How do I solve Error 1004 on Lion reinstall?

I wanted to erase my hard drive and reinstall the system and the apps I primarily use. I followed the instructions from apple, but after I sign in with my ID and password I get the Error 1004 and "try again later".
Starting to panic a bit because I don't have a physical copy of Lion to do the install. How do I get around this?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Exactly same issue here!!
I'm moving from a 24'' iMac to a 27'' iMac. Yesterday I was able to successfully wipe the HD and fresh install Lion on the old iMac (I'm selling it), but now when I'm trying to do the same with the new iMac I get this 1004 error out of nowhere.
I've already erased the HD on the new one so I don't really know what to do. I've tried signing in with my current iTunes ID on another Mac computer and on my iPhone and it works seamlessly. I only get the 1004 error with the Lion installation on the iMac.
Please help

    How can I solve error 1004?

    Did you try this for deleting photos that I posted in your thread ? Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.
    For '1004' then there are various 'solutions' mentioned from this post onwards which might work for you : https://discussions.apple.com/message/15652754#15652754 - different things appear to have worked for different people.

  • How do you solve error "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X" when trying to go back to leopard from lion?

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!
