10.6.8, cannot dowload upgrade (or anything) from App Store

I can log in to the App Store, I can click on things and attempt to buy them...and that's it. The spinning progress wheel in the upper left just spins forever. I posted the same question 2 months ago but never got any sort of answer as to how to fix this.

You might attempt doing the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Reinstall the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 updater.

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

Try resetting the App Store.
Reset Learned from Old Toad
and you can try:
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.

Yep, I've been reading through other threads on lots of different sites over the last few hours and I can't seem to find a working solution, even though some seem to have worked for other people.
Most of them hadn't been updated in a while so I made my own post to see if anyone has anything new.

I started getting that message on my iPad tonight when I reset it completely. I haven't been t another country. So not sure if that has anything to do with it. I haven't been able to resolve yet.

Cannot download anything from App Store, no error.

I haven't been able to download anything from the Mac App Store. I've tried a few things to help with troubleshooting, and this is what I've gotten so far:
- I cannot download anything when I use my computer
- I cannot download anything, even if logged into another user (it is not limitted to my account)
- I can download things if I'm logged into my account on another computer
- Internet connection is not the issue, as I have tried many internet signals
I don't have any firewalls or anything like that.

I fixed it by turning my computer off and on again.
Go figure, I've been trying to fix this for weeks.

Can't download anything from App Store - MacBook

I've been using Windows 7 exclusively on my MacBook via Boot Camp for several years. I've since deleted the Windows partition. I ran a Software Update and am currently running OS X 10.6.8. I want to upgrade OS X further but can't download Yosemite (or anything) from the App Store. I click "get" and the button becomes unclickable but nothing happens. I also can't open iTunes.
I don't have anything on this computer that needs to be saved so I'm more than willing to restore, though I don't know how.

I'm having the exact same issue in the exact same situation.
I'm getting the error below in Console every time I try to install or download anything from the App Store. I suspect this has something to do with Safari and some Javascript code being used by Appstore pages.
I wish there was a direct link to download Yosemit. I'm stuck now...

I can purchase anything from App Store except from zombie hq

hi
I have an issue
why I can't buy from zombie hq
in he same time I can buy anything I want in AppStore
please help me

Hello yazeed-x,
I was looking for articles to try and resolve your specific issue, and came across an article that I think will help to resolve your issue. Its called The iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/.
I would start at the first step and verify your iPad meets the requirements for the game:
Verify iOS requirements
Make sure the app is compatible with your iPhone software:
Check the requirements in the App Store.
Check your iOS version using Settings > General > About.
If the app requires a newer version of the iOS than the one you are using, update iOS on your iPhone.
If it comes to step 3, Close app, I recommend closing ALL the apps not just the app store.
All the best,
Sterling

I didn't buy anything from App Store , but have many charges to my credit card ? Why ?

I wanna purchase line icon at stickers shop , but keep come out the symbol in apps purchases are not allowed ? Why ?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you haven't purchased anything from iTunes then contact iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Cannot download anything from app store

I have looked through posts on this subject and nothing has helped me yet...
Running lion on a brand new macbook pro and keep receiving this message when attempting to download even free apps:
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
It appears right after typing in password to apple id.
I came back over 12 hours later and still got that message. Tried restarting and still the message...
ideas?

here is a solution for someone that I found (If you don't have a second AppleID, try creating a new one):
"I was trying to download an App from the Mac OS X App Store. When I put in my password and clicked Sign In, instead of downloading and installing the application this message came up:
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)
Luckily I have more than one Apple ID, so I just deleted my email address from the left text field and put in my other email address, put in my password or that one and clicked Sign In again. It worked fine."

Can't download anything from App Store with 10.6.8

Does anyone else have any information with this issue? I was told there is a server problem that only affects users with 10.6.8. As I said, I can't even download a free app let alone anything else.
I click an app and I get the icon to download or install but it just sits there forever and does nothing.
I sure hope they fix this soon as I am dead in the water with trying to recover a major hard drive disaster!
