Error (18) from App Store while updating iMovie

Hi,
I met two errors consecutively from App Store when trying to update iMovie on a MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion) bought this year. First, it says
"We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (18)".
then followed with another error
"These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update".
Attached are the images (apologies for the resolution). Does anyone have idea why this happens and how to overcome it?
Thanks,
Stanly

If you originally installed iPhoto from an iLife DVD, or if it came preinstalled on a Mac that shipped with installation discs, then you can't update it in the App Store. Depending on what version it is, there may be an updater you can use on the Apple Support website. Otherwise you'll have to purchase iPhoto from the App Store.

  • Hi. I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error did mot allow me to that. It's number is 1009.

    I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error does not allow me to take any app. The error number is 1009.

    Thats the ugliest code I've seen in a while and may be hampering your abilities to debug it. No offense - you have to start somewhere - think of it as somewhat constructive criticism.
    However, I cannot find any place where this is happening. Its happening on line 193.
    Also, this only happens when you try to move certain pieces to certain squaresThat might be a clue. Try printing out the indexes before line 193 and see what happens. Maybe use a debugger to step through your code.

  • Has anyone gotten the following error message when trying to do in-app purchases? Error purchasing from App Store, then underneith that ,Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)

    I'm getting an error message when trying to make in-app purchases.
    Error purchasing from App Store
    Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)
    I can purchase songs in itunes, but not the in-app purchase for Kingdoms at War. I've checked the parental controls and all the other obvious things in settings. Let me know if anyone knows how to correct this. Thanks.

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers. 

  • I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

    iMac 21" Intel
    year 2013
    OSX10.10.1
    I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
    I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
    I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
    The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
    I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
    I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
    I am utterly disappointed.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks.
    Carlo

    Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

  • I cannot update IPhoto or IMovie- Error message from App Store

    Hi there-
    I cannot update IPhoto or IMovie. I have the latest OS. I cannot use these Apps either- they both ask me to update to the newest version, but when I try to I get an error message saying that the App store could not complete my request and to please try again later (null). 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • App Store Continually Updates iMovie

    Since installing Mavericks, I've been asked to install iMovie constantly. Despite having upgraded to the lastest version (10.0) the App Store seems unable to recognize it as such and will download and reinstall.
    This is what it looks like:
    And here is my list of "recently installed" apps...

    Here is the fix as per Apple Care Support if anyone else is looking for this: Remove iMovie 9.0.9.
    When you install iMovie 10.0 it keeps your old copy of iMovie 9 in a seperate folder. In some cases (at least in mine) the App Store continues to see the old version and assumes you need an update.
    To remove iMovie 9.0.9, go into your Applications folder and just drag the folder called "iMovie 9.0.9" into the trash.
    Keep in mind that there may be some features in the earlier iMovie that didn't make it into the newest version, so be sure that you're willing to lose them if you delete the old iMovie from your machine.
    I did not try it but it is also possible that simply moving the old iMovie to a different locatin on your machine will allow you to keep the application without the App Store seeing it and attempting to update every two seconds.

    There seems to be a current issue for a small number of people trying to download the LPX app (or any other large app for that matter) from the Mac App store...
    Most people have found that trying it a day or so later then works..
    However, check out these tips first.... in case it's not related to the issue i just metioned...
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6422
    Also try signing out of the Mac App Store... restart your Mac and the sign back in again (Sign out and in can be found under the Mac App Store menu item : Store) This will sometimes fix the issue too...
    ..and if all else fails.. Contact Apple directly for assistance with this problem.

  • HT5919 How do I remove apps from App Store after update in IOS7?

    After app update, all app icons are remaining in App Store. Is there a way to remove the icons as in iOS 6?

    There is no way to remove apps from your purchase history. It simply cannot be done. You can HIDE apps from the purchased tab, but you can NEVER delete them.
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Support - Apple
    As for the updates not clearing, try closing the App Store app and reboot your iPad,
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
