Error with Mountain Lion Download on the App Store

Hi there, I've come across an error which I've been unable to solve and have not found similar instances/references on the forums: I bought Mountain Lion and started downloading. I have several laptops, so I also started downloading on my main laptop. In the mean time, the first download was very slow and had 9 hours to go. The second laptop, started later, had 30 mins to go. I realized the first one was connected to my slower home wi fi (I have two), so I interrupted the download and tried to re-download it once I connected to the fast wi-fi. When I tried to press download again, I had an error. Next to that error, a "X" (for cancel) came up.
Then, the oddest thing happened and Mountain Lion was removed from my purchases!
After that, I went back into purchases and when I clicked "buy" it just said "You've already purchased this, click here to download". When I did that, I got this screen. Now, nothing happens. I just get stuck here.
I've installed Mountain Lion on the other laptop (the second one) and it seems to be working fine.
I looked online and there was a supposed fix: to download a Lion Combo 10.7.4. I did, but when I tried to instal it, it just said that it requires a version of Lion 10.7.3. or earlier... I have 10.7.4, so this did not work.
Any help?
Many thanks!!!

Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

Mountain Lion OS from the App Store

I purchased mountain lion os from the app store for my laptop but also want to upgrade my imac from lion to mountain lion. When I went to the mountain lion app to purchase it again for my desktop it did not give me the option to buy only to download. I thought we would have to purchases two copies of the OS for each device, is that incorrect?

Why should I "Sign in to download from the App Store"

Why does this pop up on my screen: "Sign in to download from the App Store" when I am NOT trying to download an app or anything? It interrupts my work, and looks questionable?

Thank you thomas_r. I did what you mentioned, and in System Preferences, it said: "The App Store keeps OS X and apps from the App Store up to date." I did not realize that OS X updates are now being done through the App Store, so I updated preferences so OS X updates will automatically download. I hope now I do not get these sign-in messages, and my computer stays up to date!
i have my App Store set so that nothing is automatically downloaded, and I have never gotten the type of popup you mentioned. Depending on your system, you could end up with unwanted upgrades by using the automatic setting. The App Store recently updated EVERY instance of Evernote on my Mac Pro, rendering it unusable on two io the drives. There are a few updates that you might not want at all, such as iTunes 12. Setting it on automatic gives you NO control.
It is a fairly dumb updater. I was able to retrieve an earlier version of Evernote from a backup, but was not pleased at the behavior of the update process. Even Adobe's updaters aren't that bad.

I purchased Mountain Lion online from the App store but it won't download

I purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store, and after 2 days it still hasn't downloaded. The download appears to have frozen.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, restart your Mac and resume the download. To resume the download, open App Store > Purchases, and press the Resume button next to OS X Mountain Lion.
If it doesn't work, open Finder, go to Applications folder and delete the OS X Mountain Lion installer. Then, open App Store > Purchases, and download Mountain Lion again

I just downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday from the App Store and it won't install. I stopped it when it wouldn't do anything all day and now how do i restart the installation process?

Uaually when you purchase something from the app store and it has downloaded, you see an install button. I found nothing of that nature. I have a late model 2009 mac mini with plenty of memory and plenty of disk space. What am I missing?

Never mind, I see it's Mountain Lion.
Can you check in your Applications Folder to see if the installer is still there. You are confused on some things, because the installer should be giving you a DOWNLOAD text on the purchases page, not install.

I want to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. Seems the app store only allows the new Maverick to be downloaded. Is there is a link to still install Mountain Lion?

I upgraded a couple weeks ago on my macbook pro, and now that Mavericks is out, it seems one can't install anything but the latest. Some of my apps aren't yet compatible and I need to wait. I have a 2009 MacPro.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

Call 800 MY APPLE and get sales support. They can work it out. It is still possible to purchase Mountain Lion, they send you various emails and links to do so. It costs $19.95.
In my case, I had purchased it for another computer, I was told if I go to purchases at the App Store, there it is, and I can download it to the one that needs it. It's that simple.

I am running Mountain Lion Server, and the App Store indicates an upgrade to Server.App version 2.2.5. When I try to upgrade it will not install. Is that because OSX8 is no longer supported; and if so, is there an alternate source for this upgrade if

Mountain Lion Server.app no longer supported?

Probably a long shot, but try resetting the App Store and Clearing Cookies.

Timeout on Mountain Lion update in the App Store

Has anyone come across this? I upgraded three of my Macs to Mountain Lion successfully and downloaded and installed the HP Printer update from the App Store. When I came to do the same on my brand new MacBook Air yesterday I kept on getting timeouts in the App Store, just for the update pack. Anyone have the same issue?

Mountain Lion gone from the App Store?

I originally had some disk problems with my 2010 MacBook Pro, so I erased the drive using the recovery console and went to reinstall OSX, but it says I haven't purchased Mountain Lion in the App Store! Well, I went to the App Store to buy it and can't find it?!?!?!

Yeah, I can't find it in iTunes either... It's like the Obamacare website. DOES-NOT-WORK.

I updated the new version of OSX Mountain Lion and now the app store won't open. I keep getting an error message from it. any advice?

I got the notification that i needed to update the software and when i did and it finished, the app store stopped opening. it keeps sending me an error message. does anyone know what to do? thanks
