Why can't I complete OS X 10.8 download from App Store?

I am unable to successfully download OS X 10.8 download from App Store?  I am presnetly running 10.7.5.  Any recommendations or advice?  Thanks

That, and another tip: Download it while physically connected to your router, not via wi-fi. It's a large file, so doing it by wi-fi introduces a long dl time, and more possible errors

    In short, because you are in Iran and probably trying to use the App store in another country. You can search the forums for several other threads on this topic.

    If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

  • HT201364 Mavericks download from App store updates fails to complete

    Hi,
    Mavericks download from App store fails to complete.  Error message explains system needs firmare update version 1.1.  A check on my updated software list says this update done.  Re-running it confirms firmware update installation succesful.  But Mavericks still says unable to complete download.  All guidance would be much appreciated.  thank you,
    Liz

    Hi Liz ..
    You're sure your Mac can upgrade to Mavericks?  > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    Which OS X is currently installed?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.

    Try here first >  Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you can't resolve the issue on your own, call Apple or schedule a call >   Apple - Support - Solutions
    Keep in mind, this is a user to user forum. You are not communicating directly with Apple here. No one here can fix your Apple iD.

    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

    Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
    Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

    X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac

    Check your Applicaitons folder.
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2  <  your profile
    Xcode's minimum requirements according to the App Store under Information is OS X v10.7.3 or later.
    If you are running v10.7.2, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    That should bring your Mac up to date to v10.7.4.
    Then try re downloading Xcode.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I can't open the Mac app downloaded from App Store

    Hi, first of all excuse me for my "rusty" english.
    Few days ago I purchased form App Store a game by Alawar (Brink of Consciousness - The Lonely Hearts Murders-Collector's Edition). However, after the dowload (the game exists in my applications folder as well as in Launchpad) I have uselessly tried many times to start it . Always the same error message "the APP closed unexpectedly ....".
    Can someome help me?
    Thank you very much

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
    Allow user to administer this computer
    Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
