Download Moutain Lion error

I'm trying to download Mountain Lion from the App store on my mac pro so I can create a bootable installer on a usb drive. (Need to do a clean os install.) When I try to download it from the app store in the Purchases tab I get an error 1004. I can only find solutions to this regarding the app store on a ipad or iphone, but not on the mac pro.
Any suggestions??

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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Can't download Moutain Lion

Hello ,
Can´t download Mountaimn Lion. When clicking on buy it says (German) :
"Die Produktverteilerdatei konnte nicht überprüft werden. Möglicherweise ist sie beschädigt oder wurde nicht ordnungsgemäß signiert."
What can I do ?

I don't know. Can you explain exactly what process you're taking, and what happens when you try?
Also, are you absolutely sure your Mac meets the following specs? What year is it?

Can't download Mountain Lion - error message

The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

Spotlight won't find it as it's a system(-ish) file, so doesn't expect you to be nosing around in there!
You should see sub-folders below /var/folders. All I did was explore these sub folders (and any sub-sub-folders etc) until I found the com.apple.appstore file. Then (peeking from behind my hands) I deleted it.
I found mine in var/folders/gn/hdq2sz..../C
Then disable everything you can in Virus Barrier and try and install from the appstore again. I can't remember if I rebooted before retrying or even quit and restarted app store, but it might be worth doing that if it still doesn't work.
Good luck.

Cant download mountain lion.. "osx cannot be installed you have s.m.a.r.t. errors"

my computer has never had a problem it is the newest imac and i download things everyday with no problems ever...
for some reason when i try to dl the new mountian lion it first says os x cannot be installed on mca hd.. and somthing about s.m.a.r.t errors..
so i went to disk utilties the top drive 500.11 gb wdc wd500... is in red and says this drive has a hardware problem that cant be repaired back up as much of the data as possible and replace the disk..
then on the bottem it says s.m.a.r.t. status failing in red...
again i never had a problem with this computer and still dont have a problem with downloading anything except for this moutain lion..
also im on the latest osx 10.7.4

You should always be doing regular backups. Disks can fail at any time; so can other components; directories can get corrupted beyond repair, users can make mistakes, etc.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
If you don't like Time Machine, see Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for some alternatives.
Did you purchase AppleCare with your Mac? If so, the drive will be replaced at no charge.

Try downloading it in safe mode. Hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode, and then, open App Store > Purchases, and download Mountain Lion.
If it doesn't work, contact with App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages"

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages' or any other apps. I keep getting an "error" and it says credit card processing is temporarily unavailable......help

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference...

After downloading Mtn Lion, I get an error msg when trying to use a link in mail. Says no associated application can be found. Any suggestions?

After downloading mountain lion, I get an error message when trying to use a link in mail. One mail account on the same computer is fine, but not the other one. Any suggestions?

I went to the Apple Genius Bar for help. Somehow when I downloaded Mountain Lion one of the mail accounts on the computer changed from an IMAP account to a POP account. The POP account doesn't enable the links in email. It was a quick fix. Just go to prefrences in your mail account and change it to an IMAP account. Hope this works for you as it did for me.

HT201364 I am unable to download a purchased copy of lion or moutain lion

I am unable to download my copy of lion or moutain lion in order to upgrade my 2006 macbook!

What is exactly is the problem?
If you are signed into the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID that purchased them then they should be listed under the Purchases tab and be available for download unless they are already on the computer then it will say "Downloaded". In that case they will most likely be in your Applications folder. If not use Spotlight to find them.

can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining,
I alreasy paid for it
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.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
