MAC OS X Lion downloading Trouble.
Im having trouble installing OS X Lion, my internet connection is working properly. Apple starts downloading the app, but it only gets to 10 MB/4GB, and stops and restarts download from 0. It repeats this process for 5 times. At last shows me and internet connection problem. But it works properly.
This answers the question for Lion users

Mac OS X Lion Download Not Progressing
I have installed Lion on at least 5 other computers and have never ran into this issue. I am attempting to download Mac OS X Lion and the download has not progressed any. When hovering over the download icon it has just simply displayed " Mac OS X Lion - Downloading..." without showing a percentage and the progress bar has stayed empty/blank the whole time. I have attempted to pause/restart, cancel and start over. Nothing has worked. I would be willing to send screen shots or give more information by other means. I am in desperate need to have this installed before I leave town. Please help. Thank you.
A few things to note:
No Firewall is Running.
I have a 75MG internet connection.
I meet system requirements.I have found my answer. The progress bar displayed on the Mac OS X Lion icon really doesnt show progression that well. I found that you are able to open the Mac App Store and then click purchases and see a much better progression bar, actually showing the progress. The download is moving extremely slow considering my internet connection but I can see progression is made at least.
I would really like to state that having to open the Mac App Store, open purchases, and then see the progress is really not congruent to how things should work. You shoud simply be able to see the amount downloaded on the icon. -
How to resume broken MAC OS X Lion download
I already downloaded about 2GB of Lion from the App Store when it suddenly says: Installing
Then it says: An error occurred
I'm using a prepaid broadband and I realised that I ran out of credit.
Is there any way that I can resume a broken download?
I don't want to start downloading from the beginning again 'cause it takes LOADS of time.Your going to have to start all over again, but this time you need to find a Internet connection that is faster than 5 megabits per second download speed and pretty much have it all to yourself.
Right click on the Lion installer in the Dock and "Show in finder" to locate where it's at and drag and drop it into the Trash, also remove the Lion Installer icon in the Dock by dragging it off and letting go so it Poofs.
Visit AppStore and option click on Purchases and download it again.
BEFORE you click the installer, follow the steps here to make a copy of the dmg file and then burn a copy to a regular DVD-R, this copy can be hold the c key and boot from it

If you install and don't make a copy of the dmg, it will be erased when Lion installs and you will have to download it again.

Mountain Lion download trouble
I have the new MacBook Pro retina and I am eligible for down loading Mountain Lion for free and I have the code from Apple but when I enter it into the app store it won't work. HELP!!
Are you entering the content code that you got in the first email? What you need to do is take the content code from the first email then go to the 2nd email you received and open the pdf file, it will ask for a password. Enter the content code in the password field and it will produce your actual redemption code.

Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
-
Thank you
You don't use the iTunes Store for your computer. You use the App Store. But to do so you must upgrade your computer to 10.6.8 provided you have an Intel model.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?
It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I purchased and install MAC from app store. How do I download Mac OS X lion that I purchased?, I purchased and install MAC from app store. How do I download Mac OS X lion that I purchased?
kelvin,
Here is how you re-download OS X Lion from the App Store and save the InstallESD.dmg file and burn to either a DVD or USB thumb drive.
Use the machine OS X Lion is installed on.
Open App Store. Sign in.
Press and hold your OPTION key; then click on Purchases at the top of the App Store screen.
Under your purchase, look to the right of 'OS X Lion'. If Step 3 worked, the button on the right should say Install and let you click it.
Click Install. Let the download finish.
When you see the window open for installing the download, open FINDER, navigate to Applications and you should see the OS X Lion Installation App.
Right click on the OS X Lion Installation App and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate to the SharedSupport folder. You should see a filename of InstallESD.dmg.
Copy the InstallESD.dmg to your desktop
Close the window that's waiting for you to install OS X Lion. It's not needed anymore.
Burn to DVD
Launch Disk Utility and click the Burn button
Select the InstallESD.dmg file from your desktop as the image to burn. Insert a blank DVD and wait for the the image to be burned.
Burn to a bootable USB thumb drive.
Open Disk Utility and drag the InstallESD.dmg file to the left side pane. Go to the Partition tab ad select 1 Partition from the drop down menu. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) on the left. Click the Options button under the partition table and choose GUID Partition Table. You will need this to make the drive bootable on a Mac. Hit the Apply button when ready to format the drive (it will erase everything on the drive).
Click on the Restore tab and drag the InstallESD.dmg file to the Source. Drag the USB partition to the Destination. Hit the Restore button and it will create the bootable USB drive with the OS X Lion installer. -
Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??
Yes, assuming you can run Lion, & can deal with no more Save or Save As... functions...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
• x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
• At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
• Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
• At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications. -
I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!
Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
What do you get?
Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
it installs on my older mac miniAssuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

Itunes wont work after downloading mac os x lion
After I downloaded Mac OS X lion/10.7 and iTunes 10.4 iTunes wont open it pops up a window saying check with developer to make sure this version of Mac OS X supports iTunes. please help
How can I find out how old my Office:mac program is? It cost $149.99 at the Apple Store. I think it's only 3 years old. So Apple wants to kill Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.? Fine, a fair warning would be appropriate. I would not have "upgraded" if I knew $29 was really that plus upgrading everything else.
That's totally unlike Apple to not be able to access common documents when doing an upgrade.
Get real! Word and Excel can't be accessed by Lion?!?! I just want to work on my daughter's homework...
What a pussycat.
