All App Store downloads repeatedly failing after upgrade to 10.8

Every time I attempt to download a new app or update a currently installed app on my retina macbook pro the downloads fail in one of two ways.
1) The download skips from Zero KB to Installed and then back to Zero KB in a un-ending loop. 
2) One of my downloads reaches 10.25MB and then goes back to Zero KB and retries to download it 2-3 times until the App Store informs me an error has occured. 
I've deleted the downloads from finder (both from the applications folder and from "private/var/folders/... /C/com.apple.appstore/-random number-/") , canceled the downloads in the app store, restarted the app store, restarted the macbook and several combinations of these troubleshooting options.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?  The nearest genius bar is quite far from where I live.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The crashes are due to font issues of some kind:
Thread 0 Crashed:
0 ...ple.CoreServices.CarbonCore 0x90b96064 TSAcquireReader + 28
1 ATS 0x902bc198 ATSFontFamilyGetEncoding + 40
Does either application work from a different user account? You can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+|-\] to add/remove extra accounts.
If they do work fine in the other account, look in /Users/YourUsualUsername/Library/Fonts/ and remove any fonts you have added recently.
Failing that try FontBook to resolve any duplicate fonts and use FontFinagler (Google for it) to remove potentially corrupt font caches.

  • App Store will not load after upgrading to mac osx 10.7.2

    Upgraded my MacBook Pro to 10.7.2 and now App Store will not present any information... seems to hang trying to connect to the store.  This is just one symptom of issues after the upgrade... Outlook, Safari, KeyChain Access, etc all failing to load or to operate properly.

    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
    Then restart your Mac.
    If you still have problems, you may need to repair the startup disk.
    Use Lion Recovery to do that.

  • Why App store doen't open after upgrading to IOS 5,1?

  • App Store not working properly after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite. I checked the App Store's icon to see that I have 6 updates. I launched the App Store and this was my window:
    This is my Purchases tab (although I am signed in):
    And this is my Updates tab (Although it says 6 updates. They should be iWork and the other new Yosemite updates.):
    When I click on Store -> "View my account", it keeps on asking me to sign in forever.
    Also when I click on "iCloud" in preferences, I get this error which I think is related:
    I tried restarting my mac several times. I tried quitting the storeagent from the Activity Log. But it's still the same.

    I am having the same problem since downloading ios6
    Almost wish I hadn't

  • I cann't open App Store  in iPhone 4 after upgrade to iOS 6, could you please help me !

    Hi, could you please help me to solve my problem ?
    After upgrading to iOS 6 , sometimes I cann't access to App Store on my iPhone 4 ?

    I had this too when I updated to iOS 6 today.  Solved it by doing a restore to factory conditions followed by a restore to my last backup.  Now its idling around 45% CPU and is back to its snappy performance.

  • App store won't open after upgrading to Maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick I cannot launch the app store.  When clicking on the icon it shows 6 updates but will not open.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Hi gabbycallaghan,
    If you are unable to load the Mac App Store after updating to Yosemite, you may want to see if you can access the iTunes Store and/or try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article, as access issues can often affect both stores:

  • Mac App Store Won't Work After Upgrading HDD

    I'm on a Macbook Pro 2011. I had Mavricks. I downgraded my OS because I had hardware that wouldn't work with Mavricks. I also upgraded my HDD. I tried to open Mac App store but it won't open. The icon will appear on my dock and the App Store title bar appears, but all the opions in the menu are greyed out and not clickable.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • App store download repeatedly crashes and redownloads 2gb content

    Incredibly frustrating. I've searched on this forum and most talk about disabling little snitch. That's not software I use, I don't have any kind of blocking things going on. I've tried repairing permissions as well. Any ideas. I'm not impressed with having to redownload this huge file each time, it's eating up my limited broadband allowance!

    ok, a bit of time common sense and patience told me I only had 3gb of space left on the machine! Made some room and everything works fine. Check your HD space!

    The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X  v.10.8.5...
    ...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:   
    Mountain Lion  (10.8.5)  Software Upgrade,  and
    Yosemite FREE upgrade
    If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.

  • How can I completely remove failed App Store downloads?

    I have two purchases from the app store that have failed - they will not complete no matter what I try. How can I completely remove them to start again? Thanks,

    is what I'm staring at. I've tried all sorts and this is where I get. No errors. No messages. Nothing.
    What is this machine doing and why isn't it simple to clear the cache/temp files and go again with the download?
