Why am I having so much of a problem downloading Lion

I have a MacBook Air and I'm trying to download the new Lion software. It's not downloading! Anyone know why?

Jabu,
You are having issues, just like many of us are having issues because the Lion distribution is a complete CLUSTER SCREW !!!!!!!!!!!!
According to the Wall Streeet Journal, Apple has a tremendous amount of cash on hand and could have invested some of that cash to enhance thier BSS environment.

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?

    Hello,
    I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
    My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
    I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
    "This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
    Can somebody please help??
    Thanks,
    Dake

  • Why am I having so much trouble downloading ios 5?

    I can not download the ios 5 update to my Mom's iphone 3gs. I have tried from itunes. I have tried direct download. I have downloaded and used the internet download manager. I am still having difficulty in getting the update to download. It seems to get so far and stops. I can not figure out what to do next.  I did mine without any problems, but I am having so much trouble with hers. I hope someone can help me. I appreciate the help in this matter.

  • Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 since downloading Lion?

    Hi All,
    Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 after downloading the Lion update? Aperture 3 is running so ssssslllloooowwww !!! I am a sports photographer who needs this to run the way it used to with Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?????
    Thanks,
    George

    It was one of the many issues I had when I was running Lion. I watched the beach balls and the very, very slow rendering of image edits and restored back to my SL clone immediately. It was looking like Aperture 2 and my sanity just couldn't take that again.
    I have to assume that Apple must have tested Lion with Aperture 3, but you wouldn't know it from how it behaved on my system.

  • I set up everything I'm supposed to and all I get in no signal on my tv after I changed my input to HDMI 2 and plugged my apple box in? Why am I having so much trouble, anyone?

    I set up my HDMI cable to my compatible tv, plugged it into my apple box, plugged the apple box to a power source then, then took my tv input changed it to the proper HDMI input and I get nothing but "no signal". The light on the box flashes when I first plug it in, then it stays on, why am I not getting a picture so I can configure and set up my apple box to stream netflix or YouTube ? What else could I possibly try? I've tried everything, switching everything out, making sure things are all the way in, why can't I get this box to work?

    There may well be three possibilities here. The first is that the Apple TV is defective, I don't think many are, so this may be on likely.
    The second is that you are simply making some mistake when selecting the HDMI channel on your TV. The third may be that your TV does not accept the default output from the Apple TV, in which case you might want to try the following.
    Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

  • Why am I having so much trouble signing in to Mozilla

    Every time I try to sign in it will not take username and password so I have to change it and then I forget what I changed it to.
    Also why can't I watch videos on facebook I can with Internet Explorer Windows 7

    you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking
    at that file, you can compress it using a password.

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing the latest version of Flash Player to use in IE?

    I have not had so much trouble updating Flash Player for Internet Explorer since I began in 1998. The plug-in for Google Chrome installed fine.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling 4 times with no luck. The usual pop-up comes up when I open IE asking? 'This webpage wants to run the following add-on; 'Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    I downloaded from the adobe.com website.
    Can someone please help?
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Internet Explorer 11
    Flash Player 17

    I found this guidance over on the Windows forums.  It seems promising for your scenario:
    Make sure that the necessary add-ons are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
    b. Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage add-ons.
    c. In the Currently loaded add-ons list, click Run without Permissions.
    d. Look for the following add-ons in the list that's displayed. If any of these add-ons are listed, make sure the Status for each is listed as Enabled.
    o Shockwave Active X Control
    o Shockwave Flash Object
    o Java Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
    o QuickTime Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
    o Windows Media Player
    Hope this information helps. Reply with the status so that we could help you further.

  • Why am I having so much trouble staying connected to my wireless broadband?

    Hi.  We have our broadband connected to a router.  My husband, who has an HP laptop, never has any connectivity issues.  I have a macbook, not sure what generation it is.  I am constantly lossing connection to the router.  Sometimes the network is still listed in the bar on top, but I cannot connect to it.  If I click on it, it asks for my Admin. password to "change" networks but will not connect.   I can't even use my airport utlility to mess with it since the scan shows no wireless devices!  Usually if I reboot the computer, it will start up connected again, but may not stay that way.  It ***** when trying to download my fav. TV show for later playback.  And of course anything else connected to the internet.
    I hope someone can help me.
    Oh yes, I bought this laptop used.  Have never had any other problems with it now for 3+ years.
    Thanks!

    I just found out that the MacBook I have is a 13 inch 2008 model, if that helps.  I have also applied the Broadband Optimizer utility I downloaded from Apple's site and that seems to have helped some, but the problem is still happening.
    Thanks again.

  • Why is firefox having so much trouble finding servers?

    The problem of Firefox not being able to find the server requested is becoming more and more frequent. Every time it happens, I have to reload at least once, sometimes twice, before the server is found (as it almost always is). I have never had this problem in previous versions of Firefox. I have done the various fixes and made sure Kaspersky knows that Firefox is one of the good guys, but to no avail. Can someone PLEASE come up with a fix for this? The only thing worse than a malfunctioning Firefox is a perfect IE or Chrome.

    Firefox may be updating the phishing protection database or do maintenance with other files like places.sqlite. It should stop at some point if that has been done.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem.
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why am I having a major cursor confusion problem!?

    Okay here it goes: ( I am currently running CS5 Photoshop for Mac)  I have a document open that I want to edit...  I go to select the brush tool. I select it then proceed to the top left screen to adjust the size of  the brush and the type....the thing is the icon that is scrolling over the different sizes and  brushes are "scissors"---not an arrow or a hand...only scissors. I have to select the brush size  with a pair of scissors...  So I select the size then get out of that...I then proceed to go to paint on the picture I want to  edit...instead of there being a brush (or a circle), there is an eyedropper that I am painting with!!!  What in the world!? I just noticed the problem and don't know why my icons are confused. I  deleted photoshop and re installed it, but it's still doing the same thing. I made sure that the  brush was selected and not the eyedropper about twenty times to see if it was user error...it  wasn't.  Now this isn't the only issue...just the first one I noticed. After playing around with Photoshop  and running across the first problem, I decided that maybe the program needed an update. I  went ahead and updated the program and now discovered some newer issues:  Same document is up that I want to edit. I go to use the burn tool, click on it--scroll over to the  picture and I see the dodge tool. I click on the tool bar to change to the dodge tool--scroll over  to the picture again and see the burn tool! It's as if all my tool icons are jumbled and misplaced!  I am having issues with about 90% of my tools I don't know what's going on.   I was shown a link on Adobe's website that said if I update my  Mac software to 10.6.6 I may experience problems with photoshop and other programs..  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/881/cpsid_88159.html   I am just really at a dead end with trying to fix this..because I don't know what to do! I am  stumped. Please help! I'm desperate for an answer!!  The CPU settings thing...I tried it with it enabled and disabled...still the same issues!

    I  deleted photoshop and re installed it,
    Deleting Photoshop is not advisable, you should have un-installed it.
    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • Is anyone having problems downloading Lion?

    I get the transparent lion icon in the lower right corner of my screen, but when I mouse over it, it says "OS X Lion - Paused"  I've had that for over a day now.  I even tried starting over by dragging the icon to the trash, rebooting the computer and starting the download again.  Same problem.

    Right click the icon and click resume. keep in mind it may take a few hours to download.
