AppStore empty on MacBook Pro

Hello all,
Recently I updated the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.9.4. Now a number of my old applications no longer work. Disappointingly though, the software update buttons on the Apple menu and About This Mac both send me to an AppStore that has become a completely empty screen.
There is nothing in it at all, either in the homepage or under any of the buttons (Featured, Top Charts, Categories, Purchases and Updates). The search function also returns nothing.
Should I delete it and reload? I'm loth to do this without advice because it feels like I'll be risking taking away a very important element of my computer's software without ever getting it back. Mind you, I don't have it at the moment anyhow, so...
What to do?
Any advice would be very much appreciated indeed. Thanks!

1. If you haven't already done so since this started, log out and log back in, or restart the computer. Then try again.
2. Otherwise, if you're using "LittleSnitch" or any similar third-party software that blocks outgoing network connections, remove or disable it according to the developer's instructions and test.
3. If possible, connect to a different network and test.
4. There are reports that resetting the PRAM may solve the problem in some cases. I can't confirm.

  • No purchased Mountain Lion in Appstore with new Macbook Pro

    Hi there,
    I purchased a brand new Apple 13" Macbook Pro-3rd i5-2.5ghz two days ago. Now wanting to install an SSD drive i'm preparing by getting my OSX onto an external drive to make a clean install onto the new SSD.
    The Macbook came with 10.8.4 pre-installed, which I updated to 10.8.5, flawlessly. So, Mountain Lion pre-installed and updated, good.
    Now that I want to get Mountain Lion onto an external drive for when I go for the clean install on the SSD, I start looking for it in the appstore under my purchased apps: Mountain Lion nowhere to be found.
    I Google the problem: "Mountain Lion OSX not showing as purchased in Appstore"
    Same apple id used? Yes I did.
    "It's probably under your hidden purchases, check your account and show hidden purchases!" No it's not there as well.
    If I search the market for Mountain Lion it shows up... with a nice pricetag of 17,99 euros.
    How is this possible? I registered my Apple ID correctly, was able to update to 10.8.5 just fine, but the Mountain Lion OSX still appears as un-purchased in the Appstore, which is not letting me download it (for free..)
    Suggestions?
    Best regards,
    Sylvain

    Thank you for your clear answer! All the answers from Google I found apparently came from people that purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store instead of having it pre-installed, which got me confused.
    I purchased the Macbook new from an authorised reseller, not directly from an Apple Store. However the store is pretty big and common in Holland (www.dixons.nl) so that won't be an issue.
    So you're saying I can simple put the SSD in, boot with command+R while being connected to the internet and install through the recovery partition directly of the internet.
    Seems like a very easy system, I guess i'm just used to old fashion having the operating system on an external drive or cd in order to make a clean install.
    *Will it be a problem to leave the original HDD in alongside with the new SSD? I guess in the boot menu you can choose what to do with each drive?
    I will be using the original 500gig HDD for storage, simply installing the SSD in order to boost he performance of the Macbook.

  • My MacBook pro don't start after installing Lion

    Hi
    I just downloaded Lion from AppStore, then my MacBook pro wan,t start. It is only the apple.

    I'm afraid that with hardware problems, such as you dsecribe, are difficult (if not impossible) to diagnose over the Internet. You're just going to have to break down and make the trip to your nearest Apple Store or AASP and have them diagnose your computer. I take it that you didn't purchase the extended AppleCare Protection Plan? Let's just hope it's not a logic board problem...

  • Upgrading RAM on MacBook Pro

    Hi folks,
    My boss wanted to upgrade his MBP 15" 2.4 GHz's 2GB RAM to 4 GB. I went to the Apple store for help, and was told they only work on fried RAM - but they sold me the memory module and showed me the step by step guide.
    We followed the step by step guide to the letter, but now that the new memory is installed, it's only recognizing one slot. When we run system profiler, it comes back with the message
    BANK 0/DIMM0 Empty Empty Empty Empty
    BANK 0/DIMM1 2 GB DDR3 1067 MHz OK
    The same thing happens even if we switch the slots that the RAM is going into - and when we reseat the original memory sticks, it only recognizes 1 GB.
    Could we have caused the slot itself to go bad? Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run on it without having to take it back to the store, to see if it is the slot? ...if it is, dare I ask how difficult it is to get fixed and how much it tends to cost?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I have the same problem when trying to update my memory in my MacBook Pro. I installed the new 2x 2GB memory cards and it does not matter which slot I put the memory in the MacBook Pro will not boot when both cards are populated. I removed the 1 GB card that was in slot 1, I installed both 2x 2GB cards and the system would not boot. I removed the card in slot 0 and the system booted and showed that I have 2GB in slot 1. I then tried to insert the original 1 GB card in slot 1 for a total of 3GB the MacBook Pro again would not boot. I swapped the cards around thinking that there may be some order in which the memory needed to be installed. Again this did not work either. I verified that both slots worked, if I install the memory in slot 0 with slot 1 empty the MacBook Pro boots, if I install the memory in slot 1 with slot 0 empty the MacBook Pro boots. The question is, is their anything that is required for the MacBook Pro to recognized that I have memory in both slots at the same time and boot successfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Macbook pro not working without battery

    my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
    & if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before charging

    Try an SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended.

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • Emptying trash isn't freeing up any space on MacBook Pro or external drive. Time Machine is OFF.

    Yesterday, while using Final Cut Pro X, I noticed the program/my computer was starting to run slow--and then I was totally caught off guard by a warning that my startup disk was full. I checked Storage and Finder and both my MacBook Pro and external drive had less than 1gb of space each! I usually use Secure Empty Trash and have no problems...but for my drives to be full, it clearly hasn't been working for a few days, possibly weeks.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro (early 2011) and a LaCie Thunderbolt external drive. I'm running Mavericks (10.9.2)
    I am not using Time Machine. When I look at Storage under About This Mac, my Backups on my MBP and LaCie drive are both at zero KB.
    I read through the forums and tried going into Terminal and entering sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash ...but all that did was free up about 10gb on my external drive (I'd emptied upwards of 90gb from my trash).
    Right now I'm basically stuck with a slow laptop and very little storage space, which has slowed my work to a halt. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • [HELP!!!]iCloud, Mac appstore not connecting, ever since I  move to china bot in ipad and macbook pro

    since I move to china a week ago i realize base on my personal experience that the country is definitely no mac friendly, which is unfortunate for me since i own a macbook pro, iphone and ipad, and i tell you why. ever since i move to china it seems that most of internet related services that apple offer in the mountain lion seemed to be useless, firstly, I can't connect to the mac app store, secondly, i can't connect to the iCloud to do backups for my ipad and iphone and sync notes, and lastly, although not a big lost for me but still noticable is that the help center no longer able to find help if needed from the internet. oh yeah and the safari seems to work slower. I tried to search for any person that are in similar situation like me but no ane seems to be in one therefore I started this discussion. please help me out...
    to give you guys a heads up, looking at all the problems the patterns seems to relate with the apple connections only, I use a mid 2009 macbookpro from Australia, and I bought the mountaion lion from an indonesian appstore, currently my feelings leads to the fact that my mountain lions that are not bought from chinese mac appstore is the reasons, since i read from some articles that the mountain lions that were released in china are different witht he rest of the world.
    any help or solution in order to make my mac working normal again is very much welcome, cheers guys

  • I have updated my iPad 2 to 7.0.2.  After syncing to iTunes I noticed that in Safari on my MacBook Pro one of the Bookmark tabs has been emptied.  Also, on the iPad I am getting a dark keyboard that stays on the screen no matter what is going on behind it

    Lots of strange things happening after installing 7.0.2.  Mail and Safari routinely quit on me.  Keyboard appears for no reason and doesn't go away.  After syncing to iTunes on my MacBook Pro one of the bookmark tabs got emptied out.  Is there no one cracking the whip anymore at Apple?

    Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
    If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
    If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out.
