App store not working properly a new hard drive in iMac

Hey guys,
         My seagate hard drive crashed, so had to get a new hard drive in intel late 2009 iMac. When I go to app store, it is acting weird. Some of the programs it says I have installed are not installed on my computer. So I am unable to download them. Also I am unable to update garageband, imovie and iphoto. No clue what needs to be done. Hope spmepme has a answer.
Thanks Philip

Try resetting the App Store.
Reset       Learned from Old Toad
and
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.

  • Cannot get into iTunes and app store on my mac after new hard drive instillation

    i had a new hard drive put into my mac recently, and since then i have not been able to access the app store or iTunes on my mac, which will also not allow me to sync my phone to it anymore as it is now not authorized to do such. I have contacted apple support, reinstalled the OS, and have enabled 2 step verification to verify my mac as a device, yet still will not work, is there any other way to fix this?

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    OS X: "Cannot connect" or "Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required"

  • App Store not working properly after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite. I checked the App Store's icon to see that I have 6 updates. I launched the App Store and this was my window:
    This is my Purchases tab (although I am signed in):
    And this is my Updates tab (Although it says 6 updates. They should be iWork and the other new Yosemite updates.):
    When I click on Store -> "View my account", it keeps on asking me to sign in forever.
    Also when I click on "iCloud" in preferences, I get this error which I think is related:
    I tried restarting my mac several times. I tried quitting the storeagent from the Activity Log. But it's still the same.

    I am having the same problem since downloading ios6
    Almost wish I hadn't

  • Touchsceen will not work after installing new hard drive

    Hello,
    My HP TouchSmart 520 - 1047 c PC's hard drive crashed this week.  I went out and purchased a new one, installed it, loaded my Windows 8 Pro disc in, and got it back working.  The only issue so far is that my touchscreen will not work.  HP support says it's a hardware issue and was no help. 
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

    My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
    I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

    If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    Here is again the short version:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > GO    hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
    In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
    Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
    The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.
    Regards

  • Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)

    Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)
    I was at my friends house, everything was working fine. I went to my girlfriends house, everything was still working fine. Then once I got home, I got back out my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" to use and some pages on the internet looked a little odd. They were all in HTML format and wouldn't go back (Pages such as Skype and Apple's main page). I thought they were just down or being fixed up, but then I went to update my Mac under the App Store. I clicked the App store and a message popped up saying "App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store." The options were "Cancel" or "Continue". I clicked "Continue" so I could update my Mac, but weird enough, the App Store started flickering (strobing; blinking) as seen in this video by someone with the same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8aQZccRvA
    I do not know what to do or why this is happening, so help would be VERY nice.

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    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 (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this a factor?

    Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

  • App Store not working 10.6.8

    I'm trying to start with a clean slate on my 2008 Macbook Pro.
    I installed a new hard drive today and booted with my Snow Leopard disk, then I did the software update to get to version 10.6.8. I am now trying to install Yosemite, and I have access to the App Store, but none of the download links work. When I click "Get" nothing happens. I previously had Mavericks installed on this Mac, so it should not be a hardware issue. Does anyone know how to fix my App store or a workaround to get Yosemite?
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz

    Hmmm... I've been trying since Wednesday night also.
    My Software update also shows there are no updates with 10.6.8 running. I'm signed the App Store etc. My hardware is definitely compatible since I already had Yosemite installed before the HDD swap.

  • TS1702 When I update to IOS6 on my 4S Facebook does not work properly, the news feed never updates it only says no new storeys and shows a picture of an antenna. When I reset my phone and go back to IOS5 Facebook works fine. What's up with IOS6 ????

    When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly

    No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.

  • App Store not working?

    App Store not working

    FYI.  Super annoying that I had to do this, but I factory reset my phone and set it up as a new phone and that solved the problem.  That is a little less of a pain for me since I have all my contacts sync'd with gmail so they all just pop back up when I add that account on my phone.
    App store working like a champ for now.

  • Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

    After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can  come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

    Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
    I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.
