Lion OSX could not be verified...help?
Hello, I just purchased Lion OSX and upon installing it says that: The software could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. ????????
I see that others are having the same problem...how can i fix this..? I just spent $29.99 on something that is not working. Not happy right now.
I am running an imac Duo core, 8 gigs of ram, 3.06 GHz processor.
Please tell me how to fix this...I did not tamper with it while it was downloading and there were no internet issues as far as i know.
Hi ...
Go to HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
BTW, you cannot delete an Apple ID.

I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
This is the message that I received:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
What does this mean?The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps. -

If you have Intego VirusBarrier X6 installed
1. Open /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.
2. Click on the "Surf" button.
3. Click on the "Ad Banner Filter" tab.
4. Click "OFF" next to "Banner advertisement filter".
5. Start the computer in Safe Boot, then restart the computer into normal mode.
If don't not have Intego Virus Barrier installed
1. Verify that the date and time is correct on the computer.
2. Safe Boot once, then restart normally, then try downloading again.
3. Try with a different user account if the issue persists
If the issue persists
Install Lion onto an empty partition (internal or external).
Note: You can Use Disk Utility to live partition the internal drive and create a second partition large enough to install Lion.
Start from the clean installation of Lion.
Download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Note that the original startup disk can be set as the destination for Mountain Lion during the installation process. -
I am trying to purchase mountain lion but I get the following message:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may bedamaged or was not signed." Any help?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..

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 -

My mountain lion was interrupted during download it says..... "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." what to do pls help
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting. -
I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.

Does any one have an other greate idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello to everyone that helped me.
I have tryed all the solutions that you have offered, but with no sucsess.
I have also tryed to contact the support from the AppStore, but I only got the answer please contact our other collegues, from the Technical Support unit.
I tryed as the last atemped to reinstall Lion 10.7 through the AppStore (by going to purchases) after I went through the process, downloading and installing, I could also purchase, download and install Mountainlion.
(one small hick-up, after I finished downloading Lion, the AppStore gave me the same Message as before:
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I just pressed the button to download, again. After that I had no more issues.)
I hope that this will help you.
Best Regards
Rene
Hello,
In my case, that would not be possible since before the message I have got , the system said
"We could not complete your App Store request" or something similar. And the only choice I had, is to click on OK button. As I said, the only way I found is to start from Mac OS 10.6 to succeed in buying, not only downloading, but simply buying Mountain Lion.

Can someone help out. I'm getting this message when i try to download. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
See this link from another similar question. It may need patience to resolve. I think Thomas Reed's suggestion is best place to start.

The software could not be verified. It may have been damaged or altered during itsdownload.
Went back to App Store to re-download but could not, as Lion is showing "installed" in my account. Please help.
