App store refuses to download small apps
App store refuses to download small sized apps , when i try to download a small sized app the app store gives me the following message "xxx failed to download , use purchase to try again " and when i go to the purchase page and try to re-download the same message appears again , but with large sized apps like 15 mb or more everything works fine , please help me to resolve this issue i have tried to clear temporary file and logging out and back into the store and i have the latest version of iTunes and my os x version is 10.8.5
Try the following option:
Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
Quit the App Store
In Finder, under Go in the Menu bar select Go to folder...
Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
It will take you to your User's Library/Caches folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
Launch the App Store.
Thanks to Eric Root for these steps.
If this fails, contact Apple:

Mac app store error when downloading small apps
The mac app store fails to download any app that is 1-7 mb in size. But it works fine with large app downloads
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
I payed for two movies through iTunes store on my computer, after they were ready to be transfered to the iTouch from my
rental library, only one successfully went through. The other film completely disregarded the attempt to show even a 'loading' bar.no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

Hi. i got my Mini and replaced my HDD for a hybrid SSD. did a internet recovery install or lion. once installed i clicked on the app store. and it asked me to verify and link the 3 ilife apps to my account. i entered my details and all went well. i then was taken to the update page. but app store refuses to download the updates saying the products are not linked to my id!!! when i go back to purchases tab. it says i have no purchased apps at all.
what can i do please? i cant even work out who to contact about this.
many thanks
JamesHi James,
Does it list Lion as purchased?
If not go to the main page and look on the right to make sure you are logged in:
If you are logged in and not seeing any purchases then the next option is the Support button - this will launch a new browser window and one of the Contact Support options is Account and billing.
It's all very new so that is the best I can come up with at the moment
Regards,
Colin R.

PS Did you originally buy the iLife apps through the Mac App Store? -
Pages downloaded from the App-store refuses to save: Permission denied. How can I download a new one? Please Advice .
Is the computer yours, and are you the Administrator or a user with administrator rights? Are you allowed to install software on the computer?
Check your "purchased" list. Pages should show there, and if it's not installed it should read "install" next to it.
Have you tried another mac? You can install the purchased software on another Mac by using your AppleID that you purchased the software with on the first mac.

my ipod is refuseing to download apps for no apparent reason restrictions are off latest ios is on there but i cant press the buy/download button in app store
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem. -
own iMovie, want to buy another imovie for the church computer, App store refuses to sell it to me because I already have iMovie. What to do?

sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.
Quiet simple ... and cheap. And convenient.- -

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

An app I purchased and downloaded directly to my Ipad is missing and not in my app files on my PC. When I go to the app store to re-download it I can not and the app says I have already downloaded it. How do I get my app back?
You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading
Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store
i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.
