Can't download or buy from the App Store

Whenever I try to download or buy something from the App Store it tells me to give the 3 security questions and I click ok than a pop up appears to write my password but it keeps popping every time I write although its correct so I can't buy or download anything from the App Store , plzzzz help

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPad via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPad to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPad, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

I can't download Xcode 4 from the App Store.

Hi Everyone,
I am getting a strange error, while trying to downloadXcode 4 from the App store. I have also contacted with the iTune store onlinehelp and other support division of Apple. I have talked with the Apple representativeyesterday about an hour but he couldn’t recognize this error message.
My first question is how to solve this? As no body has ananswer, whom do I ask if Apple technician said, “ I don’t know how to solvethat”? I am using OS Lion 10.7.1
Are they not tested well before launching this in to the Appstore; I thought only Microsoft has this kind of problems. Now after migratingto Apple I am having issues, than what is the meaning of investing more? I canuse the open source “ Ubuntu” or other OS.
Your help is appreciated! If any one can solve it.

Are you trying to update the original Xcode installer, is it still resident in your Applications folder? Because that is usually why a delta update is involved, it is updating a previous version of an app. If this is the case, then I would put the installer in the Trash and restart the Mac. Do not empty the Trash. Now see if the MAS will allow you to download the full installer for Xcode, since it can no longer detect the existence of the previous versions installer.

How can I download Mnt Lion from the App Store on a new Mac running Mavericks?

Greetings... We just purchased a new iMAC at work and need to remove Mavericks and move it backwards to Mnt Lion.
Some of our big apps like Esko Automation Engine Pilot arn't ready for Mavericks yet so we need to go back a version
to obtain the compatibility.
When I access the Mnt Lion download via the App Store I get an error message (1004) stating that Mnt Lion can not
be installed on this machine?
Any ideas on how I can make this happen?
Thanks

- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.

Hi...
Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then redownload:

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Bare with me...I need to explain the situation first.
I purchased an external harddrive and with the help of phone support, I moved some(most) of my itunes stuff to that hard drive. However, when I sync my iphone, it occasionally says something like..."did not sync song because it could not be found".
When I typed in the finder thing at the top right corner of my screen (spotlight?), I searched for itunes media. I found one file but it doesn't show me it's location. So I started looking (I'm still new to this) but I think I found 2 itunes media folders...1 on my imac harddrive and the other in my external harddrive.
After reading some of the online posts regarding downloads, I discovered that it is possible to redownload something you purchased before and NOT be billed again. I know that when I download an app in my iphone and then delete it, if I go to download it again, it tells me i already downloaded it and can download it again for free...so no problems there.
However, my interest is to greatly reduce the amount of "stuff" I have in my external harddrive as well as my internal harddrive. But before going into my external harddrive and deleting all 8 seasons of 24...which is something like 250gigs, I wanted to test the theory. So I looked for something cheap that I downloaded. I would then delete that and then go into the itunes store to redownload it again.
One thing I also want to mention, I read that there should be a purchased tab in my itunes store. Either I don't have it, or don't know where to look. One other thing I read is that it might be not available to me based on where I live. I live in Toronto, Ontario.
Back to what I did. I deleted an episode of Wallace and Gromit (kids show). Then went in itunes to download the same episode. When I checked my account information...it shows that I was just charged for that download...AGAIN! Now granted it was only $2.99...apparently this doesn't need to be the case.
So...going back to the 2 itunes media folders. I checked my system preferences and saw that itunes was set to save downloads here.../users/"my name"/music/itunes/itunesmedia. This folder is on my imac. However, the Wallace and Gromit video was on my external. So when I deleted it, I removed it from my external drive.
So here's what I have done so far...I went into the system preferences and proceeded to change the path to my external harddrive.
Now...before I go and delete something else...am I doing things correctly?
Also...what should the path be in itunes? I suspect it should be to my imac so that anything I download, downloads successfully to my internal harddrive...and then I drag and drop into my external...
I also want to mention that I have a time capsule as well. So basically...I want to keep my imac and time capsule free of as much media as possible...My computer and timecapsule each have 1 TB and I nearly maxed them out...I take alot of home videos with an HD camera...I had no idea how much that would add up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HT201272 I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store

I have OS 3.1.3 how do I go about Downloading past purchases from the App Store?

You can download the current versions of the apps from the store e.g. via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading. But you may find that the current versions require higher iOS versions than you have on your iPod - in which case have you not got copies of the older versions of those apps on your computer's iTunes or on a backup ?

How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the help folks, sorry I've been away.
I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.
