Still unable to download Mountain Lion, always get this message "Could not complete your purchase, Unable to verify file distribution. It may be damaged or unsigned." !!! Do you have an idea about what's going on ?
Try starting up in Safe Mode..http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
Try the App store again. -
When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps. -
Ap store says "we could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer". I'm running 10.6.8 duel core intel with 15gb of memory. Any ideas on why I can't download?
Thanks.If the OP has this much RAM in their iMac, certain this Mac can run Mountain Lion.
The reason it might not be installing is that 15 GBs of RAM.
Your iMac should have (4) equal sized, 4 GB sticks of RAM for a total of 16 GBs.l
If your iMac is only reporting that there is only 15 GBs of RAM, you have a RAM stick that is either not seated in its slot properly or is defective/going bad.
This maybe the reason that it won't download it.
Also could be you are running out of free space on your HD.
You need, at least 15-20 % or greater free space left on your HD. -

"We could not complete your purchase - The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed".

If you are running v10..7 Lion, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
For 10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
If that doesn't help, try the following..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

I am currently running OS X 10.6.8 on an iMac (model identifier iMac11,1). I have purchased Mountain Lion so that we can run Adobe CC. I have been advised that Mavericks is not compatible with our proxy server.
When attempting download from the Mac app store I receive this error:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
The following is shown in console when attempting to download:
28/11/13 10:07:24 AM App Store[1824] *** Assertion failure in -[ISDistributionManager verifyDistributionAtURL:allowsDevSign:error:distributionController:], /SourceCache/Pisa/Pisa-60.8/Source/ISDistributionManager.m:146
Please help! I have read many discussions and there doesn't seem to be a fix for this as yet. Any ideas?
Thanks.The following article pointed me in a better direction:

I tried to go the partition route, but for some reason the operation failed.
I decided to attempt a Lion install again afterwards anyway, but once again it failed, but now my whole system was hosed and could not revert back to Snow Leopard.
I did a restore from time machine. Once that completed, I attempted to install Lion again, and ta da! it works now.
What a pain. -

Guys I'm facing a problem related to App Store. I managed to update my system to Version 10.7.4 to try to sort out the issue but again I cannot update/buy any apps, OS X ML included.
The message is: "we could not complete your purchase: unknown error"
I tried erasing the cache of App Store, log off and in, restart the system...nothing!
Can Anybody help me, please? I'm a Mac user less than a year but I never had serious issues before.
Thanks
