APP Store error 100

This is quite annoying and seems like I am not alone.
Am waiting on a Support call. I upgraded to Lion through App Store and iWork '09 and PhotoShop Elements stopped working. Then I used App store to purchased Pages. I was happy as a clam that all was going smoothly and I would not need to worry about install disks again.
Then tried to purchase Aperture. That's when problem started. I made sure all info in my Apple Store and Apple Account and Apple ID was correct. I logged in and out, started and restarted my iMac. Deleted and tried another credit card, tried Pay Pal. Tried going into Pay Pal to confirm iTunes authorization.Tried reentering original credit card. Tried updating my Account in iTunes. Tried deleting all library caches. Tried all again on another Mac computer that had SL. Tried waiting 24 hours to see if App Store would accept. Tried using the same credit card at another site (Amazon) to confirm the credit card wasn't locked by my bank.
So now I have Lion, can't do Christmas projects w/o photo editing software on my desktop and can't update through Apple online. This has turned into a bummer. Spending HOURS in my Apple Acount and App Store and researching Apple Help and Forums and trying everything and getting nowhere. Thankfully I have a MBA that is struggling earnestly to do video and photo editing- something it was not made to do.
I may reinstall SL in my IMac when I get done with my Christmas Projects today. And get back the use of all the applications that no longer work under Lion. That means that Apple will lose sales since I will not be updating the applications that I would gladly have purchased if the App Store had worked as it should. But my contribution to potential sales is a mere pittance, not something that Appple takes very seriously or they would have fixed this problem long ago.
Will see what Support can offer...

Photoshop probably needs the Java RE, which is not installed by default by Lion. Download it here:

    when i try to buy mountain lion it says app store error (100) try later what should i do

    Try here first >  Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, try the following:
    Disable anti virus software.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.storeagent.pllist
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

    Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Keep checking http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ and wait for them to resolve the issue.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • App store error 13

    Hi,
    Please advise how to solve the App store error 13
    I can't update my Mac applications anymore.
    Ths
    Sylvain

    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 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 by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!
    It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

    I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

  • Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

    I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
    The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
    I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

    When trying to update PopClip, I get the following two errors:
    "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again"
    After clicking OK, I receive the next error:
    "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"
