App Store An Error Has Occurred
I do when “An error has occurred” when downloading Lion? up vote 9 down vote favorite I'm trying to download the new Mac OS. When click install, the icon pops onto the dock and says Waiting... After about 5 minutes, it disappears and in the purchased category of the Mac App Store, next to install it says: An error has occurred Why is this happening? Edit: Originally I could not even get the download app store an error has occurred failed to download bar in the purchased section until I reconfigured my router slightly(I'm using a BT Business Hub). I am now able to get the download bar. However, I still get "Waiting..." on the icon and after about 3 minutes, I receive the same error message: An error has occurred I still believe that it is a router problem and not the app stores' servers. Has another been able to fix this yet? Here is a screenshot when I click the install button: And here is a screenshot after about 2 minutes: osx lion upgrade mac-appstore share|improve this question edited Jul 21 '11 at 8:55 asked Jul 20 '11 at 15:54 Ginger Bill 203138 You won't be able to pinpoint the problem until you try to download the OS from another connection/router configuration. Until then, we cannot safely say if it's Apple's servers (doesn't seem like it if it times out so readily) or your router configuration... –user10355 Sep 13 '11 at 19:39 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted I have sorted the issue. I just had to use a different router. The BT Business hub that I previously been using had a problem on it which prevented anything above 2GB do loose connection. This would explain other

Note I have used Mountain an error Lion from day one without the app store. The issue has just started. Doing some searched on the apple support I also found a thread where multiple people are having the same issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4178467?start=0&tstart=0 Any one aware of any solution?

Then it let me re-add them again in correct order and store is working. Not sure what caused the hick-up as it had previously been working. (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)

attempted installation of OS X El Capitan or OS X Yosemite are the "This copy of the Install OS X El Capitan application can’t be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading" error, or a "This copy of the Install OS X Yosemite application can’t be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading" message, or a more vague "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running again" error message. Sometimes these can be resolved by simply rebooting and trying to reinstall OS X again (or re-downloading the OS X installer if it was damaged), but if the error messages are persistent, then you may find that modifying the system date of the Mac can be the resolution. It's possible to encounter these errors during basically any type of installation attempt in OS X El Capitan or OS X Yosemite, ranging from the standard App Store update, using Internet Recovery, to clean installs, and using a bootable installer volume on a target Mac. If you run into either error message while trying to update or install OS X while from an active OS X boot (say, a standard upgrade from the App Store), you can typically resolve the problem simply by setting the Date & Time on the Mac to be determined automatically. To do this, go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Date & Time, and be sure the "Set date and time automatically" option is checked: That method requires the Mac to have active internet access, however. If you're on a computer without internet access, or if you encounter the problem during an alternative OS X installation method and thus can't access System Preferences, turning to the Terminal to set the date is the next option. To determine if the Terminal date trick can fix those error messages and help you to successfully install OS X, you'll need to turn to the command line while at the "Install OS X" boot menu. Pull down the "Utilities" menu option and choose "Terminal", then type the following command into the prompt: date Hit return, and if the reported date is anything other than the actual current date, then you've almost certainly found the cause of the problem. This may look something like: Mon Jan 19 09:55:15 PST 1984 The entire line matters, as the date must be correct in order to install OS X, specifically the year, because if the date set is prior to the release of OS X, the error will trigger. Pay special attention to the year as an obvious indicator of
