    I have this problem also. I was able to download Mountain Lion to my daughter's Mac Mini without any trouble. However, I can't download this to my MacBook Pro. I have read other sites that suggest VirusBarrier is the problem and recommend turning it off in VirusBarrier>Preferences>Advanced. I have tried this and it still doesn't work, although some report that it has worked for them.

    Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store.  It has been purchased and redeemed.  I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow.  I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again).  When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad.  I have tried this several times.  I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air.  I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again.  Same results.  Anyone?

    Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
    But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • HT4854 Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Mountain Lion will not download. App just says "download" on purchase button, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

    My download took many many hours.  Not sure if that is because of our ISP or load on the network.  I also thought nothing was happening for my download.  Try this:
    Open App Store,
    click on Purchased
    You'll see Mountain Lion being downloaded and it will show the progress and estimated time to complete. 
    Take deep breaths and be patient. 

  • OS X Mountain Lion will not download

    I'm trying to download OS X Mountian Lion update and it will not download on my Mac Book Pro. I've purchased it and it says it's "downloading" although in about and hour the download progress bar has not moved. I've tried restarting the computer, pausing and unpausing the download, and nothing seems to help. I meet all the minimum requirements. I even took a look to see if my Macbook needed any software updates, which it didn't. Anyone have any advice? I've used the App store often to buy things so I don't know what's going on?

    So you have a Retina or Air MBP. In that case Apple sells a thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.
    But that may not be yor problem. It is not that you can't download MT Lion over yor WiFi connection, it should work just fine, but if the WiFi drops out for any reason the download will just stop and not continue. So it is best, In my opinion, to Wire the computer to the router.
    Just saying "I have the same problem" doesn't really help in trying to help you. What happens when you start the download? How fast is your internet connection? The MT Lion download file is 4.3+ GBs in size and will take from 30-40 minute to multiple hours to download depending on how fast an Internet connection you have.

  • Mountain lion will not download on mac air.

    I have a late 2010 mac air, purhcased mountain lion, clicked download and all it does is show me the circling icon at the top of the app store but does not proceed to download it. I can click it as many times as I like but it will not download!! I have restarted computer!! Very frustrating!

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • HT1725 Mountain Lion will not download

    I purchased Mountain Lion, it will not download, it is completely greyed out.

    Does the computer meet the requirements?
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    You need to provide more information about what happened when you tried to download it. Please provide a full description since "all grayed out" doesn't tell me anything really helpful.

  • Mountian Lion will not install

    I have been trying to install Mountian Lion and the installer program works fine, but when it goes to restart my MacBook Pro just restarts normally without installing Mountian Lion.  What am I doing wrong?

    Have  you tried re-downloading Mountain Lion? You will need to remove the installer application from the Applications folder to do this.
    As an add-on suggestion:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    And, if this doesn't get it to install properly consider reinstalling 10.7.5:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Mountain lion will not download to my MacBook

    Purchased Mountain Lion in the App store from my MacBook Pro (early '11 version).  All software was updated.  Would not download, instead got a window stating that the product distribution file could not be verified, it may be damaged or was not signed.  Tried to download it to my iMac and it worked just fine.  Also, after NEW updates on my MacBook, Safari will not open.

    What happens when you attempt the purchase?
    Error messages?
    Does your Mac meet all the requirements?

  • Lion will not download from install screen

    I'm selling a mid-2007 MacBook. I erased the hard drive, then restarted with command-R. This brought up a few options, including to install OS X Lion. I got on wifi, signed into my App Store account for the download, and clicked through to the install screen. But the progress bar on the download has not progressed at all in 45 min. It says "Downloading additional components. Your Computer will restart automatically." Could anybody explain this?
    Thanks!

    You cannot install your copy of Lion on the machine. Do the following instead.
    What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Include the original discs that came with the computer and your Snow Leopard DVD as well when you sell or give it away.

  • Mountain Lion will not download says The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." Help....

    Mountain Lion cannot download, need help. Says "The product distribution file could not be identified it may be damaged or was not signed". What do I do?????

    If you have Intego VirusBarrier X6 installed
    1. Open /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.
    2. Click on the "Surf" button.
    3. Click on the "Ad Banner Filter" tab.
    4. Click "OFF" next to "Banner advertisement filter".
    5. Start the computer in Safe Boot, then restart the computer into normal mode.
    If don't not have Intego Virus Barrier installed
    1. Verify that the date and time is correct on the computer.
    2. Safe Boot once, then restart normally, then try downloading again.
    3. Try with a different user account if the issue persists
    If the issue persists
    Install Lion onto an empty partition (internal or external).
    Note: You can Use Disk Utility to live partition the internal drive and create a second partition large enough to install Lion.
    Start from the clean installation of Lion.
    Download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Note that the original startup disk can be set as the destination for Mountain Lion during the installation process.

  • OS X 10.6.8 - Mountain lion will not download. Error: "We could not complete your purchase."

    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:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20081398-263/os-x-10.7-cannot-be-installed-on-certain-drives/
    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.

  • Mountain Lion will not download

    I have purchase Mountain Lion and click the Download button but nothing happens.
    Anyone got a fix? I have tried this on 2 different Macs.
    Thanks

    No, I don't see the download in the launchpad or the blue progress on the launchpad icon. I suspect that it is a disk space issue. I am investigating and will let you know.
