HT1338 app store error on download of OSX Lion!????

when i try and download the lion software from the appstore, I get "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." what do I do?

OS X Lion is no longer available in the Mac App Store, as it was replaced by Mountain Lion, a newer operating system. If your Mac does not meet the requirements for Mountain Lion, you can download Lion by ordering a download code by calling Apple.

Mac app store error when downloading small apps

The mac app store fails to download any app that is 1-7 mb in size. But it works fine with large app downloads

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

APP Store Error when downloading Mavericks

I am unable to download Mavericks from the App store.
I see the following message in my Console:
3/20/14 9:31:54.696 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
3/20/14 9:31:54.717 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
I have tested my Apple userID and password … it's ok.
I am running 10.7.5 on a Apple MacPro 5.1
one other piece of information: I was able to initiate the download 2 days ago, but my internet connection failed and I had to reboot. I have been uable to resume or re-initiate the download/upgrade to Mavericks since.
Thanks in advance.

Step 1
Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app "Install OS X Mavericks." There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download, then try again
Step 2
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

App store error message downloading BBM to iPod touch

Has anybody seen this message?
It's my daughters iPod. Trying to get her BBM so she and I can chat when I'm away (I have BB...not always carryin my iPad around with me). I did have BBM on my previous iPhone 5S, but it doesn't appear in my purchased apps (at least as far as I can see...a search function or ability to re-order the list would be wonderful, Apple).
Any insight appreciated.

(To fill in the obvious blank in the original post....)
we have family sharing.
(Taking that info and add it to what was already there...)
so....cannot find BBM in my list of previously downloaded apps (it's a big list, which cannot be searched, thanks Apple) from my daughters iPod through family sharing. Trying instead to re-download it (usually not an issue in anyway whatsoever), but get the message shown.
I assume this clarify's the situation?

Cannot download Mavericks from App Store - error 1004, then error 13.

I have previously downloaded Mavericks 10.9.5, but now I cannot a second time. When I attempt to download, I get an error code 1004..hitting cancel gives me error 13. Yosemite will download, but I don't want it until the "bugs" are worked out - maybe version 10.10.2.
Have contacted technical support by phone and cannot talk to a real person, only the menu system..want a serial number for a Mac. Since my MacBook Pro is over 3 years old, says I must pay for a technical support session - $29 fee.
This is how to treat a loyal customer? Pay for support for an App Store failure to download a free upgrade?

This advise (in theory) should work. However, there are no "hidden items", but there is a "manage" link
Clicking on that link shows me nothing other than 2 previously downloaded, and since removed, free items (free apps I tried but later removed).
There is no "hidden" Mavericks download, or for that matter, previously downloaded Mountain Lion.
(Which I also cannot download from the "purchases" page.)
There is a button labeled "Reset" which links to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading" which I have tried multiple times with no positive result.
No joy.

I bought mountain lion en app stores and start download, but stops and mentioned is incomplete. and when start installation mentioned error because download is incomplete and send me to download again but the button is in "downloaded" what can i do?

I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the last five days. Help!

I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the last five days. Help!
It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

puchased mountain lion from app store and tried downloading via store 4 times, always rcvg an alert stating "error downloading"
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.
