App store Glitch Not installing apps

I tried installing a new app, a free one, bit it's glitching. I go to the app store, search for Any game but when I press free, it does this weird thing where the free button moves and then all I can see I half the install button. I tried pressing the half-install button but it does nothing.
I have a iphone with ios3.2 and i cant update Please help.

Thanks for the suggestion, a brody. I should have been more specific. These are third-party apps from the App Store. Some apps, Apple and third-party, do update normally. I have 9 apps now that say there are updates but cannot update.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

I get but not the app. store in my doc. App. store is not installed, how do I do it for each other? I have my apple software update.

Hello,

App. store is not installed, how do I do it for each other?

App.store app but after my update is not in the dock and system.

Hi Kees ...
Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8
You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard V10.6 in order to use the App Store. This is an "upgrade", not an "update".
Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements here.
You must have the minimum of v10.6.6 installed in order to access the App Store.
You can purchase Snow Leopard here > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

App purchased on App Store will not Install...

I'm on an Intel iMac OS 10.6.8. My Mac has 3 accounts on it, me, wife and Kids.
Wife purchased "Numbers" from App store yesterday in her account on her Apple Id. The App's Icon jumped from App Store into the Dock and the dock icon indicated that the app was downloading like it's supposed to. However once the download had completed the App was nowhere to be found and clicking on the dock Icon did absolutely nothing. A search of the Applications folder confirmed the App was not Installed.
Going back into the App store and looking in the Purchased section showed Numbers was purchased and the button said "Install" rather than "Installed" so we downloaded again with the same results. Have done this half a dozen times and Numbers just refuses to install.
I have downloaded other App's in her account without any problems. We did have a demo of iWork on the Mac a while ago but that was deleted, don't know if that may have anything to do with it. Have tried all the obvious like permissions repair etc. email to Apples App store support team was a waste of time, no useful information in there.
Any help would be appreciated...

Done that and it's definitely nowhere to be found. Have just been on the phone to Apple support for over an hour and still not sorted the problem. The wife has now gone to work and she won't tell me her Apple password so even though I have a few other options to try I can't untill later on.
Going to try installing later on in Safe Mode, see if that works...
Meanwhile... twiddles thumbs and hopes for any more advice.
Thanks all!

Mac App store will not install / run

My mac says that OSX 10.6.6 is installed. If I attempt in launch the app store, the icon appears in the dock briefly then disappears. It is the same if its launched from Applications or Apple menu. I tried to uninstall the app store then re- installing 10.6.6 combo but I get an 'Unknown error occurred during the installation of this software....' The App re-appears in the Apps folder but still fails to run. I have checked disk permissions, tried re-installing but the same error persists.

Hi,
Follow the instructions at this link...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3624
Where you see:
"If the Mac App Store has been fully removed from your computer, visit AppleCare Support Downloads to download the Mac OS X v10.6.6 Combo Software Update package. Double click the file that downloads to run the Software Update. The Mac App Store will be replaced in the Applications folder and in your Dock."

Ovi store will not install. + getting quickoffice ...

Hi, today I did a hard reset of my E6. I did this because I got an error trying to install ebuddy, chat for facebook and others. (Innstallation failed error).
Now, I seem to have a similar problem with ovi store, it downloads but I get an error "Could not install" after it is downloaded. I have tried several restarts and also downloading the installe rfile to my phone, same error. I am getting very frustrated right now.
Also, how to I get the preinstalled apps like joikuspot (Is that spelled right?) and quickoffice back?
Any help would be appriciated!

Hi,
I'm having the same problems with my E6. I have got it for a week or so now. My Ovi Store didn't work at all but then out of nowhere I got an update on it and now it's working fine. I even downloaded an free app called NU.nl but after that one I get errors everytime I want to download an app. I didn't do a reset because my E6 is totally new and I haven't put anything on it so don't see the point of that. Can somebody help?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

Update Evernote in Mac App store will not install

1 update available, but it has already the status "Installed". I removed the entire Evernote app and tried to dowwload a full new version from the store in order to wipe this update. This did not work, I also downloaded a full version direct from Evernote and installed it but it did not clear the presented update in the store. That was BTW a solution from the Evernote support team.
How can I get rid of this qued update?

I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed. If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it. I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device. As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

App Store does not install

I am running OS X 10.6.8 and the App Store is missing. I have tried multiple reinstalls (including the 10.6.8 v1.1 update combo) but it does not help. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but can't do so without the App Store. I have contacted support and they are of no help. Before I ran the update the icon would show in my applications folder but there was the international symbol of the "O" with the line through it. After the updatre I cannot find the App Store icon at all and anytime I try and access Mountain Lion through the App Store - Safari crashes. Ugh...
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. All is up to date - wish i could just install the App Store but that apparently is not possible,,,

App Store will not Install compatible apps for older iOS versions.

Note to Apple, fix the App store so we can install a compatible version of an app for older iOS versions.
My iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1. If I want to install a new app with this device ( one I have not ever installed), and the latest app says iOS 7 and above, ithe app store won't let me install an older compatible version, even if older versions used to be previously available .
I think Apple is trying to convince me to buy a Galaxy Tab for my next tablet. They are basically telling me to throw away my old iPad because it is no longer compatible with the newest iOS version 7 on the app store. You want that new app? If the latest version is only ios7 compatible, you're outta luck sukka.
<Edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. Whether an older version of an app is available depends upon the developer.

App Store will not install purchased applications

Something is going on with my new iMac here. I have been able to download and install all of my purchased applications up until a few days ago. I pay for the application, hit "Install", it gets dropped into my "launchpad" view and then proceeds to go through a tedious process of "Calculating". This particular application is stuck at 0KB of 2.21MB total, then, tells me that it is Installed". Yet, when I check my launchpad view it is grayed up with a progress bar that is fully completed.
I have tried resetting the App Store, signing in / out, running debug tools, rebooting, removing the app directory to no avail.
It shouldn't be this hard.

Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Click the gold padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
Click the lock to save changes.
Now try downloading apps.
If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferernces > Security & Privacy then try again.
Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
Apps such as Little Snitch or Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading also.

App Store will not install anything on Snow Leopard

I just fixed (replaced HD) a Mac Book Pro 2010 with 8GB of ram. I install Snow Leopard in it and updated everything. Now I can't install anything using App Store. First, I wanted to upgraded to Yosemite, but clicking on the Download anything was not doing anything.
Then I tried to install anything else. Nothing works. Basically, App Store is useless here.
I opened Console and I see this error every time I click any install or download button:
12/15/14 10:03:09 AM
App Store[260]
ERROR: ITSExceptionHandler: {message:"TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function", url:"unknown (might be html-embedded script?)", lineNumber:"unknown"}
I suspect the App Store is using some embedded JS code that is not compatible with the old version of Safari used in Snow Leopard.
Can anyone provide any help with this?

I completely agree that torrents are a perfect place to inject nefarious bits of code and I meant only to highlight the extremes that I needed to go to in order to workaround this bug. As for the illegal part, I already own the software and was unable to access it from the app store as a result of Apple's failure to put safeguards in place concerning compatibility issues (even if SL is a dead OS). Were apple to provide any of the following things I would not have needed to resort to torrent files:
1. Provide hard copies of OSX (not just dead ones)
2. Provide DL links when purchasing OSX (not just app store codes)
3. Provide support (just to chat with a representative costs $30)
In the end I am confident that there are no "extra" bits of code but required a lot of extra work. I used the copy of mavericks only to download the installer for Yosemite from the now working App Store which I then produced a bootable USB drive from. Then I did a clean install of OSX Yosemite (erased and installed on HD). After that I booted to recovery mode and once again erased my HD and installed Yosemite from the now present recovery partition.

Imovie (bought from app store) will not install?

I hope someone can help! I have purchased imovie from the app store for my Mac Book Pro (OS X 10.6.8). When I click on it to instal it via the app store the icon appears in the dock and the download appears to progress as it should. After the installation is "complete" then icon in the dock simply disappears, but the app store tells me that it is "installed". I then open up the applications folder (because there is no longer an imovie icon in the dock, only when it is "installing"), and it is simply not there? Also tried using finder / manual search of whole computer! and can't find any sign of it?
After restarting computer I can go into the app store click on the icon and "install" it again? But still get the same problem.
Also installed a couple of simple apps from the app store to check that there's no bug in installing apps. Both successfully installed into the dock, no problems.
Can any one help? App is bought and payed for!

Bit of extra information: just looked in system preferences / software updates / installed software. Here it tells me it has been installed. By I still can't find it on my computer??
