How do I tell if Lion is downloading?

All I see is a circle spinning clockwise in the app store

To me at this time if I click on nothing happens Purchased from the screen that I purchased with the app. It 'a problem of Apple servers? I installed Lion, but at first I did not have this problem.

  • Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    In the "purchases" tab in the App Store you'll see a progress report. 
    Also once it completes downloading the installer will auto-launch.
    Once you get Mountain Lion installed, if you have the Downloads folder in your dock you will get a progress indicator in the dock while it's downloading :-)

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • How can I tell if movie fully downloaded on i-pad

    How can I tell if movie rented from I-tunes fully downloaded  on my Ipad? It only loads partially and then goes to sleep. Continues downloading when I wake it up. Forgot to finish and today I don't see any download pending. But I'm sure it didn't finish. How can I check without starting the movie - which only has 24 hours to view?

    yes - it shows in the Video app - but it did yesterday too when it wasn't fully downloaded and the bar graph showing downloading progress was still moving.

  • How Do I Tell What App is Downloading?

    I sometimes see sustained heavy downloading activity in the activity monitor graph (400+KB/sec) but no heavy CPU usage in the CPU list. I'm not checking my mail, syncing, downloading anything, or any other network heavy activity.
    Is there a way to tell what app is downloading so much???

    LittleSnitch does this.

  • How can we tell the progress of download of Lion?

    I purchased the app for Lion operating system, but I see no progress bar, etc. The tab says "installing" and I'm assuming it is, but I am wondering how long it will take and any other information as to what to do next. Any clarification? Thanks.

    Mark...
    Which Mac OS X are you currently running?
    You should see a window with a progress bar.
    The file is approximately 4GB. On a high speed internet connection, it takes approximately 35 to 45 minutes for the file to download in it's entirety.

  • How do I install Mountain Lion once downloaded?

    I downloaded Mountain Lion, but I do not see any icon or instructions to install it.  How can I find it?

    Right, it should be in your /Applications folder.  Typically, it auto-launches once the download has completed.
    Is it still downloading?  If you look at your Purchases tab in the Mac App Store what does it show for the ML Installer?

  • How can I buy Mountain Lion without download etc. Just associate with apple id to do reinstall on Mountain Lion Macbook

    I am trying to reinstall a Macbook Pro that had previously been upgraded to Mountain Lion x by the old owner. When I try to reinstall I need to input an apple ID that has purchased Mountain Lion. My ID hasn't. How can I either revert back to the original OS or associate Lion with my apple ID. I have happy to pay the $19.95 just cannot find where.

    You can purchase Mountain Lion using your Apple ID at the App Store. You cannot use the version installed by the old owner. In fact it should not have even been installed by the old owner when he sold it.
    You can install Snow Leopard and update it to 10.6.8 in order to purchase Mountain Lion under your Apple ID.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion

             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

  • How can I tell if anyone's downloaded or hacked my iPhone info

    I just hired a mobile service to repair the cracked screen on my phone (yes, I know should have gone to Apple store to have this done). They drive to your house and fix it in their truck while you wait in your house.
    When I handed him my iPhone before he started the repair, my iPhone was locked. He asked for the pass code so that he could test it to make sure the screen works, it can dial out, etc. I told him I did not feel comfortable and that when he was done w/ the screen and was ready to test to call me and I would come to his truck while he tested as that would make me feel more comfortable. He gave me a bit of grief but then said okay.
    20 minutes later when he gave me my iPhone back, it was already on the menu / main screen with my apps and unlocked. I immediately asked him if he had hacked into my phone and he said no.
    Is there anyway to tell if he downloaded or accessed any of my apps or downloaded anything?

    You can look at your account in iTunes to view any recent purchases. Change your password as well. 

  • How do I tell pacman to now download some packages from a group?

    Hi,
    If I want to install a group package (oh say... gnome) and don't want all packages (oh say... gnome games) how do I go about telling that to pacman?
    thanks

    When you run the command "pacman -S gnome" and it asks you if you want to install everything... enter "n" for no.

  • HT1338 Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think it worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
    From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say:  v10.8
    If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    FYI ..  for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

    Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
    Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
    Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
    Quit Disk Utility
    Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

  • I bought Lion and downloaded on my laptop, all is great. I was told by Apple tech I could put it on my family's computers (up to 4). However, I just tried to put on my daughter's and it asked for my billing info again. How do I avoid repeated charges?

    I bought Lion and downloaded it on my laptop. Apple tech said I could install it on family computer without buying again, they said it could be on 5. I just tried to install on my daughter's and was asked for my billing info again. How do I install on family computers without having to pay again?

    Your other computers must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed. You open App Store and sign in using the same Apple ID used to purchase Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of the entry for your Lion purchase.
    Here's a tip:
    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.

  • How can I tell if my computer is using ethernet or wireless for downloads?

    Hi,
    My computer is hooked up via ethernet to my router (base station) which is connected to my DSL modem, and I also have my Airport on because I have extended my network with an airport express so I can stream music to my stereo across the room using iTunes.
    I've noticed in the Airport menu that my computer is connected also to my wireless network which I use for getting online with my iPad.
    Can I assume that my computer will use ethernet and NOT wireless for accessing the internet, downloading files, etc?
    How can I tell which network connection is being used? Are there tools for monitoring the network that would allow me to easily determine if a particular download is going over the ethernet or the wireless connection?
    Clearly, I want to use the hard line ethernet connection for everything and use the wifi only for my streaming music function for speed purposes...
    Thanks!!!!
    Elisabeth

    Hi,
    Internet is served on the priority basic from the System Prefrences Network pane.
    If ethernet is on top you getting it from ethernet if Airport and so on...
    So depending on internet speeds set the priority to access fast internet speeds.
