Lion won't even start to download; How big is the download?

First: I tried to download Lion from the Applestore (the big round button with a lion in it). For about 0.5 sec. I got "Loading ..." then :
The address is redirected and returns:
"Safari can’t open “macappstore://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link? path=mac%2fosxlion&ign-mscache=1&affC=QQADAAAH0wAMiXUgNGRmNjMwODJmMTQzYzA0MGYxZD E2ZjFhMTc5NTI1MTYGNDE2NTY1&ign-msr=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.apple.com%2***%2Fbrowse%2F home%2Fshop_mac%2Fsoftware%3Fmco%3DOTY2ODQyOQ” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “macappstore:”.
So, bowled out before even reaching the stumps. Any ideas?
Second: How big is the Lion download?
Thanks.

Nikolai Yde: Just to be sure (in the UK we use a stop as a decimal point and a comma to separate thousands): do you mean three and 74 hundredths of a GB? = 3740000 Bytes?
At a download speed of 6 Mbps, that will take me 4986.67 sec. = 83.1 min. That's OK.
Thanks

  • Download won't even start (Adobe Flashplayer)

    Hello, I am using Macbook Pro - Lion Version 10.8.2. I have tried downloading/uninstalling the previous version and downloading again. But the download for the latest Adobe Flashplayer won't even start. The page just loads but the download does not start. I tried restarting my com and did all that's said in the forum.. But it seem I'm the only one facing this problem. I have made sure that I'm downloading the correct version for it, just FYI. Any one knows how I can solve it? Thanks! 

    Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • GTA Vice City won't even start?

    So i just downloaded GTA vice city and it took enough to install so when it finished i tried to start it and at the same second it turns on and then off, basiclly won't even start. Has anyone gotten the app already and tried it out? Maybe solution for my problem?

    It's possible you simply have a defective battery. Try going down to your local Apple Store and try one of their batteries in your MBP. If it works then simply replace it.

    i completely lost access to mail after installing iOS 6.0.1. The app 'mail' won't even open now. How do I fix this?

    You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
    Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
    Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

  • X6 errors, now it won't even start anymore

    Hei!
    I've had the X6 now for about a month and a half and while I was updating the software something went wrong. It couldn't reinstall the backup.
    Ever since that moment my phone has been doing weird stuff.. The touchscreen sometimes doesn't respond or just fades away and the phone restarts. 
    I get errormessages that the memorycard can't be found (I have the 32gb version) and properties disappear.
    Now the phone won't even start when I have my simcard inserted. It gives the error message 'Selftest failed, contact the reseller'.
    I can't do anything with it, the message disappears when I take out the battery but when I start it up again the same message appears.. 
    Who can help me? It's really urgent! 

    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

    How can i download lion from 10.6.8 because I can not find the download on the app store?

    The only way you could get Lion for free was if you had purchased a new Mac within a certain number of days before Lion's release. Buyers could then get a free upgrade to Lion. That offer is long gone. Otherwise, it's never been free.
    Mavericks, 10.9.x is the first OS Apple has ever released for free to everyone (who's Mac can run it).

    Why won't OS X Mavericks start downloading when I click the download button? It thinks and acts like it starts downloading with the thinking circle moving then stops and goes away. I have tried going to the purchases in the app store and restarting it there and that is not working either.

  • Won't even start

    My MBP which is just over a year old won't even start up now, I press 'Power' then it tries but just switches itself off.
    Recently i started noticing that it was not charging properly as well.
    Since I am out of warranty will it be a long costly procedure to determine the problem?
    Your thoughts please.
    Thanks.

    It's possible you simply have a defective battery. Try going down to your local Apple Store and try one of their batteries in your MBP. If it works then simply replace it.

  • Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

    Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

    I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
    will not download or install, but will download and install for
    Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
    find something out, it would be freat!

  • TS1424 I downloaded an album, and the download was interrupted. I went back and completed the download, but several songs did not download completely - they only have about half the song, and then it starts to play the next song.  How do I recover the res

    I downloaded an album, and the download was interrupted.  I went to the Store and completed the download, but several songs now appear as partial copies - they end ~ half way through.  Is there any way to complete the download?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
