Running OS 10.6.8 however cannot load Mountain Lion from App Store

Went to load Mountain Lion this morning from the App Store. All I get is a message that states: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.  What's going on?  I've been reading a few posts but nothing appears to be working as yet.

Contacted Apple who walked me through my issues.
Main problem appears to have been my Network Preferences.
OS X 10.8 had re-set my IPv4 address to blank.
Solved by going to Netwrok Preferences - Advanced - then the TCP/IP settings screen.
Select Renew DHCP Lease and OK.
Reviewed a few other items and some fine tuning however this appears to have been the major issue.
All appears to be working now.

  • HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error

    I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store  it gives the error
    We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
    I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
    it installs on my older mac mini

    Assuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

  • Cannot download os x mountain lion from app store

    I need to install the original mountain lion that i had on my system. I do not have the downloaded software. I did originally purchase the software, but I cannot redownload the software from the appstore. I keep on getting an error after the download starts and stops after a few minutes. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!! I need the software to install a fresh copy of the operating system on my iMac. I have attempted to download the software on 2 MacBookPros, and they both had the same error.

    Again, what error message do you get? Did your sister purchase Mountain Lion with her Apple ID as well? You should be able to simply go to the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store and see "Download" to the far right of "OS X Mountain Lion":
    Do you see this in the MAS? Do you see a Download button?

    Hi Tahan007,
    Check these threads out:

  • I Purchased Mountain Lion via app store - now I cannot download it.

    I purchased a license for OS X Mountain Lion via the App Store and now I cannot download it.
    Clicking on the download button did nothing.
    Check for unfinished downloads says all downloads are complete.
    There is no installer file named "Install Mac OS X Mountain Lion.app" anywhere on my system.
    Now "OS X Mountain Lion" is listed under a seperate catagory "Other Purchases" and the button
    is solid grey with no "DOWNLOAD" text.
    I paid for a copy of OS X Mountain Lion but I recieved nothing in exchange for my payment.

    Then you will need to contact Mac App Store (MAS) support and clear up the issue before you will be able to download the Mt Lion installer.

  • Cannot Purchase or Update from App Store

    Since updateing my iPad to 7.0.2 I am unable to update or download any apps from the app store on the iPad.  I get nothing in the update section of the store - just a white blank page.  When i try and download a new app i just get the 'thinking about it' circular graphic replacing the purchase button and no new app is loaded.
    Has anyone had this or have any thoughts on this?
    Thanks

    Hey goose0211,
    To start off your troubleshooting, I would try out these steps first:
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • I already purchased the OS X Mountain Lion via App Store, why is it i cannot download it?, I already purchased the OS X Mountain Lion via App Store, why is it i cannot download it?

    I have macbook air (11 inch, mid 2011) with the latest version 10.7.5, with Mac OS X Lion, so i've decided to upgrade it to mountain lion, but why cant I download it? The mountain lion icon appeared in my launchpad but the download does not push through. Why is that so? Thanks for your help.

    For effective and efficient use of your cxomputer the hard drive should always have at least 15% of its storage capacity Free, to use for swap files and OS management.  If you only have 33 GB's free, that sounds a little iffy.  I would start by trying to free up some space, then go from there in your troubleshooting.
    Hope this helps

  • Why do I get the message "This disk cannot be used to start your computer" w/ upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6.8

    I have a MacBok pro later than 2007.  running 10.6.8 .  Downloaded Mountain Lion from app store.  When  I get to the install page I get the message "This disk cannot be used to start your computer."  What is the problem and what can be done?
    Thanks,

    I appreciate the prompt reply.  I saw that on the support community and it isn't giving me a solution.  
    The disk where the volume I need to upgrade is 250.06 GB Hitachi, the partition window (current) does not have a blue marker for the used data space, so there is no way to resize it.
