Download installation files from app store to make a bootable USB

Hi,
I just got a new mac mini with OS X Server 10.8.2. I want to replace the original hard drive with an SSD, but I have problems downloading installation files from app store to make a bootable USB stick.
When i click the Purchases button it tells me that OS X Server is already installed, and I'm not able to download the files.
I have tried all the diffrent forms of Option key clicks but nothing works.
Anyone out there who have a solution?
Is it possible to get the installation media in some other way?
By the way. Is it possible to install the non server version on a computer thats bought with the server version pre installed.
I thought so. But I read something about firmware problems on a forum page?

Daniel

You cannot download Mountain Lion or Mountain Lion Server from the App Store if it was pre-installed on the computer.
You can call Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be willing to arrange a download for you. Or you can reinstall via Internet Recovery: OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
No, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store on the computer you want to install it if it now has Snow Leopard or Lion running.

Installation software from app store unable to be verified.

I received the following error when trying to install OS X MAVERICKS today.
"This copy of the software Install OS X Mavericks can not be verified. It may be damaged or manipulated during download."
I removed the downloaded file and downloaded it again from app store and tried to install it again but got the same error message appeared.
The version is for Swedish so the message above is a translation of the error message. I have an IMAC 11.2 using OS X 10.6.8 which is supposed to be compatible with the update.
Any suggestions on what to do is highly appreciated?
Cheers!

Usually indicates that you're Internet connection isn't the best and the file's getting corrupted. Best is to visit an Apple repair station and see if they can provide the installer. Next, try from a different location or a friend's connection.

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list"

If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.

Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
open $TMPDIR../C
Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

Hello LellaRamos
For issues downloading from the Mac App Store, check out the articles below for issues with connecting and downloading from Mac App Store. I know one is for the iTunes Store but is good for all stores that Apple provides.

I download a game from app store and when i start to play my macbook heats up

when i download a game from app store and start to play it my macbook starts to heat up very quickly making me to delete the games in order to come to normal.why is that?i mean i wont be able to play any games ? because i tried that not only with one specific game but with many

The MBA may be used for light game playing. It's not designed for heavy games that demand lots of CPU and GPU power. So you need to determine if the demands of the games meet what the MBA can deliver. It's also possible you are trying to play a game version that is not wholly compatible with the version of OS X in use. This can cause issues with compatibility. It's important that your MBA possesses the minimum hardware needed for a game. Note that having the minimum hardware does not mean that the MBA is suitable hardware.

Only allow my kids to download freeware version from app store

Hello All,
I have created app store account, but I only want to allow my kids to download freeware version from app store..so the kids should ask me to login before they able to purchase something from app store..
I need advise..
many thanks in advance
Regards

What kind of advice do you want? We don't read minds here.
As long as you don't give the kids your password thay can't buy anything. However, your password is good for 15 minutes, if you walk away they could then buy something when you are not looking. So it is best to sign out of the account immediately after the free item has downloaded.
If you remove the bank card from the account they also can't buy anything.

When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user. How to change user?

Unfortunately there's no way around this. you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
Sorry.

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.

2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.

HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error

I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store it gives the error
We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
it installs on my older mac mini

Assuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.
