 10.6.8 or later to access the App Store. Start with:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    If you need Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay

  • HT3702 can i download free content from itunes and app store without any billing information?

    I am a iPhone 3gs user firmware version 3.1.3 . the question is can i download free content from itunes and the app store without billing info ? please help !

    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.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

    Hi, i can t dowloaded up dates for pages and numbers from App stores. Get an the following error message : " une erreur est sruvenue, veuillez consulter la page achat"

    I managed to solve my problem without spending 4 hours going to Apple Store.
    I don't know why, but Yosemite somehow decided to restrict permissions literally to itself.
    1) you need to enable seeing hidden files - paste this in terminal "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES"
    2) find the folder "private" and select "get info"
    3) give to user "wheel" (this is OS X internal or root "admin") permission to "read and write" this folder and all its contents. I also added user "admin" and gave permissions to "read and write" all the same as to "wheel", just in case.
    4) repair permissions, restart your computer and reset PRAM
    5) go to App Store and try to update your system.
    6) if all worked fine, don't forget to paste in terminal "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO" to hide all hidden files.
    Enjoy updated system.

  • IMac can't get online: "There was an error joining the Airport network "X"

    This didn't use to happen, but now I can't get my iMac (Intel) online. We have a wireless network that works on all the other computers in the house (currently 3). My laptop can be placed on the same desk and connect to our network without any trouble, but the iMac won't. The iMac picks up 8 other networks in the Airport menu--one of which has no security but still doesn't connect to the Internet--but our network's name does not appear in the list and repeated attempts to write it in while choosing "other" lead to the error message in the subject line. The Powerbook, however, picks up 2-4 other networks and always has 4 bars for our network.
    In the past I've been able to correct this by restarting the iMac, but that no longer works--only other change noted is the increase in other networks in the neighborhood.
    Any one have any ideas about how to remedy this?
    Many thanks,
    Anne

  • I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

    Hello,
    I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
    I really need help.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
