HT1338 mountain lion isn't installing - it's saying 'waiting'; I have everything required for the install.

I've bought Mountain Lion - hit download.  In the launchpad it has the icon; it's been saying 'waiting'.  I have everything required for the download.  Does it just take this long?  It's been over an hour.

Quit and relaunch the App Store app.  It apaprently thinks that something else is still downloading, and it won't download more than one thing at once.

    getting an error downloading itunes 64bit for windows 7.  says there is a problem with the windows installer package.  a program required for the install to be complete could not be run.  any ideas?  i uninstalled it last night when it would not open.

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

  • HT1338 Mountain Lion not installing

    From the apple app store, purchased Mountain Lion. The mountain lion app icon shows download, but when I click down load nothing happens.

    The issue is resolved.
    Went to the app store and took the option to show my purchases. There it showed that that the down load was paused. Why it was paused is beyound me. Just restarted it and the download completed.
    Before starting the installation I then made a back up copy of the install.dmg app and copied it to my other Macs so I didn't need to wait for the down load on the other computers.

    Tell us more about the disk and partition onto which you are trying to install Mountain Lion:
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities). The left column should show your disk with its partition(s) indented below it:
    How is the disk (top level container) formatted according to Disk Utility:
    * What Partiton Map Scheme? (Should be "GUID Partition Table".)
    * How many partitions? (Should be 1 unless you have a Boot Camp partition.)
    How is the partition (lower level container) formatted according to Disk Utility? (Should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".)

  • This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. Dr Nir Hus

    Downloaded latest OS X and installed on my Mac Book Pro (early 2008).  No problems.
    Then attempted to install on my Mac Mini 2011 and continuously getting the following message:
    "This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading."
    I noticed that I am not the only one...
    Anyone with a solution.
    So far all I see are various attempts by people, some successful others not.
    This should not be a frustrating complicated ordeal!!!

    Yup, the safe mode/repair/redownload/install finally solved it - had to do it after midnight as all the 4gig downloads have already trashed my 60gig internet limit for this month, installed REALLY slowly bugt eventually at 0330 i had working Mountatin Lion on my Macbook.
    This has to be the most tedious upgrade, Mac OR Windows, I've ever done. Takes me back to inserting 15 floppies for sheer inconvenience, and from the numbers reporting this problem, it's more than an occasional glitch. And for some reason the download always fails if left unattended, even if all the sleep modes, etc, are negated.
    3/10 to Apple this time around.

  • Mountain Lion isn't downloading.

    Bought Mountain Lion but I can't download ML. I have a Macbook 2011, all software up to date. I had no problem downloading and installing Lion.pr

    I am having problems to download Montain Lion too, since yesterday I am trying download in so many types of internet links (to 10 mbytes too) and the problems persist. To other products/softwares, no problem, download and install the softwares, but the Montain Lion appears the message "Waiting..." and the download nothing.
    I believe that the Apple download servers are having problems.
    Do you have solution to resolve this Apple download problem ?

    If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now?

    You are confusing Free Disc Space with RAM.

    any ideas ?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
    To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

    Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
    Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.
