Lion appstore download error

While downloading OSX Lion I had an internet connection breakdown at home. Internet now works again but in the purchase tab of the app store my Lion download says 'an error has occured' and wont restart download.
If I try starting a download from start it says ' you have already purchased it, do you want to purchase again for free' - YES and then I'm back at the 'an error has ccured' message
What shoul I do ??

I have installed Lion on my Macbook Pro with no problems (yesterday) and am currently installing on my Macbook Air (as I write this), yet the install on my Macmini keeps getting the 500 Internal Server Error message.
This is only my guess but I think the App Store server is overloaded at the moment and will clear you (and me) for download as it's able. The error message has nothing to do with your Macs.
Patience will prevail I suspect.

Appstore download error occures at 52MB

I purchased the mountain lion update in the appstore and started downloading. At 52MB a download error occures and the download stops. Afterwards a mountain lion installation process starts but stops immediatly.
I tried to download mountain lion several times but I always get the errors. I also tried to repair the disk permissions in safe mode and deleted the appstore cache but it changed nothing. If i try downloading mountain lion after repairing the disk permissions the appstore doesn't accept my apple ID for downloading in safe mode. Returning to normal mode the error from the beginning occures again.
What can I do to solve this problem?

I have read of some errors with the App Store and iTunes. You can check with iTunes support here. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

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.

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.

Try downloading it in safe mode. Hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode, and then, open App Store > Purchases, and download Mountain Lion.

can I download mountain lion from torrent and make it legal. I already have purchased it from the app store but my internet connection ***** and I get download errors. Anybody facing such a situation please let me know how u guys got rid of it.

You should always be doing regular backups. Disks can fail at any time; so can other components; directories can get corrupted beyond repair, users can make mistakes, etc.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
If you don't like Time Machine, see Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for some alternatives.
Did you purchase AppleCare with your Mac? If so, the drive will be replaced at no charge.

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.

I can't download OS X LION. it comes up with download error, Can anyone help me please ????????

Not much detail here. What's the error? If a connection one, use a wired connection to the Internet, If it says stopped or paused, retry. If something else, try http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account

Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

All I know is that once it is installed it is erased, the Lion Installer is erased from the applications folder.
You won't have to pay for it again if you have to download again. Remember to move it out of the applications folder, then you can trash it when you are ready or even burn a startup DVD.
My knowledge comes from two e-books you can get here
http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/lion-upgrading
and the one about using lion.
Good luck

Creative Cloud - Download error - stubborn error

This seems to be inconsistency quality assurance going on with Creative Cloud using Adobe Application Manager, I always get this stubborn - darn stubborn error message "Download error. Please contact customer support." In this case, I have no idea what the darn problem since it never gave me the reason as to what kind of error message that caused this stubborn download error.
I have no problem updating Creative Cloud apps on Mac Pro, but I am having this stubborn problem on my other computer - more specifically, MacBook Pro 17" unibody operating on Mac OS 10.8.2 (the latest version) Mountain Lion.
I have to say that I was very disappointed, because I had switched to Creative Cloud subscription from traditional Master Collection CS6.
This quality of service with Adobe Creative Cloud subscription proved worthless and unreliable and if this continue being this way, why should I continue to use Creative Cloud where it failed to download or not able to download at all? Why should I continue to pay subscription fees - even if I pay for annual contract.
I felt that I was ripped off by Adobe with faulty unreliable subscription service through Creative Cloud.
Please, please and please provide me a remedy solution. I have tons of project that I am working on.
Deeply disappointed.
Long time Adobe consumer for years!!!
BEST of the BEST crap experience with Creative Cloud - that is based on my experience!
Brian

I have an iMac at home which is working fine with CC, but on my Macbook Pro 15 inch same error keeps on coming up. I can log into Adobe online, on the CC, but when checking whether I have the apps available online, I first have to log onto the Creative Cloud for teams section before it 'sees' me as a paying customer.
Screen 1:
I then decide to open up the browser and go to Adobe.com and log into my account:
I have no products found and I have to click on the ad (which shouldn't show if I've already bought the software?)
And I get the options of downloading all the apps I need.
I have already downloaded the apps, but can't seem to log into the CC app in the toolbar at the top of my screen. I can log into Behance too, but it looks like I'm getting an old version of everything. The Typekit facility as well as the files section doesn't seem to work yet, even though it looks like everyone else is using it.
Adobe, please sort this out!

Application Manager "download error" even after using Cleaner Tool

I have Creative Cloud working on my primary computer and am trying to get it going on my laptop, a MacBook Pro on which I just installed Mountain Lion OSx.
I have not been able to install the Adobe Application Manager to start some software downloads. I get a window that pops up after the installer starts that says "Download Error. Contact Customer Support", then a button below that says "QUIT".
After reading a few posts about this, I tried the Cleaner Tool and restarted the computer.
After restart, I get the same problem and am not sure what to do next.
I am logged into Creative Cloud.
Any ideas?

I had edge, photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver and lightroom on my laptop - (this is my 2nd computer - most apps are on my desktop system)
I uninstalled all of those and deleted Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager folder then I downloaded and reinstalled the application manager then tried to downlad the appd from my Creative Cloud account - it gives me the same error
before I deleted - I did try downloading Audition as a trial and then sign in on my CC account and it gave me that same error
march 1 - I tried to download a trial version on Photoshop - it will not download to my applications folder - due to "restrictive access privledges"
thought it might have to do with security preferences - changed to allow all - and it still will not download...
also tried to update Adobe Story and it also errored
so can't load any adobe apps to my laptop -
have tested on my desktop with same account and it works fine

Mac OS 10.6.8 update download error

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and was looking forward to installing Lion but I have to update from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 first. I went to Software Update and the download progress bar went all the way to the end at which point I got a "Mac OS 10.6.8 download error." It said there were problems connecting to the download server. The other 5 updates that the Software Updater app found that I could use downloaded and updated just fine. I tried restarting and re-updating but get the same error. What's going on? How do I fix this? Thanks.

My other updates did not update either. I do the download - OR TRY TO DO THE DOWNLOAD - after several minutes of what seems to be downloading... then it asks - "Would you like to install these downloads?" I click Yes. It begins to do something - and after a few minutes it says - "Error - problems ocurred while connecting to the download server." By not doing these updates I know this is what is slowing my down computer and sometimes making it down right stagnant like a PC. I sometimes have to click on the same thing four or five times to get it to do the function. I have been getting this message all week. I have 8 updates that need to be completed and I am using 10.6.8 Mac OS.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! I am frustrated! My husbands PC laptop is in the shop - for the 5 or 6th time. I had almost convinced him to go Mac... I need this work RIGHT!
