Lion has been trying to load for hours

I clicked "Buy App" for Lion in the Apps store. It does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that your system meets the technical specifications . You can always pause it and try again later maybe your Internet connection will be fast later at night.

My flash update has been stuck at 30% for hours. Is there anything I can do to actually get it to download?

I have been trying to download flash to watch an exam review and it has been stuck at 30% for hours. I tried restarting the download and it went to 30% and stopped again. I am using a Mac with the most up to date software available for it.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Can't access story I Just bought Adobe story but when I press sign in there appears an ST logo with a spinning @bar that has been on my screen for hours

I Just bought Adobe story but when I press sign in there appears an ST logo with a spinning @bar that has been on my screen for hours

Can you please try the following?
- first make sure that you have flash player up-to-date. You can get the latest version from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
Now log into story wait for some time to see if this resolves your issue or not
- If it doesn't then try opening private browsing/incognito mode of your browser and try logging into Story from there
If you are able to login then you should try clearing cache and cookies of your browser

How do I cancel an email I tried to send--I was a dolt and sent one with 8 photos (actual size) and my phone has been trying to send for four days. Thank you! Jeff

Greetings from Beantown!
I was a dolt and tried to email 8 photos (actual size) from my iPhone 4S and now my phone has been "working" trying to send for four days. Verizon has texted me that all my data for monthly plan is now used up and I am not able to "cancel" send for the message. Does anyone know how to cancel an email that is being sent?
Many thanks,
Jeff

Put your phone in Airplane mode, go to the mail app & see if you can delete the stuck mail now. If not, while still in Airplane mode, send yourself an email, it will go to the outbox, see if you can now delete both.

"Spotlight" has been "indexing backup volume" for hours

I have been having some problems with making a backup to Time Capsule using Time Machine, but it finally was resolved (after a very long prep time). Now, "Spotlight" shows a message that it is indexing the Backup volume (icon for backup value stays on the desktop)and estimating the backup time, but no time ever showed. I went to Console to see what messages were being posted and saw many messages as follows:
8/5/08 1:45:28 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[185] Waiting for Spotlight to finish indexing /Volumes/Backup of Barbara Klein’s MacBook/Backups.backupdb
Now spotlight is finished estimating and telling me that the estimated time is about 70 hours to index (and rising)!! Can anyone tell me what is going on? Or what, if anything I should do? If I turn off the computer, won't it simply start that indexing again when a backup happens?
Help would be appreciated!

I have done that, so I will see what happens next! Putting the Time Capsule and the backup volume on the privacy list seemed to shorten the time to 7 minutes! And now the indexing has stopped. Whether this will be an issue if I am ever looking for something on the backup volume is a question, I suppose.
Thanks for the tip.

How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days? When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud. Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library". Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

How do I download OS X Lion faster? I have been trying to download for the past 36 hours without success.

How do I download OS X Lion faster? I have been trying to download for the past 36 hours without success.

When I tried to download and install Lion using the App Store, I found that it would just HANG when I entered my Apple ID, and would never start the download. It was never getting past the login. I searched the forums and found other people with the same problem but no solutions.
In troubleshooting it myself, I stumbled across something that worked for me. I wanted to just make sure I had the right password and that my Apple ID was still working, not disabled, so I logged in with my apple ID on iTunes. It worked so I then went to the App Store and logged in again.
Once I did that, the download started and finished the way I expected. Over verizon FIOS, the download took me about 40 minutes, and then the install took 30 minutes after that.
So, if it is hanging and never really starting the download, try logging in to iTunes first, then the app store. It might work for you too.

Disk Utility has been trying to make a partition on hard drive for a long time

Disk Utility has been trying to make a partition on hard drive for a long time, I want to make 2nd partition and install the Snow Leopard on 2nd disk,
Lion is very slow on my Early 2011 MBP.

I am using MBP early 2011 with Osx Lion,
Lion was slow for me and I have no external HD to backup my files,
Than I want to make 2 partititon of my internal HD to backup my files to it, and also want to install Snow Leopard to that new partition using the CDs comes with my MBP.
After that.
I was using Disk Utility to partition my MBP to install Snow Leopard to my second part. While partitioning my Disk Utility did not complete and wouldn't continue the process, I waited about 30 minutes to see if it fix itself, so I cancelled it and restart the Mac, upon rebooting I opened Disk Utility to try again and I noticed I lost 400 gigabytes of space. I tried to "Erasing Free Space" but after a couple of minutes it finished and the same problem 400 GBs of lost space.
Is there a way to fix this and regain my lost hard drive space?

Have you tried a PRAM reset?
