Downloading Lion. App Store Issues?
So if the App. Store Icon is missing from my apps folder does that mean I can"t download anything from the app store? I've been trying to download Lion with no success?
Which Mac OS X do you have installed? You need to be running v10.6 Snow Leopard to install the Mac App Store.

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download -
Downloaded & paid App Store for OS 10.8 (Mtn Lion); purchase page indicates "error" & will not download. Help?

Press Shift key on boot, delete Mountain Lion installer from Applications, open App Store > Purchases and download OS X. If it doesn't help > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -
In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?
How do I speed this up. I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right.
The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

Have a LaCie external 2big RAID drive; two 1T drives in RAID 0 configuration (striped). Drive works perfectly as one big 2T external disk but Mac Installer (Lion - App Store download & Snow Leopard DVD) refuse to install OS X Lion or OS X Snow Leopard on RAID drive.
Previous RAID - two 500g's in RAID 0 had SnowLeopard/Lion installed and worked just fine as bootable drive.
Help!Keep in mind a RAID 1 only protects you from hardware failure of one of the drives. It does not protect you if the hardware raid/chip set decides to take a vacation. Also, if FCP corrupts a file, it is written as corrupt to both drives.
I'm a big fan of separate but equal. Two drives. One goes to the site, the other remains at the hotel. At night, you back up the site disk to the the hotel disk. If something happens to the computer and the disk at the site the next day, you at least have the material back at the hotel.
eggs. baskets. that sort of thing.
good luck.

Trying to downloads App store application for the sole pupose of downloading a purchased OS update 10.7. We cannot download the app store until we have a software update but need the software update to download the app store.
There is no Mac App Store app that you can download. The Mac App Store is installed with the update of previous installations of Snow Leopard to version 10.6.8. v1.1.
Does your Mac have OS X Snow Leopard installed? If not, you have to install it before you may go further. -
XCode 4.2.1 won't download from App Store
I am new to the developers world. So I decided with great excitment to download and start using xcode. I go to the app in MAS and it just won't download it gets stuck at 10 mb. So I try to download the dmg from the developers site. This time it seems successful. But then when I try to use the dmg it says the file is corrupt. I just cant get to download or install this application? Why does everything seem so hard with the new operating systems!?
I have not installed previous versions of this app and I am using OS 10.7.3, I am a paid developer account holder. All my specs seem to be fine to download and install, so why won't it work? Any light on this matter would be greatfully appreciated.
Regards,
Jamesfound this and it seems to have worked for the APP Store Issue.
Bad news is I have waisted almost 2 GIG of download getting them DMG from the Dev centre
I had the same problem on a MacBook Air that ships with Lion
This is how you fix it
0. Close Every App (Safari, iTunes, AppStore, etc)
1. Launch Finder
2. Press CMD+SHIFT+G (or click on Go then Go To Folder)
3. Type the following /var/folders
4. Open up Console (Spotlight Console and launch it)
5. Open The AppStore
6. Try to buy something free and you will see this message "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
7. Switch to Console and look at the error message
8/31/11 6:50:37.121 PM App Store: FRPurchaseManager: Preflight operation for 415571499 failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.appstore Code=0 "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." UserInfo=0x7f9b2464aa00 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=Cannot create PKProduct from "file://localhost/var/folders/3p/sflvgxwj3hs4kdkjpgb30r4c0000gn/C/com.apple.app store/415571499/preflight.pfpkg" Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1100 "The requested URL was not found on this server." UserInfo=0x7f9b2464ac00 {NSUnderlyingError=0x7f9b24648230 "The requested URL was not found on this server.", NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=file:///var/folders/3p/sflvgxwj3hs4kdkjpgb30r4c0000gn/C/com.apple.appstore/41557 1499/preflight.pfpkg/index.sproduct, NSErrorFailingURLKey=file:///var/folders/3p/sflvgxwj3hs4kdkjpgb30r4c0000gn/C/com.apple.appstore/41557 1499/preflight.pfpkg/index.sproduct, NSLocalizedDescription=The requested URL was not found on this server.}, NSLocalizedDescription=The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed., NSUnderlyingError=0x7f9b2464ac40 "The requested URL was not found on this server."}
In my case the problem was some file in the /var/folders/3p
5. Quit AppStore
6. I deleted the entire 3p folder (it gets recreated when you launch AppStore). If you really want to be safe, create a copy of that folder.
You don't need to restart. Just Launch AppStore and it works! -
Lion App Store on Mountain Lion MacBook Pro 2012
Hello,
I have a question for you helpful people. I just purchased a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion preinstalled. It is the Mid 2012 model with a Core i5 and 4 GB of RAM soon to be upgraded. This line of MBP originally shipped with Lion, but once they started shipping Mountain Lion, the same line of MacBooks began shipping with ML instead of Lion. I want to install Lion, even though I have ML on here now. I know that I can install Lion since this line of MBP originally shipped with it, but here is the question, can I use the App Store download. I tried Internet Recovery and that gave me ML, so I fired up the App Store and went to "Purchases" and re-downloaded Lion. My issue is that this line of MacBook Pro shipped with 10.7.4 originally so is the App Store version updated, and if not will I have any trouble installing the App Store version.
Thanks for your help,
MichaelI just wanted to update this so that anyone browsing the thread knew of the solution incase they wanted to try. You must have the most recent copy of Lion from the App Store. If Lion is already purchased, then simply click purchases and it will download the most recent version (10.7.5 at time of writing), thanks to mende1 for alerting me of this. Then you will need to create a USB from the InstallESD.dmg, there are instructions available everywhere. Reboot from the USB and wipe the drive by selecting the drive (not partition) and clicking "Erase Tab" then enter a name and choose "Mac OS Extended Journaled" then proceed to erase the drive. That will delete the Mountain Lion recovery partition as well as all data on the disk. Then proceed to install, which provided you have the latest version, will go on without a hitch. Lion is running beautifully, and much faster than Lion on my MBP. Mine shipped with ML yet Lion installed perfectly.
Just a word of advice, make sure you update ML all the way before you clean install Lion because the newest EFI update always helps.
And a big shout out to mende1 for helping me do this, thanks. -
I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.
Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

I wish to upgrade my Macbook Pro to ML from SL but told the only way to do this is by downloading thru App store. Is it possible to copy ML on to a USB and upgrade that way. I would like to have a back up of the OS installation files just in case i have a problem later. Please help me!
You can create an install disc but you would have to download Mountain Lion to do so..

My macbook software is up to date but I am still unable to download the app store, any ideas?
I have a macbook which is about 5 years old now and is not yet running OS X Lion. I checked for software updates and it says my system is up to date. Unfortunately it still wont let me download the app store without updating my software but there is nothing to update from what i can see. Im trying to upgrade to OS X lion but i cant get that till i figure out how to download the app store so if anyone knows another way to go about it I would appreciate that.
The Mac App store requires Snow Leopard (10.6.6) what is your OS

Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry App World.
could anyone pleaaase tell me what i an doing wrong? it would help soo much!
thank yooou ! xxIf you are unsure if your service plan includes access to AppWorld, then yes -- you need to contact them for assistance.
For BT file transfer, see this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!
