App Store and Updates not loading in Mavericks

Hi there,
Upgraded my imac to Mavericks and all was well. Then there were some updates for my Aperture, iPhoto and iMovie (all previously purchased as full copies). Something went wrong to my internet connection during the updates and the app store repeatedly asked for my Id and password, which I entered.
The downloads finally completed and the apps seem to work ok.
The problem arose when i went back to the app store and it would not open the application. The toolbar for the app store appears but the appstore software doesnt. No can not log in to app store to check updates and will not allow to check for updates from the Software Update option at the Apple logo.
Tried to restore from Time Machine but will not all it saying it needs the files for OSX. Whats going on?
How can I restore the appstore, OSX and not lose my data - this is a family Mac and all our photos of our children and family are on it!
Any help really appreciated.

If you continue to have problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

Ipad wont sign into app store, safari pages not loading

I bought an ipad 2 used. It wont sign into itunes store or app store and safari isnt loading anything. I am connected to a working wifi. It is signed into my icloud, and facetime. When signing into imessage it says check network connection. Then verification failed. I finally I updated it to ios 7.1.2 hoping it might fix it. still same issue. What am I missing or did i buy a problem child?

I hesitate to post again since I could be suggesting things that you already tried - like the first thing that I suggested - but I would try Resetting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Even if every other device in the house can connect to the network, sometimes that helps.
IF that doesn't work, and if you post again, let us know what you have already tried so we are not suggesting the same things that you've already attempted.

I successfully unlocked my iPhone 4S (AT&T, iOS 7.0.2) and many apps are missing. Went to app store and updated all apps. If I manually update a single app it will show up. Solution to get all apps back in place?

App store and Safari not working after Time Machine restore to new hardware.

I just had to install a new hard drive to my mid 2010 imac. I restored with time machine. I cannot find the original OS disc. Upon restoring it appears there is a problem with the webkit framework as Safari, App store, and Skype all freeze upon clicking on them and after bouncing, they never open. Chrome is working. What do I do?

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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

Linebreak between app description and update notes in store

Hello everyone, this might be an ununsual request, but:
Is there a way to get an empty line between the app description and the update notes, on the store page of an app?
For example: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/booru/9ecd20a6-e102-4ba1-89ee-52113564a1a8
As you can see, the text block starting with "Update notes:" is right below the text block of the app description. This makes it really hard to tell which is which.
I've tried adding whitespaces and empty lines but they're getting automatically removed.
Thanks for any ideas how to solve this!

I upgraded my iphone last night from the 4G to the 4GS, I downloaded all of the updates and the back up. today my phone is very slow, the APP store will not load, and other applications are running very slow or will not open. I have rebooted my phone, deleted apps such as netflix and face book re downloaded, earlier was able to, now I cannot. Does anyone have any suggestions, wondering why I upgraded my phone??????

If you are going to use Firefox 3.0, you should try the last version 3.0.19 rather than 3.0.1

Ipad mini, app store purchased tab not loading

app store will not load my purchased item tab. have tried on 3 different apple devices.

It isn't 10.7. I purchased Lion last night and downloaded it on my MB Pro. Now when I go into the App Store on my iMac, I can't get to my purchases to load it on that machine. It is still running 10.6.8. Think it may be something wrong with the App Store servers and they aren't updating.

App Store Purchases Tab not Loading

I need to re-download a program, but the purchases tab in the app store isn't loading. I'm not even getting the spinning wheel on the left when I click on the tab. The only time it loads if I'm not logged in - and then it just says I have to login to view my purchases. I've tried logging out and logging in, restarting.

I believe the store is overloaded, and will clear itself when people calm down loding OSX Lion.
Try a different time of day, don't forget usa is in the afternoon evening and they will be hammering Lion downloads about now after a hard day at work...

App Store and Update Pricing

Hi all
Does any one know the state of play with upgrade pricing or have we seen an end to this?
For example I have Aperture 3 (CD/Box version) so it's not on my app store account. When they release v4 (which I assume will be MAS only will you have to pay full price every time. While I appreciate that Aperture has got cheaper other developers won't drop prices like Apple?
So any news on upgrades?

Dah•veed wrote:
Upgrades will normally be paid. The price is the descision of the developer. Apple has released no other information. Only incremental updates are free during the version life of an app.
Hi.
I would expect to pay for an non incremental upgrade but will these be at full price or low. If you take FCPX there's no upgrade from FCS. I appreciate you could argue the price is low but if I purchased FCPX would FCPX 2 be at an upgrade price for existing users or will you pay full again.
Like wise while Apple has dropped the price of Aperture when (and if) Aperture 4 becomes available will it be available at an upgrade price for v3 users or are we now in a one price each time market. And if as I expect Apple will release all future software online. Should upgrade pricing be available then what happens to retail box users who have not had their original product through the store?

App Store and others Not Responding in Mountain Lion

Since updating to Mountain Lion - from what was a clean and fine Lion system - I can no longer access the App Store, the Security and Prvacy tab of System Preferences (and ONLY that panel) plus other native Apple apps fail like trying to edit a contact in Address Book.
All end in a 'Not Responding' and thus a force quit.
Other apps basically work. Mail - for example - works until I try and copy and paste an email address when thr spinning parasol takes over.
So far - for me - Mountain Lion is proving a disaster and I am hoping this is a some simple setting buried deep somewhere that is just not right.
Can anyone give me any clues where to look before I throw my MacBook pro into the fishpond out of sheer frustration! ?

Andy,
Sorry this is so long...just trying to help and support your efforts. I for one am not convinced your install was damaged (because of my experience below!) but it COULD be. I think mende1's suggestions were a good start.
Not knowing what MBP model and previous OS you have it's difficult to say at this point exactly WHAT the issue is with your upgrade. I have heard the upgrades to Lion and Mtn Lion from anything previous can be problematic, depending on various things and/or how it is done. But usually, the older the MBP model and OS are (or any other Mac for that matter, assuming it CAN be upgraded of course), the more issues there can be.
However, I CAN tell you that I JUST discovered TWO significant bugs in the SysPrefs on a BRAND NEW MBP 2.6Hz, Mid-2012 I received last week, with pre-installed Mnt Lion 10.8 and NO other non-native software installed yet. And sure enough...I JUST returned from the Apple Store where I was able to reproduce the bugs on ALL their computer models, ALL of which were using the 10.8 OS (...and which I am about to report to Apple, but only AFTER replying here first, as I had intended and wanted to do last night, except that I FIRST needed to confirm if they were reproducible and legit at the store, which they are). So you may have discovered additional new bugs (or not), but obviously you won't know until or unless you do additional testing (ugh - I know!).
I would say your issues are a possible combo of the age of your MBP, the upgrade, and POSSIBLY other bugs in 10.8 that are as yet unknown. Only additional testing and time will tell for sure. At the very least I would back everything up, do a complete wipe via Disk Utility (for good measure) and reinstall 10.8 clean to help rule out possible "upgrade" issues (ie, over a previous OS), then go from there.
I also miss the good ol' DVD days as well and am not a fan of the new install paradigm with much less control over various parameters. Not to mention the fact is REQUIRES an internet connection. But here we are. (What if I'm in the middle of Borneo when my Mac goes down without an internet connection??! LOL...but seriously.)
Regardless, and for what it's worth, here are the two new SysPref bugs I just discovered in 10.8 and was able to confirm at the Apple Store. As far as I know they are as yet unknown and do not appear anywhere else on this forum. Furthermore, the functions described below work perfectly in 10.6.X and 10.7.X OS (I have another Mid-2007 MBP with 10.6.8 and a 2011 iMac running 10.7.4 for comparison).
Bug 1- Desktop OS contextual menu does not function properly under certain circumstances. Right-click on desktop and select Change Desktop Background. If you're lucky the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window opens. If it DOES, quit and repeat. The second time it will NOT open - despite the fact SysPrefs actually IS activated (ie, upon the second attempt, assuming it opened the first time and you quit/closed it, the SysPrefs icon bounces in the dock and displays the white orb beneath - indicating it is active - however, the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window DOES NOT OPEN/APPEAR). In other words, it is open but HIDDEN (bug no.1).
At this point, repeat the selection above again OR...Command-Tab over to the open but hidden SysPrefs icon and voila - the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window finally APPEARS. Now, quit SysPrefs, and repeat the selection above a THIRD time. Again, the SysPrefs icon bounces but nothing appears. Repeat the selection above again OR Command-Tab over to it's icon and voila - the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window now APPEARS.
Needless to say, the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window should ALWAYS open immediately (using the right-click contextual menu selection process above) the FIRST and every time thereafter. But it doesn't in 10.8. Also note that ONLY THE FIRST TIME this is attempted AFTER Restarting the computer OR logging out/in will the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window appear. Thereafter, it will not - as described above.
Bug 2 - Added folders to the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window do not stay put. Open the SysPrefs Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window (opening process doesn't matter) and ADD at least 2-3 other folders to the Folder section below using the + button (regardless of whether or not they contain pictures, for demonstration purposes only). This function obviously allows one to specify NUMEROUS OTHER folders that contain pictures to be used as possible desktop backgrounds, in addition to the default Pictures folder that is there, and the default pics Apple provides above. Now, note the LAST folder that is added to the group of folders (regardless of how many were added) that now appear under Folders. Close/quit SysPrefs. Re-open the Desktop & Screen Savers window again and note that only the LAST folder that was added now resides under Folders and all others, except the defaults, have disappeared (bug no.2).
Not sure if this will be much help Andy but wanted you to know you are not alone and it may not all be you! So much more to say but good luck getting this resolved. It took me forever to figure this out and the full story is so much longer, but I will spare you the boring details. Suffice to say, only trial and error will get you closer to an answer, as frustrating that process can be, but I would start with a clean install and take it from there (despite the transition hassle that route obviously presents - argh!). Hang in there and please let me/us know how it goes.

App Store and Updates

like said probly be out on the last day of june and as for having to pay you can read the topic the mods really hated(alot cuz of me) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1445765&tstart=0
To their credit though they only locked the thread, they have not yet taken it down. People should not hurl abuse at Apple over this. Someone has made a huge mistake (motivated by goodness only knows what) and users should urge Apple to reconsider. If even Sony can admit from time to time that they got it wrong, surely Apple (in its own interests) could do so too?

Since downloading ios6 I am booted off App Store and updates to apps don't work

Since downloading ios6 my ipod continually boots me off of the App Store. I can no longer update apps just shows a lot of waiting and no success. What to do?

Nevermind. Got the answer I needed on another forum. If you are reading this, I simply signed out and signed in of the section called iTunes and Apps (under settings).
Solved.

App Store and dock not letting go

Hi all,
Each time that I boot up, the app store appears in the dock even though I remove it each time by dragging and letting go and the "spoof". What do I do if I don't wanna see it in the dock each time?

Hi ...
Apps that run on the Mac OS X cannot run on an iOS based device for apps purchased from iTunes Store and vice versa. Two different operating systems.
