Can't download/install apps from Mac App Store

When I click "Get" and "Install App," nothing happens after that, no prompt for the Apple ID password appears. I have downloaded apps before with no problem. I have already tried clearing the App Store cache, cookies, and preference files, and resetting the PRAM, with no success.

I have a friend in the same boat - she just got a used Mac and I am her "helper". It's a mid-2010 iMac, on 10.6.not sure. LOL I was walking her through a purchase on the App Store and when she clicked the price and then buy/get, nothing happens. No drop down window that pops into the main window where you can enter your Apple ID or create one if you don't have one. I had her establish her Apple ID and get that party started, still nothing. Hard to find anything else out there on the web for solutions.
She's friends with the people that had the Mac before and they did do some cleaning up the hardware prior to giving it her, but nothing is obvious about fixing this issue. I asked her to double check with the friends. Glad to know that she's not the only one with this problem.

    To solve the problem, it helps to know what the problem is.
    Are you getting any error messages? Are you tapping on the download button and nothing happens? Please explain what is happening.
    Without knowing the full issue, generic troubleshooting you can do is go to settings>itunes and app store>appleID>sign out, then sign back in. Then press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until the device restarts.

    You will not lose everything on you phone if you backup prior to updating. You can do it maunaully (simply by syncing your phone with itunes) but when you update iTunes will prompt you do back up your phone anyways. After you've updated you can reload everything on to your phone with the itunes back up.

  • Can I download a movie from the US store with a German account (in Germany)

    Hello everybody.
    I was looking for "The curious case of Benjamin button" in the German store, but I only find it in the us store. My question now is: how can I download a film from the us iTunes Store to my German iTunes account? I currently life in Germany and I use itunes very often.
    Can I change my German iTunes Store to the us version? Or do I need to open an account set in English (US)?
    Any help is welcome. Thanks.

    You can't buy it from outside of the USA.

  • Can't download a purchase from Mac App Store

    I recently bought OSX Lion and redeemed it through the Mac App Store. When I go to my purchases, I see it there and I click the download button, but it doesn't download. The little spinning gear shows up for a few seconds in the top left corner and then it stops and nothing happens.
    I currently running Snow Leopard on an old white Macbook that I got in 2007. I'm pretty sure this is the last update I can do for my operating system.
    I downloaded Hands Off! but that didn't do anything, and I've tried resarting my computer but that isn't doing anything either....
    Help?

    Sign out of the iTuned and App stores on your phone and update your billing info through iTunes Store on your computer then sign back in on your phone.

  • I'm in Iran and I can't download of App Store how should I do they are so sad of this please help!!

     

    Since Apple does not do any business with Iran, you therefore have no access to an App Store. If you want access to an App Store, you will have to move to a country where apple does business.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • TS1292 I can't download "Motion 5" from the iTunes store.

    Every time I select to go to Go to App Store  the page comes up blank saying "It doesn't understand that address"!!!

    You will need to wait for Apple to rectify the issue. Do not make changes at your end.
