App store won't open after upgrading to Maverick

After upgrading to Maverick I cannot launch the app store. When clicking on the icon it shows 6 updates but will not open. Anyone else with this problem?

Hi gabbycallaghan,
If you are unable to load the Mac App Store after updating to Yosemite, you may want to see if you can access the iTunes Store and/or try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article, as access issues can often affect both stores:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

App Store Won't Open After Mavericks Install :(

Since installing Mavericks my App Store won't open. I click and it bounces one time then....nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I discovered this when I noticed that Image Preview won't open. I thought that there was an update for it so I went to the app store to see and discovered it won't open either!

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

App store won't open after installing OS 10.9.2

I installed OS 10.9.2 and now my app store won't open. When I launch it from the dock, the icon bounces and the light illuminates beneath the icon indicating that it is running however no screen ever pops up. I launched the app store from the applications page and the same thing happened. I tried restarting the computer and holding the shift key upon reboot but this did nothing as well. This is incredibly annoying.

Are you getting the menu bar at the top?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

App store won't open after running time machine reinstall

my HD crashed last week, got it replaced and just got my iMac back (20" intel). I ran a restore from my Time Machine backup from before the crash (took forever, but finished).
All looked fine but I found two problems...
1) Safari would crash without opening. I fixed that by just downloading and reinstalling Safari.
2) the App store does the same thing. the icon jumps a few times and then just stops and won't open. Unfortunately, it's part of the OS and it doesn't seem Apple allows direct downloads of the App Store app. I'm current on my OS so I'm not sure how to fix this problem.
Again, summary, restore from Time Machine, App Store won't open, OS is up-to-date. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

IBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, won't open after Mavericks install/update

Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

Mac App Store Won't Work After Upgrading HDD

I'm on a Macbook Pro 2011. I had Mavricks. I downgraded my OS because I had hardware that wouldn't work with Mavricks. I also upgraded my HDD. I tried to open Mac App store but it won't open. The icon will appear on my dock and the App Store title bar appears, but all the opions in the menu are greyed out and not clickable.

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 by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Iphoto won't open after upgrading to mavericks

I just bought my macbook air from a pawn store a few days ago. I just got the OS X upgrade to finish after upgrading itunes, iphoto, safari, etc. Now when I tried to open iPhoto it said I need to upgrade. When I go to the App Store and click update all, I get the following message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
does this mean I can't open the photos I've uploaded or load any new ones? I bought this laptop for school and I'm honestly not a computer guy so this is extremely frustrating and I'm seriously considering just taking this back before my 30 day return window closes because this is nuts.

The iPhoto on that machine belongs to the guy who hocked the machine. If you don't have his ID you'll need to buy iPhoto for yourself.

Mail won't open after upgrading to Mavericks

I upgraded to mavericks and now mail won't launch or open. It gives an error message: "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?:
When I try to reopen it comes back to the same error message. How do I fix this?

Try restoring Mail from a Time Machine backup prior to the Mavericks upgrade.
Hold down the Option key and pull down Go to Library.
Enter Time Machine.
Select a date and time.
Select Mail.
Restore.

Applications won't open after upgrade to mavericks

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. That went OK. But afterwards some aplications and drivers don't work. For example, when I try to open the driver for my HP flatbed scanner 7400c, it says "you can't open because it may be damaged or incomplete". When I try to open Adobe Acrobat Pro, it says "it can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer(!)", if I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS2, it says "you can't open because Power PC appications are not supported". All these items worked just fine with Snow Leopard. Can anyone advise why this is happening and if there is anything I can do to regain access to these applications. I don't want to upgrade the Adobe apps, because I don't use them enough to justify the cost, and there are no new drivers for the HP scanner... it's old enough that HP has discontinued maintenance on it.

Or, in addition to Eric's knowledgeable information: partition your hard drive (or add an external drive) and install Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta checked; and, IMHO, Quicktime 7, too) into it and use the "dual-boot" system to switch between Snow Leopard and Mavericks as needed.
Here is a recent post I assembled that describes your situation in more detail:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
4. Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753). This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.

Your HP driver issue may be a bit more complex. Try Apple's free Image Capture application. Also, research HP support forum. Quite honestly, when my HP scanner/printer died and HP told me "tough luck; we'll give you a discount on a new one," I purchased an Epson all-in-one instead!
