Problem downloading 10.8.3 from App Store

Hi, can anybody help me with this?
I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini (running OS X 10.7.5). I have purchased 10.8.3 from the App Store but having problems installing it!
Basically what's happening is it's "calculating" my update but never gets to the end and I get the "An error has occurred" after I leave it for a while. I've tried it a couple of times today but had no joy. It gets to "142Mb of 4.44Gb – Calculating" but that's it!! One thing I have noticed is that when I tried it a few months ago after purchasing it got to "51.65Mb of 4.31Gb – Calculating" before "An error has occurred" So I'm wondering why it's got a bit further on this time, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Lee

Are you trying to download apps from the Sudan app store? If so, you have to have a valid credit card and billing address in the country of the app store to purchase from that app store.
Some countries also have restrictions on the apps and functions allowed in their countries.

You shouldn't be using Flash Player 11 anyway. Use 12: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If your other Mac is compatible with Logic Pro X, simply copy Logic Pro X from Applications folder to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the other computer, and move Logic Pro X to Applications folder.

Problems getting Lion server down from App store

I have a Mac mini server runing Snowleopard server just fine. Tried upgrading to Lion via the App store - OSX 10.7.4 came down fine - but not the server extension.
I end up in a loop where OSX10.7.4 won' install because the server extension is not avilable, and can't download Liion server extensions from the App store because 10.7.4 is not installed.
Any one know how to get the server extensions down before installing Lion so the install gets going?
Cheers,
Glen

Hey Glen -
I'm not at all sure why you're getting these errors, as I've followed this upgrade path just this week; but with a difference, I upgraded a client SL Mac (not server).
I'm going to suggest this - and you may even be able to do it at your local apple store with a Genius present.
Find another Lion machine and log into the app store on the account that bought Lion. Find Lion and click the download button. It'll tell you that you purchased before and you won't be charged again - let it roll. The download will proceed and when finished, will start the installer. At that point quit the installer.
Do the same with Lion Server; download again at it's App Store page.
Come prepared with a nice fat USB Stick. Copy both Installers onto the stick. They'll be in the Applications folder on this Mac.
Go to your SL Server, which MUST be at least 10.6.8.
Copy both files to the Applications folder. If there's an old Lion installer in there, overwrite it; you just got the latest build that way.
After copying to Applications, the Server installer will be greyed out and have a disable icon across it. That's normal; it can't run on anything less than 10.7. It just needs to sit there right now.
Run the Lion installer - client, that is.
It'll restart at some point - and then, because you have copied the server installer to Applications already, it will see that you want it to be a Server upgrade and will start quizzing you a bit about your setup and roll over your existing settings where it sees them.
When it's done you'll see your familiar login screen. And yes, it's server! Even though About This Mac says its 10.7.4- it really is Server. Start the Server App (not Server Admin app) and you'll see the new interface.
Server tools for Lion is a seperate download, so trash any SL versions at this point. You can DL the new ones anytime if you have a hankering for fine tweaking, but you're pretty good right out of the gate with just Server app.
Hope this helps. I've basically quoted a lesson from the Lynda.com Lion Server tutorial. Just a satisfied customer.

Make sure the Firewall is turned off in Sytem Preferences > Securitiy & Privacy > Firewall
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Downloading Mountain Lion upgrade from App Store failed

I'm upgrading my wife's iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion. Just tried to download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the App Store. I paid for it, clicked on the download, the little icon did it's fancy leap down to the application bar at the bottom of the page, and the item in the app store said it was downloading as well as the white bar beneath the icon in the app bar at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happened. I left the computer and came back about ten minutes later. The app store had crashed. Rebooted it. Tried the download process again. Same result.
I paid about $20 for the system software upgrade so I would like, if possible, to use the app store item if I can. Is there a solution without a trip to the Apple Store to buy the system upgrade?

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.

Problem downloading Mavericks 10.9 from Apple Store

Hi
I'm running os x 10.9.1 on my Mac Mini 2,5 Ghz Intel Core i5 that i bought 3 month ago...
I tried to download Mavericks 10.9 for emergencies from apple store but an error tells me to go to the purchases page and try gain but the same error occurres again and again. I know there's nothing wrong with my settings because i already downloaded the update 10.9.1 and still downloading other stuff without any problems.
What should I do?
Thanks

Acytualy it's working. I went to the application folder, an icon of Mavericks was there with the sign "x" on the top left corner. I clicked on it and it asked me if I want to delete the dowonload, I said yes and restarted the download on apple store and it downloading just fine.
I have a backup on an external drive with time machine and it's working as it should but when i wanted to try it by restarting with command+R keys it took me directly to Recovery by Internet and did not consider my Time Machine Backups disk. That why I wanted to have a copy of Mavericks to make a bootable disk of it.
Thanks anyway

I can't download or buy anything from App Store with iPhone 4S.

After updating ti iOS7 App Store haven't been working correctly. No new or old buys or downloads. When I took auto updates off, I cant update because problems with buying/downloading. Error message keeps telling me "*App im trying to buy/download* is not available right now, try again later"
I've tried rebooting, re-logging, credit card updating... Nothing seems to help.

Just a second..., the dock is saying the Lion download is waiting...., I resumed the download, I don't know what cold happen, maybe the store needed time to clear my credit card (I live in Mexico), maybe my internet connection stalled...
I will post my status, hope when Lion is installed.

HT201364 Trying to download OS X Maverick from App store, but it just says 'downloading' and does nothing.

I am trying to download Maverick from the app store, and it's not working. At first it said 'downloading' for the longest time (hours), then I closed the app store and rebooted, and now even if I click on 'download' it does not work. Any ideas?

peterfromessex,
the downloaded Mavericks installer will be put into your Applications folder. Have you checked there, to see if it actually did download OK?
(If you leave the Mavericks installer in your Applications folder, then it will be deleted after you run it. If you wish to keep the installer after running it, move it out of the Applications folder before running it for the first time.)

How do I download my iPhoto update from App Store?

I have iPhoto on my iMac (it is the one that came preinstalled - it has likely had updates made to it since I had the iMac as I have had it a few years now, but I never use iPhoto so don't know which version currently.)
I am running 10.8.2.
I have just got an iPhone and wish to download some photos, so I read on the apple site that iPhoto will automatically do so when I connect with USB.
I have gone to my iPhoto application and it won't open. Instead a message comes up saying "You can't open the application iPhoto because it is being updated." When I open up the App Store to see where to update it, iPhoto is listed in the lists of update apps with RESUME next to it. (Perhaps I may have tried to upload the update before...) But I go RESUME a box pops up saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
Could someone please help. What do I need to do to get the application to update? (I need my photos off my iPhone to send to someone quite urgently!)
Many thanks.
Fran

Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it. It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2. So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!) I live in hope that this will fix it. If it doesn't I'll let you know!

Unable to download(purchase) Lion Update from App Store

When I try to download Lion, the download sign in window appears and is populated with someone else's Apple ID. If I change the ID to mine and use my password I get 2 messages:
"We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
Click OK and 2nd message:
"Unknown Error"
iTunes does not exhibit this, and normal sign in to App Store shows correct ID, only the Download Authentication does this. I have been able to update other Apps just fine, this requires a purchase, and is the only difference.

Perhaps it was a display model at one time in the store and someone registered the OS in their name. I would return to the store with the Mac and show them the stranger's name that appears in the Mac App Store when you try to update Lion. Perhaps it is even an employee. Anyway, they need to set this right by you. A new Mac should not have someone else's Apple ID registered into it. That registration sent the unique identifier to Apple for this Mac and registered it to the person's Apple ID. Not cool.
