Mountain lion download failed

I tried to download Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro 3 times and each time it got "stuck" I had it trying for over a half hour each time. I restarted my computer twice. I moved the Mountain Lion icon from the dock into the trash and now that won't even appear. When I go to the App store it says it's on a download.
Thanks in advance

  • Mountain lion download fails after 53mb

    Download for Mountain Lion fails after 53MB, any idea why?

    Yes, the area after 53MB has a bad sector on your hard drive and can't write the data any further, this is especially confirmed if you downloaded twice and it stops in the same spot again.
    It might be a data cap by your ISP if you have such a thing, or if this only occured once, it could have been a network glitch, try again to confirm. Check in Activitiy Monitor that you have enough free space on the drive, it's ideal to keep below 80% filled on hard drives. If you need to remove stuff, start with Movies copy to a external drive and delete the originals, then reboot so OS X will know the new space is available.
    If it stops again, and you don't have any other reason. What you can do is open Disk Utility and select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and Erase > Erase Free Space with the Zero Data option.
    What this will do (after some time as it takes quite a bit to perform) is to write Zero's across all the Empty or Free to be overwritten space on your Macintosh HD boot partition (not your data), in the process it checks the write for confirmation (which if it doesn't work) on bad sectors the hard drive will map off that bad sector, never to be written to again.
    After this has completed, reboot the machine and try your download again.

  • Mountain Lion download fails

    My Macbook Air is on version 10.7.5 and I have 2GB of space. I have tried downloading Mountain Lion 3 times now, and it says that it failed every time. Why is this happening? How can I download Mountain Lion? Do I not have enough space?

    You have way too little space.  It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10 GB free space be maintained for optimal system and application performance.  The full Lion install package is 3.77 GB in size.  You'll need to off load enough files to get to the 10 GB free space and then try again. 
    If you continue adding files to your MBA and get down in the MB range it can come to a standstill, lockup and/or refuse to boot.  Not a place where you want to be.

  • HT4463 OSX Mountain Lion download fails using MacBook wireless connection

    I've tried to complete this download about 8-10 times.  It fails at some point, and there when I restart from Purchases, I have to start from the beginning.  What's going on?  I'm connected on AC power, have PowerSave options turned off so it won't go into sleep, and I've disabled all screensavers.  Yet, when I come back to my download after about ~3 hours (into a 4 hour download), the Mac has been "reset" to user login screen.
    Also when the app is downloading, the only progress bar I have is either in Purchases or in Launchpad:  So this quote from your help document is wrong
    When you find an app that you like, click Buy (you may be asked to sign in with your Apple ID). For more information about Apple ID, please see this article. When you click Buy, the app will begin downloading automatically, and the app icon will be added to your Dock with a progress bar below the app icon. Once the app is done installing, the progress bar below the app icon will go away.

  • Mountain Lion download problems with Lion 10.7.5 (no VirusBarrier issue)

    I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. From the factory it came with Snow Leopard but has since been upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.5. I do not have VirusBarrier, I am writing from a recently clean-installed Lion.
    I have now been troubleshooting my Mac for several days. When I wrote first, I had an issue with Safari having been damaged and so I wasn't able to reinstall Lion - but after a certain extremely helpful community member I finally succeeded in installing Lion.
    But the issues with the App Store still persist. All my Mountain Lion downloads fail, getting the error message "can't verify, might be corrupted" what many here have also been getting. However, most solutions were related to VirusBarrier (which I don't have), or /var/folders errors (Console does not show any var-related errors).
    So if it's not a var-related issue, or related to firewalls or virus softwares (I have disabled the Firewall and I have no virus software installed), what could it be?
    When the download and install of ML failed last time, Console showed the following messages:
    11/30/12 11:54:44.617 AM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [235] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [567]

It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.}
    ...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:
    11/30/12 12:29:40.515 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [817] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [781]

    Problem elimination:
    * I don't think this is a router-related issue: I have downloaded and installed other softwares outside App Store successfully
    * As said, I don't think this has anything to do with Firewall or Virus settings
    * Nor has this anything to do with /var/folders as far as I can tell
    What I've tried so far:
    * Repaired disk permissions several times
    * Rebooted
    * Restarted App Store
    * Following one advise found on the net, I deleted preflight.pfpkg just in case
    * All the time I have made sure my OS has the most recent Software Updates installed (most of them downloaded successfully, while with Safari and OS 10.7.5. I had to try several times before they were downloaded succesfully)
    I just reinstalled my OS X Lion, only to use it to jump on to Mountain Lion - so I am pending my migration until ML is installed. I would like to fix this soon, since I'd like to get the migration done and my real work started. I would really appreciate your help.
    I'm not very adept at using Console or Terminal to troubleshoot, so if someone could guide me through the problem identification, that would be great. Unless someone already knows exactly what's going wrong and can show me a working solution - that'd save my day!
    Thanks!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • Location of Mountain Lion Download?

    For some reason yet to be discovered I always seem to have issues downloading large files on my Mac.
    I have a work around where I download the SW packages at work and save to a USB thumb drive and then copy and install on my Mac.
    Can someone tell me where the Mountain Lion download is located and what I need to do if I already have the purchase recoreded in the apps store?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Mmmmm now thats a problem!
    Any ideas why when I download it tells me that I have a "hash mismatch" problem. I guess that the checksum is failing????
    I've noticed in the past that large downloads seem to get corrupted.
    Any suggestions or workarounds?
    In the past with major updatyes that have don this then I've gone to the downloads page and downloaded from my PC at work and then copied the .dmg to my mac and its worked.
    This problem only seems to have started when I moved to a cable modem from DSL?? not sure if this is a clue or not
    Thanks

  • Need a Mountain Lion download link!

    Had to start from original install disks on mid 2009 MBP when Mavericks upgrade failed miserably. Reinstalled up to Snow Leopard. My previous ML purchase was nowhere to be found (not in App Store). Spent $20 to repurchase and now Apple is sending it to my shipping address in a few days? I need a Mountain Lion download link! Time machine is formatted to ML. I'm overseas and spent a whole day downloading Mavericks - afraid to do that again. I'll stick with ML if I can just download it again.

  • How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

    I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?
    Judy

    Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.

  • HT4718 Can't find iLife after Mountain Lion download?

    After my mountain lion download (done by a genius at the apple store so I know I didn't mess it up!), ilife isn't here. It's also not under the "purchase" section of the app store like support.apple.com says it should be. help?

    New Macs come with iLife. However, if you did a clean install you're not going to have iLife.
    However, the original install disk that came with your Mac should have an iLife installer included.

  • Slow internet after mountain lion download

    web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

    I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service.  At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine.  I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed?  Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet.  This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion.  Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

  • After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

    After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

    I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works!  ;-)

  • My OS X Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I can't get it to download at all.

    My OS X 7 Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I have a Mountain Lion shadow on my doc saying "paused" but I can't seem to restart the download

    If the download does not resume, then Quit the App Store app and delete the partial download in your Applications folder. Then you will have to start the download all over again from the "Purchases" section of the App store.

  • Can I stagger the OS X Mountain Lion download?

    Hello,
    Can I stagger the OS X Mountain Lion download as long as convenient?

    That depends quite a bit on the speed of the links between your computer and the servers sending the download. Your immediate link to the internet and the link from your modem/router to your Mac are ikely to be the slowest links.
    Absent information about your link speeds, "hours and hours" is the best answer I can give.
