OS X Lion download problem

I purchased Lion and started downloading. Then I paused the download and closed lid on MacBook pro. when I came back and turned it back on, the icon in the dock desappeared. I restarted computer but no installation of lion has started. so Where is it? I decided to re-download. Not sure if I'll get charged twice. now the icon is on the dock but it only says "waiting". If someone could suggest what is going on. thanks.

Hi,
Go to the App Store and go to the Store Menu and come down to Check for Unfinished Downloads.
I doubt that you will be charged twice.
Hope this helps.

  • Mountain Lion download problems with Lion 10.7.5 (no VirusBarrier issue)

    I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. From the factory it came with Snow Leopard but has since been upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.5. I do not have VirusBarrier, I am writing from a recently clean-installed Lion.
    I have now been troubleshooting my Mac for several days. When I wrote first, I had an issue with Safari having been damaged and so I wasn't able to reinstall Lion - but after a certain extremely helpful community member I finally succeeded in installing Lion.
    But the issues with the App Store still persist. All my Mountain Lion downloads fail, getting the error message "can't verify, might be corrupted" what many here have also been getting. However, most solutions were related to VirusBarrier (which I don't have), or /var/folders errors (Console does not show any var-related errors).
    So if it's not a var-related issue, or related to firewalls or virus softwares (I have disabled the Firewall and I have no virus software installed), what could it be?
    When the download and install of ML failed last time, Console showed the following messages:
    11/30/12 11:54:44.617 AM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [235] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [567]

    ...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:

    Problem elimination:
    * I don't think this is a router-related issue: I have downloaded and installed other softwares outside App Store successfully
    * As said, I don't think this has anything to do with Firewall or Virus settings
    * Nor has this anything to do with /var/folders as far as I can tell
    What I've tried so far:
    * Repaired disk permissions several times
    * Rebooted
    * Restarted App Store
    * Following one advise found on the net, I deleted preflight.pfpkg just in case
    * All the time I have made sure my OS has the most recent Software Updates installed (most of them downloaded successfully, while with Safari and OS 10.7.5. I had to try several times before they were downloaded succesfully)
    I just reinstalled my OS X Lion, only to use it to jump on to Mountain Lion - so I am pending my migration until ML is installed. I would like to fix this soon, since I'd like to get the migration done and my real work started. I would really appreciate your help.
    I'm not very adept at using Console or Terminal to troubleshoot, so if someone could guide me through the problem identification, that would be great. Unless someone already knows exactly what's going wrong and can show me a working solution - that'd save my day!
    Thanks!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • HT1338 Mountain Lion download problems

    Tried to get Mountain Lion download/install on my computer.  Got message "An error has occured" so can't download.  Computer is up to date with plenty of space.

    Went to Genius Bar.  Solved my problem but I'm not sure how helpful.  He ran some diagnostics (hardware diagnostic progeam; Mac Disk Utility for Hard Drive Verication and repair.  Don't think he found much wrong.  Then, he went for download on their connection, which worked just fine.  He explained it was because of the extremely fast download connection.  So, I guess you have to get your Mac to somewhere with a super-fast connection (Apple store, but also our local libraries have a very fast connection) for download.
    That's all for this problem, as far as I can tell.  Over and out.

  • Mountain Lion download problem

    I have been trying to download Mountain Lion for about 5 hours now and I keep getting errors saying the download cannot be completed. The last error I recieved was The download could not be completed becasue of a Hash Mismatch Error.
    A download of about 4GB of data on my Internet Connection would usually take about 1 hour.
    If I do get to succesfully download the Installer will the Installation begin automatically or is it started manually. I would prefer manually so I can make a backup copy first.
    Christo
    I am on a Late 2011 13' Macbook Pro, OsX 10.7.5

    Contacted Apple Store Tech support requesting a solution. I received a reply from a gentleman telling me his area of expertise and that this problems didn't fit in his area of expertise and suggested I look on online forums and the like for a solution!!
    All I have found out is this is a very common problem
    Thanks for http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account. Have not received a reply from Apple after 48 Hours.
    I have tried:
    Logging out and back onto the Online Store
    Deleting the Apple Store cache on my HD
    Connecting via an Ethernet cable instead of WI-FI
    Using my iPhone 3G Data, teathered
    Connecting via a totally different network
    Restarting, restarting, restarting...
    Nothing has worked. And still no solutions from Apple. I kinda of thought they might have suggested I go into a real Apple store and have them put a copy on my Mac or something.

  • HT202159 OSX Mountain Lion download problems

    Hello,
    I have been trying to download OSX Mountain Lion from the appstore on my 10.6.8 mac mini but the file stops downloading after about 10mb. I was able to download 10.7 without any problems but I am not able to downlaod 10.8 on either of my two machines. Both stop at about 10mb. Anyone seen this or have any possible solutions?
    Thanks!
    Travis

    I have seen this, unfortunately there are 100 & 1 different things that can cause this. If you want to trouble shoot, let's power-cycle both your modem and router and see how that goes.

  • Mountain Lion Downloading Problem!

    Mountain Lion is not downloading.I dont know whats the problem, the internets working perfectly fine but the downloading bar is absolutely stationary.Anyone facng similar issue? Help please!

    When I install OS X Mountain Lion this is the error I get: This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. - Delete this copy of the application, and go to the Purchases page of the Mac App Store to download a new copy.
    This is a free upgrade with my purchase of the new rMBP.

  • HT202159 osx lion download problems

    downloading OSX lion on a 5 month old imac keeps getting stuck downloading? I have paused/ resumed but still no good, I have adequate memory & disc space anyone else had problem?

    Quit the App Store.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
    Disable anti virus software and any third party internet enhancement downloading software, (ie., Speed Download, etc.)
    Relaunch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads.

  • HT202159 Mountain Lion download problems

    I have tired to download Mountain Lion twice.  The first time the download just froze.  The second time, in the App Store 'purchases' secetion, place of the "RESUME" tab, it says "An error has occurred".  I have the option to BUY the app again, but am afraid of getting charged again.  What can I do?

    It is a BIG problem....
    I am trying to download it, but is becoming a undesireble thing.
    Once, it gets an error, or it says that the file is corrupted, or it says that and I have to log in and it starts all over again from the begging.
    What a huge BUG.
    Apple should try to correct this

  • Mountain Lion download problems

    I have a mac pro (early 2011). I'm trying to install Mountain Lion. The download goes for a few minutes and then stops and will not continue. I'm confident my Mac will support Mountain Lion- Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 is the version I currently run. Any advice?

    This has worked for some people
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.  Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy.  It won't charge you again.
    Another option is to boot into the Safe Mode  to try and download it.

    I bought Lion, when I try to instal the folowing message appears The Software could not verified. It may have been corrupted or tempered with during the installation.

  • Lion download problem

    I purchased the IMAC Lion upgrade, and it won't download. Been sitting with an empty bar saying it is downloading for a couple of hours. Any ideas?

    Tech support doesn't know why, but when I look at purchased App's, it says I have another 2 days of downloading to go. Thats on a T1 line...

  • Mountain Lion download getting stuck at 79MB w/ no internet connectivity issues

    I just purchased Mountain Lion via the App Store but everytime I try to download it, the download gets stuck around 79.4MB and the download time just gets longer and longer without the download actually pausing. Pausing and resuming have the same problem, the file size just goes up to 80+MB before dropping back down to 79.4MB again. I have tried canceling, reopening the App store and re-downloading several times already without success. Please help! I went through Mountain Lion download problems in the forum but I can't find a solution. I'm downloading onto an iMac on a broadband Wifi personal home network and can surf the internet without problems and as quickly as usual. For reference, my connectivity speed at this time is usually enough to download a 300MB file in 15 mins to half an hour.

  • I cancelled my OS lion download after a few minutes and told them I do not want it and they have not put the credit back on my account. I reported the problem and have heard nothing after a week. How do you get to talk to the "Store"
