Error 102 when trying to download OS X 10.8.5, Help!

I am using a 2012 Macbook Pro and attempting to download a software update via the Mac App Store, I receive an error 102 before the download will begin! I even tried to download the update directly from the Apple support site only to be hit with an access denied page :/


What can I do?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

No older versions of the Mac OS are available for initial download from the Mac App Store!

If you go into the Mac App Store and perform a Software Update, you will only be offered the latest and greatest Mac OS version your Mac can upgrade to.

Which will be either Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan, macOS 11.13 HighSierra OR the latest version of macOS Mojave.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
