Lion refuses to download and keeps saying an error has occurred

I have been trying for over an hour. I updated everything I possibly could think of. Could a program be causing it to not download at all? I mean it won't download 1 byte. The icon in the das just says waiting when I hover over it. I don't understand why this isnt working...

It downloaded fine on mine but my wife's it keeps pausing download and won't resume she has her file vault on I'm removing that see if it will download it works good on mine I like it alot but it seems to take a little while for the apps to open snow leopard was way quicker once there open though it moves smoothly between them

    Can't update new Mac book pro with iPhoto 9.3.4. Any suggestions?  Keeps saying an error has occurred.

    Try using this updater manually: iPhoto 9.4.3
    Or if you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Blackberry app world keeps saying 'AN ERROR HAS OCCURED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER'

    Hi there
    I have a blackberry 8520 and everytime I try and download something from the app world it keeps giving me the error message of ' an error has occured. Please try again later' this started happening when I upgraded my app world.
    I have rebooted my phone, restarted it and made sure its fully charged. This has been going on since saturday (when I upgraded my app world)
    I cannot download any apps because of this problem. And when I try I keep getting the Error msg!!!!!
    Please help as I really enjoy the phone I just can't download any apps!!!!!!
    Thanx

    Hi there!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRTHomescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
    2) Resend Service BooksKB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull RebootAnytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • 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.

  • I can't download Lion from App Store - says an error has occured. Have rebooted and contacted Apple support. Can anybody help?

    Every time I try to download Lion, the download, the download appears to start, but then stops, saying an error has occured, with nothing downloaded, and the App icon disappears from the dock.
    Has anybody else experienced similar?

    same problem and precisely with the OS X lion up to date program.
    I called apple but they said there's nothing they can do for now. there are many problems they are trying to resolve and one of them is the up to date program.
    the only solution available they said is to wait. but they didn't specify for how long.
    One would think that they'd test their solution well when they took the decision to make the OS available only though the appstore or at least offer a back up solution should people be unable to obtain it like it is the case for us.
