HT204266 Mountain Lion Won't Download

Started downloading Mountain Lion form the App Store, and it stopped around 53MB. Says "a problem has occurred. No additional info and it won't resume. Any advice?
Thanks!

Not an itunes question.

    Same problem. Appears to be related to the availability of OS X Mavericks now. Here is another post on this issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5503509?tstart=60

  • TS1702 mountain lion won't download

    I am new to Macs and computers. I have a Macbook Pro and have just bought Mountain LIon to update my Snow Leopard system. It was downloading fine but suddenly stopped saying that 'an error had occurred' and has a grey blank box at the side of it. I can't find any part download of the app. I have tried to look in folders but no joy. Does anybody have simple step by step instructions for a beginner please?

    Try it this way ...
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Mountain Lion won't download from app store even after I've purchased it

    I have purchased and tried to download Mountain Lion OS X but the icon just says "waiting" and in the purchases tab on the App Store  it says "an error has occurred" and I can't click anything. What do I do? I just want to download it!

    i have resolved the issue.
    I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

  • Mountain Lion won't download from App Store

    Hello, I'm on the Mac OS X 10.6.8 and am currently trying to download Mountain Lion onto my computer. However, after I've made my purchase nothing happens when I try to download the software from the App Store. I've tried restarting my computer and App Store. Any ideas?

    The loading bar for Mountain Lion actually showed up when I restarted my computer by using the software update. The downloading bar is still empty but I'm guessing I simply can expect quite some time for it to download?

  • Mountain lion won't download, stuck at 142mb

    I've been trying for months to download Mountain Lion, it keeps stalling at 142mb. any ideas?

    The Apple Store idea is probably the best. Do you have access to another network using another ISP (friend's house?) where you can try the download again? Needs to be someone who has a Mac. You can then put the download on a USB stick and install it on your iMac.
    You can also try resetting the App Store.

  • Mountain Lion won't download. Any help?

    Hi,
    I have purchased mountain lion 3 days ago but I can not download since then. I see the icon saying "waiting" but there is not any progress.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks a lot

    [Assumption: You have functional Internet connection to your ISP and have Mountain Lion running by now.] If not:
    Stop the indicated "waiting" dialog. Logout of the App Store.
    Reboot.
    Sign back into the App Store and with the option key depressed, choose purchases. The Mountain Lion purchase should have an "install" button indicated. Try again.

  • OS X Mountain Lion won't download

    So I'm on a Macbook 2010 version running OS X version 10.6.8 which is the requirement for downloading Moutain Lion.  I bought Mountain Lion in the App Store and when i start downloading it I can see it progresses to around 700mb and then it just stops and says "An error has accurred". I have a 100mbit line and not using wifi but an ethernet cable. Anyone got advice? Very frustrating to pay for something and not be able to use it.

    Contact the Mac App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
    It seems that a number of people, recently, are getting that "an error has occurred" message... may be a 'clink' in Apple's MAS servers...

  • HT2404 Mountain Lion will not download through the apps store.  It shows up in Launchpad, but when the screensaver goes on and I enter my password and my desktop shows up, it has disappeared from launchpad.  I have set my energy saver controls appropriate

    Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store.  It has been purchased and redeemed.  I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow.  I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again).  When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad.  I have tried this several times.  I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air.  I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again.  Same results.  Anyone?

    Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
    But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • HT4245 my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.

    this is a very frustrating problem
    my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.
    it keeps on saying that ive entered the wrong passcode.
    i even have my firewall turned off
    plz help

    Ok...
    So I bought my MacBook Pro second hand, and it came with no installation discs, but I got Mountain Lion and had it installed and decided to back it up to a disc in case of this scenario. I followed some instructions to make a bootable disc and used it to install a fresh copy of Mountain Lion back when I first got it.
    My problem is that without the boot partition of my MacBook's hard drive it doesn't seem to want to boot the disc.
    Since I didn't want to buy a disc and I don't have another MacBook or know anyone near me that does, I decided to download a hackintosh iso and use it along with my other laptop to install iPC 10.5.6....this installed successfully and my hopes were that my MacBook would be able to boot it, so I reinstalled my MacBook's hard drive and to my surprise it booted, although not normally. Since it is hackintosh it has some rewritten boot features so it's not a true OSX, but it is fully functional. Since I finally had OSX booted I figured I was in the clear and would be able to install Mountain Lion from this, but then I found out that you have to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later in order to install Mountain Lion.
    Now I'm stuck with a hactintosh version of Lion and still no way to get back to Mountain Lion, is there anything I can do now that I have a functional OSX installation?

  • Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

    Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
    Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

    I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error.  I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail.  After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error.  However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution.  I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop.  So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x.  The install then went off without a hitch.  I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

    Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.
