Mountain lion wont download. Message "application could not be downloaded" appearing.

Tried to downloaded lion through wifi and ethernet at two separate locations and message keeps poping up with "application could not be downloaded".
I can download other applications from the app store on the mac.
Mac was purchased only last year and am currently running snow leopard as I had reservations about lion.
It did start to download on my internet dongle, however I dont have enough on my account to download the full update.
If anyone could suggest some options, would be great.

The Lion update MUST be made from a computer running the latest Snow Leopard release of 10.6.8
Please be sure to check your must-have applications to ensure that they are Lion campatible. There is an excellent Wiki that lists apps and their Lion-compatibility status.

Hope this helps.

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Mountain Lion wont download to my hard drive

Whenever I open up the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" and after I press continue, and agree to the terms and conditions, it tells me OS X cannot be installed on my hard drive and when I quit and start the Installer, and I go through everything I just did, it now shows me a picture of the hard drive image faded, so when I click on it, it says "The disk is used for Time Machine backups" but it wont let me install OS X Mountain Lion still and I checked and I am not using my hard drive for Time Machine backups as well as not using Time Machine at all.

Hello to everyone that helped me.
I have tryed all the solutions that you have offered, but with no sucsess.
I have also tryed to contact the support from the AppStore, but I only got the answer please contact our other collegues, from the Technical Support unit.
I tryed as the last atemped to reinstall Lion 10.7 through the AppStore (by going to purchases) after I went through the process, downloading and installing, I could also purchase, download and install Mountainlion.
(one small hick-up, after I finished downloading Lion, the AppStore gave me the same Message as before:
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I just pressed the button to download, again. After that I had no more issues.)
I hope that this will help you.
Best Regards
Rene
Hello,
In my case, that would not be possible since before the message I have got , the system said
"We could not complete your App Store request" or something similar. And the only choice I had, is to click on OK button. As I said, the only way I found is to start from Mac OS 10.6 to succeed in buying, not only downloading, but simply buying Mountain Lion.

Buy Mountain Lion: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

Hi community,
When trying to buy Mountain Lion I get: "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.”, any clue on how to fix this issue? It only happens in one of my computers.
In the console I get an error when trying to purchase it:

1) I deleted the /var/folders/8l folder (gets recreated when opening the app), no result.
2) Tried to check "Best attempt" for both OCSP and CRL certificate management in Key Chain.
No result in any way.
Any idea?

Hello
It can be an issue related to antivirus so disable it or download in safe mode

TS1702 OS X MOUNTAIN LION WONT DOWNLOAD

Just as the title says really. Its been downloading for 48 hours and the app store 'purchases' just says 'waiting ...'
The 'pause' button is blanked out as well.
Any ideas please and there appears to be no free help line to call even though its cost me £13.99 and I am not carting this 27 inch imac 20 miles to the nearest store.
I'd rather get a refund and stick with the older op.
NOT HAPPY APPLE.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Does this post help : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19080002#19080002
And/or have you tried quitting the store and re-opening it ?
Otherwise you might get better help if you post in the Mac App Store forum.

Mountain lion wont download. I keep clicking but nothing is happening, Mountain lion wont download. keep clicking but nothing is happening

I have purchased the package already then I went to my purchases and clicked on the "download" button it would load for awhile but after that nothing happened. The download didn't start and it is getting frustrating help!

Check the links in the "More Like This" sidebar to the right, here. They don't show you those when you post, but they appear afterward. There might be something in there.

Try restarting your router, your modem, and your Mac. Then, try again.
If that fails, can you find another network to download it on?

Mail Badges Do Not Clear in Mountain Lion (and Missing Messages)

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my new message badges do not clear automatically after reading my email. If I get 5 new messages, and then read them all the app shows the message itself as being read, but the badge next to the account and in the dock shows 5 new message.
Also, sometimes Mail will not show any messages when I switch accounts or folders. I have to close the app and reopen to see my messages.

You could try deleteing and re adding your mail account. But make sure your account type is "IMAP" before doing so. If it is a "POP" account, you will loose all of your messages so it is important you make sure the account type is IMAP before deleting and re adding.

TA48312 I have purchased Mountain Lion but I can't download it. (the application could not be downloaded). Please help!

I have purchased Mountain Lion but I can't download it. (the application could not be downloaded). Please help!

Absolutely. A proxy can prevent the software from downloading and installing.
I realize you have already purchased Lion from the App Store but a workaround in your case would be the thumb drive.
