Mountain Lion will not download from app store

I have a new macbook pro running Lion, and I tried to download Mountain Lion from the app store yesterday. it downloaded partly and but then the download seemed to stop. So I disinstalled the partially downloaded software and tried again. But when I try, the icon says "waiting" and the actual download never begins. I've tried several times with the same result. What should I do?

Amazon Instant Prime App will not download from App Store

When I try and download this App from the App Store I get an error message saying that "the App you tried to buy is no longer available".
Any ideas?

Found out why. The localisation setting in Restrictions (even though Restrictions is turned off) was set to United States, and I'm in the UK.
Good grief...

Mavericks will not download from the App store. Repeatedly receive a message that "an error has occurred. Try again"

I have repeatedly tried to download Mavericks from the App store. When attempted from the update tab it fails and instructs me to try again from the Purchases tab. When I try it there, I receive an error message that "an error has occurred" and to try again. I have successfully downloaded other apps (both Apple and third party) but Mavericks won't do it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

OS X Mavericks not downloading from app store

When I try to download the free upgrade through the app store, nothing happens. OS X Mavericks shows in my purchases list and has the option to download but again, not happens. I have a Mid-2010 MacBook using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Any ideas?

Try here > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
If that doesn't help ...
Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of storage space.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If it's not a storage space issue ...
Disable anti virus software if installed
Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Maverick not downloading from App Store, button turn back grey

Hello,
I'm try to install Maverick on my mac but can't seem to download it from the app store. I already search a lot on that subject and tried many thing, I just can get it to work.
The first time I downloaded it, a download icon appeared in my dock. It was not moving, me not realising it is a 5 gb dl I canceld it. Afterward, I tried to download it from the last purchace user interface of the apple store. When I clikc the grey button, it turn dark grey and the goes back to light gray, displaying no download and not putting any maverick download icon in the dock.
I emptied the cache of the app store through the debug menu, nothing changed after I restarted my computer. Here are my mac specs:
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2,4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          3 GB
Bus Speed:          1,07 GHz
I have no firewall, no mack keeper, little snitch is disabeled and no antivirus.
Can anybody give a hand on this? Could my hardware be to old to use maverick?

Also wanted to mention that I did not find any file being downloaded on my computer. Maybe it's hidden in a temporary folder, but I doubt it even if some user did solve their issue but finding it on their computer.
Still not working

OS X Mavericks does not install from app store, keeps failing

Got ready to download the OS x Mavericks today from the app store.
Clicked on install, entered my Apple ID, Starting downloading and boom, just hangs half way through, wont restart the download, have to keep logging off and back in to allow the app store to let me download it again. No other updates in the queue waiting to update, all i just wanna do is install Mavericks thats it. Please tell me how i can manually download this and make sure it completes and then install it offline if possible?
Thanking you in advance

There is nowhere other than the App Store to download it from. You may find other sites offering it online, but if you do, those sites are distributing it illegally and you should not trust those copies.
As to the problem, it's possible that this is an issue with your network. Try downloading on another network. Also, disable any anti-virus software, or any other kind of internet filtering/blocking software.

Iphone will not install from App store

I have a problem where my iphone will not install apps from the appstore.
Description:
If I select to install an app in appstore i get prompted for my password. When password is entered no installation starts, but after a brief moment the button to install the app is highlighted again as it were before I pressed it. The app never gets installed.
- I tried with several different apps with the same result.
- I am running IOS6.0 (10A403).
- 5GB free space on the phone
- I am positive that the apple ID password is entered correctly. I changed it twice to see if it made any difference, but no luck, and I also tried entering a faulty password. Withe the faulty password I got a dialogue saying the password is wrong. This dialogue does not appear with the correct password.
- I restarted the phone. No luck with that either.
- Phone is an Iphone 4 100% original.
Any suggestions for a solution?

Can you download the games in iTunes on your computer?
Do you have any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions that prevent you from installing apps or certain apps?

My iphon4 dose not download from app store it says "your request cannot be processed"

It is a few months my iphone4 never downloads

There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

Software updates not downloading from App store

Hi,
I have 9 updates available in the app store. When I select update all or even update one of them, all I get is the whirling ball. I turned off my antiviral software but it still isn't working. Any ideas?

I found the problem. I think the AVG antiviral was blocking the download. They updated it a couple of days ago. I turned it off. But it didn't solve the problem. I restarted my computer. When I opened AVG I noticed it was updating again. Im guessing that they found out that they were blocking updates. Now the updates are downloading and installing. I still have AVG turned of while I'm updating all my software for Yosemite..

Mavericks will not download from Appstore

My MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 model running Lion 10.7.5, wont download Mavericks. Using wi-fi internet connection, any ideas why or possible solutions, would be appreciated.

susanann,
I have a slow DSL connection, and it took about five hours for me to download Mavericks. (It’s over 5 GB, so I’d let it download overnight, and wasn’t observing its progress.) If your internet connection is similar to mine, then perhaps it actually needs that long to download?
Have you also checked to see if your download is paused in Launchpad, despite not pausing it there yourself?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

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 2010

Thanks 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
