Cannot download update from App Store

The APP store is teling me I have one item to download, I try to do this and I get a message tellng me it is disabling my password.I then get a message saying there is an error at the APP Store (100)  and to try later. I can still log into Itunes with my password despite being told its been disabled.  Can anyone help?

Do you have the WSJ app?
Spent much of the weekend trying to fix same problem. Apple support were polite but couldn't help. Then stumbled across a note against the latest WSJ update to say there had been a bug preventing downloads.
Deleted WSJ app, rebooted iPad, and problem solved
Hope this helps you or maybe others. A lot of people must be experiencing this problem - now I've figured it out, I've found chatter on Twitter etc.
Apple, perhaps you alert your Support staff.

  • Cannot download Mavericks from App Store

    Hello to all,
    I just want to download OS X Mavericks from App Store and I get a simple error message:
    "We could not complete your purchase.
    OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer."
    And the "Learn More" button points me to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    I am doing this from my brand new Mac Book Pro 13'' Retina (Late 2013), running Mavericks 10.9.1.
    My objective is to install Mavericks on my Mac Mini (a system bought at the beginning of 2013), whose original harddrive was replaced with an SSD. That is the reason I just want to do a fresh install on it.
    Waiting for feedback.
    Thank you.

    Hi Thomas,
    I should boot a Linux distro from USB just to erase the disk, although I would expect that as an option to be provided during the setup of the Mac OS X installation process.
    Anyway, meanwhile I am following this guide here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterprise/how-to-create-a-bootabl e-usb-to-install-os-x-mavericks/.
    While writing this response, I manage to follow the whole article and the result is successful for now: right now I am in the process of installing the Mavericks. Interesting is that after booting from the USB I also got "Your computer restarted..." error, but after that the reboot started the installation process. Then I manage to erase the SSD drive using Disk Utility provided during installation.
    Well... 5 minutes left. :-)
    Again, thanks a lot for the quick answers!

  • Cannot install updates from app store

    imac 2012, 2.7GHz i5, 8GB, Yosemite 10.10.2
    After updating to Yosemite 10.10.1 the app store stopped installing system apps such as 10.10.2, iTunes, Hp and Epson updates, iMovies etc. I solved the 10.10.2 update by downloading and directly installing but the app store still did not not allow updates for security updates, iTunes etc.
    App store lists the updates available, I click update, it says installing for 2 seconds, then says installed and lists the installed app under 'updates installed in the last 30days'. A few seconds later the app returns under 'updates available' as needing updating.
    After trying verify and fix disk and verify and fix permissions without success, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.2 by using CMD R and selecting reinstall OS X, however the problem is exactly the same - I cannot update OS X software apps.
    Any ideas?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to update. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Cannot download Mavericks from App Store - error 1004, then error 13.

    I have previously downloaded Mavericks 10.9.5, but now I cannot a second time.  When I attempt to download, I get an error code 1004..hitting cancel gives me error 13. Yosemite will download, but I don't want it until the "bugs" are worked out - maybe version 10.10.2.
    Have contacted technical support by phone and cannot talk to a real person, only the menu system..want a serial number for a Mac. Since my MacBook Pro is over 3 years old, says I must pay for a technical support session - $29 fee.
    This is how to treat a loyal customer?  Pay for support for an App Store failure to download a free upgrade?

    This advise (in theory) should work. However, there are no "hidden items", but there is a "manage" link
    Clicking on that link shows me nothing other than 2 previously downloaded, and since removed, free items (free apps I tried but later removed).
    There is no "hidden" Mavericks download, or for that matter, previously downloaded Mountain Lion.
    (Which I also cannot download from the "purchases" page.)
    There is a button labeled "Reset" which links to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading" which I have tried multiple times with no positive result.
    No joy.

  • Cannot download anything from App Store, no error.

    I haven't been able to download anything from the Mac App Store. I've tried a few things to help with troubleshooting, and this is what I've gotten so far:
    - I cannot download anything when I use my computer
    - I cannot download anything, even if logged into another user (it is not limitted to my account)
    - I can download things if I'm logged into my account on another computer
    - Internet connection is not the issue, as I have tried many internet signals
    I don't have any firewalls or anything like that.

    I fixed it by turning my computer off and on again.
    Go figure, I've been trying to fix this for weeks.

  • Cannot download anything from app store

    I have looked through posts on this subject and nothing has helped me yet...
    Running lion on a brand new macbook pro and keep receiving this message when attempting to download even free apps:
    "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    It appears right after typing in password to apple id.
    I came back over 12 hours later and still got that message.  Tried restarting and still the message...
    ideas?

    here is a solution for someone that I found (If you don't have a second AppleID, try creating a new one):
    "I was trying to download an App from the Mac OS X App Store. When I put in my password and clicked Sign In, instead of downloading and installing the application this message came up:
    There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)
    Luckily I have more than one Apple ID, so I just deleted my email address from the left text field and put in my other email address, put in my password or that one and clicked Sign In again. It worked fine."

    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.cookies and com.apple.appstore.plist files from the Cookies folder to the Trash.

    Try the App Store.

  • Cannot download Spotify from App Store

    I cannot find or download Spotify App in App Store in Denmark for my IPad3.

    If you are now in Denmark with a valid Danish billing address then you will need to change the address on your account and your billing info to your new details - which you might be able to do (I've never needed to do it) either by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and doing View Apple ID, or on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account. If you still have a balance on your account then that will need to be used up first (or you can contact iTunes support and see if tey can remove it for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page)

  • Why am I not able to download updates from App Store?

    Hey, I have a problem with updates in the App Store. Now I see, I have an update for a game which calls Nyan Cat: Lost In Space. I have never heard about the game! When I want to update I see an e-mail [email protected] but I don't know it. I've never seen it before. I have read on the internet some informations about store hacking or something like that, so I exclude it absolutely! So could you help me, plese? (Sorry for my English)

    Don't know anything about hacking.   I just typed it into Google and there was more than a page of references to this situation, but none that I could see as a warning. Seems it is a glitch of some kind.   I would delete ... unopened.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

    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.

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

  • Asked to put security questions and answers. Click "Done" and it does not lead me anywhere. Now cannot download anything from iTunes Store.

    Asked to put security questions and answers. Click "Done" and it does not lead me anywhere. Now cannot download anything from iTunes Store.
    Anyone has been having this problem?

    I have the same issue, bteween France and The Netherlands. No solution found yet.
    Worse even. My credit card is not from The Netherlands, and the dutch store does not accept a creditcard from outside NL. So i used my french card to buy one app using France has my home country. Luckily the app's language remained English, but now the french store seems to be offering me frech versions of existing (free) apps which i dont want. So i cant use the updates.
    i cant change the country back to Neterlands, without using a credit card. I can make a new ID, but the old one remains stuck with the french store, pffff It seems the only solution is to create a new ID via a "purchase" of a free app, but the older free apps all may need to be reinstalled that way.
    Typical Apple ..... ? ! !
    I may regret having purchased this ipad.....

  • I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
    To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
    I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.
