App Store moving very slowly in new OS X Mavericks.

I just upgraded to Mavericks and everything seems fairly good, but the App Store is moving very slowly compared to how it did in the last OS X. It takes far longer to load and remains on a grey screen while it's loading. In the last OS, the loading was instant. The internet I was using right this moment is faster and more reliable than was I usually use, so I have to assume that it's not related to the internet. Has anyone else been having this issue? I know Mavericks is really new so I am expecting some bugs for a few weeks but this is a bit annoying!
I am using a MacBook Air, 13 inch, very new computer.

Hi,
It's been a few hours now with no difference. I admit that I don't know how long it takes to index stuff since this is my first Mac, I've only had it a few months and I'm still learning an awful lot. n_n; About how long will it take? Also, I saw someone mention something about SMC reset (I believe) on Airs after installing Mavericks, is that something I need to do?

I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion. I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store. Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store. I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

Does Migration Assistant move native apps like App Store, iTunes etc to a new MBP?

I want to replace my current 2010 13" MBP running Lion with a new 13" MBP 2.9 GHz (not Retina) running either Lion or Mountain Lion. I want to make sure that Migration Assistant does not move the (recently) very buggy native apps on my current machine (App Store, iTunes, iPhoto) to the new machine.

App store loading VERY slow or not at all

Hello.. I hope someone here can help me. Since i upgraded to ios 4 i have been having problems with the app store. It either takes 5 to 15 mins to load then another 5 to 15 mins to update or download an app or it doesn't load at all and kicks me back out to the main screen. seems to be only happening with app store. I have updated to the newest ios, done the soft reset, restored it in iTunes, changed my dns server and just about everything else i can think of as well as everything i have found on the internet. Any1 else having this problem or heard of it ? Or any1 know how i can fix it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was using iOS 4.1 on my iP4 since last Oct., apart from the sporatic wifi connectivity issue, all was well. The wifi issue kept persisting and nothing I did fixed it (did all the standard troubleshooting...again). Apple Care said I had to update to (at the time) 4.3.3 before they could help me. So I did, didn't help any, but I also noticed how certain things I did was lagging. ie. flipping through the screens, launching and quitting of apps, and yes, accessing the App Store. Everything was taking about 3-4 second longer. . Apple Genius noticed the connection issue as well as the lags, so gave me a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3. Lags are still there, and App Store is very slow.
As the OP mentioned, it would take forever to just load up pages, when you go to update your apps, you hit Update All, it looks like your phone just froze on you. You can't do anything but hit the home key and go out of the App, and try again, but you still run into the same issue. But if you leave it for about 30-40 sec, it will eventually continue. Or boot you out of the App Store and you have to start all over again. Been like this since June, everytime I go to the App Store. Could be first thing in the morning to 3am, makes no difference what time you go on, it always lags. Does it both on wifi and 3G. Note though, accessing the internet on the iPhone isn't laggy. I would have thought about updating to 4.3.5, but heard that didn't resolve anything. And since iOS 5 is around the corner as with the iPhone 5, I'm just grinning and bearing. As what a lot of iPhone users have been doing as of late. I really do hope that the transition to iOS 5 goes much, much smoother than it did for iOS 4.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

Can not open the app store on my mac since new update

can not open the app store on my mac since new update

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

App store seems very slow

App store seems very slow on my MacBook Pro. If I turn off Keychain->Preferences->Certificates->CRL then it runs normally, but leaving this off might be a bad idea for security reasons. Is there a better solution?

If you have any third (application enhancers) apps such as Little Snitch or anti virus software installed, that could be why the App Store runs slow for you.

APP Store Icon indicator - What is New?

when i get an indicator on the app store icon that something is new, i open the app and nothing is specific about what is new. i want to get rid of the indicator or look at the offering. I can't if i don't know what is new ... how does this work?

It isn't indicating something new, it is indicating that there is a update for an app on your Mac and it should be listed in the Updates pane.

Yosemite running very slowly on new MacBook Pro

I just bought a new 13" MacBook Pro (not Retina) last month. When I set it up I copied the data and apps from my 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard. When I try to open apps such as Safari or jEdit or Adobe Reader or NeoOffice it seems to wait forever (or at least 30 seconds) to open them. I thought this would be faster than Snow Leopard, but it's not!
Should I just back this all up with my SuperDuper and start over?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that the current version of OS X always needs to more than 4 GB of memory to run well. The myth is based on nothing except the fact that some people keep repeating it. Apple is today selling new Macs with 4 GB of memory that can never be upgraded after they leave the factory. Those Macs come with Yosemite preinstalled, and it can never be downgraded to an older version. So if you were to believe the myth, you would also believe that Apple knows that it's selling products that are permanently crippled right out of the box, no matter how they're used. Read this discussion before you spend money on memory that you may not need.
Some users do need more than 4 GB of memory for full performance. They are running memory-intensive applications, such as photo or video editors, or they're running many programs concurrently, or they have more than one account logged in at the same time. Whether you're one of those users can be determined, in part, by observing the level of memory pressure in the Memory tab of the Activity Monitor window. If the memory pressure graph always stays in the green zone, then a shortage of memory is not causing the problem.
Even if memory pressure is high, that doesn't necessarily mean that adding more memory will help. If one or more processes has a memory leak—a kind of bug—then adding memory, no matter how much, won't help. It will merely delay the onset of the problem, perhaps only by a few minutes or less. That is very likely the case if you already have more than 4 GB.

Mac App Store is able to download new apps but not update old ones

Well title says it all. I am able to download new apps (just bought GTA: Vice City to try) but when I hit update it says
I updated my laptop to mountain lion this morning and everything works except softweare updates. I can not use iPhoto because it needs an update but as you can see I am not able to
This is very irritating, anyone have any idea?
Things I have already tried:
Deleting app store cache
Deleting app store cookie
signing out and then back in

Put the app in the Trash and try to download it again. It should give you the up-to-date version. If it works, then you can empty the Trash.

It will load a game from Facebook, but is moving very slowly. My adobe is updated, but still moving slowly

When I am logged into Facebook and am attempting to play a game. It will load up the game, but to perform actions within the game it will either not do them at all or will perform them very delayed, like 10 minutes sometimes. I have updated my adobe flash, but this is still moving SLOW!!!!!

Hey TheDomesticBlonde,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the computer is running very slowly and is freezing a lot. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
OS X Yosemite: If your Mac runs slowly
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, move files to another disk, then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk.
Quit any apps you’re not using.
If you have problems with your disk, use Disk Utility to verify and try and fix any issues.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

HT204266 My app store will let me download new apps but when I go to the 'update' section it says it cannot connect to the iTunes store. Does anybody know why?

My apps will no longer update as the page will not load, I really don't understand why this is as the rest of the app store works perfectly.

Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;
https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action
Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.
