App store won't start

My app store tells me I have two updates, but when I open it, it just freezes. Once I got as far as clicking on the update icon, but then the wheel in the top left just kept turning for an hour. Now all I get when I open the App Store is a big blank that doesn't respond to anything.
Help, please.

Try now or later. The App Store, iTunes, and other Apple areas were out of service most of today (11 Mar). They are now back up.

  • Terminal, Preview and App Store won't start? Please help

    Yesterday after installing "Clean up my Mac" software, I have noticed that Preview doesn't work anymore. At the same time "Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks" was installed. Today I also noticed that Terminal and App Store won't work.
    How can I recover these programs?

    Just tried that. I signed out and then tried to sign back in. It gave me the pop up box for user name and password then after entered that info it came up with a pop up saying the same thing." Cannot connect to iTunes Store "

  • App Store won't start download the OS X Yosemite free upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch mid 2012. My current MacOS is OS X 10.6.8.
    I didn't get to upgrade to OS X 10.9 when there was the free upgrade because I forgot to download it.
    Now I want to download the OS X 10.10 but when I click the "Get" button or "Free Upgrade" button, the license agreement won't come out and the download won't start. It just stay the same even after I clicked the button.
    What should I do?

    I am having the same problem. I have a 15" MBP from mid-2010 running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    All updates have been applied.
    When I go to the App Store, locate Yosemite and click on "download", nothing happens.
    As an experiment, I tried installing other free apps from the App Store - I tried Kindle and
    Memory Clean. Same issue - I click on "Install" and nothing happens.
    Still digging - open to advice.
    Thanks

    I suspect that many developers are ending app support for older devices.  It's probably time for an upgrade.
    While that may be true... it's simply a mis-informed response at this time.
    The iPhone 4 and 3GS are both still fully supported, as is the 3G.
    If you have nothing useful to add, it is generally best to not comment.
    To the OP:
    Does the device have a functional Internet connection, either Cellular data or Wi-Fi?
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • App store won't start in OS 10.10.3

    I have googled for answers to fix this. However they all refer to 10.6 and are old. I think I might have thrown some files away that were crucial for the app store to work. So my best option (I think) is to reinstall the app store, for which I can't find any information at all.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Jedi Knight II from Mac App Store won't start on 10.8. Suggestions?

    About a week ago, I purchased Jedi Knight II from the Mac App Store despite already having a copy purchased years ago when it first became available for the Mac.  Naturally, I figured that with a high percentage of people using Lion and Mountain Lion, if there were a problem with this game, it would probable not remain on the app store.  I downloaded it and attempted to launch.  The screen where you choose if you want to play Windowed or Full Screen popped up just fine and I chose Full Screen.  I waited a while and nothing happened.  I attempted to choose something from the related menues that popped up and all I got was the spinning beach ball.  When I opened the "Force Quit Applications" screen, it said the app was not responding.  This is what I have gotten consistantly every time I have tried it.  I figured that before I go to apple to request a refund, I would ask if anyone has had this issue and if you were able to resolve it. 
    Thanks,
    Marc G

    Create a new user test account on your machine. See if you can play it from there without difficulty.

    Hey Duddy1888,
    Thanks for the question. Try changing your payment information to “None”. If you are unable to select “None” as a payment option, see the following resource:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
    Additional Information:

  • My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.

    My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • App store won't update any apps

    I noticed a while ago I had updates for some apps through the app store so set them all to update. Now it is maybe 3/4 weeks later and everything has frozen and I don't know how to fix it - I can't open or use many of my apps due to this. A couple of the apps do say "downloading" but they have been at this same stage for a while now. My app store won't even open anymore and I just get the little refresh symbol no matter how long I leave it for. Can anyone help? I've added some pictures so you can see what's happening.

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Sometimes the cause of the problem may be an outage in Apple's network, in which case none of the steps below will have any effect. You just have to wait for the outage to be fixed. That should rarely, if ever, take more than a few hours.
    Step 1
    Sign in to the App Store by selecting Sign In from the Store menu. If you're already signed in, sign out and then sign in again.
    Step 2
    Log out or restart the computer.
    Step 3
    Remove or disable "LittleSnitch" or any similar third-party software that blocks outgoing network connections according to the developer's instructions.
    Step 4
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode.)
    Step 5
    If possible, connect to a different network and test.
    Step 6
    There are reports that resetting the PRAM may solve the problem in some cases. I can't confirm.

  • App store won't open on my ipad?  Any ideas?

    app store won't open on my ipad? I've tried everything suggested by Apple Support but still no luck.  Any other ideas??

    What have you tried ? e.g.
    - closing the app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar
    - logging out and back into your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    - a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My mac app store won't load and when click it nothing happens happens

    my mac app store won't load and when you click it nothing happens...it was okay for the past months but now i don;t know why it won't open...please help...

    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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • App Store won't load when using our wifi

    App Store won't load when using wifi

    So I'm having this problem with my Ipod 5th gen. I tried absolutely everything but the router suggestions. Mainly because this problem isn't just at home, it's everywhere. I can connect to every free wifi or pass-worded wifi (with the correct password) just fine. But I can't access the internet or apps using the internet at all. Full signal like everyone else. Just no results. Took every tip in this forum and nothing has worked. Even tried deleting the apps that weren't working and re-installing just to make sure it wasn't just a crappy connections with the internet. NOTHING! Someone please help? I'm starting to think it might just be the antenna or the fact that it's about 2 years old and kind of abused. It's been working up until I recovered it after 2 1/2 months of being last in the mix of pants that were packed away. Didn't get washed or anything just had the battery die while it was sitting there. Found it yesterday and starting today I can't access Safari, Youtube, the App Store, or anything else that requires an internet connection. What should I do? Should I take it in to the Apple Store and get it checked out? Or is there something I can do by myself?

  • Help! I have been using Mountain Lion but Finder and the App Store won't load and keeps crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

    Help please! I have been using Mountain Lion for a few weeks but Finder, System Prefferences and the App Store won't load and/or keep crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?
    Model Identifier:     MacBookPro8,1
    Processor Name:     Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed:     2.7 GHz
    Number of Processors:     1
    Total Number of Cores:     2
    L2 Cache (per Core):     256 KB

    Memory:     8 GB
    Boot ROM Version:     MBP81.0047.B27
    SMC Version (system):     1.68f99

    You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network.  Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark.  You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x.  If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
    First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network".  Then turn WiFi off.  Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information.  If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
    In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music.  Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.
