App store doesn't download apps and freezes

I have a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8 and when I enter the app store, everything works fine. But when I see a app I want, even if it's free, it say install/buy and when i click again it freezes, my cursor turns into the swirlly wheel and it never stops. I force quit and I haven't done anything to make it suddenly stop working. Help?

    Hey there ajj16452,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, your iTunes Store purchase didn't download completely and you’re looking for some troubleshooting suggestions. Take a look at the article linked below which provides a lot of great information that will resolve most iTunes Store download issues.

  • 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.

    I have a laptop (2010) with Lion OS and tried to install Mavericks and part way through the installation it quit and reverted back to Lion and the app store doesn't let me download Mavericks again. How can I resolve this?

    Is your data backed up?
    Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools?

    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Just delete it from the Applications folder, and re-download it.
    If it still says installed when you go to Purchased in App Store, click somewhere else, and option-click Purchased. That allows you to redownload already installed software.

    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

  • I recently traveled in Egypt with my iPad. Iam back in the US, but I wanted to download an app, and I get a message that I cannot download from the Australian store, and I need to switch back to the USA how do I do this?

I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

    1. Tap "Settings"
    2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
    3. Tap on your Apple ID
    4.Tap "View Apple ID"
    5. Enter your user name and password.
    6. Tap "Country/Region."
    7. Tap "Change Country/Region"

  • App store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me has anyone else noticed this?

    The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?

    Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
    As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
    Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.
