Mountain Lion won't download from App Store

Hello, I'm on the Mac OS X 10.6.8 and am currently trying to download Mountain Lion onto my computer. However, after I've made my purchase nothing happens when I try to download the software from the App Store. I've tried restarting my computer and App Store. Any ideas?

The loading bar for Mountain Lion actually showed up when I restarted my computer by using the software update. The downloading bar is still empty but I'm guessing I simply can expect quite some time for it to download?

  • Mountain Lion won't download from app store even after I've purchased it

    I have purchased and tried to download Mountain Lion OS X but the icon just says "waiting" and in the purchases tab on the App Store  it says "an error has occurred" and I can't click anything. What do I do? I just want to download it!

    i have resolved the issue.
    I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

  • 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?

  • IPhone 4 won't download from app store

    iPhone 4 won't download apps from app store. They start and then hang. This all started after I had to reset and restore
    My phone.

    This issue is happening on older editions of the phone as well.  I'm experiencing the issue with my 3GS and have the same issue when actually using iTunes on my MacBook. 

  • XCode 4.2.1 won't download from App Store

    I am new to the developers world. So I decided with great excitment to download and start using xcode. I go to the app in MAS and it just won't download it gets stuck at 10 mb. So I try to download the dmg from the developers site. This time it seems successful. But then when I try to use the dmg it says the file is corrupt. I just cant get to download or install this application? Why does everything seem so hard with the new operating systems!?
    I have not installed previous versions of this app and I am using OS 10.7.3, I am a paid developer account holder. All my specs seem to be fine to download and install, so why won't it work? Any light on this matter would be greatfully appreciated.

    found this and it seems to have worked for the APP Store Issue.
    Bad news is I have waisted almost 2 GIG of download getting them DMG from the Dev centre
    I had the same problem on a MacBook Air that ships with Lion
    This is how you fix it
    0. Close Every App (Safari, iTunes, AppStore, etc)
    1. Launch Finder
    2. Press CMD+SHIFT+G (or click on Go then Go To Folder)
    3. Type the following /var/folders
    4. Open up Console (Spotlight Console and launch it)
    5. Open The AppStore
    6. Try to buy something free and you will see this message "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    7. Switch to Console and look at the error message
    8/31/11 6:50:37.121 PM App Store: FRPurchaseManager: Preflight operation for 415571499 failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.appstore Code=0 "The product distribution file could not be verified.

It may be damaged or was not signed., NSUnderlyingError=0x7f9b2464ac40 "The requested URL was not found on this server."}
    In my case the problem was some file in the /var/folders/3p
    5. Quit AppStore
    6. I deleted the entire 3p folder (it gets recreated when you launch AppStore). If you really want to be safe, create a copy of that folder.
    You don't need to restart. Just Launch AppStore and it works!

  • IPhone4 won't download from App store anymore

    I have an iPhone4 and therefore cannot download iOS 8, but I also have the issue many are talking about, where I cannot download anything from the App store.  I thought it was because I have switched my App store from UK to Germany because I just moved here, but after reading comments, I think it's probably something else??  Please help!

  • Civ V: Gods & Kings won't download from App store

    I purchased Civ V a while ago from the App store and have been relatively please with it.
    I wanted to purchase the new expansion "Gods and Kings" through the app store, but it's not working.  I have updated my Civ V, and then have gone through the ingame DLC menu and clicked to buy Gods and Kings.  A popup appears asking me if I wish to purchase the expansion for it's listed price. I click yes.  I then must enter my apple ID password.  After doing so, another popup appears: "Improve Apple ID Security:  To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose three security questions and answers."  It then prompts me to again enter my apple ID password and click continue.  After doing that, the app store opens, but nothing appears, and the icon just spins and spins like it's working.  I've sat watching that screen for 10-15 minutes and nothing changes.  There's also the option of "Not Now".  If I select that, nothing happens.
    Does it just take forever and I have to wait?
    Is there a way to download the expansion, or are other people having this problem as well?  Is this an Aspyr problem, or Apple problem?

    I've been in touch with Aspyr, and everything they have suggested so far hasn't worked.
    The problem comes from when the app store asks me to select three security questions to proceed.  When I choose continue, the app store opens on a blank screen, and appears to be working, but nothing happens.  I never get to choose my security questions.
    I'm still in contact with Aspyr, but decided I'd reply here in hopes that someone could help.

  • Motion 5 won't download from app store

    Any help? I'm on my MacBook Pro, Brand new

    Just to give you a better idea of whats going on, I'm on my MacBook Pro, I tried downloading Motion 5 from the Mac App Store and when I click "Buy App", in the top left(Next to the back and foward buttons) I keep on seeing  that little progress indicater(the circle). The only problem is I don't see the app being downloaded in the dock and the progress indicater doesn't go away, as if it's unable to download. My MacBook Pro is up-to-date, could the problem be that I have like $1.00 in my itunes account?

  • Facetime won't download from App Store

    I bought faceTime, have it on 2 imac computers, trying to download it on my mac air and get the sign in, buy sign in add password, password is right but nothing happens. Have check to see that it is still the beta in applications. I am happy to pay for it again if there is a limit to how many computers you can put it on.
    the computer is authorized, 10.6.6,
    Any suggestions,
    thanks
    Mike

    I put it on two Macs. From the FAQ's I read you can download it as many times as you need to as long as all your Macs are using the same Apple ID.
    I logged in to my Apple account from my second Mac and under purchases (even though it said it as already downloaded) I clicked on it again and the "buy" came up. When I hit the buy button (figuring that the most it would cost me was $.99, it just downloaded and installed on my MacBook, same as on my MacPro and all works just fine. And no additional charges.

  • HT4569 In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

    In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

    How do I speed this up.  I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right. 
    The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
    I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
    What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

  • 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
