Imovie 9.0.8 app update downloads, then hangs

When I try to update my iMovie to 9.0.8, the file downloads (1.08GB) and just as the very last bit is downloaded, the download hangs. I don't know why or what is preventing the update from installing.

I am an IT professional, my home network logs in securely and the issue is not with the user logon, it is to do with the update of the software via app store.
Imovie software will not update via my wifes itunes account, nor via my itunes account. this was used to update to mountain lion. There are no other accounts available to try ? so why does itunes app state i need another account?

Ipad2 app update download problem

I started an app update download, then was prompted to connect to wifi due to size of download, wifi is currently unavailable. So I want to use the existing ver of app but app icon states "loading". How do I reset app to be able to use it in it's current version?

Don't think you can - it's started its update process now so I think you will need to finish the update before you can use the app again.

Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

Hi,
I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
This drives me crazy...please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien.

I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:

*Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8 Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

HT204266 The APP update request came for 4 apps. I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps. How do I fix this?

Two other things to try -
Power your iPad off for a minute and then back on again.
Double tap the Home button, locate the updating apps (one by one) in the bottom task bar, press on it until the red minus sign comes up and click it. Repeat for the remaining apps. Try the updates again but do them one by one rather than Update All.

The app store keeps popping up (with an app to download) while using other apps. It is getting incredibly annoying. I am currently using the QR reader app. How do I get it to stop?

you can try a soft reset, or u can try to turn it off and then back on. Or take it to the apple store and see what they say about it. Hope this helps

Premier pro cc trail not in the list of apps to download on the cloud app

premier pro cc trail not in the list of apps to download on the cloud app. why?

Probably because your system isn't meeting the minimum requirements. The app wont list programs that wont run on your system. See this link : http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html

With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

Since loading 7.0.2 i can not purchase apps on my iPhone 4S. Previously installed apps update, and I can purchase apps on other devices. Any ideas?

Mine's much worst - can't send nor receive emails from Yahoo and Gmail. It simply won't connect. Gmail first gives an error about the SSL and to try again without it. But, it still won't connect. Yahoo on the other hand keeps on saying that the apple.imap server is not responding no matter what settings I change. It really does seem that there's something wrong on their end, however, it seems selective.
This is on top of the fact that all of my contacts were erased and the Personal Hotspot disappears intermittently.
By the way, I came from 4.2. I updated my wife's from 4.1 and her's is just peachy.

Unable to update apps or download next segment of app game

Hello,
I am unable to Update All or even separately update any of my apps from the App Store. When I click on Update All, I give it my password then briefly see the blue update circle but then it goes right back to "Update". I've tried signing out of the App Store, doing a hard reset, then signing back into the App Store and that didn't fix it. Any thoughts?
As a side note, I tried purchasing the next levels of an app game and I get an error saying the game was used under a different Apple ID. I have recently reset my password but don't recall ever creating separate IDs. How do I find out if I have others out there or which ID a specific app is tied to?
Thanks,
Anne

Update:
Only thing left that I can think of - repair disk permissions on the drive that stores iTunes run files and repair disk on the external that holds the library content. Repair of permissions reports (ACL missing on “Applications/iTunes.app”) but also that the ACL has been fixed. So I try my iTunes tasks again (mainly the app updates) and on first run iTunes says unable to download, file with duplicate name exists. I don't know what the **** it's talking about for that, so I shut it down and reopened, and of course it went back to all original problems...
One more thing I've noticed - Just did a sync with my iPhone and initiated a Transfer Purchases first. iTunes transferred my new books, but though it said it was transferring some 20 apps, all still call for updates and my newest apps (not yet in the library) are still not in the library...

App update download failed with this dialog that cannot be dismissed

In Snow Leopard, in Mac App Store click "Update", download busy spinner keep spinning and never finish. After I quit App Store app, I see this dialog behind all the windows on the desktop:
mouse over it the busy beach ball shows up and click on "OK" does nothing.

Yes, I couldn't figure out how to kill that dialog box. So I reboot. Running Mapc App Store update again and this time it worked.

Apps update download

I have a few apps that I have installed on my iPhone5. Recently there are updates for these apps, so I downloaded these updates, however the installations never complete. My iPhone5 just shows these as INSTALLING. Specific apps are:
Montezuma version 1.0.4
Expedia Hot version 3.0
Silent Text version 1.5.0
Thanks.

It seems that if I delete an apps using your method, i.e. by making it shake and then tap "X" to delete, the apps appears in the cloud and then I just tap the cloud icon and it starts installing again without any problem.
But if I delete it via
Settings > General > Usage > Storage
then select the apps and delete them.
Then the deleted apps is shown as INSTALLING without the cloud icon and it is stuck on installation.

App updates download and process but still show needs update

Since 10.5.3 often i'll have app updates and when i select to download them it will download and process but still stay in update available. I've tried all the standard, restart, logout etc but they are still there. Like right now Whiteboard Lite is the one hanging. Then randomly some day it will go through but its kind of annoying.

Ok...
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the LIbrary folder then the Caches folder.
Move these files to the Trash: com.apple.appstore and com.apple.storeagent
Now from the same Library folder open the Preferences folder. Move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder, open the Cookies folder. Move this file to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
If you don't see the com.apple.storeagent files, don't worry about it.
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.
