Trying to download Lion trought App store, it downloads and it asks for account login and it installs again it never shows installed it always shows installing. this is the third time it's installing. Am I doing something wrong?

Been trying to download Lion from the App Store.  It saks for login, I login in and it starts install.  After about 13 hours it finishes download then asks for login again.  After login, it starts installing again. It never shows installed.  This is the third time I am doing this.  Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry, my bad, we have the iMac G5 10.6.8.  I just got home and the message said an error occurred and was unable to download.  Am I doing something wrong or is there something I need to do.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • I can't download Lion from App Store - says an error has occured. Have rebooted and contacted Apple support. Can anybody help?

    Every time I try to download Lion, the download, the download appears to start, but then stops, saying an error has occured, with nothing downloaded, and the App icon disappears from the dock.
    Has anybody else experienced similar?

    same problem and precisely with the OS X lion up to date program.
    I called apple but they said there's nothing they can do for now. there are many problems they are trying to resolve and one of them is the up to date program.
    the only solution available they said is to wait. but they didn't specify for how long.
    One would think that they'd test their solution well when they took the decision to make the OS available only though the appstore or at least offer a back up solution should people be unable to obtain it like it is the case for us.

  • My Camcorder shoots 24fps and I set my iMovie project at 24fps.  But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps?  Am I doing something wrong?

    But when I add the clip, it's saying that the clip is at 30fps?  Am I doing something wrong?

    Let me tell you this: don't worry about it.
    No one is able to tell very easily if the video is in 24 or 30 fps. You can only see the difference between, like, 14 and 24 fps. Just dismiss it and move on. It's all fine.
    (the only time that I personally need to make sure my camera is shooting at it's highest fps, is when I will be putting the vidoe into slow motion.)

  • The app store on my laptop is asking for my husband's apple id and password to update my apps, but he is not a user on my computer.  How do I change that?  The apple id email is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

    Delete and redownload those applications.

    Hello there, RJ Quick.
    I've located the following Knowledge Base article that might be the information you're looking for:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The following section may be of help:
    Change where imported files are stored
    Choose iTunes > Preferences and click Advanced.
    Click Change and select a new location for your files.From now on, new songs and other items you import will be stored in the new location. Songs you’ve already imported stay in their current location.To go back to storing imported files in the iTunes folder, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Reset.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I have over 20 songs and apps on my phone and when i connect it to my computer none will transfer over into my Itunes on my computer this is the first time this has done this and i dont want to loose anything

    I have over 20 songs and apps on my phone and when i connect it to my computer none will transfer over into my Itunes on my computer this is the first time this has done this and i dont want to loose anything, everything is up to date so im not sure why this is happening

    The computer must be authorized to the same account you have on your iPhone. Connect the phone and choose Transfer Purchases from the iTunes File menu.

  • IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

  • HT204088 iTunes Store Credit card can't be processed again...tired of this happening. This is the third time in four days.

    iTunes Store
    Credit card can't be processed again...tired of this happening. This is the third time in four days.

    Well, thanks for feeling with me, patkosanke ... AND for your wise advice.
    I did followed your advice immediately and erased all the service number as well as S/Ns.
    Can you, however, give me any "direct number" through which I can get hold of someone and request for what you're suggesting?
    I believe I had talked with the person by the name of "Charlie" (I think... I hope I'm correct...) when I was having the same problem with the last device. He was very kind and helpful, though I ended up getting the device that brought the same problem.
    Charlie told me that if I had any more problems I should call him. But I forgot to take down his direct number.
    Or maybe I should call the main office and ask for him. But my memory is questionable as to his name, and besides I don't even know his last name either. There could be more than one "Charlies" in Palm.
    So, if you could somehow email me some direct number (other than the one that keeps on hooking me up with those people in the overseas who are answering the phone only to sympathize with & apologize to me but can only issue a false hope with the SRO#. More than once I was given the promise that the supervisor would call me back within an hour or two but I ended up calling back after I had been left hanging in the air all night long.) where I can talk to someone like I did with Charlie last time who can truly carry out the promise, I would truly appreciate it, patkosanke. ^^
    Thanks

  • IPhoto won't delete the photos from my iphone once I have imported them and indicated to delete the photos from my phone.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I have imported several hundred photos from my iPhoen 5C into iPhoto library.  I selected yes to delete them from my iPhone but the photos remain on the phone.  Am i doing something wrong.  I don't want to pay apple a fee to get this answered via their support system.  This should be straight forward, shouldn't it?  Thanks.

    Are you asking about iCloud Photo Library (Beta) as described in: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support   ?
    In that case you will still see all photos on your iPhone, even after uploading the Photos to the iCloud Photo Library.  The photos on your iPhone may be light-weight optimized previews, if you have the setting
    Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library > Optimize [device] Storage   enabled.
    But as long as you have enough free storage, will the your iPhone keep the full resolution versions of the photos you access most frequently.

  • Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?

    Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account.  Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password.  Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend.  Why?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Trex8.
    There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue.  First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes.  You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates.  If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below. 
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

  • My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

    My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
    I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

    Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.
