What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

have lion 10.7.4 up graded from tiger 10.5.8. tried to download mountain lion but received a message that mountain lion is not compatible with my computer. anyone have this problem or suggestion?
It's actually not the chip... it's the drivers for the video card. this is what my friend who does IT work said.
"The drivers for your Mac's video card are not 64bit compatible even though the computer itself is. Mountain Lion has done away with all 32bit OS components so it only runs on full 64bit MAcs now"
So even though I updated my video card to a newer version and my computer itself is 64bit... apple didn't create a driver for it that was 64 bit. My hardware is fine for this update and the chip can handle it. It can handle all my 64 bit programs just fine. It's apple forcing me to update and buy a new expensive computer. So much for long lasting computer... they last long but they won't be supported very long.
Why not release a version of mountain lion that supports 32 bit graphics alongside the 64 bit? Wasn't that what grand central was going to accomplish? This is rubbish. -
HT1338 Mountain Lion stops downloading at 41.3 mb's. Shows calculating and does not move on!
Trying to download Mountain Lion on a Mac mini and it is stopping at 41.3 Mb's. It shows "calculating" but does not move on beyond that stage! Version 10.6.8 is the current OS... Any suggestions?
I am having difficulties too!. I have found a way to push it along but don't know if in the end this will eventually succeed and I don't know why I am having to do this.
For what it is worth.
But going to the app LaunchPad and clicking on the in progress OS X Mountain Lion download and pausing it momentarily and then clicking it again, I have gotten my download to keep moving along. Again I don't know why and I have had to do this several time to get the download to progress to 3.11GB out of the total 4.37GB. So I'm three quarter of the way thru and about to do the process again to get the apparently stalled download going again.....
OK. It is again moving along..... now to 3.27GB
Too me it has the symptoms of the download process finding it has a bad package and repeatly trying again until it stops trying. At that point is just stops. When one kicks it by doing the LaunchPad stop and go, I think it checks finds a problem and restarts the download of the problem packets .... that's my theory....
My download is now up to 3.79 out of 4.27GB.
I have been messing with this on three computers in my network for a couple weeks..... This is the furthest I have gotten..... Perhaps I will succeed today....
BTW - It appears to have stop again at 3.79.... I;m going to play the stop/go game in Launchpad....
After about aminute it has started downloading again.....
Now 3.80GB.....
Perhaps Apple should look more carefully at it's caching servers...... I think they are either timing out connections or somehow making the past never fail Apple Downloaded look pretty advanced compared to this stop and go model....
I am now up to 4.03 and downloading with about 10 minutes to go....

I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

I've always had PSE 7.0, but I guess my computer has an issue reading the Installation CD I have for it, so I tried to manually download it from the official website, but when I go trough the whole process, it does not want to accept my product key number... What do I do?
It's either my computer because it's old, or something is wrong with my cd installer. I don't know, but I just want to install my PSE 7.0, but it does not work even on the official website with my product key #.

Where can I find a download version of PS CS4 Ext as my new computer does not have a disc drive.
Where can I find a download version of PS CS4 Extended as my new computer does not have a disc drive. I have the original disc and would like to get the updates. Can anyone help?
People successfully download the software from that link daily.
What was the exact error message you got? 404 Access Denied?
Did you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you clicked the download links? -

When I try to download an iTunes software update i get an error message that my start up disk does not have enough room. What do I do?
You probably have run out of space, I would delete (or move to an external drive) things that aren't being used as much.

RESTORING: At the moment I am downloading a movie on the itunes store my 8GB ipod touch (not my computer) (which I have already paid for) and I need to restore my ipod. Will restoring it stop/delete my downloading movie? what else does it delete?
Try DFU mode and then restore
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is. -
Why does my mouse sometimes cause my screen to erase as I move it? It started to happen after I downloaded Mountain Lion.
You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if it fixes the problem. To get out of Safe Mode, restart as usual.

Hello...
I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems. That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers. I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
Anyone able to help me out on this?
Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
Post relates to: Palm m515Just in case it is not clear... that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post. Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself. The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer. In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either. I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak... you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
So... any ideas my friend? It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck. I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?
Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
