Cant download purchase of OS Mountain Lion "The item you requested is currently unavailable in the U.S. Store" cant download my purchase

I can't download my purchase of OSX Mountain Lion. I get this message "The item you requested is currently unavailable in the U.S. Store"  I click on the download bar and nothing happens. I'm at my purchases page App Store. I have Mac mini and OSX Lion.

After a little reading on the subject and talking to Apple support. This is how I solved this problem. With OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, they have LaunchPad on the Dock. The little bar underneath launchpad will start blue as you click on download. Also double click launchpad and it will show the picture of mountain lion downloading. I didn't know about my launchpad, until today. It will take a while because my high speed Internet only goes 1.5 MBPS. and I have 4 GB TO GO.

  • Why everything i try to do on itunes it says item not avilable the item you requested is not currently avilable in the U.S. store

    every time i click on itunes store or library or anything i choose to click on it says item not avilable the item you requested is currently not avilable in the u.s store but i did not request anything but to open itunesstore or check my library out im so frustrated

    Similar experience here but finally succeeded! Here's the summary
    Decided to (finally) update MacBook from SL 10.6.8 to Lion (it can't run ML or Mavericks) so this week purchased from UK Apple store. Received redemption code from Apple via email after couple of days and successfully redeemed this in Apps Store.
    Under Purchases in Apps Store clicked on "download" and nothing happened! Clicking on the app name "OS X Lion" gave the message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store". Contacted support but got no useful help there.....
    Following day went back to Apps Store and tried again clicking Download - still nothing (apparently - see below) so started thinking upgrade unlikely and £14 wasted.
    A little later noticed new icon in Dock and investigating it said downloading Lion - checked Activity Monitor and indeed my internet connection was being hammered. At a little over 4Gb got an error message saying download could not complete (needless to say not happy) and download icon disappeared!!
    So with nothing to lose reclicked Download in Apps Store and again no obvious activity and this time no new download icon in Dock - decided to check Activity Monitor again (just in case) and again high level of download activity! Maybe, just maybe, I thought and after about 90 minutes the Lion install screen appeared!
    Have now backed up the Installer and successfully installed 10.7.4
    I can't offer any explanation why it finally worked - Apps Store still shows "Download" not "Installed" as I would expect and the item is "..still not available.."!

    Thanks for your prompt reply...but is there no solution to it...since the file download is almost 4.34gb..its a long download..internet is bound to go down for a while in such a long download..and whenever the net goes down for a minute or two I pause the download and restart..but everytime I restart it starts from the beginning...i believe for the earlier version i.e. Lion pause function was enabled and download used to begin from I have paused...I then successfully downloaded lion on the same internet network I now use at my home..Please help if you can or ne1 can..Many Thanks!!!

  • Catch 22 With Mountain Lion the Airport utility

    Mountain Lion the Airport utility tells me I need to download Utility 5.6 for my old airport express. I download it (not 5.6.1) and it tells me it can't be installed on my mac volume with 10.8. What next?

    What next?
    The workaround, since Apple does not give you one.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
    Or, if you have another Mac handy that is running Snow Leopard or Lion, you can install AirPort Utillty 5.6 on that device normally and use that Mac to configure the Express.

    There have been a few threads about this.  The feature seems to have gone missing in Mountain Lion even though the Help for Preview still mentions it.
    I've filed a bug report on it.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, the movies I create using iDVD periodically stop then resume abruptly when I play them back on my DVD player. Any ideas on correcting this?

    After upgrading to mountain lion, the movies/slideshows I create using iDVD playback in a jolting start/stop manner. This didn't happen with the prior os - playbacks were flawless. Any ideas, short of uninstalling mountain lion, on how to correct?

    I know this is not much help. IDVD and Mountain Lion are working perfectly for me.  I know many others that use Mountain Lion with iDVD also.
    I think your problem lies elsewhere.

  • After installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared

    after installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared.

    This is my problem too:
    All of my local mailboxes (On my Mac) disappeared from the sidebar.  However, I do not have the 'triangle' on the Inbox that I can turn to reveal the list of mailboxes -- that disappeared too (and nothing happens when I hover over "Inbox").  I do know that the mailboxes are still there, somewhere, because when I go to create a New Mailbox, I can navigate to "On My Mac" and the entire mailbox list shows up there in the dropdown.  How do I get them back onto my sidebar if the option to do that is no longer on the "Inbox" icon?

  • Is Mountain Lion the right OS for me?

    I currently own a 2008 unibody MacBook (5,1) and I absolutely love it. After nearly 4 years of use it is still running just fine. However, as everything in the tech industry, hardware and software move by way too fast and the newest Retina MacBook Pros with Mountain Lion are already on the shelves.
    I would like to keep using Apple's Macbook [Pro] line, I really do, especially especially the Retina MacBook Pro, but Mountain Lion seems like a complete garbage operating system for me. I don't use Calendar, Mail, Facebook, Twitter, nor do I own any iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad). I feel that Mission Control is a step backwards from Exposé/Spaces even though it "combines" the two, the full-screen apps animation is slow and delaying, even on the Retina MacBook Pro I'm on in the Apple Store as I write this, and the many many gestures is confusing to me. I use BetterTouchTool on Snow Leopard and I seem to get things done faster and more efficiently than I can in Mountain Lion.
    Do you guys have any advice for me? :/

    Given all you say, it certainly seems difficult to argue a "need" for Mountain Lion.  I would suggest that since your product listing shows 10.6.4 as your Mac OS X version, Software Update to 10.6.8 Combo so you have the end-product of Snow Leopard with all of its improvements and problem fixes.
    And then continue to enjoy your MacBook.
