Why Can't I Upgrade To OS X Lion By Download?
Jul 4, 2012
I finally made the decision to go ahead with the upgrade to OS X Lion and the download does not function on the Mac App Store Website. I am living in Honduras and thought maybe it has something to do with my IP, but when i click on the link to view OS X Lion in the Mac App Store, it redirects me to the (URL) Which carries this error in my browser "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (macappstore) isn't associated with any program." Has Apple eliminated the download upgrade for Lion? I cannot visit a Mac Store to buy the USB version because I am thounsands of miles away from them.

I was doing a software update in an outdated Mac OS X 10.7.3 to get all the latest updates through its Apple Software Update. However, one of them failed to upgrade: iTunes v10.6.1 to v10.6.3. After rebooting to let Mac OS X 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, Apple Software Updater shows it 97% partially downloaded. I have over 31 GB free, so it can't be a free disk space problem. I tell it to resume download, but it quickly fails from 169 MB to about 172.7 MB (176.9 MB is the whole size) with "The update "iTunes" can't be installed. The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during the downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."Â

I boughht a used MacBook Air and installed my system via TimeMachine. But it's an older backup with only 10.7.3.Â
I tried the systems Software Update, but it fails after loading over 90% of the data. Then I tried manual downloading the files for combo and system update - but everything fals on my macbook air with the error that the destination file cannot be written.Â
Then I thought let me download it using the iMac - but the same error here - the download fails after about 80% telling me that the destination file cannot be written.Â
What can I do to get my MacBookAir updated to 10.7.4 ?

I think the download is bad and is needs to be manually(?) deleted for me to retry. Where is this corrupted file at?

Says the software may have been tampered with or corrupted during download. I am NOT some computer hack, just a regular guy who bought a simple product to download and it doesn't work. Total BS and waste of my time. I'm not interested in saving my download to an ext HD, or partitioning my HD, or some other funky work-around. I want to know why this software will not load straight away as advertised? I have S/L, v 10.6.8 and the required RAM and disc space.

Since I have had my system upgraded to Maverick I can no longer download emails from my server/provider. Mail asks for the password for the user (me) and when I type it in nothing happens.
There is no problem connecting to my server/provider online, so the server is working ok. My guess is that I am missing some crucial ticked or unticked box in the mail set up.
like I said, no email alerts of mails getting through at the moment (so have to read everything only when I'm online...).

When downloading small files online they will download through Speed Download. Before I installed Speed Download it would just download through the regular downloading client. How do I change it back to using the regular one as standard? I use firefox btw

I want to save the hassle of trying to install using the DVDs as I'm anticipating that this won't be as simple as it should be and is likely to be less trouble with a download.

I am currently running version 10.7.4 from what I read and what I was able to make out from my serial number I wont be able to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion as it says my imac is a late 2006 model.I am just curious if I am able to run Lion why Apple isnt supporting the older models that can? Seems odd to me and it is not in my budget to buy a new mac and my current one is running perfectly. I'm not sure how much I will miss out not having Mountain Lion.

I am reluctant to upgrade to Lion due to being quite happy with OS 10.6.8, but now am looking for extra backup and storage after 3 external hard drives dying. Question: can I access iCloud using 10.6.8. on my iMac? - don't have an ipad, as yet. Or an iPhone. What are the major changes between Lion and Snow Leopard, and how difficult would it be to get used to using it, as it sounds like it is catering for those with iPads and/or iPhones and the ways of interacting with those items.Â

Whether through the App Store or the Apple download page, it starts to download, gets a certain way through, and then just stops. In the App Store, after awhile I get a message that Software Update can't connect to the update server. On the Apple.com download page, it just stops downloading. I don't think it's our internet connection, because the update worked just fine for our other iMac (which is older than the one I'm having trouble with).

I've got a 2011 mac mini server, it's currently got Windows server 2008 R2 installed on it.I'd like to run OSX Lion Server as a virtual machine. But I need a .iso (preferably) to be used to install the operating system.Because I didn't receive any installation discs with the mac, I dont have a copy up front.What's the easiest way for me to get an .iso of OSX Lion Server without needing to use the app store.(Currently it's not easy for me to be able to boot into OSX, because I have it set up as a remote machine and I only have windows installed).
