Help with download of XOS Lion from App store

i am trying to download XOS Lion, but it is taking forever (like five hours) and it still does not finish nor install. Am I missing something? It runs on Core 2 dual and has 2G of Ram, still has 114G left.

The download speed all depends on the speed of your home internet speeds, not the computer. I have heard of some people having to wait 12 hours for it to download.
If you have an ethernet cable available, connect your Mac to the internet through there and it might help.

Help with downloading software I bought from a store.

I have bought Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition from a retail store. It came as a software download card. I submitted my student verification and it was accepted. I now have my new serial number. How do I actually download my software?? It says I have registered it but I don't know how to get it.

If the registration and verification went through, you have a download on your Adobe account. Otehrwise you can always download a trial version and activate it:

Are you trying to download apps from the Sudan app store? If so, you have to have a valid credit card and billing address in the country of the app store to purchase from that app store.
Some countries also have restrictions on the apps and functions allowed in their countries.

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.

Is there any other mean to get the mountain lion.
I ve a 512kbps connection.

I believe you have correctly identified your 512kbps connection as the source of the problem.
The Mountain Lion download is more than 4 gigabytes. You should try hard to find a much better, faster, more robust connection.

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.

Mountain Lion from Apps Store won't download?

Purchased Mountain Lion from Apps Store - but it will not havedoIwnload. The Icon just appears and it says " waiting " for an hour or so and does nothing?

Yes as long as these are both your computers. Transfer target disk mode, USB flash drive, external HD, DVD, Dropbox, etc
Are the computer close by and portable or at a distance?? This might dictate how you move your download.

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

Yes. Each one needs to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in order to re-download from the App Store unless you make your own USB flash drive installer:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

i have downloaded logic pro x from app store to my computer, can i transfer this to my bigger more powerful computer that doesnt use internet

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If your other Mac is compatible with Logic Pro X, simply copy Logic Pro X from Applications folder to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the other computer, and move Logic Pro X to Applications folder.

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

Memory = Ram, the 40G free space you are referring to is hard drive storage space available, 2 very different things.
In order to run Lion you MUST have at least a Core 2 Duo processor and 2G of Ram, to find out whether you qualify (and it seems as though you don't) go to
Apple>About this Mac: you will be able to see the processor type and Ram installed thus
If you have less than 2G of Ram you can install more, if however you have a Core Duo (instead of Core 2 Duo) you can not run Lion.
