Everytime I start App Store it slows my machine

Everytime I start APP store it brings my Macbook to a halt.
Activity monitor has 4 or 5 processes for app store running at high CPU
It will eventually run but takes an age to get stable
As soon as I kill APP store processes in Activity Monitor everything returns to normal
OSX 10.9.2 Macbook later 2008 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 8Gb RAM 256GB SSD

i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.

Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to. Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).

Everytime I open app store, Podcast app pops up

Everytime I open app store, Podcast app pops up. Once it pops up I have no choice but to open Podcasts which takes me away from the store. It won't let me click around the window to get into the store and ignore the pop up. I'm new to apple, so have patience. . .
I want to get into the apps store but since I loaded podcasts I can't, what is going on?

This is really bugging me. Is anyone else getting this?
Every time you launch the app, or every time you try to do something with the app? I was surprised to see that the phone would not cache the password between successive runs, but admittedly the phone is a lot easier to steal/lose than the desktop you're running iTunes on. I can browse without the p/w, it's only when I try to buy something (even a free item) that it asks.
My phone w/ 2.2.1, with 3.0, with 3.0.1, and now with 3.1 has always asked.
Also I do not get receipts anymore, I checked my email on my iTunes account and it's correct?
Can't answer this one. I always get receipts. I wonder about the $0 ones when I download a free app, but at least they're e-receipts, not printed paper ones.

Why is the app store so SLOW?

Whenever I bring up the App Store application, it takes ages to load. I just closed App Store and started it again, and it took a full TWO MINUTES for "featured" items to come up. Whenever I try to download something, it takes way longer than any other major download site I use.
I live in Japan, use the Japan App Store, and am on a 30mbs connection. So why does the App Store take so long to load and download?

Has it always been like that?

Is your App Store experience slow after iOS 6 upgrade?

Here are the scenarios I find to be very slow:
1. going to update section and clicking on update all which will update 20+ apps at the same time and App Store becomes unusable
2. Go to charts section and now select a category, you will see 3 columns of apps just try scrolling up/down on one of the columns. I find the UI to be very poorly responding to tracking my finger. This reminds me of using samsung galaxy tab 10.1 on android 3.x which had horrible UI responsiveness.
I'm on iPad 3rd generation. I didn't expect this iPad to buckle under these changes seems like the App Store needs more optimization a for sure.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

App store to slow to load

Mac App store running slow in lion

Since I install Lion (clean install) on my Mac Pro 2009 the Mac App Store in very slow and each time I click on an item I see the beachball. Everything aside the App Store is running fast and smooth. Anyone with the same problem ???
Thanks !
Olivier

I'm guessing it's because the MAS has been seeing increased traffic since Lion came out. I'd imagine that tens of thousands of people downloading it every hour is putting a strain on the system. I myself am seeing the same problem.
If the problem persists for you, contact Apple Technical Support.

Why is Mac App Store so slow in China?

Accessing the Mac App Store is extremely slow in China. It is so frustrating.
It is slow when loading, searching, downloading, etc.
Is it possible for Apple to set up some servers in China so that the users here can have better experience?

Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. This is a user to user forum. No one here knows Apple's future plans.

Mac App store very slow

Mac App store takes ages to load up, then open or search for any apps. It works fine but just very slow. It wasn't always like this, just recently.

From your Applications folder move the App Store app to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
Now open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
I know you already installed the v10.6.7 combo but you need to do this one more time. If you still have the original .dmg file, move that to the Trash.
Reinstall new: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
If that didn't reinstall the App Store app, follow these instructions.
Get Pacifist
Pacifist is a utility that can extract files from a .dmg folder.
Open Pacifist after you install it. In the Pacifist window click Open Package.
Navigate to the MacOS XUpdCombo10.6.7.pkg. Select that then click Open.
In the next window click the gray disclosure triangle where you see: Contents of manual
Then click the triangle next to: Contents of MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.7.pkd
Then click Applications, then right or control click: App Store.app
Then click: Install to Default Location. That will reinstall the MAS to your Applications folder.

I was getting an app in the store and finished all the logins/confirmations and such, and then this "download now" button comes up that i can't click, and now everytime i open app store this unclickable button is there and i can't get it to go away

Hi
i was getting an app in the app store and did all the logins and confirmations and stuff, and when that was done a thing pops up in the middle of the screen that said "download now" and an OK button, but i can't click it.. and not anywhere else, so i can't use the app store for anything else until this thing is gone, so anyone know how to fix this?

If you Go to the app store on your phone, then go to updates you should have a purchased icon at the top.
Click on that and it will show the apps you have downloaded before as they are stored on the icloud.
Then you should be able to click on the app and redownload it, not sure if it will charge but its worth a try.

Why is the apps store so slow to download? I Am waiting 10 hours!

is there an issue at the moment with the App Store as I have been waiting for 10 hrs. The App Store message says " Try Later"

Has it always been like that?

App Store outrageously slow

Hello,
I'm downloading 3GB from the App Store and it gives me 1 day and 17 hours left to finish.. I don't really know if connections to the AppStore are throttled or not.. but this is really not the kind of service you would accept 2011.
So I guess my question is.. Apple.. why don't you use a p2p based software delivery mechanism or at least a decent CDN..
It makes me dread the day Lion will be out only on the App Store and takes days to download.

Number one, when you say 16 MB, do you mean "megabyte" because by all means, that's a ridiculously fast connection that no one domestic has, most businesses don't even have connections that fast.
I think you're confusing it with megabits which are shown as "Mb".
However, even a 4Mbps connection should do 3.8GB in about 3 to 4 hours, not a day or more. Apple are throttling or suffering heavy load for some reason.
Like I say, I'm trying to get Aperture and it's around 600MB is size, it should take no more than 9 minutes to download yet it's clocked at 1 hour now.
EDIT: As we speak, the connection has just shot up and Aperture will be down very quickly. Acoording to Activity Monitor I was getting around 1.6MB/s from the App Store, so as we can all see it is possible.

Ipad wordfeud starts app store automatically

When using Wordfeud (free version) it jumps again and again to the App Store which opens with the page to download the Dark Ages 2 app.

As thuis seems to be a more common problem it would be helpful when Apple would take action too!

App Store loading slow

When opening the App store tyhe busy circle icon spins and says loading for minutes. Iphone 4s and sisters ipod touch same model does not have this issue and they are all on the same house network. Any ideas or suggestion on how fix this? Thank you in advance

Hi AidanBubbs,
Try restarting the faulty device. To do that, press the Home and lock buttons simultaneously (ignore the red "slide to power off" switch that pops up) until you see the Apple logo. You won't lose any data.
Hope this helps,
O.C.

Serious App Store Bug involving Time Machine

Here's the deal as far as I can figure out.
SOMEHOW, Mountain Lion has it in it's head that - even though I only bought my machine a month ago new and no one else has ever signed in, touched it or even so much as blinked at it or my apple ID - it thinks that I own an app that may have previously been backed up on the used drive I have attached to my machine even though that is not a real part of my system.See it is weird.. My App Store believes wrongly that I -> 1. Have an app installed that I have never had in my purchase history - but I must (sort of) still have within the bits on the time machine disk and 2. that my legitimately installed iLife apps brand new on the machine (iphoto included which currently is asking for an update also) were disseminated later in time and therefore the other ghost iLife apps on the unused portion of the timemachine backup were more legit by having simply been registered under another apple ID on someone else's rig before I did on mine with my own ID.. I now can't update my legit copies of iPhoto nor can I get rid of this solitaire app on my update list that I have never in fact seen or downloaded! It's not even in my purchases! I have tried every possible combo of logout, restart, I even stood on my head and spit rainbows out of my butt.. I cannot update iPhoto or do a darn thing! HELP!
JessanneS
Situation Summary:
Newly installed Time Machine with a used 1TB drive my friend gave me he didn't need.. this is the catalyst. -=>
The App Store is super CONVINCED I own an app (and I need to update it!) I've never bought or seen ever.. but MIGHT (this is my best guess!) have belonged to the last person using my newly installed and previously used as a time machine, 1tb Time Machine (get it?)
Also, The App Store is convinced that I have no way of updating iPhoto even though it came installed on my new machine last month and I am the only person who has signed into, set up, used an Apple ID on, or even touched my precious new iMac. So I can't update iPhoto (and that application seriously needs the update... so this *****! )
- my suspicion is that OSX Mountain Lion/App Store is convinced that the original person who had this used 1TB drive that I am now time machining with had iPhoto (and probably everything ever) backed up onto this drive and that somehow the OS is finding some type of registry codes (?) buried on it that it is interpretting as somehow more legitimate than my own currently.. maybe because they appeared first in time (as in before I even bought my new iMac?)
Anyway.. this is pretty seriously upsetting me at the moment. And I think a dev needs to look into this.
Thanks for any possible helpful suggestions. Please be kind, I'm sort of a newbie to Mac land.
JessanneS
Here is the annoying apple ID of the wrong person I don't even know who showing up.. it just so happens to have an email address local to my area so that is how I figured out that the drive I am using for Time Machine may be affecting my OS negatively..
<Edited By Host>

The MAS doesn't intend to peek on your network drives. As mentioned, it uses the spotlight indexing to see what's on your system. You can always re-index and mess around, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
You may have noticed sometimes when mass storage is being indexed, this can take many hours. This is generally when people call AppleCare because they think Time Machine is broken It's not, it's just that millions of modes can take a while, even for a modern Mac.
I'll flag a moderator to move your image.
