I have an eligible computer but cannot download snow leopard.

I have a mac book pro 13" mid 2009 with 8 gb ram and 11 gb of free disk space but when I try to download snow leopard from the app store it does a little and then stops without expaination.

I have a disk capacity of 159gb and I have 10.8 free.
If 10.8 GB is all you've got left on a 159 GB drive, you'd better clean at least another 10 GB off. All modern OS's (Windows, Linux and others included) need a fair amount of breathing room for swap, data and cache files. 10 GB is not enough room, strange as that may sound.
Actually I have found the problem, its the BT router won't let me.
Any router could care less how much data is going through it, when set up normally. There's only two real possible reasons I can think of at the moment.
1) Your ISP has a daily data limit and is cutting you off at 80 MB.
2) Some routers have settings you can change to limit any computer you want to a set amount of data per day, hour, whatever you want. Check to see if someone has set such a limit.

    Having exact same problem, only it's with a book I've paid for, so it hurts more . Any ideas?

    Hi jhartseky1,
    You can download your file by logging in to your account at cloud.acrobat.com and clicking the Files tab. Find your file, and select it. Then, click the Download File icon at the top of the window (looks like an in-box with a down arrow). Your file will download to the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    If your computer's operating system is Windows 2000, then, it's not compatible with iPod, you can only use it to charge the iPod. This is clearly said in Apple's iPod web site.
    Try another PC that runs XP or Vista.

  • My iPad is stuck in recovery mode.  I already downloaded Snow Leopard and am making no progress.  Help!

    My iPad is stuck in recovery mode.  It was suggested before that I upgrade my computer, so I downloaded Snow Leopard and have tried resetting it, but it still isn't working.  What can I try next?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • Can I download Snow leopard/Lion rather than order hard copy delivery?  Not finding in iTunes nor on apple website..

    I currently have Mac OSx and looking to upgrade to Lion (sounds like I need to go through Snow Leopard upgrade first).  Is there an easy way to simply download these upgrades rather than order via the mail?  Any way to avoid updgrading two separate times and have the ability to go direct to the Lion upgrade?
    Thanks!

    You cannot download Snow Leopard. You have to buy it on disk.
    Once you've installed that, and updated it to 10.6.8, you can download Lion from the App Store.
    Apple also sells Lion on a USB stick, but I don't know if it is possible to install that on a disk with just Leopard.
    Also, make sure your MacBook can run Lion: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

    Hello Bruarong,
    It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
    Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
    Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

    Hi Little Orchard,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you downloading to a computer or an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?  I would first suggest signing out of the iTunes Store and restarting your computer or device.  Then log in and look for your purchases again.  If you are still not able to access your content the article below will get you connected with the iTunes Store Support.

    My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
    Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.
    Is that a -50 error message, jolyn?
    If so, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • Have purchased an E-book, but cannot download. Keep getting URLLink-2.acsm. What the hell is that

    Have purchased an E-book. but cannot download. Keep getting URLLink-2.acsm. What the hell is that

    Downloading to the ereader depends a little on the eReader.
    Some very basic eReaders, and Kindles, do not support Adobe DRM, in which case you cannot read such books on that reader.
    Most dedicated eReaders should show up in the left panel of ADE when they are plugged in to the USB.
    You might need a special driver, eg for Sony eReaders a driver is installed with the Sony Reader software.
    Some don't work correctly on ADE2.0, in which case try using the older but more reliable ADE 1.7.2 instead (see bottom of post).
    Once the eReader does show up in ADE, you will need to authorize the eReader (menu-Library-Authorize Device on 1.7.2, setting to the left of the device in 2.0).
    You should then be able to drag-drop books onto the device from within ADE.
    For tablets uses as eReaders you need an appropriate eReader app.
    Post again if your ereader is a tablet.
    ~~~
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
