I purchased mountain lion but it keeps saying waiting and will not download

I purchased mountain lion over a week ago and the file will not download. It stays in a waiting queue and never initiates to even say downloading. I have deleted app attempted reinstall on multiple occassions but no luck. Additionally I have deleted app store cache to try and alleviate any issues but nothing is working. Also I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so a trip to the apple store is out of the question. Also I know my location is not an issue cause it allows me to purchase and install other items just fine. Any insight?

You could pull the app store plist.
That's what I would try first. (~/library/prefrences/com.apple.appstore.plist)
Also, I think the ML is kept in another folder as well. Let me take a look.
Yeah, try pulling the folder inside of the application support folder inside fo the computer libarary.
Go>computer>mac hd>libarary>application support>app store
pull the files inside the "app store" folder to the desktop. If there are more then a few, I would make a new folder on the desktop to drag them into.
restart and try the download again. Delete the download of  ML from the applications folder if there is one there.
Make sure you don't delete the files. We might need them still.
Thank you so much for your service! I personaly appreciate it very much.

  • Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. What Do I do?

    Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

    - Maybe here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
    - Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • IMovie says waiting and will not load

    I have just bought imovie from the App Store - but it doesn't seem to be loading, it just says 'waiting', it won't allow me to press the 'install' button, as it is greyed out.
    I have rebooted a couple of times, but still the same problem.
    I'm running OS X Yosemite V 10.10.1 on my iMac 4GB Memory.
    I'm at a loss, so have turned to the very helpful Apple Nation for some help.

  • The notepad app says waiting and will not respond. No other apps are waiting. I have rebooted the iPad to no avail

    My notepad app is greyed out and is labelled waiting. It will not respond. No other apps appear to be waiting. I have tried rebooting to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try this:
    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Creative cloud app downloading.. continues to say waiting and will not continue downloading

    using a mac pro computer. I am unable to download apps

    If you are getting waiting status after 42%  , follow below steps.
    Do not Quit Creative Cloud application when it is showing the progress status as " Waiting"  . Because if we close , the installer file will disappear from Tmp temporary storage.
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
    /Tmp
    It will open Tmp folder with list of sub folders inside .
    Search for Illustrator/ In Deisgn .dmg file . and then copy it to Desktop.
    Once you had copied .dmg file to Desktop.
    Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon , Setup , Install....etc from Activity monitor.
    Then double click on Illustrator/ InDeisgn .dmg file and try to install .

  • Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

    Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

    You can't install an older OS over a newer one. So you'll get a message saying you can't install ML until you erase the drive.
    I'm presuming you already have the full Mountain Lion installer on your drive.
    Download DiskMaker X. Use it, the ML installer, and an 8 GB flash drive to create your own bootable ML installer. Boot to the flash drive when it's ready. From there, you'll get the same minimal work screen as when you boot into Recovery Mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then install Mountain Lion. Restore your personal data.

    please help!

    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)".)

    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

    Absolutely. A proxy can prevent the software from downloading and installing.
    I realize you have already purchased Lion from the App Store but a workaround in your case would be the thumb drive.

    Installing the appropriate combo update may help...
    If you are running v10..7 Lion, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
    For 10.6 Snow Leopard >  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
    If that doesn't help, try the following..
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
    You may also need to disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
