Purchased OS X but it is not downloading on my machine.

I purchased OS X from appstore
The icon places itself on the dock
But there is not progress with the download
I have cancelled the download and went pack to appstore to install
again, the programme is not downloaded
Any advice?

I have 2 Apple Macs, a Mac book purchased 2007 and a Mac pro G5 build year 2006 both running Leopard last year upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Due to various reasons I didn't get organised to upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) until early July but I noticed the next version was about to be released and I could upgrade from v10.6 (Snow Leopard) to v10.8 (Mountain Lion) so ok I can skip Lion.
I now find Mountain Lion will not run on either of my computers Apple tech support said sorry the architecture was changed around 2008 (no publicity about that) but I could upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) and still get some improvement.
My problem is could not find where to purchase Lion which is only available as a download, it had been replaced by Mountain Lion. When I Contacted Apple sales they informed me that lion is no longer available, advised me upgrade my computers!!
why can't I get Lion it was until mid July ?
Older Software released prior to Jan 1,1998 in the US and worldwide is available
Not happy

Hi,
I have the same issue. the machine in which I paid for now says the transaction did not go through while a paired Mac machine at work says I have already purchased and so will download on it own (but nothing happens after that).

The cd I pre ordered says purchased .. But it will not download

Hello Mistaman
Check your purchase history to download previous purchases. Also you can check on your computer in your iTunes folder to see if the purchase has been downloaded. If you find it there you should be able to double click it and it should open in iTunes.

HT2052 I purchased this update but itunes does not download it

I have been trying to download a ringtone that I just purchased from iTunes, but it will not download. It keeps saying "Download error. Tap to retry." And everytime I press "retry," it is saying "UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD RINGTONE" I just did the 7.0.2 update.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? Yes, I have tried restarting my phone and iTunes and nothing seems to be working...

I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

Just purchased Acrobat Standard, but it does not download on Mac. Is there a work around to this?

I purchased Acrobat Standard while on chat with a representative. They never mentioned that it didn't work on Mac. Is there a version that does?

Hello,
You need Acrobat Pro version for Mac. I would suggest to contact contact Support.
Also, I would recommend to see this article- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie. When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
Any advice?

Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
Agh!

HT204074 I went to buy a song on iTunes and it said I have already purchased this item, but it's not in my library. Is there a way to populate songs that I have downloaded on past computers with the same apple ID?

If iCloud is available for your country, you should. Here is the article that has the steps on how you can do this:

Absolutely. A proxy can prevent the software from downloading and installing.
I realize you have already purchased Lion from the App Store but a workaround in your case would be the thumb drive.
OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
