I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, and now i can't run my current version o Xcode.
However, I cannot upgrade to 4.4 either.
We could not complete your purchase.
Xcode can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new.
I'm running OSX 10.8 on
Macbook pro 13' early 2012
Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Simply delete the preferences plist of the App Store App. (Execute the following command in your terminal)
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm -r ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.appstore.savedState
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
rm -r /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore
Restart the App and you will be able to download Xcode 4.4.

_irrelevant's suggestion fixes the problem. Thanks.
Can you try it again, including the 2 folders?
Just tried. No dice.
Could it have something to do with the fact that I have Developer Preview 3 of Xcode 4.5?
Edit: Just tried with the fourth remove command added in and it worked. Thanks a bunch 🙂
Suffered the problem mentioned by the OP, but the solution by _irrelevant fixed it for me.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Same here, the fourth rm command fixed it for me, Thanks!
Solution by _irrelevant worked for me. Didn't have the file on the second line, but the rest were present and once executed, problem solved.
Thanks so much. That did the trick! 🙂
Thank god finaly!
Fixed it for me too!
I'm assuming the problem was caused for people running Mountain Lion and tried to download xcode in the App Store while 4.3 was the only version available in the App Store. I tried earlier today and apple.com said you could get xcode 4.4, but the link went to the only one avaiable--4.3 which isn't Mountain Lion compatible. Found this thread by googling when 4.4 was giving me the same error as 4.3.
Also solved for me, many thanks!
Thanks, _irrelevant. I had the same problem and your solution was right on.

Worked! Great ty!
I'm using the Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro 13" mid 2012. I have also got a problem when I have downloaded the Xcode 4.5 about 83mb then it stoped download and start back at 73mb up to 83mb, it stoped again. I have no idea what happened but I try serveral way nothing impossble. I got this problem once I download the app quite large like Mountain Lion or Xcode. Can someone let me know how to fix it problem. Thanks!
note: I downloaded the Xcode 4.5 on the Apple Developer website already. However, I also can not Install it with an error given: "Image date corrupted".
Please ask this question in a new thread. The issue in this dicussion was about Xcode 4.4, not 4.5. Additionally, the problem has very little in common with your issue.
Can't install Xcode 4.4 from Mac App Store
