App Store not launching, please help.

I have just bought a new imac (i7) and have migrated all my stuff from my Mac Book Pro (i7)
All seems to be working fine but I am unable to use App Store.
The Icon tells me there is three updates but when I try to launch it keeps quiting or just fails to launch.
Works fine on all my other devices.
Cheers for any ideas?

Hi Linc
Thanks for the pointer.
I think it was probably an earlier discussion on the same subject that you recommended a safe boot.
It did the trick.
Cheers

  • "one moment, connecting to itunes" "app store temporarily unavailable" Please help:(

    I try to access the Mac app store the same message appears "one moment, connecting to itunes" (image below) but it never connects. If I press the update tab on the screen a massage appears that says "app store temporarily unavailable" Please help:(

    My son is also getting this exact message on both our new laptop with Vista and the older desktop with XP. I am NOT having this problem on either machine. He has 18 downloads waiting and can't download them.
    I have checked firewall settings, pop up blockers, outdated account info, and msconfig. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and still am having this problem with his account.
    I also tried logging into his user account on both the laptop and the pc and then logged him out of itunes and then logged myself in to see if it was the installation. I had NO problems. I then turned that around and logged into my user account on both the laptop and pc and then tried to log him into MY installation of itunes, but OOPS, got the error message again.
    This has been going on for months and appears to be arbitrary. Sometimes a song will download, but sometimes another won't. He bought an album and only some of the songs downloaded. The others are "waiting to be downloaded" and when we try to "Check for Purchases", he still gets the message, even though he's IN THE STORE!

    Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
    I just finished another "experiment".
    I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
    So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
    So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
    What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
    Thanks

    All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
    Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
    If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
    Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

    Since you have used an IP in the EM's URL, there can be one more possibility besides this that the EM service has been stopped(as suggested by others already) . It may be a reason that EM  service is not up because the IP address has been changed due to a machine reboot. As 9/10 times, the IP addresses are assigned via DHCP  on home laptops and desktops, if this IP address is no longer there, the EM service won't be up. But before we shall come to know about this that whether this is indeed the reason, try the command-emctl status dbconsole and if it says, not running EM, emctl start dbconsole. Post the output of the commands.

  • Safari Will NOT Launch- Please help!

    Hi- I have a clean install Leopard (all updates too) on my new Macbook Pro. Just started today:
    When I click on Safari the dot underneath the Safari on the dock shows and Safari shows at the top (menus), but no window comes up and when I put my mouse cursor at the top where the menus are, I get the beachball. When I right-click Safari, it shows "application not responding"

    Please help! Thank you!

    You have to be a little more careful in the Terminal as spelling errors might actually spell disaster (like removing your whole home folder).
    But if you want to have a play around and learn some useful commands, then I recommend CLIX:

    If you ignore the slightly holier-than-thou attitude (he is very derogatory about some very good maintenance apps) it is very useful for learning under-the-hood stuff.

  • TS1702 My "Passbook" app won't connect to the App Store...please help!

    I just downloaded iOS6 and am trying to set up my Passbook app. When I try to connect to the App Store throught the Passbook app, I'm getting the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I'm trying to figure out how to resolve this issue but can't figure it out...please help!

    As it says in other threads:
    Go to Settings, Date and Time. Turn off automatic and choose Set Date and Time. Change the year to 2013. Go to Passbook and touch the App Store button. Once it connects to the store, go back to Settings, Date and Time, and turn Automatic back on. It will work from this point onward!

  • Weird Problem trying to sign into my App Store Account ?  Please Help !!

    Im having a very weird problem trying to sign into my App store account to update my apps and to purchase new Apps. Ive tried to search the net but I cant seem to solve my problem.
    Here is whats happening
    My Email address is correct in my iTunes Account and also my App Store account. (which is basically the same anyway)
    The problem I am having Is that when I try to download an App my old email address still shows up when it requests my password.
    The weird part is that my email address is correct in my itunes and also at the bottom of my app store. Yet my old email is showing up when I try to sign into the App store.
    Here are the steps Ive taken already to fix this problem and have failed.
    I have signed out of my itunes and app store and signed back in..FAILED.
    I went into my setting -STORE and signed out and back in..FAILED.
    I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
    PLEASE HELP !!!

    I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
    Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. Were these apps purchased using your old account details?

  • Safari, App store not opening. Help!

    Just installed Lion. Safari and app store do not open. They just bounce.
    Software update doesn't open. App store in iTunes does not open. Help.

    Try creating a new user account (System Preferences > Users & Groups) and see if they work in the new account. If they do, the problem is most likely limited to your account (corrupted preference files perhaps). If they don't, it is probably something with your install.

  • My text messaging app is not working PLEASE HELP!!!

    My text messaging app is not working at all is a blank screen when I open it! Help!!!

    No its a well known bug with iphones caused by their over complication of things and their complacency that their users will buy the phones on looks alone irrespective of its basic functionality.
    Suggestion 1 - The most common suggested solution seems to be: iMessage needs switched off on all your devices and switched back on after a rest. I found that this did NOT work.
    Suggestion 2 - Having a Wi Fi Signal seems to confuse iMessage to send an SMS as a text or as an iMessage. Turn off WiFi on your phone and manually send as text message. Slow, I lnow!!
    Suggestion 3 - Move away from any wifi source ie out of range.
    Suggestion 4 - Send an email, or a letter. Its more personal!!
    20 Minutes later - still not sent 2 short texts.
    Apple are very complacent and disdainful of their user community. Not what Id expect but this is a global corporation with the same business ethics as an Oil company or a car company. Profit not function.

  • PSE 8 Editor will not launch-Please HELP!

    I purchased PSE 8 and installed it to my computer, which meets all system requirements.
    After everything was installed, I opened and Adobe ID account. When the welcome screen appears and I click on "Edit" the screen says "Launching Editor" for about 3 seconds, stops, and then nothing happens. I read the "Read Me" section that comes with the software and it mentions a problem with the Editor Launcher having trouble initializing. The instructions are to click "Edit" from the welcome screen, then click SHIFT+ALT+CTRL (or whatever order, I've tried everything) and then click "YES" for rebuilding editor launching preferences. Well, when I click "Edit" and SHIFT+ALT+CTRL, NOTHING happens!!!! I don't get any kind of response.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled... I am so frustrated. I have used PSE 3 in the past and have never had any trouble. I have already wasted 2 hours on this program and I haven't even used it!
    Please help me,
    MarieAntoinette1234  (And my screen name sucks!)

    Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash.   Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

  • I get update notifications on my iPad but cannot see them in the App Store...please help

    When I click on the App Store...there are no updates available.  When I get out of the App Store.  The notifications are still there.

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting the same problem - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end whih they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.
