Having Trouble Downloading Lion

When I hit the purchase button a Lion icon shoots down into the dock and just sits there saying "OSX Lion -Waiting" am I doing somethng wrong? Or is the whole world
trying to download this at the same time? I let it sit al night yestrday with the same results.
Running 10.6.8
  Model Name:          MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:          MacBookPro3,1
  Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
  Number Of Processors:          1
  Total Number Of Cores:          2

  Bus Speed:          800 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:          MBP31.0070.B07
  SMC Version (system):          1.16f11

I had the same problem.  First go to the purchases tag at the top of the app store.  Pause and then resume the download.  If that doesn't work you can follow the advice I got on the phone which was to drag the lion icon from the dock to the trash, empty the trash (it didn't even register as putting anything in the trash for me, just don't have lion in there), then go to purchases in the app store and restart the download.  Mine is coming along at the expected speed now.

    No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

  • Having trouble downloading itunes on my computer. i keep getting a error message that reads: apple sync notifier.exe- entry point not found.

    Hello, can anyone help me out there? Im having trouble downloading itunes on my computer.
    Ikeep getting a error message reading:
    #1  applesyncnotifer.exe- entry point not found.
    #2  the procedure entry point sqlite3-wal-checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library. sqlite3.d11.
    #3  service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device)
          failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • I am having trouble downloading attachments from email

    I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.
    So for now, iPad 2 IOS 7.0.4 16GB wifi/cell model
    I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
    I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
    I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
    I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
    Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
    Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
    Any one have any thoughts?

    What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

    I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
    Lg

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

    Hi ,
    I am having trouble downloading Adobe Air .

    Downloading from below link

    Also tried basic trouble shooting steps mentioned on website such as making sure that my browser is allowing pop ups ,etc
    I am using Mac OsX , 10.6 and browser is Safari , though i tried on the same machine wiht Chrome as well.
    Had a chat with one of the support executive as well , but he was also not able to solve my problem , he directed me to here. Please check why i am not able to download Adobe Air.
    Thanks
