Q: imovie download keeps failing

Hi Carolyn...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes, in the App Store it says the file size if 585MB, but when I started the download, it was in fact 616MB or something similar. And as I say, it kept getting to 597.6MB exactly and would then fail.

What I tried, and what was sent to me when I contacted the App Store support team was this URL http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3624.

Basically chose cancel when it said it had failed and then clicked on 'install' which started the download from start.

On a Windows based PC there is a temp download file that is stored whilst a file in being downloaded. Does anyone know where this resides on a Mac?

Yes, I did check Applications, and not in there

I am downloading the update now. Thanks again, will report how I get on.

Have applied the Combo update, and just tried to download iMovie again, and having exactly the same problems as reported

Yes it is, and the company I purchased it off of, did a complete reinstall of the OS prior to me taking it (Company shares the same building as us) and I have downloaded other apps off the App Store so I'm wondering if its just an issue with this particular App? But I would expect to see more posts about this issue if that was the case.

I didn't get the original install disks because they've been kind enough to let me test run the laptop for a week before deciding. However, I do find it odd that I've downloaded other apps in the App Store, and I have also installed apps like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Elements and Adobe Premier without any issues?

its a 120GB drive with 102GB free
