Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    I keep getting an msvcr80.dll error when trying to download newest version of iTunes.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • App Store hangs when trying to download

    Hi,

    Thanks for you help,

    Hi,
    My firewall is turned on, but is set to Allow Incomming Connections from the App Store. Just to be safe I turned the firewall off and tried to download the OS again. But to no success. I also don't have any of those apps installed on my imac.
    Thanks again,

  • Why do I get the 'PowerPC code' error when trying to launch an Intel-based app from a CD?

    When trying to launch a Flash-based app from a CD on my Mac Book Pro, I get the "PowerPC apps are no longer supported" error. Yet the app is not built with PowerPC code.
    This also happened with Microsoft Office programs soon after I upgraded to OSX Lion, but someone was able to solve that for me.

    It's just a free disc from a photo magazine, but the app runs fine on a Mac Pro running 10.7.3. Could it be hardware related?
    I have actually asked this on behalf of a reader (I work for the company that makes the magazine) who is experiencing this problem, I just can't find any reason why the error would display in these circumstances. I apologise if this is against the community's usual practise - I just want to sort this guy out!
    The app on the disc is compiled using MDM Zinc, but like I said it runs a-OK on Lion everywhere else.
    Any help would be gratefully received and appreciated!

  • Is anyone else getting a "connection failed" error when trying to download iOS 5.1?

  • Why do I get the message "Insufficient Permissions" when trying to download updated iTunes software

    Why do I get "Insufficient Permissions" message?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why do I get "missing plug-in"notice when trying to download a document requiring acrobat reader?

    I cannot download a prospectus that requires acrobat reader.  There is a message on the site that states I am "missing plug-in".  I have contacted the issuer of the prospectus and they say the path is correct.  I have even downloaded the acrobat reader software that they suggested.  I uninstalled this because it didn't work either.  What would the missing plug-in be and where can I get it?  Thank you for any help.

    I really appreciate the help.  I always have had my Preview  selected as the default.  I went through all the steps again just to make sure I hadn't inadvertently changed something.  I still cannot open this link.  You and WZZZ have made me realize I may not have explained my problem well enough.
    I actually don't have an attached PDF in my email.  What they sent me was a link to a website that was to open my prospectus within the browser.  The senders of the email also stated that I would need the Adobe Reader to open it.  I downloaded their version of Adobe Reader, but that didn't work either, so I uninstalled it.  I deleted the Adobe Reader Plug-in from HDD - Library - Internet Plug-ins.  That didn't work either.  I have updated the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (I'm not even sure this is connected to Adobe Reader but it seems to be since the AdobePDFViewer.plugin was reinserted).  None of these things has worked for opening this file. 
    I am willing to download another browser. Would you recommend Opera or Firefox?

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine. Help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Why am I getting this App Store message for the new OS: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    Why am I getting this App Store message:
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I had the same problem. Spoke to Apple support who directed me to Itunes support.  Frustrating to say the least.  Some have said remove virus barrier.  I did and still nothing.  Some posts have said to delete App store.  DON'T DO IT.. App store is tuff to get back.  This did work for me. Go to Finder, then go, pick go to folder, type in, /var/folder, and delete (send to trash).  There were 2 folders I had to delete, KX & XX, and as soon as I sent them to the trash they returned but I was able to download & intall Mountain Lion and working well.  Good luck..
