How can I restart a failed download?

Hello everyone. I just bought Mountain Lion a few days ago, and it started downloading happily in the launch pad but around 25% downloaded, my system restarted as another software component was doing an update and forced a restart. Ever since then, I can go back to the Mountain Lion feature in the app store, click Download, and re-enter my credentials, but then it just sits there. I then try clicking "Download" again and the little spinner spins for a second or so, then nothing. No new download in the launch control window, no obvious download point of Mountain Lion.
So how can I force my MBP (running Lion) to restart this download & install?

Thanks! This was the key I needed. It didn't work on first try, but once I signed out, restarted, then signed back in to the store, it did start... it's downloading now!

    I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • How Do You Restart a Failing Load Plan

    If a Load Plan step fails, say because of some bad data or a bad join, I know how to correct the error and restart the failing step or the failing task in the Operator.
    How do you restart the failing Load Plan or any higher level step in the Operator?
    Right now my Load Plan steps all say 'Restart from failed task'.
    I can't see the Load Plan itself in the Operator, so I can't restart it directly.

    In the Operator, there is an accordion section labeled "Load Plan Executions". You can restart from there.

    Hey there susnil,
    It sounds like you have an image on the screen showing to connect the device to your computer with the usb cord but iTunes and the computer are not recognizing the iPhone. According to the following article you should choose one of these articles to help that depedning on your operating system:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    When you can see the device in iTunes, I would follow the same article to help with getting out of Recovery Mode.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

    How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

    Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

    I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

    Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

    There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:
