Slow mountain lion download

Anyone else having trouble downloading from the app store? I'm in the UK and have nothing but trouble with app store downloads. 4.37gb taking 7hrs on a 100mb connection. Downloaded starcraft from Blizzard in 20mins... 4gb... Apple need to sort this out and put servers in somewhere other than california!!! We already get ripped off with Apple's fantasy currency conversions, pay more for worse service.... Nice moto...

There were problems with Apple's European servers for 3-4 days but it should be straightened out by now - the US servers were working fine, just the EU servers affected. The servers are probably just a little overloaded now that they're back up - just be patient...

  • Slow internet after mountain lion download

    web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

    I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service.  At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine.  I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed?  Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet.  This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion.  Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

  • Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

    Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

    Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
    If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

    It takes awhile.  Also, your ISP connection is part of the equation.

  • I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download.

    I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download. Restarted my system and did not find the Download on my Launchpad. Is there anyway I can continue that download? Tried refilling the form, no Luck Though!
    The form says I have already claimed my Free Code for my MacMini Serial!
    I live in India and this is a very common problem I am guessing! Slow Internet Speeds and Power Issues!
    Help would really be Appreciated!

    Thanks so much mate! The download has begun, from the top though! Doesn't really matter as long as I have it downloading! Cheers! And Big Thanks again!

  • I have a very fast connection, why is my mountain lion downloading so slowly?

    I have a fast internet connection, why is mountain lion downloading so incredibly slow?

    Apple servers seem to be the problem. To many downloads.

  • How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

    I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?
    Judy

    Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.

  • Mountain Lion download problems with Lion 10.7.5 (no VirusBarrier issue)

    I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. From the factory it came with Snow Leopard but has since been upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.5. I do not have VirusBarrier, I am writing from a recently clean-installed Lion.
    I have now been troubleshooting my Mac for several days. When I wrote first, I had an issue with Safari having been damaged and so I wasn't able to reinstall Lion - but after a certain extremely helpful community member I finally succeeded in installing Lion.
    But the issues with the App Store still persist. All my Mountain Lion downloads fail, getting the error message "can't verify, might be corrupted" what many here have also been getting. However, most solutions were related to VirusBarrier (which I don't have), or /var/folders errors (Console does not show any var-related errors).
    So if it's not a var-related issue, or related to firewalls or virus softwares (I have disabled the Firewall and I have no virus software installed), what could it be?
    When the download and install of ML failed last time, Console showed the following messages:
    11/30/12 11:54:44.617 AM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [235] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [567]

It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.}
    ...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:

    Problem elimination:
    * I don't think this is a router-related issue: I have downloaded and installed other softwares outside App Store successfully
    * As said, I don't think this has anything to do with Firewall or Virus settings
    * Nor has this anything to do with /var/folders as far as I can tell
    What I've tried so far:
    * Repaired disk permissions several times
    * Rebooted
    * Restarted App Store
    * Following one advise found on the net, I deleted preflight.pfpkg just in case
    * All the time I have made sure my OS has the most recent Software Updates installed (most of them downloaded successfully, while with Safari and OS 10.7.5. I had to try several times before they were downloaded succesfully)
    I just reinstalled my OS X Lion, only to use it to jump on to Mountain Lion - so I am pending my migration until ML is installed. I would like to fix this soon, since I'd like to get the migration done and my real work started. I would really appreciate your help.
    I'm not very adept at using Console or Terminal to troubleshoot, so if someone could guide me through the problem identification, that would be great. Unless someone already knows exactly what's going wrong and can show me a working solution - that'd save my day!
    Thanks!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • HT4718 Can't find iLife after Mountain Lion download?

    After my mountain lion download (done by a genius at the apple store so I know I didn't mess it up!), ilife isn't here. It's also not under the "purchase" section of the app store like support.apple.com says it should be. help?

    New Macs come with iLife. However, if you did a clean install you're not going to have iLife.
    However, the original install disk that came with your Mac should have an iLife installer included.

  • After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

    After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

    I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works!  ;-)

  • My OS X Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I can't get it to download at all.

    My OS X 7 Mountain Lion download was interrupted and now I have a Mountain Lion shadow on my doc saying "paused" but I can't seem to restart the download

    If the download does not resume, then Quit the App Store app and delete the partial download in your Applications folder. Then you will have to start the download all over again from the "Purchases" section of the App store.

  • Can I stagger the OS X Mountain Lion download?

    Hello,
    Can I stagger the OS X Mountain Lion download as long as convenient?

    That depends quite a bit on the speed of the links between your computer and the servers sending the download. Your immediate link to the internet and the link from your modem/router to your Mac are ikely to be the slowest links.
    Absent information about your link speeds, "hours and hours" is the best answer I can give.

  • Location of Mountain Lion Download?

    For some reason yet to be discovered I always seem to have issues downloading large files on my Mac.
    I have a work around where I download the SW packages at work and save to a USB thumb drive and then copy and install on my Mac.
    Can someone tell me where the Mountain Lion download is located and what I need to do if I already have the purchase recoreded in the apps store?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Mmmmm now thats a problem!
    Any ideas why when I download it tells me that I have a "hash mismatch" problem. I guess that the checksum is failing????
    I've noticed in the past that large downloads seem to get corrupted.
    Any suggestions or workarounds?
    In the past with major updatyes that have don this then I've gone to the downloads page and downloaded from my PC at work and then copied the .dmg to my mac and its worked.
    This problem only seems to have started when I moved to a cable modem from DSL?? not sure if this is a clue or not
    Thanks

  • Help with mountain lion download

    I bought the new imac on the 1st september and with my purchase i got a free mountain lion download. The helper set up my imac so that when i set it up at home, the software would start downloading. It has now been downlaoding for three days straight- the wi-fi/internet connection is fine- and the download has barely even started, in fact it hasnt progressed for three days. I do not want to buy the mountain lion software because i got it for free so i was wondering if there is any way i can restart the download? All advice is welcome
