Why won't the App Store let me download Mountain Lion even though my system meets the requirements?
I am trying to purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. I have all the requirements met, but I get an error message saying my computer is not compatible. What's up and how do I fix it? Here are 2 screen captures of my system specs:
No way that one will run Mountain Lion.

Why won't my App Store let me download free apps?
I am trying to download a FREE app via the store and it keeps declining due to some issue with my credit card. I have tried using a different card and I have also tried downloading with wi-fi, still won't work!
Any suggestions?
And yes, I have tried turning the device off and then back onDid a little searching about this. Read this discussion in another forum. See if anything in it might apply to your situation and be helpful to you.

I want to buy Lion. I have 10.6.8 and cannot find Lion 10.7 on the App store. I find mountain lion but not lion. Help please.
Apple has made it available again, but you need to call and they will email you a redemption code:

Have a MacBook Pro4,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Went to the App Store to download Mountain Lion. A quick spin of the gear, then it stopped. Nothing more will happen despite several tries. Of course I put in my iTunes password when prompted. Specs say this should be possible, but there are no error messages. Why? There's plenty of room on the hard drive.
Any ideas?Patience, little grasshopper! It is a 4.5GB monster floating down the wire. Even with my office's Gbps link, it takes over 40 minutes.
BTW, if you don't want to have to wait again, there's a trick for saving the installer and even concocting your full Cat Installer on a Stick. See here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20080989-263/how-to-create-an-os-x-lion-ins tallation-disc/?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=MacFixIt and rather than burning an obsolete DVD, use this instead: http://liondiskmaker.com
Note that once the install process concludes, the installer will be erased from the local drive. -
Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I downloaded through the App Store Mountain Lion. Everything is working great except that the App Store app. I keep getting "Cannot connect to the App Store" error message. Is it possible that it's still too much traffic on the servers or a bug in Mountain Lion? App Store worked fine before obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Mountain Lion. I tried trashing the plist and cache.db several times and still no go. Anybody else have this problem? Help!
This seems to be a bug in the OS. After days looking for an answer, I found one that will probably help those of you that, like me, tried just about everything else that has been suggested in the forums:
http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
I came back to this forum, being one of the latest dealing with this issue, to share this. If it works for you then please do what I did and share it in some other forum on this issue to spread the word.
Apple please fix this bug in the OS !!! -
For several days now I have had a software update for iMovie (9.0.7). When I try to download the update I receive the message "there was an error with the purchase".
Try this.
After signing into the Mac App Store (MAS) with your iTunes Apple ID, look at the Purchased page. You should see the three bundled iLife apps listed with Accept buttons. After you have accepted them and Apple has verified that they came on a new Mac and assigned them to your Apple ID and iTunes/MAS account, you should be able to update them. -
I need help!
This same thing happend to me, you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again? Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.
You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
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 Mountain Lion.
Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install. -
Why isn't the App Store letting me install and update apps to my iPod Touch 3 Gen.?
Why isn't the app store letting me update or install Apps?
Because like a computer, you always need more space that the download size takes up. One reason is that the app needs to be expanded to be installed.

I downloaded this free music downloader app in the App Store and I downloaded music but, every time a song ends it doesn't switch to the next song!!Whys that??
Go back to the App Store app and find the app you're having problems with. Then look in the description for the contact info for the developer. You might also find an email link within the settings of the app. Contact the developer to find out if they are working on this issue.

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?
The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here. -
I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.
You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

I downloaded the mountain lion from the app store and it downloaded. When i installed the mountain lion it said that the hd disk is broken and cannot be repaired, and the other disk doesnt have enough space! HELP and i cannot return to my desktop with the old sofware so i cant use my computer normaly
This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21614450#21614450
Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues. -
48 Hours ago I started to upgrade to Mountain Lion on a now 10 day old IMac - 30 minutes ago I got the email with the content code and redeem code for the download from the app store - it said download was happening, but nothing happened for 30 min - HOW DO I (or you) FIX IT!?
This is a User's Forum, yelling at us won't help. You have 90 days of customer support via telephone. Use them as they can interact with their system and hopefully get you back on track. Otherwise take it to them at the Genius Bar and have them make it good.
