Downloaded Lion, but got error message and can no longer find it in my App Store purchases

I had previously purchased Lion from the App store for my iMac.  Today I went back to the App Store to download Lion onto my MacBook which is running Leopard 10.6.8.  At the end of the download I received an error message.  So I restarted my computer and went back to the App store to try again.  Now Lion doesn't show up in my purchases for download.  I can't find Lion on my computer either.  What can I do?

No, I don't.  Called Apple and they did some trouble shooting.  Turns out I had hidden my Lion purchase in the App Store by inadvertently clicking on the "x" beside the download/resume button.  Once unhidden, I was able to download and install.
Thanks for asking.
Cheers.

  • How can I download Lion if I can no longer find it in the App store?

    I have a MacBook4,1- 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I just recently upgraded my harddrive and memory to 4 GB. I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion from (Snow Leopard) but it says that my computer is incompatable. So I was trying upgrade to Lion but I can no longer find it at the app store. What should I try next?

    Phone the Apple Store and try ordering Lion.

  • Tried to install a new game but got error message "You can't open the application "XIII Install" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I have since read that Yosemite doesn't have the program. What can I do?

    Tried to install a new game that I bought (Xiii) for my MBP. All system req have been met and exceeded, however when trying to install it I get an error message saying "You can’t open the application “XIII Install” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have since read online that the operating software Yosemite has got rid of PowerPC applications, meaning I can't install my new game. 
    Is there anything simple that I can do to get this game to work. I'll be gutted if not as I have opened the game therefore the shop will not give a full refund, I'm sure .
    Regards

    A lot longer ago than that. PowerPC apps haven't been supported since Lion, 10.7.x.
    You may have just purchased the game, but the developers obviously haven't kept up to date with the requirements for newer versions of the Mac OS.
    You have three options, depending on how old your Mac is.
    1) If it were ever able to boot directly to Snow Leopard, you could create a separate partition and install SL onto that partition. Make sure to turn on the option during the installation to install Rosetta. That is OS X's PPC emulator.
    2) If your Mac is too new to install Snow Leopard, then you can purchase and install Snow Leopard Server within a VM, such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or Vmware.
    3) Use a separate older Mac for running outdated software.

  • Ipod touch passes sync test, but get error message and can't sync properly...can you help?

    I get an error message saying I can't sync my iPod touch 4th generation, but when I do the diagnostic test, it says it passes and is working properly?  The place I see it is in the playlists...like they won't transfer from my computer to the iPod...Recently Added, Recently Played...

    I tried everything suggested by the link you provided and it did not work.   I had been purchasing music directly from my iPOD for over a year.  I decided to start using my iTunes account and the first time I tried to sync I was prompted to "erase content and sync".  What happened was that the music was deleted from my iPOD and then it has never successfully sync'ed with iTunes.

  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

    The only viable solution is to upgrade to the latest versions of the PPC legacy software that will run under Mavericks.
    Except for the other viable solution:
    If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to a version of Filemaker that runs natively under Mavercks, you can run your existing version of Filemaker by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels:

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Why can't I find CarPlay on the app store?

    If you search for the app CarPlay on the apple website, it gives you all this information on the app. but I can't find it in the app store. I have searched "apple carplay" "carplay" and "car play" and I can't find it.
    Am I searching wrong? Am I missing something?

    That link didn't say anything about where or HOW to get to get car play, which was my question. All it did was tell you what it was and how great it was and who it was available for. So I did read the link I posted, before I posted. After tracking down a video through pioneer, it looks like if you have the firmware update all you do is plug in your phone and it loads carplay on the stereo screen.
