Can't download and update app's via app store

Hello. When i try to download or update app's from app store on my mac, there is a message box with the following text-" We could not complete your request.There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
any idea?

try booting to safe mode (restart while holding down the shift key) and once booted there open the app store and try downloading the updates and see if it works.
if it doesn't try a new test user to install the updates. the following article tells how to create a new acct on the mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600 (make sure you make it an admin account so it can authorize software installations)
hope one of these solutions works for you!

  • I can't download and update app

    I can't download and update app for 2 days it show waiting and cannot connect to itune store,please help me! I try to sign out and sign in apple id but it's not work

    For the Can't connect to the iTunes Store Message .....
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead a year or two. You will probably get some sort of error message telling you to correct the date so that you can connect to the server. Go back to the setting and set the date and time to Automatically on again.
    See if you can can connect to the iTunes store.
    For the "waiting" icons .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.

    Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

    Your Apple ID is tied to the US store. Log out of the store, then trying logging back in.

    I have a problem .. I can not download and update some applications from App Store as it asked me for apple ID I don't know this email.. How I can solve thi problem

    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

  • Can't download or update apps.

    Hi
    I have had an iPod for a couple of years and bought an iPhone earlier this year over the Internet (sent from the US). Until recently I could download and update apps on both devices. But now when I try to do this on my iPhone I get a message that I cannot use the US app store and should switch to the Danish store. I live in Denmark and have downloaded iTunes here. So I can't understand why I need to switch. When I look at my iTunes account only the iPod seems to be registered. How can I add the iPhone to the account/switch to the Danish app store? I hope some bright person can help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi again
    After reading through some of the similar questions and solutions, I managed to solve the problem myself. Thanks for a great forum :-)

  • My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

    My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

    Still you can switch it off while syncing.
    You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

    If you are receiving a message that your iTunes account has been disabled and resetting your password does not resolve the issue, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

    my mac app store has disappeared from my dock and when i pull it up in finder it says it is damaged. how can i download the mac app store software?

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

    OS X Lion 10.7.5 update combo

  • Can't download or update apps on iPad mini2,

    Can't download or update apps on iPad mini 2, it says 'Facebook could not download this time'.

    Reset the iPad and try again. No data will be lost. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    Hi Kristy,
    Update to 10.6.8 to use the app store.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.
