Mountain Lion download stop after 2.15 GB.

Have tried for days to download Mountain Lion, but it sop after 2.15 gb every time.
Any idea about how to solve this problem?

Hi sky195, tnx for your repost. I looked into the problem, and i know many had that issue.
I finaly after hundres of times (at least it felt like it) ended up  with instaling Hotspot shield and let it work. I did not touch it for two days, and when almost had given upp the project, it was finaly there

  • 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 stops at a certain point (79.34Mb)

    I'm trying to download Mountain Lion. The download stops at a certain point (79.34Mb) and nothing I can do will restart it. I have followed the tips in the 'restarting a download' page and tried cancelling the download and it always stops and the same point. The purchase page in appstore shows a Pause button, but pausing and resuming doesn't restart the download. What can I do now?

  • Why is my Mountain Lion download hanging after 53 MB

    I am trying to download Mountain Lion from the AppStore and am unable to complete the download.  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 with OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  I have done the partial download multiple times, trying to pause and resume as well as canceling and purchasing the app store item again.  I have tried downloading while in Safe Mode.  Each time the download runs fine up to the point where it reaches 53.25 MB and then it hangs.  At that point it is frozen and doesn't  restart  no matter what I do. Does anybody have a similar problem?  Does anybody have a solution?

    Hi, I posted this reply on a similar discussion - this solved it for me...
    I was also getting stuck at 53.25mb and tried several solutions on the forum.
    A possible reason I have found is if you are (as I am) on BT Broadband using a 2-Wire Hub because there is apparently a 2GB download limit (not heard this of this before). I read this on MacRumors and that BT plan to release a firmware upgrade to sort the problem.
    In the meantime I switched to another non-BT wireless network in the same building and hey presto the download is flying.
    Haven't tried the hotspot shield solution.

  • HT202159 Mountain lion download stopped at middle.

    Hi Everyone,
    I purchased montain lion and started the download but at meantime it stoped and i couldnt manage start the download again, theres a error msg that says "an error has occured", great! what a suposed to do now!? does anyone had the same problem!?
    thanks

    I'm another who's had the 53.25MB failure issue, and it's 99.9% certain to be a router issue. If you're in the UK then the chances are you're with BT for your broadband. As mentioned above, there is a known issue with the 2Wire BT Business Hub, see link below, and probably other routers too.
    http://btbroadbandandhowtosurviveit.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/bts-2-wire-woes.html
    "If you want Mountain Lion, or any other large download, then you'll need to get another router, or firmware upgrade if available." That however can be a pain, and if BT don't play ball then an expensive one. There is another solution however, and one that means no contact with BT, call centres or your local PC World ...
    What I did was put in an old BTHomeHub that I had lying around to get it passed the 53.25MB point, and then paused the download while I reinstalled the 2Wire BT Business Hub. I then resumed the download and the whole 4+GB was on my iMac in a few minutes (well just over the hour). If you don't have a spare router, borrow one, you'll only need it to get the download passed the 53.25MB stage. For completeness, I waited until it was at about 150MB before pausing.
    Hope that helps some.

  • 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!  ;-)

  • HT202159 Download of Mountain Lion OSX stops

    Cannot download mountain lion.  Stops and shows no record of partial download. 

    I did that too...says there are no unfinished downloads. Also restarted my computer 3x. On that note, since purchasing it about 8 months ago...has only properly restarted 1 time!

  • Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now, no joy (have new iMac May 2012)

    Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now with resumes and restarts, no joy (have new iMac May 2012). Any ideas, please?
    Thanks, bb2804

    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?

  • Mountain Lion downloaded from App store will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! My Machine MacBook Pro  OS 10.6.8   Processor 2.66Ghz i

    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

  • 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]

    ...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:

    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?

  • 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.
