App store wont download anything

Hello, I have been trying for 3 days now to resolve this issue and am still no nearer to a solution.
I have just recently become the owner of a Mackbook Pro 3.1 which came installed with leopard 10.5 .
I then purchased snow leopard and installed from disc and upgraded to 10.6.8.
I then wanted to upgrade to Yosemite but the app store will not let me.
It seems I cannot install any app from there at all.
I click on the grey button "get" which then turns into a green "install app" button but clicking it does absolutely nothing.
I have tried free and paid apps and neither of them do anything when I click the button to download them.
Ive tried countless different ways and still nothing seems to happen.
If anyone can help here it would be very greatly appreciated.
Thankyou

There are problems with Apple's servers which they are working to fix. Until then be patient and keep trying.

Mac app store wont download anything

I recently tried to download an app, and when I hit the button get it would switch to install app.
When I click on install app then nothing happens it just stays the same.
I also tried downloading the OS X Yosemite but the same thing happened!
I tried seeing if there was maybe a new version of the app store that i needed to download but I dont think so.
I also tried quit the app store and turning it on again and also turning my computer off and on again to see if that helped but it didn't.

What exactly are you trying to download? Is it an app or OS upgrade you purchased or ?

Mac app store wont download

I can purchase from the Mac App Store just fine, but downloading doesn't seem to happen. This is also true of my 'already purchased' apps. I click 'Instal', I get the spinning wheel by the back buttons in the upper left, and then nothing.
I have tried deleting the .plist and the caches, and it hasn't done anything.
I've seen this question asked and 'solved', but none of the work-arounds or fixes seem to work. Outside of a fresh install, can anyone help? Thank you for your time!

Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, and MacKeeper can prevent apps from downloading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall

App store wont let me access account or download or sign out

Whatever I try to do, app store wont let me do it.
I want to download Mountain Lion, however all the account options seem to be light grey, and nothing I do will let me into my account on there, or download new things. When I go onto purchased, it says I need to sign in but when I click on store on the banner at top, it says I am signed in but when click sign out nothing happens. Driving me mad.
Thanks.

Apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Message: "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on"

Trying to install 10.7 (from 10.6.8) on Mac Mini server 4,1. I don't use it as a server, and don't know anything about that.I get a message "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on" check download at App store. There is none. Help?
Mac Mini Server 4.1/2.66 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/8 GB Memory

Ran into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.
So I thought I would try downloading it on another computer with Lion. That didn't work either. As soon as it finished download it installed and deleted the installer.
What a pain.
If you can start from scratch, you should be able to rename the file, do the Lion install then after the Lion install rename it back. Then do the server install. I'm not sure what that will do to existing server configs though. There must be some reason Apple set up the Lion installer this way.
Oh, now I can't reboot into my existing OS. It keeps rebooting into the installer. Tried the option key and both options are named something like base os. Neither boots my existing Snow Leopard. Gonna have to get an external DVD drive and install from scratch I think. Luckily this is a new server not in production, so not a big deal. I hope people with production machines read the boards and tread carefully.
