CAN NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ON THE MAC APP STORE?

When I try to update my apps it say's We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)
- I STILL HAVE UPDATES!
HELP!

Not the OP, but I've been having this problem since June (with the exact same error), and logging out and back in hasn't helped.
Helpfully, the store app opens a pop-up every 2 weeks or so to let me know that there are updates I can't access. It's super annoying.

    I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

  • How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

    I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

    HI Judy...
    You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
    Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

  • Can't download anything from the Mac App Store.

    I haven't had to download an App from the MAS in a while but i do vaguely remember having this problem before. When i go to install the app (Mavericks in this case) it comes up on my purchased list, but when i click Download it will seemingly do nothing. Looking at my Launchpad of current downloads, it is there but it has a greyed out icon which indefinitely says 'downloading'.
    I've tried everything i've seen suggested on other threads, deleting the caches, deleting storeagent etc. Nothing has worked and it's pretty irritating.

    why do i get the purchase cannot be completed message when i try to install mav from my app store..
    sorry to interupt, iv already made 2 posts about this and was curious what might be the problem?

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

    Options if you cannot upgrade:  iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there.  Backup your device directly to  iCloud over a wireless connection.  Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

  • HT5525 I can't find the updates tab in the mac app store (just updated iTunes)?

    I'm trying to purchase a book of photos through iPhoto - it tells me to update iPhoto before I can order the book. My macbook pro is running OSX Lion so it says I can update iPhoto "in the updates tab of the mac app store"... but when I go to the app store in iTunes, there is no updates tab. I then tried the second update option, via software update under the apple menu, but that just updated a bunch of other firmware, not iPhoto.
    Can anyone help point me in the direction of the iPhoto '11 update please?

    You don't use iTunes for that.  Launch the App Store application
    that's in your Applicaitons folder, login with your Apple ID and you should be able to update iPhoto.

  • HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the  Mac App Store?

    I cannot update apps, or download  Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
    Never experienced this before.

    I need to clarify the problem:
    software update returns:
    The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

  • Can't buy/download anything from the Mac App Store

    Anyone has the problem of not being able to buy anything from the Mac App Store. It is extremely annoying. It does not show any error messages. When I click on the "Buy App" icon it does't go anywhere. its so annoying and disappointing. Tried it from two computers, mac pro and macbook pro.

    Disable anti virus software and try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

  • Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

    Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

    You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.

  • Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

    I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with  Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
    I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
    However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
    It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
    I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    same problem here 
    This solution work fine with me :
    1. Systems Preferences -> Network
    2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
    3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
    4. Click OK, then click Apply.
    5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

    I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that

    Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

  • Why isn't safari 6.04 showing up in the update section of the mac app store?

    i am running the latest Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3. 
    I ran Software Update and and update under the Mac App Store but there
    is no Safari 6.04 but only an update for iPhoto.  And there is not Java update
    from Apple either.
    What gives?
    it showed for some people and for some it didn't.
    I wonder why?
    I hope by the end of the week I can be able to download it from
    the Mac App Store.

    devnull66, you are a star!
    I switched from a my standard account to an administrative account and checked for updates and then they showed up in the App Store. I didn't update yet though. I switched back to my standard account and checked for updates again to see what would happen and there they were so I was able to complete the updates from my standard account.
    In my case I also just upgraded from Lion to Miuntain Lion this past weekend. I just did an upgrade in-place over top of Lion, usually I do clean installs with major upgrades. When I switched to the Administrative account, this was the first time since the upgrade, there was a dialogue box on screen asking me if I wanted to log in to my Apple ID. I just clicked continue in this case to continue to my administrative account with out logging in.

  • Can't update to Lion: Serious Mac App Store problem

    I tried twice to update my OS (10.6.8) to Lion via the Mac App Store. Both times I got a failure message shortly before I had downloaded the 3,74 GB, saying the app can't be downloaded and that I have to restart the downloading (original message in German: "Die App kann nicht geladen werden. Das Laden des gewünschten Programms ist fehlgeschlagen. Bitte versuchen sie es erneut").
