An app from the app store won't finish installing

My daughter is trying to install a game - Coffee Maker - but it won't stop installing and we can't delete it

Brand new Macbook, bought games from the Apple store, won't install!!!!!!!!

Hello folks, I finally broke down and entered the "MacWorld". While visiting my local Apple Store, my son became engrossed in a couple of games that were available for play. After much begging, I bought him two, fun, educational games, both Mac ready. One game, the "School Zone Kindergarten" easily installed one disk (the "math" portion), no problem. However, the second disk (the "reading" portion), just clicked and made funny sounds and was kicked out without installing. I tried several times. The second game, "Sponge Bob Typing" does the same thing, whirrs and clicks around but doesn't install.
I'm guessing this is operator error (as usual), so could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I was told Mac's are super user friendly, so what gives? Does mine hate me or something? Please help! I have a pretty upset little boy staring at me here, with his big sweet brown eyes, like I'm supposed to be able to DO anything. It's killing me! Please help! And many, many THANKS!

Thanks for your response. The "genius" told me it would work, I wonder if they will take it back? I know they usually don't return opened software, but......
In your case, and this is only my opinion, they will take the software back, since it's obvious it would not work and they said it would. Besides, you are a very good customer now
Anyway, what do you think is causing the glitch with the other game?
Since you have to go back to return the software, bring it all with you, along with the computer, and show the geniuses the problem.
You are covered for all this.
I think once you get things purring, you will be quite happy with your new acquisition, as well as your son.
Be very very sure to create a standard user account for your son. Keep your admin account for yourself.

After downloading and install 10.8 from the Mac Store, where does the install app go? I would like to burn the 'InstallESD.dmg" package to DVD.

Hi folks -- i downloaded ML 10.8 from the Mac Store yesterday, and before installing saw the install app in my Applications folder. Following a posting on Macworld.com, I would like to make a DVD backup of the installer, but after restarting from the installation process, the Installer app is gone from the Applications folder, and I cannot find it anywhere... In would like to make that DVD backup in case I have Internet issues and need to do an install.
Do I need to download the installar again (and if I do, do I have to pay for it again), or is it hidden somewhere invisibly on my drive?--
Thanks in advance ~

It gets deleted as soon as you install.
You need to quit the installer and extract from the app package before installing or download again.

ITunes can't locate the songs that I bought from the iTunes store on my new computer

I just got a new computer today and I backed up all my songs from old computer onto an external hard drive. When I sent my songs over onto my new computer and freshly downloaded iTunes, the songs that I actually purchased from the iTunes store won't play. It says that the item cannot be located.

Hello, brandma4.
More than likely iTunes was set to read the media on the external drive. If this is the case and the drive is not connected when attempting to play music, you will receive these alerts. The other possibly is that iTunes is not directed to where you placed the media on the computer. Here are the best troubleshooting articles that direct you on how to correct this issue.

Why does my iPod 4th generation say the certificate for this server is invalid when trying to access iTunes? I've never had an issue until this recently.

Tell me exactly how much you have in your store credit and I"ll let you know the best solution.
Also, I'm not 100% sure, but when you switch back to S.A., Apple MAY track your IP and still give you probs if they figure you're trying to get around this problem without moving out of America. But we won't know for 100% until we try it.
If your store change is less than the price of a single song, then you can ask the iTS support to just cash-out that balance. They'll probably send you a response to reverify this first though.

Once you change back to S.A. please let us know if you can still see the purchases in the Cloud or not from your US I.P. address as I'm curious if they've fixed this exploit fully or not.

Why won't my iPhone 4 on iOS5 sync updated apps from the iTunes store?

Did you by any chance sync the phone to a different computer that uses a different Apple ID?

HT201359 I downloaded ringtones from the iTunes Store, and it won't download, bor will it upload on my phone. What can I do? If I delete the app, will my money be refunded?

I downloaded ringtones from the iTunes Store from Nguyen Dev. It had some amazing tones, but when I tried to download it, it wouldn't work. I ave tried repeatedly, but to no avail. If I deleted it, would I get my money back. My ring tones are so bland that I wanted something that was a reflection of me. This had it all. I am so disappointed. What can I do?

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me. Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade. I have never heard of such. It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple. So stupid. I will not pay full price for the upgrade. Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ? I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not. It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.

iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?

How do I get a free app from the US store as it's not in the UK store and it says my UK id is not valid?

how do I get a free app from the US store, as it's not in the UK store, and it say my id is not valid when I swich stores?

To be able to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that it be added to the UK store, but unless the app's developer agrees to it then Apple won't be able to put it in the UK store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Hello milkisoo,
Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused.
As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment. However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear. This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order, resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed. Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
Thank you for posting.

App Store won't load from dock

Hi,
I am 10.6.8 with all updates current and wish to download Lion. The Icon for App Store won't load the app store and I've gone to iTunes trying to find the download site, no luck.
I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was searching to see if I'm red-lined due to location?
Anyone have comments?
Thanks

I, too, have all updates and want to download Lion.
Same as above with the App Store.
Tried the iTunes route and still no luck.
Looked at various forums, removed a few items from Library based on Apple Discussion recommendations.
Still no luck.
Working on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
Maybe it isn't a good time to upgrade, and I should wait until the next version. The bug reports should be resolved sometime soon.
This experience is moving me away from upgrading and it is annoying me because this has been a waste of no small amout of my time.

HT4623 I recently updated my 64 gig 4S to OS7, my apps don't work any more, the apps store won't work, I've tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no good. The phone is just a phone now

since updating my apps don't work anymore, the app store won't connect, I tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no go. The phone is just a phone now.

Try accessing the Store through the Music App first then use the other app.
You've already tried a Reset, Restore from Backup, Restore as New?
