Internet interrupted during download now "An error has occurred" is display

I tried to download the Lion developer preview and our internet went out for a few minutes. Now when i click on "Purchases" in the App Store I see the item listed but it reads "an error occurred" next to it. If i click the install button nothing happens. I cant clear it out. I tried opening up iTunes an clearing out the warnings and cache, but that did not help. How do i start this download over? Or does anyone know where these files get downloaded to so i can clear it out?
Here is a screenshot:

Got a solution now re downloading, Go to User folder library/application support/Appstore
open manifest.plist with property list editor (should be default to open), expand the selection so you can see all options. Then untick the box that says failed and re save the file. Unsure see link at bottom of post to screenshot
I had to then open the appstore, then restart it, it then resumed downloading again.
phew! all excited again bring on lion

  • IMovie re-download failing - "An error has occurred"

    I recently had to reformat my hard drive, and after piecing things back together I went back to the app store to re-download my apps.
    Most went fine, except for iMovie, which continually gets stuck, then tells me "An error has occurred" and every attempt tells me that it has failed to download, and to use the Purchases page to try again. Whenever I do that, I get the same thing.
    I've checked that cookies are enabled in Safari, and gone to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/ and cleared out those files. All yield the same results.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Using a different user account won't make any difference ...
    Try it this way ...
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
    Click the lock icon bottom left corner of the pane. You may be prompted for your admin password.
    Select:  Mac App Store and identified developers
    Click the lock icon to prevent further changes.
    Now follow the instructions here..
    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 iMovie 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.

  • Unable to save PDF - Internet Explorer Protected Mode "A file error has occurred"

    Hi,
    I hope you can all assist! Here's the detail:
    Reader XI (11.0.06) and deployed as physical installation (.msi)
    Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
    Internet Explorer 8 & 9
    Opening PDF's from HTTP & HTTPS locations
    Users are unable to save the PDF file to their chosen location (network share or local directory) "A file error has occurred".
    When the Internet Explorer Protected Mode is switched off, users are able to save the file to their chosen location.
    Is this is specific functionality of IE Protected Mode whereby the ActiveX control is being restricted.
    Is this due to Enhanced security within the Adobe Reader 11.0.06 application?
    Our current Reader version (9.3.0) is able to save files from unprotected locations, so this is creates a problem justify upgrading.
    Do anyone have any suggestions?
    Look forward to any assistance or suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Simon.

    Hi Simon,
    How are you saving the file (right click or from File menu)?  Does the problem happen with any PDF file?  Does the problem go away if  you turn "Enable Protected Mode at startup" from Reader (Preferences > Security (Enhanced)?

  • In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost.

    In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Welcome to the support forums.
    Please ask this question in the Mac App Store forum where they can better assist you.

  • "An error has occurred" downloading Mountain Lion. What should I do now ?

    "An error has occurred" downloading Mountain Lion.
    I accidentally closed the application app during download of Mountain Lion and now it shows "An error has occurred"
    In the application app there is a grey button next to the error message, if I click on it nothing happens
    Mountain Lion is showing in Launchpad as waiting, if I click on it, nothing happens
    What should I do now ?

    Launch the App Store.
    From the App Store menu bar (top of your screen) click Check for Unfinished Downloads
    If that doesnt help, try here >   Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads

  • HT202159 Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work

    Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work. Tried to re download, but it states code has already been used

    Danielle...
    From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed internet) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • TS1424 I am having issues downloading music from iTunes, it comes up saying an unknown error has occurred - please check your network connection. Now I can connect to iTunes store and have itunes as an exception for downloads so don't know what else to do

    Hello, I've started having an issue downloading songs and apps from iTunes to our PC which has Windows XP Professional installed. We also use Karspersky Anti-Virus and Firefox as an internet browser. Have never had this issue before, it comes up with "An unknow error has occured and downloads are stopped with an error 8003. Also says please check your network connection" We have no issue connecting to iTunes store or the network so not sure how to fix this. It is very frustrating. Have checked Windows Firewall and iTunes is an exception, can't think of anything else why it won't work.

    I sounds as though you need to start again. The following article tells you how to completely remove iTunes and Quicktime. If you didn't actually install iTunes you wont find it in add/remove programs so you can't do that bit, but still delete the iTunes folder in Program Files as advised in the article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Once you have got rid of them, try installing the latest version of iTunes. There is a link to it in the article.
    Itunes wont move your music for you, get iTune sgoing then ask again.

  • 10.3 OS Upgrade error. An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later

    HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • An error has occurred during download. Please try again later.

    Starting yesterday whenever I try to create a package I receive the following error:
    An error has occurred during download. Please try again later.
    The error appears with a yellow exclamation point next to each of the titles included in a package. I also receive the error on machines that I have used to package previously and have caches of the programs already. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
    Thanks.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

    What is your connection via speedtest.net ?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify network interference
