After all I read concerning the OSX update to version 10.8.3 and following suggestions, I still get a time-out error 102. I've cleaned the cache, I've tried different browsers but nothing seems to help. Does anyone recognise this error and have an explenation or solution?
Best regards,
Matt
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Are you getting the time out error when trying to download 10.8.3, or is this occuring after installing 10.8.3?
If it is in trying to download, try the support download site, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640 That is usually a fast and clean site.
I'm getting this error while downloading 10.8.3. It sometimes will download as far as 250MB but most of the time it will not start downloading at all. Tried the support downloadsite as suggested but both my laptops (Pro and Air) stop at 333MB out of 700 something MB
Best regards,
Matthew

Matthew, when do you get the Error 102? Is it when doing the App Store download, or also with the Support site download? An Error 102 can also be a server refusal to connect code. If this only occurs with the Appe Store, is your AppleID entering correctly, and is your computer authorized?
Ralph, the 102 error manifests itself when download via App Store. Can't believe I entered a wrong user ID or password since everything else is downloadable (tried downloading a free program). When I download the update at the suggested site, it hangs at 349,3MB of 832,2MB. I'm using Safari. I've waited about a half an hour but the progress bar stands rock steady at 349,3MB. Tried also to download using Google and Mozilla. The same...
(resterende tijd: 20 minuten is Dutch and means remaining time: 20 minutes.
When it hangs, how long do you let it sit there? When I downloaded the Combo package, the first day it was out which is always bad, the time remaining kept bouncing around from under an hour to as much as 10 hours. I just let it sit until it downloaded the file. I think it ended up taking just over an hour. But it did download.
The App Store issue, the 102 error could be a refusal on the part of the server for some reason, system load, etc., which will eventually cause a time-out error message. In theory, we all know how much that is worth, the system should tell you why connection has been refused. Doesn't always work out, though.
Unless the Combo download is stalling for a really long time, I would let it work at downloading for a while, as long as you have time to let it go.
There once was an ability to pause a download and resume later...see if you can do that if it is taking too long.
It hangs until I switch off the laptop. The 20 minutes you see is just the begin of a long and fruitless session. This is the first time I encounter this kind of problem. I can understand that the download service is for those who have an AppleID and password. What I don't understand is why the download starts, downloads a fair piece and than hangs. I just give it up. I'll wait for the next update and see if that one works. By the way: the update just previous of this one (java update) worked like a charm.
Error 102 update 10.8.3
