    Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post.  I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

  • Why won't the App Store let me download Mountain Lion even though my system meets the requirements?

  • Cannot access App Store after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hi all - hope someone can help. I have a new Macbook Air and upgraded recently to Mountain Lion. Since then I cannot access the App Store. Error message is
    'Cannot verify a secure connection to App Store, continue? ' If I continue a series of flashing pages occurs. I have tried changing the date as some responses suggest but nothing seems to work. I would be so grateful to fix this as I am keen to download final cut pro x to my new machine.
    All help gratefully received

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • App Store not showing OSX Mountain Lion as already purchased.

    I previously purchased OSX Mountain Lion and now need to redownload the installer. When I go to the App Store, Mountain Lion shows as needing to be purchased again. What is going on?

    If you have made purchases in the past, but do not show any purchases on the Purchases pane, then you are likely not signed into your account. You sign in and out of your account in the Store pulldown menu of the Mac App Store toolbar.
    If you don't see View Hidden Purchases you haven't hidden any.

  • Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    I downloaded through the App Store Mountain Lion. Everything is working great except that the App Store app. I keep getting "Cannot connect to the App Store" error message. Is it possible that it's still too much traffic on the servers or a bug in Mountain Lion? App Store worked fine before obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Mountain Lion. I tried trashing the plist and cache.db several times and still no go. Anybody else have this problem? Help!

    This seems to be a bug in the OS. After days looking for an answer, I found one that will probably help those of you that, like me, tried just about everything else that has been suggested in the forums:
    http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
    I came back to this forum, being one of the latest dealing with this issue, to share this. If it works for you then please do what I did and share it in some other forum on this issue to spread the word.
    Apple please fix this bug in the OS !!!

  • Cannot connect to app store to buy OX X lion.  Tried all suggested fixes.

    How can I buy Lion when I can't connect and buy using the App Store app in dock?

    The only way is through the App Store. If your wireless isn't working, try using an ethernet cable to directly connect to your computer, or look online for some ways to get your wireless working again.

  • HT1338 Mac App Store will not install Mountain Lion update

    I am having an issue where I try to install the 10.8.4 update from the Mac App Store.  I click on the button and it says it needs to restart to install.  I tell it to restart and install but it does nothing.  I get the Mac App store back with it asking me to install the update again.  Looking at the infobox I see that I am still on 10.8.3.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

  • App Store, tried to download Mountain Lion to a MacBk Pro running 10.6.8 nothing happened., App Store, tried to download Mountain Lion to a MacBk Pro running 10.6.8 nothing happened.

    Have a MacBook Pro4,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Went to the App Store to download Mountain Lion. A quick spin of the gear, then it stopped. Nothing more will happen despite several tries. Of course I put in my iTunes password when prompted. Specs say this should be possible, but there are no error messages. Why?  There's plenty of room on the hard drive.
    Any ideas?

    Patience, little grasshopper! It is a 4.5GB monster floating down the wire. Even with my office's Gbps link, it takes over 40 minutes.
    BTW, if you don't want to have to wait again, there's a trick for saving the installer and even concocting your full Cat Installer on a Stick. See here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20080989-263/how-to-create-an-os-x-lion-ins tallation-disc/?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=MacFixIt and rather than burning an obsolete DVD, use this instead: http://liondiskmaker.com
    Note that once the install process concludes, the installer will be erased from the local drive.

  • Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store  to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

    Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store.  I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store"  or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

    Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. How can I retrieve my photos without buying iPhoto?

    Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.

    I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
    The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
    Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
    Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
    But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.
