App Store doesn't download any app

I struggeld until noon with the App store on my 2 MacPro. The pity was that it worked on my MacBookPro an my MacMini and I didn't have any clue what the problem was.
Today I finally called Apple support (it was the first time ever ...) and tried to solve the problem.
During the first hour we tried all the Standard-Fixes on my MacPro:
- Fix permissions
- Fix permission booted from DVD
- Try it with the Admin Account
- Try it with a new account
- Try with another AppleID
unfortunately nothing helped. All the time I could download Apps on my MacMini and the MacBookPro.
The I was handed over to another Support Sepcialist (Frank Rolle) and we continued the following actions:
- Booting in save mode
- Cleaning App Store (Item in Application, /Library/Caches, ˜/Library/Caches, ˜/Library/Application Support/App Store/, ˜/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist, ˜/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist), Reboot, Installing 10.6.6. Combo Update
- Installation of a Clean Snow Leopard and the 10.6.6 Combo Update
Looking at the logs Frank Rolle found there strange Errors from Paralles and VMWare Extension concerning the network. That was the time, I realised, that I have a bonding on my MacPro (wehn I have 2 Ethernet I like to use them ...) and thought that this could be a problem.
After disabeling my bonding an switching to AirPort my App Store suddenly worked as expected. What a happy moment!
Then I decided to force this problem on my newly installed MacPro by enabling bonding and then the App Store didn't work anymore.
Actually I'm informing Frank Rolle with the need infos that the developers can look into this problem.
My personal workaround is that I enable AirPort whenever I like to use the App Store. My AiPort is the first network device so I can quickly enalbe it, download in App store and switch back to normal operation by disabling my AirPort.
Hope this helps anybody ...

Sounds like you might have an unstable or very slow data connection.

My iTouch doesn't download any new apps?

My iTouch 32GB, 5th Gen., 7.0.6., doesn't download any new apps... Every time I've tried to download a new free app/game, it asks for my Apple ID password, which is normal, but then it tells me "You've already downloaded this, it will be downloaded at no additional charge", and then the app's "price rectangle" turns into a cloud with an arrow pointing down. I tap it again and it asks for my Apple ID password again, I put my password once again and then it tells me "You've already downloaded this, it will be downloaded at no additional charge" again, but it doesn't download at all. When I try the same with a previously downloaded but deleted App, it downloads it without any issue... What can/should I do?..... Oh, and just another question real quick, my iTouch(same one) keeps deleting and "recovering" all of my notes, contacts, and calendar events at random, kinda scared it will delete my pictures. It only recovers them when I turn it off and and back on in a Wi-Fi /internet connected area, it is connected to iCloud and they(notes, calendar events, reminders, contacts) are "turned on" which kinda scares me. It's last Back Up was today at 3:49AM.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in.
- Try syncing them from your iTunes library
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT1452 How to repair IPHOTO. My IPHOTO is dark, it doesn't download any pictures.

How can i repair my IPhoto. Its dark. it doesn't download any photos

If you are using Time Machine or Spotlight is indexing, turn both off first. Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine and Spotlight control both. To turn off Spotlight, drag the drive used for Time Machine if you are using it.
Try to locate the largest iPhoto Library folder in terms of size with Find Any File. Make note of the path, and quit and reopen iPhoto holding the command and option keys. It will ask you to locate your iPhoto library, which is the xml file inside the folder you had located. Navigate there and let it rebuild. Note, if you are using Time Machine and the only larger folder is on Time Machine, recover it first to your main drive, and then map iPhoto to the location on the main drive.
Note: No MacBook Air can run 10.0.x, and you posted to the 10.6 forum. Please edit your profile with what you actually are running.

My App Store Doesn't Show Any Thing , and not working .

Today I've Noticed that My App Store Application is Not Working , and even I Can't Click On any Tabs ,and all of menu bar items such as sign out,sign in doesn't work . and doesn't Show Loading Status Bar, and doesn't show any message as you see in this picture :
I've Tried There Solutions:
Reset PRAM
Delete App Store Cache Files
Signed Out of Itunes And and signed in again
clear History and web site data in safari
But Nothing Changed .
(Sorry My English is Not Good at all , But i'll be thankful if you help me )

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Sign in to the App Store by selecting Sign In from the Store menu. If you're already signed in, sign out and then sign in again.
Step 2
Log out or restart the computer.
Step 3
Remove or disable "LittleSnitch" or any similar third-party software that blocks outgoing network connections according to the developer's instructions.
Step 4
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode.)
Step 5
If possible, connect to a different network and test.
Step 6
There are reports that resetting the PRAM may solve the problem in some cases. I can't confirm.

Can someone help me with that ?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

New iphone says "sync complete" but doesn't download any music?

I have had iTunes and used it without incident with my iPod. Just bought an iphone today but when I went to sync with iTunes for the first time it prompted me to updated to latest version which I did. For some reason it seems to sync to my iphone, says "sync complete", but doesn't download anything from my library. Iphone still says "no content". First day home with iphone. Not real happy about it.
Help please?

Make sure you have checked "Sync Music in the music pane when connected to iTunes.
Look at pages 13-15 in the User Guide available here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Previously downloaded apps in the app store are not downloadable any more

I had deleted apps on my iPad2 and now I'm trying to re-download them again from the Apps store, but these apps are dimmed in color, which indicates that I'm unable to download them any more. (The cloud is grayed out). Can anyone help?

Perhaps if you told us what those apps were someone here could verify if the apps are presently in the app store. Apps do not necessarily remain in the app store forever. Apps may be removed from the app store for a variety of reasons. If they are removed you will not be able to download them again.
If you have been syncing your iPad with iTunes on your computer you may have transferred all purchases from the iPad to iTunes. If you did that you could copy the apps stored in iTunes back to your iPad.

Why won't Ovi Store let me download any programs -...

I have an E71 and just updated the firmware. As moving settings over messed my wifi up last time, I opted to do this manually and reinstall all my programs - I set aside a few hours last night to get this done.
Ovi Store is widely known to have serious design flaws. The main being it does offer a direct download of the .sisx files on the PC version, only a text message with a link - which goes without saying is a terrible way of receiving files.
Last time I used the PC version my text messages showed up several days later - and this time none have appeared yet, as expected.
So I used the phones built-in Ovi Store, which does the job.
However, after just about installing all my programs I checked out the 'settings' in Ovi Store and saw that the default was for them to be stored on the memory card, which fundamental logic dictates is wrong - they go on the phone memory because it is faster.
Why is the default for programs to be stored somewhere no sensible, intelligent person would store them?
As there does not appear to be any semblance of a functional file system on the E71 (certainly not something capable of showing which memory various applications are saved to, or the option of being able to move them from the memory card back to the phone) I decided formatting the card would be the most sensible option.
I did this, lost a bunch of my apps that were on the memory card and went over to the Ovi store on my phone to re-download them.
It now has these apps greyed out as if they are still installed - which they are not!
I then went on my PC - and of course the website might as well not exist, because Nokia don't send me SMS messages for a few days, if at all.
I really don't know what I've done to deserve this. I've purchased two E71s, Nokia drive AND the traffic updates (which are now free) in the last 18 months - and all Nokia do is work as hard as they can to punish me, ruin my phone experience and force me onto the new Windows 7 phone that I am almost certain to order on release.
There is no coincidence about the degree of deliberately compromising hardware/software decisions I've complained about on this forum, Nokia never sending me programs I want via SMS but happily filling my SMS and email inbox with marketing - and waiting until I paid up for my Maps before making it free and now this.
It is clear that Nokia do NOT want me to enjoy their phone and buy an E72 soon - and instead want me to go with Windows 7. They have put great time, resources and effort into forcing me into this decision.
- Why does Ovi store online not have the manual download function that any sensible, reasonable human would demand?
- Why does the second-rate, third-world SMS download function not bother sending the link for several days?
- Why does the Ovi software install programs somewhere that no human with the slightest comprehension of IT skills would advocate installing them?
- Why does the Ovi software not let me re-install programs from the built-in store that are no longer on my phone?
I will be the last of my friends who have returned various phones such as the disasterous N97 and permamently moved to different phone manufacturers when my contract ends this summer.

1. Actually, any sensible intelligent person would store the programs on the memory card. Not doing so would mean that he has less knowledge of the phone. If any of the programs come into conflict with other programs causing certain problems like restarts general hangs, and unable to start the phone, if this app is on the phone memory, it would be hell of a problem. You can change it if you want. Your choice. Also I keep too many apps for them to be stored on phone memory. Python, Java 2.0, Flash Lite, MS Silverlight for Symbian and Ovi Maps already take up too much space to leave enough for buffer.
2. There is an application manager on the E71. Also, AFAIK the application manager also shows which memory the app is stored in (a little memory card icon beside apps in memory card). It should be in Menu>Tools>Manager
3. The apps are greyed out because you did not uninstall them properly. On the phone memory, where the Oinstallation logs are saved, there is no log of the apps being uninstalled, so Ovi Suite sees them as installed.
FOr the questions in bold:
1. This is done through a firefox plugin. We do not know why, but I suspect its with distribution rights and to make sure that only Nokia phones can access several apps that are exclusive for Nokia users only. For example, Gameloft and Polarbit gave away several paid games for free to Nokia users. If the apps were downloadable in sis files, the game manufacturers would not earn from Sony users who can get the files for their Satio for free through Nokia sites.
2. Not really sure. There are times I receive the SMS instantaneously, sometimes I receive them a few hours late.
3. False. In fact as I already stated above, it is more advisable to install apps in memory card as opposed to phone memory.
4. Also already explained above.
