Lion won't even begin downloading from app store?!?!
I purchased it in the app store and it immediately debited my account for the cost (of course).
When I click on install I simply get "0 bytes of 3.74 GB - Less than a minute remaining" AND IT NEVER CHANGES.
After a while I get red letters next to the INSTALL icon that simply states "An error has occurred" (Really? Derrr...) and the icon disappears from my launch bar.
If I click INSTALL again, the red message stays there, the Lion icon in the launcher just sits at "waiting..."
So now support simply states "well, you'll have to keep trying or take it into a service center". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
It's been OVER 12 hours of absolutely NOTHING for $30.
Has anyone had this issue? How can it be fixed? I've waited patiently for Lion since the Keynote and now I can't even get it to download!
Remember that line Steve said in the Keynote... we've all heard it before... "it JUST WORKS"... I cry foul, FOUL!
I'm a NEW Apple owner. Not such a great first impression I have to say.
Help?
Hi Thanks for the update. Apple say my speed is fine I have ADSL and have downloaded FCP 10 , motion, compressor all without any issues.
For me to drive to a store is about 80k and then likely I would have to leave it with them, so 4 trips and a BIG disruption for me. There has to be an easier solution to this, after all its just a download file!!
I have plugged in the Ethernet cable as well.
PS I am in New Zealand South Island Central Otago Apple stores are not that common :-(

Won't le me download from app store/itunes keeps asking for password
Everytime i go to download something, it asks me to sign in, and it keeps asking.
Apparently this is a known issue and Apple is working to resolve it as quickly as possible. Don't try to change your password or account, you will have to just retry to download tomorrow.

In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?
How do I speed this up. I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right.
The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download -

When I try to download from apps store and hit the install button it just becomes a colored box and nothing downloads.
If you have an iPod with iOS 3.1.3 then it is due to an Apple problem.

I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.
Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac
X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac
Check your Applicaitons folder.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 < your profile
Xcode's minimum requirements according to the App Store under Information is OS X v10.7.3 or later.
If you are running v10.7.2, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
That should bring your Mac up to date to v10.7.4.
Then try re downloading Xcode.
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 which apps you want to re download. 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. -
IOS 7, cannot download from app store
Can't download from App Store since installing iOS 7. Only a spinning ball when I chose to install something. ??
Thanks Sky, that's not really an answer tho, it worked fine before the update. . Not only that, my new version of music player tells me iTunes Radio isn't available, and freezes when even trying to play mp3 files.. And links from mail to Safari don't work either. My ipad is quickly becoming a high priced frisbee. . .
