mountain lion keeps saying downloading but nothing ever happens. What do i do?

Hey cwicke11,
Try installing mountain lion in a new user. It will install on all users anyways.
To create a new user click >System Prefrences>Users & Groups(Or Accounts)>Unlock the lock in the lower left hand corner and click the plus above it. Name the user anything you want you can get rid of that user later.
Just log into new user and open the App store. Sign in with your Apple ID and go into the "Purchases" tab at the top. Download Mountain Lion from there and you should be good.

Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

HT1632 My ipod seems to be stuck in a "Loop" as my nike+ tries to download, just keeps saying, "downloading" but nothing happens, runs my battery down. What can I do?

My ipod seems to be "stuck" downloading of workout information to Nike+. Ipod keeps saying it is downloading but doesn't complete download, runs my battery down and my computer doesn't now recognize my ipod and I get "error" message (2005). What can I do to fix this problem?

I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.

Hi Mirrormonolith,
Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
Please let me know of that worked.

I previously had an iPad 4 but have now got the Air. Everything was backed up to the cloud but my various photo albums do not contain all my photos. It just says downloading but it never happens.

I have just upgraded to the Air but am having trouble with my photos. Everything was backed up to the cloud before I set up the new iPad but many of my photo albums are empty or contain only one or two pictures and it says it is downloading but nothing happens. I upgraded from a 4. I have had all the iPads and have never had this problem before. Can anyone help please?

reset all settings

Try downloading it with another browser.
If that doesn't work, try following along with this Apple article -> iTunes: Downloading iTunes for Windows using Internet Explorer

Firefox just won't open. I get the little timer that indicates that something is happening but nothing ever happens, no error message, firefox just doesn't open at all. Internet Explorer opens fine and firefox opened fine yesterday.

Firefox has always worked great, no problems. Today it just would not open at all. The hourglass showed up like it was going to open but nothing would happen. I then right clicked the icon and chose open and the same thing happened which was nothing. I get no error message at all.

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

I have an iphone 3gs. It was jail broken. I reset it back to factory settings and now all i have on the screen is the apple logo.I have hooked the phone upto itunes but nothing is happening. What do i do? Can someone help please???

Sorry, due to the Terms of Use problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed here.
You can only get help from those people who told you to modify the software, only they know what the jailbreak did to the firmware.

Mountain lion is not downloading but it's on the side of my computer how long does it take to download

How long does mountain lion take download b/c it is just sitting there idle

actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

Lost connection while downloading a book. Can't get it to finish after reconnecting. Status says downloading but nothing happens

I lost Internet connection while downloading a book through iBook app. Now it won't finish. If I go to the iBook store, the status says "downloading" I can't delete it or get it to download. Anyone have a suggestion?

I have the same problem, but it happened when I downloaded a sample of a book so I can not do the solution offered by Beachdogz. I would just buy the book but I can't because it says downloading so there's no buy option. Actually it says downloading downloading (twice) if that helps.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Mountain lion will not download from the app store. what do I do?

Please help. Purchaced mountain lion upgrade. shows up app store under purchased. click on download. Nothing happens....My iMac meets all system requirements. Stuck in appland. Also, I have heard bad things about mountain lion. should I even install? Or can I bypass and go to OS X Mavericks? Confused & afraid now...

If you meet these requirements you can upgrade directly to Mavericks: OS X Mavericks: System Requirements. However, before upgrading I would check the compatability of your 3rd party application at RoaringApps - Application compatibility and feature support for OS X and iOS.
If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

HT203167 App upgrades and install keeps saying waiting but nothing happens

I have an touch ipod. Since getting the new ios6 software my app ungrades and downloads are not working. It keeps on saying "waiting" on my home screen but never actually starts to install it. Oh and since getting ios 6 it doesnt prompt me for account nr.

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

My ipod wont install apps it says installing but nothing is happening

ive tried to install different apps on my ipod after i done an update on it and now its not installing them its been saying its waiting for more than 48 hours

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy... Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
