App Store updates won't download after selecting the 'Update" button.

I received a notification that I had a couple of updates on the App Store. I'm running 10.6.8 on an Early 2009 iMac 9,1. After entering my account information I selected the "update" button for both apps. The button fades to indicate it has been selected and the spinning circle of dashes begins....but then nothing. I have tried multiple solutions. I have rebooted my cable modem. Restarted the machine. Checked my bandwidth to verify connectivity and all is good on my end. Any idea what is preventing the download process?
Thanks in advance.

A firewall?

  • Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

    Hey,
    Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
    Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
    I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
    Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

  • I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Could you please help

    I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button besides each app, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Is there any setting that missed ?  please help...

    What do you see instead of update on the apps you are concerned about?
    When updating to iOS 7 auto update for apps will be turned on. When an app has an update available your iPad will download and install the update with no input from you. Apps that have been updated by this automatic process but which have not yet been opened will show a blue dot before their name.
    A record of updated apps is kept for your convenience. You can see this record by using the App Store app and select Updates, the right most choice in the bottom row.

  • I have an update for iPhoto in App store which won't download or clear from the App store

    I have tried several times to update from iphoto 9.1.3 .  The update in the App store is 9.4.3.
    Every time I try I get 'cannot update as you already have this update.  Although I don't.
    Also I cannot delete the update in the store.  Help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have any external drives plugged, unplug them. Then, open App Store and check for updates again.
    I recommend you to delete iPhoto from your Mac and reinstall it again, so go to the folder where you have iPhoto (normally, the Applications folder) and delete it. Then, if you purchased iPhoto from the App Store, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto. The version you will have is 9.4.3.
    If you purchased iPhoto on a DVD, insert the DVD and install iPhoto. Finally, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version

  • App store game won't download

    I bought a game in the app store (Lego Harry Potter years 1-4) and was charged for it, and while it was downloading I got the message "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." and it wont download any more

    Hi..
    Install the appropriate combo update...
    If you are running v10.6, Snow Leopard:  install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    If you are running v10.7, Lion:  install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. Try re downloading the app.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    The combo update worked for the same topic here   >  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2710174?start=15&tstart=0

  • TS1424 App Store purchase won't download

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the App store, and when I try to download it, I get "an error occurred" message. It won't download but I've been charged for it. I've contacted Adobe but they said I have to contact iTunes. I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.4. Any suggestions?

  • App store purchase won't open after HD transfer

    My old Macbook Pro finally died with logic-board problems and wasn't worth repairing so in a pinch and while waiting for a new customised rMBP to arrive I picked up the same old MBP 2nd hand v. cheap and just physically swapped the drive over. It all works absolutely as expected including iTunes etc EXCEPT one app purchased from the App Store. I get the dialog saying this app was purchased on another computer and complete the Apple ID and password correctly but the app simply doesn't open. Nothing happens. I know the password is correct as a deliberate wrong password gives an error dialog. Only 3 of the 5 authorisations have been used too so not sure what to do.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
