Os x lion is unavailable in the app store when I try to reinstall it on a new hard drive
I have a 2007 mac book pro that has been working perfectly, but my hard drive is dead. So I bought an external hard drive, formatted it to install OS X on it.
When the computer starts I only have the recovery mode.
When I try to re install lion with the usual recovery mode, everything is ok until I enter my apple ID, then the procedure stops and I have an alert saying that "This item is temporarily unavailable, try again later".
Thx!
My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

I am trying to reinstall Lion after erasing my hard drive. Erase went smoothly, but now when I try to reinstall, after prompted to enter my Apple ID and pw, it says "Item temporarily unavailable from the App store. Please try again later." HelP!l
Sometimes there are just server problems with the App Store. Only thing that I can offer is to wait a day or so and try again and, if still no luck, contact the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
Good luck,

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

Hello, might be good luck on your part!
Anyway...

I am currently running OS X Yosemite on my MAC. I cannot download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store. I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1
iPhoto 8.1.2.
OS X 10.10.2 is correct.
Your only options are to:
1 - upgrade to 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0
or
2 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from an online retailer like Amazon.com , install iPhoto 9.0 and upgrade it to 9.4.3 via these updaters:
update to iPhoto 9.2.1
update to iPhoto 9.3
update to iPhoto 9.3.2
update to iPhoto 9.4
and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3
From there you may be able to get iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store but not sure. -
I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
How can i download OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store?
ow can i download OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store ?
You don't. For a while, Apple sold 10.7 usb sticks, but they don't now. See if you can find one of them lying around. Otherwise, the mac app store is your only option. (P.S. To even get 10.7, you have to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and buy a download code. Lion is not availible on the app store without a code).

Error massageThere was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)
I receive update notification for my software which I try to download then I receive a message there is a problem with Apple store please try again later which I do without
success. When I cancel out I receive pop-up with the message"There was an
error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)".
Most of the software I update by uninstalling and reinstall.
Mountain Lion updates work fine
iMovie I can not update and I can not unistall using Appcleaner
Icloud I can ot update and of course I am frightened to unistall.
I have contacted Apple Support and find I am sent from one place to another.(I do beleive there are no humens in Apple Support it is all computers)
This is not an isolated case as I seethe same question popping up in many other forums all with different remodies. I am new to Apple and I am therefore uneasy at trying some of others advice.
There must be a solution.Regretably, none of the above solutions has resolved this problem for me.
Whenever I try to perform updates (in my case, Xcode and iPhoto both want to update), I receive the following error:
An error occurred during purchase.
(of course, I am not trying to purchase anything, it is a free update)
If I press Retry, the above repeats until I press Cancel, then I see:
We could not complete your request.

I have been "trying again later" for three weeks now, with no resolution in sight. -
'there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (4)'
Hi there,
I have been trying to download Lion for the past week, and I have been getting the following error everytime I sign in with my Apple ID:
'We could not complete your request.
There was an error in the app store. Please try again later (4).'
Does anyone know what is causing this error?
Thanks.The app Little Snitch can prevent downloads if you have that installed.
And try resetting your Apple ID password > Apple - My Apple ID -
I have a mac pro 1.1. the main hard drive failed. How do I reload OS X 10.7 back in my computer. the app store will not let me reinstall this os. My computer is not compatible OS x 10.8?
You need to first install the OS your Mac came on the bundled gray disks. Assuming it's Snow Leopard, you could then login into the App Store using your same Apple ID and password to download and install Lion.
If your Mac is a bit older and came with Leopard, 10.5.x, you can bypass that and install Snow Leopard from your retail disk. The only software you'd need to install separately from the gray disks would be the optional software, such as the iLife suite and other titles not included on the retail SL disk. -

I've been trying to install recent updates for numbers, pages, and keynote, I get a message that says "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later." (20). I tried several times over the last few days and continue to get the same error message.
KatThank you Catherine & MrToaster - Yes - I've just updated to my new credit card. All the details were correct, inc authorisation code but App Store kept prompting me to update iMovie then, not allowing me to (There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)).
Your advice worked - I logged out and in again.
The problem is that I'll definitely have forgotten your tip when my card next expires! -

That cryptic error message might mean that the payment information in your account is invalid. Check with your credit-card issuer to see whether a charge was denied. If not, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
