Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

Hello,
I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
What else can I do?

I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
Since when have you been seeing this error message?
Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
Thanks for your reply!

    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

    This indicates a mucked up installation, since the SU can't find the PackageKit file. Reinstall Snow Leopard from your install disc.

  • Weird issue with software updates in the Mac App Store

    The Mac App Store routinely tells me that I have updates available, even though those are the same updates I successfully installed two days earlier. This has been happening consistently for about a month. (I'm on Snow Leopard)

    That's only applies to systems that you own or control. In this case as it is your sisters machine you don;t own or control it.
    Having said that if you did use your copy of ML on her machine it would be tied into your Apple ID. So anytime the system needed to be upgraded (or restored in the case of a mishap) she would need to use your Apple ID.
    How well do you trust her?

    The iPod Touch currently has iOS 2.2.1. I am trying to purchase the iOS 3.1 update by following the link on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
    Upon signing in and agreeing to the terms of service I recieve error 5002. I have restored the iPod and the error still occurs. I have tried purchasing the update on multiple Apple accounts and on multiple computers, both Mac and PC with no success.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Try this artilce.

    It says:
    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.
    Click Continue.
    Test the issue.
    It could be related to the errors than some users are seeing today and yesterday about checking billing address.

  • I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and get java "error" message when trying to use research tool on Morningstar Java referred me to Apple but they had no update.Any ideas? thanks.e

    I have a imac OSX 10.5.8 and get a java "error" message when trying to use a research tool on Morningstar.Java referred me to Apple but they had no updates. Any ideas? thanks.

    Well I solved my problem.
    What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
    Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
    If you don't already know how here are the steps...
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

  • HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

    Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
    You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.
