Cannot get lion to complete download before pausing. It will not resume. Go back to app store. Install. Get same result. Help?

I have attempted to download Lion multiple times. Somehow it pauses during download and will not resume. I begin again at App Store. Start the install over. I have attempted this numerous times without success. Not sure why I cannot get the download to resume and I don't know why it pauses to begin. Estimated time to download....6.5 hours UGH. Help?

Your system should be OK. I suspect the issue may be with your Comcast service. Have you tried downloading anything else, for example navigate to 10.6.8 Update Combo and see if you can download that OK. If that works OK then you can go to the Mac App Store and navigate through their Support. You can find a link to that in the Mac App Store Quick Links.
The problem is we don't know where the problem is. One thing you can also do is find a free app on the Mac App Store and see if it will download OK. If it does then you should contact AppleCare or visit your local Apple Store or AASP for some help.

OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, see if the download is paused and if you can resume it. To do so, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and press "Resume" next to OS X Mavericks.
If the download does not carry on, I would recommend you to restart and start the download all over again.

Hi Goofy Goat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

My book download has paused and will not download

Trying to download a book to my iPad 1 and it has paused and will not restart. I have since successfully downloaded another book ( sample) and also it's downloaded too my phone- I cannot delete the partial download - or sync from my iMac
Any thoughts?
many thanks

Hello Louise,
I would be eager to download a book I purchased as well. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the book does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the book from the list of past purchases. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the book, you will not be charged again. You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the book, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Mavericks download was interrupted and will not resume

I'm upgrading from 10.6.8 that is current and updated to Mavericks. I began the download, all was well until about 3/4 the way through and my internet connection was interrupted. I received a warning window saying that the download was interrupted and I lost my internet connection. I reconnected to the internet and I cannot seem to get the download going again. The app icon that was downloading on my icon bar is no longer there, the App store does not give me the option to resume the download, I've followed multiple walkthroughs detailing how to restart an interrupted download to no avail. The App store 'purchases' tab has OS X Mavericks on it with the option to download and nothing else. I've clicked the download button to either restart or resume and I get the gray wheel of fortune and when that stops spinning, nothing happens. The gray download button turns white while the grey wheel of fortune is spinning but shortly afterwards it returns to a dark gray. I've navigated back to the OS X Mavericks page and the download option says 'downloading' but as far as I can tell, nothing is happening. I have no icon on the launch bar showing that it is downloading and my network monitor does not show that I'm downloading anything. Also, going to the 'my account' tab in the App store and looking for 'hidden downloads' is unsuccessful. When I open the 'my account' tab, I don't even have the option to view any downloads, only account information and my account nickname.
For reference, I'm deployed over seas with a poor internet connection. This is now day 3 of trying to download OS X Mavericks, so any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, then I noticed it was downloading even while it was showing paused. After clicking resume, look at your Launchpad icon and see if you have a progress bar below the icon.

Adobe Media Downloader pauses and will not resume (June 18 deadline!)

As an Adobe Photoshop Elements subscriber, I scanned and stored 924 pictures, most of them TIFFs of original family photos from the 19th century. Adobe has emailed me to download all the TIFFs before June 18 because of the platform change to Revel, which does not support TIFFs. As instructed, I have downloaded and installed AdobeAir and Adobe Media Downloader and I have made numerous attempts, on two different PCs (both Windows 7), to make the download. Each time, Media Downloader pauses, usually at about image 400, and says to check if the disc is available (plenty of room on my drives, and I have also attempted with a clean external hard drive) and then to resume. Clicking "resume" just brings up the same message endlessly. So I restart Media Downloader and it begins the process again at image 1, only to eventually pause again and ask me to resume. So hard drive space isn't the problem, and my ISP is Verizon FIOS with measured speeds above 75/35, so these pauses shouldn't be being caused by network speeds.
Given the time constraint, I tried to resolve this problem today through Adobe's "pay-for-help" telephone line, but was told that the only support for Adobe Media Downloader is through this forum!
Suggestions on how to make a complete download of my TIFFs when Media Downloader keeps hiccuping?

Hi, Pattie. I uninstalled Adobe Media Downloader, downloaded it again
and reinstalled, began "Download" to a new external hard drive with 1.81
TB of available space (total download is 3.71GB) ... and got to
"Downloading 9 of 924 items" before getting the error message: "The
Download has unexpectedly paused. Please check if your drive is
accessible and click on "Resume" to continue your download." I click on
"Resume" but it just brings up the same error message repeatedly. So
please help me with an alternative method.

OS X Lion stuck on pause and will not resume

I have tried multiple times to install OS X Lion on my iMac, however, now it simply says that is stuck on pause, and even if I try to resume the download, it won't do anything. We have tried restarting the computer multiple times, but no matter what it simply stays stuck, or when we cancel it, which is what it about the only thing it will let us do, and try to reinstall it again, the icon looks like it's going to the dock and then disappears. I'm at my wits end, and I don't know what else to do. Can someone please help?

One thing worth noteing;
I've also jumped thru many hoops as posted !
I now seem to be downloading and have come to realize
the progress bar is finally showing progress YEA!
[ it wasn't apparent initially with small dock icon. ]
I have SBC Global DSL which only has 1.77 mpbs with busy 4 user LAN.
be patient ... apparently it can take a while.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I can not download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store. I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

I am currently running OS X Yosemite on my MAC. I cannot download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store. I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

iPhoto 8.1.2.
OS X 10.10.2 is correct.
Your only options are to:
1 - upgrade to 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0
or
2 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from an online retailer like Amazon.com , install iPhoto 9.0 and upgrade it to 9.4.3 via these updaters:
update to iPhoto 9.2.1
update to iPhoto 9.3
update to iPhoto 9.3.2
update to iPhoto 9.4
and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3
From there you may be able to get iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store but not sure.
