Download of additional components always fail

I'm using an N8 which is running belle, i have this problem where everytime when i update or install an app which requires download of additional component, it always fail and it will display a message saying that network connection lost. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my connection because it happens every single time.
thanks in advance for any solutions or diagnosis of the problem.

  • Can't download the additional components needed to install mac os x, what shall i do?

    can't download the additional components needed to install mac os x, check your internet connection and try again-  that's the error always showing when im reinstalling the os on my macbook air. what shall i do? please i need help.

    Not sure 10.7.3 is still available over the internet download system. I think Apple waws more on the ball this time and switched the Recovery HD system download over to 10.7.4 fairly Quickly.
    That may or may not be part of your problem.
    It may also be your internet connection is flakey and is dropping the connection with the download server.
    If you are doing this over a WiFi connection try connecting the Mac to your router with an Ethernet cable.

  • Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X

    Hi there, I'm new and a complete novice, please try to have patience I'm hoping to learn but need the right guidance and assistance if possible please :)
    Firstly I have read the other articles sharing the same or similar title but most are mentioning using time machine.
    I have just fitted a new 1tb SSD to my 13" MacBook Pro after my previous hd was in an unrepairable state. I also purchased a Mac OS X Lion thumb drive with intention of having the latest software on my mac. I obviously don't have any information I want to recover I just merely want to install OS X Lion and begin as if my Macbook was new. But I keep getting the above message. I have gone to disc utilities went through the whole erase process which creates the new partition. Every time I do verify disc is says disc needs repairing so successfully repair it and go back to attempting to install Lion but again it gives me the 'can't download the additional components...' Message. I tried starting up in recovery mode, but from what I have seen on tutorials I should be given the choice of 2 or 3 drives in which to start up on, I only get the option of the OS X Lion thumb drive. Please help me, I really would like to do this myself as a sense of achievement.
    My warranty has obviously run out on my mac so this is the reason I changed the HD myself.
    Thanks in advanced and feel free to ask questions if you require more details on specifics :)

    Hi a Brody, thank you for taking the time to lend some advice. I am able to connect to the internet via wifi, although my internet is not the fastest, would it be better to connect the MacBook up to the router?
    I'm not sure if I have tried reformatting my SSD, would it be possible to have some instructions for that please?
    With regards to the  original install disc it was lost a long time ago, so was told this thumb drive USB stick with OS X Lion mounted (official apple OS X Lion thumb stick) to it would act as an install disc, would I require the initial install disc as it is a fairly old MacBook?
    Thanks for your help

  • Can't download the additional components needed to install mac os x lion

    I recently upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) to 16gigs.  The process went smooth at first.  Then the Computer would not boot and stayed on the white Apple screen with the circle spinning. A progress bar would appear and disapear but it would never get past that screen.  I tried to fix that but ended up backing up my hard drive and now I am attempting to restore the unit using "command + R" at startup.  I have eraseed and reformated the drive using with Disk Utilities OSX extend journaled. Then I attempt to reinstall and the unit is connected to my wifi which is fast and stable and I get, "can't download the additional components needed to install mac os x lion."    I have tried this many times

    I still have the 16gigs of ram in the macbook pro which I am told this unit supports both by OWC (which is where i bought it) both identical 2x8gig sticks ddr3 1333

  • I am using CS5 and when I try to upgrade the packages: Bridge, Fireworks, and Photoshop are downloaded but the upgrades always fail -- why?

    I can upgrade other components of CS5 but not these three. What can I do to get these updates to be processed on my Windows 8.1 64-bit platform?

    you probably moved something.

  • Downloading Additional Components

    Folks trying to install Mountain Lion and encountering a screen saying "Downloading Additional Components..." , be aware that this is often a RAM problem. What has happened is that the installer cannot locate the AppStore version and has fallen back to hard-coded and is looking to Apple servers to provide install data. I don't fully understand why faulty RAM causes this, but it's almost always the villian. The solution is simple, albeit a pain in the neck. Temporarily replace the factory RAM into your computer, finish the install, then upgrade the RAM again keeping in mind that you'd probably be better off buying new RAM, particularly if you have been experiencing kernel panics or components crashing (such as Silverlight while watching Netflix). Hope this helps !!!

    Maybe you created a bootable disk of Recovery instead of Mountain Lion, so it will download OS X instead of installing it from the USB disk. To create a bootable OS X disk, open App Store > Purchases, download Mountain Lion and install Lion Diskmaker > http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

I can't get beyond that poiint.  I had not trouble installing Lion yesterday, but three attempts to install Mountain Lion hand up at this same point.  What can I do about it?  (I'm installing to a Mac Mini that I bought in 2012.

  • Mountain Lion - Cannot download additional components???

    My MacPRO (2008) was running like clock work, but recently a gremlin has appeared. I have been on this forum before and so far all information has been really useful. The mac would start up and shutdown in one motion. I didn't even have enough time to bypass or boot from an alternate drive so it was off to the mac centre to find the cause. Weirdly enough they found nothing wrong and it was good to go. I decided this might be an opportunity to rebuild from scratch and so my 4 drives I zeroed the data and tried to reload Mac OSX 10.8. It starts all well and good before stopping after a few minutes and flagging a problem "cannot download additional components". What is causing this and how do i get around the problem. I would take it back to service centre but have lost confidence in there competency since everytime I take it there it comes out worse than it went in.

    Did you get to the point where you have downloaded the entire package from AppStore?
    Save the ESD package and prepare an install disk and do a clean install.
    Usually - there was one person recently here but cannot find buried in a thread, they had 10.8.2 and the installer is 10.8.3.
    What are you running now?
    As for the original problem, for which no problem was found... are you using an SSD to boot the system?
    How to do clean install of Mountain is same as was for Lion, with how to clone a system.
    Make sure you have 8GB flash drive, or even a small (16-32GB) partition (yes, you can setup an installer to run from hard disk drives to do a clean install to another drive or partition).

  • Downloading additional components for fresh reinstall of lion but does not restart when done

    i've attempted to reinstall a fresh copy of lion because ever since i had lion, my dmg files wont open, software would not update and many other problems. So i tried reinstall and i waited hours for them to download additional components. the bar is completely blue (completed) but it would not restart. do i restart it manually?

    Manually shut it down.
    I would then first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps

  • HT4623 update always fails when i download it

    I am trying to update my iphone 4 to ios6 but the update always fails during download

    I think I'd try to manually download the *.ipsw file specific for your device and install from that.  If you aren't sure what to do you can do a Google Search on installing iOS from an IPSW manually. 

  • My Download always fails.Nokia Ovi Player

    my download always fails. i can browse Ovi Music but when i click on download and i buy it my download fails.always.
    please help.

    Hi Richcss,
    Many thanks for your comments and suggestions.
    I last successfully downloaded music (to my home PC) with OVI Player v2.0.50727 on 4 April 2010 when I managed to download 12 songs in one evening. Nothing has changed since then (with regard to my DSL line speed, Internet service Provider, OVI Player version, router firewall settings, anti-virus software etc etc.), except the fact that I cannot download music without getting the frustrating "Download Failed" message.
    I have sent my ISP traceroutes from my home router to music.nokia.co.za to see if they can help identify a bottleneck in my DSL connection to the Net which may be the cause of a lengthy timeout (in one or more of the hops) that could result in the failed download. I tried a traceroute to music.nokia.co.za when my home PC connects via 3G, but unfortunately my cellphone provider blocks traceroute calls.
    Today, I tried to download songs at work (through a corporate firewall and proxy server) using Nokia Music v1.2.20226. The app wanted to update to the latest OVI Player version which I ignored. I successfully downloaded one new song.
    This is the first time I tried downloading a song using my employer's Net connection, as I prefer using my home PC for such "non-work" related tasks. I then upgraded Nokia Music to OVI Player (v2.1.10304), restarted my work PC, configured the proxy settings (corporate proxy) and managed to successfully download a new song. I tried a traceroute to music.nokia.co.za from my work PC, but unfortunately our corporate firewall blocks traceroute calls.
    The only conclusion I can draw from these tests is that the fault lies with my Internet Service Provider for my home DSL connection. I will contact them again for advice.
