Please forgive my stupidity, Kappy! I misunderstood your first reply. Thank you so much; I have renownloaded the App and am set to go. Thanks again.

Please forgive my stupidity, Kappy. I misunderstood your reply. (I'm new to this) The App is now downloaded and I'm ready to go . Thank you very much indeed.

Where did you get Mountain Lion? Did you download the 4+ GB file from the App Store? If so, then I would try doing the following:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your second drive on which Lion is installed (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Install Mountain Lion
Double-click on the Mountain Lion Installer application in your Applications folder. Follow instructions to install Mountain Lion on your old Lion drive - Drive 2. When the installer finally finishes it will restart the computer automatically from Drive 2. At this point there is no need to change the Startup Disk unless you want to boot from your Snow Leopard drive.
You will startup to the Setup Assistant in which you will configure your own admin account. You can, if you want, omit that part and instead choose to migrate your Home folder and other data from the Snow Leopard drive. I would recommend you do that unless you wish to do it manually at a later time. In this case create your new admin account using the exact same username and password that you now use on your Snow Leopard system.

  • Cannot Install Item / Please restart the app and download your purchase again

    I haven’t had this error message myself but one of my colleagues has, any ideas?
    Cannot Install Item
    Please restart the app and download your purchase again
    Three of our team (including me) have now been able to download the entire app after first archiving and starting afresh but the forth guy (the Editor in Chief) is still struggling with only half available. He has deleted the Content Viewer app and downloaded it again without being able to download more than half the app (560 MB total).We are 10 days away from our deadline so at a critical stage.

    We just had a customer complain that they couldn't sign-in or upate.  We tried it on our devices and were able to sign-in successfully.  Then we tried archiving and re-downloading the folio they were trying to download.  It did the start-stop thing with the download numbers but eventually finished without me doing anything.  Then when it got to the install part of the process it only progressed to a tiny sliver and then didn't progress any further for at least 15 minutes.  I then canceled, re-downloaded again and the install process got to about 40% before hanging indefinitely.  I quit the Adobe Content Viewer app, restarted it and tapped on "resume".  It took a couple of minutes but it did finish the install.  When viewing the folio, about 40% of the way into the articles one of them was completely gray.  Essentially it wasn't downloaded/installed correctly.  I'm wondering if this might have something to do with the screen going to sleep so I changed the timeout from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.  The download and installation were successful, so I have archived and am re-downloading again just to hopefully repeat the success.  The folio is 306MB, so it's not huge but not small either.  Lots of videos and multi-state objects are in this folio but it has been downloaded and viewed successfully many times before.  No changes have been made to this folio for at least a couple of weeks.
    I'm very disappointed that we aren't past the point of these things still happening.  It makes it very difficult for us to pitch tablet apps to new customers when simple things like delivery to the end user is so unpredictable and frustrating for both our customers and us.  I hope Adobe realizes that lack of reliability is going to stop many users like our company from being able to recommend their system to potential digital publishing customers.  There are lots of companies/potential customers that want tablet apps, however why should we try to court their business if the platform isn't reliable?  We end up looking like incompetent fools because the system we told them to invest in isn't able to perform basic functions reliably.  If Adobe wants to make money from us and our customers we need the standard/basic features of Adobe's digital publishing system to work every hour of every day.  Rare exceptions and problems will always happen with any technology (even utilities like electricity and city water aren't bulletproof), however the problems users are experiencing haven't been rare.  We were an early adopter starting with the pre-release program in the hopes that we could offer customers a great solution and be part of the beginning of another great Adobe solution.  Up to this point we've tried to be very understanding of early growing pains with the technology and have apologized to our customers for the lack of a fully functional system many times and so far they have been patient and understanding.  The patience and understanding from both us and our customers is beginning to wear very thin.

  • IOS Newsstand: Cannot install item please restart the app and download your purchase again.

    I'm struggling with iOS 8 Newsstand. I've downloaded the new issue of "Intelligent Life." The issue opens then crashes after one page turn. When I try to reopen the issue, I get an error message, "Cannot install item please restart the app and download your purchase again." I've deleted the app and reinstalled it but no change. I've tried to "Restore All Purchases" also to no avail. Advice?
    Other Newsstand titles work normally.
    Thank you.

    Hello hp12c,
    If you are still having crashing issues with the app, check against the article below to continue your troubleshooting. Check to see if magazine has been updated to be compatible with iOS 8. If you are still running into issues, you may need to contact the developer.

  • I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
    I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
    Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
    I hope this helps.

  • Hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

  • HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

  • I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

    This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
    "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
    It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
    I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
    Please, any suggestions?

    i am not getting notification on most of my apps, e.g twitter and facebook...except i go to the app and refreshed manually. its an iphone 4 and running on ios5...i have gone through everything and its still the same..help please........
    I seem to be having the same problem on my brand new iPhone 4S. Everything was working fine on the phone until I updated to iOS 5.1.1, but now I no longer receive push notifications for the native Mail app, Instagram, or the Facebook app. I still seem to be receiving SMS texts and iMessages via push, but the aforementioned apps need to be opened before I can receive missed notifications (having them open in the background seems to make no difference).
    Thanks for any help that you may provide!

    did you try notifications under settings? You can customize it as per your requirement, for each application.

  • Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

    So I just got a message from Apple saying
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
    I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
    I also turned on iCloud Drive.
    Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
    The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
    It could list what type of device it was.
    It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
    But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
    I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
    On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

    I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
    I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
    It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
    It's very clear to me; the app named  "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.

    there is no sound on my macbook air. I have checked the volume and mute controls and the internal speaker are selected.  any one any ideas please.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    Best.
