How to download App Store update once and update several computers? is Remote desktop an option?

I have very slow internet and I'm looking for a way of downloading a App Store update once and update several computers all of them are on the same app store account and same network, would remote desktop be able to do that? The account is a single user account, and there is no problem to download the updates to each computer, from a licensing perspective. It's the time all those downloads take with 1 Mbs internet speed, hats the problem. I managed to move the yosemite download out of the application folder and copy it to all my mac's but say a "pages" update will install automatically when download is complete and delete the downloaded file. So I'm wondering if Remote desktop would allow me to distribute one download to all my macs?

I found the solution: Download Pacifist and the 10.6.7. Combo Update and extract the App Store.app from that update into the app folder. Then every thing works fine.

If you mean you mistakenly deleted an app and want to redownload - open the app store, tap Purchases and you should see the app...just download again from there.

How to get App Store back once it was deleted

Hi there,
I deleted the App Store application with App Cleaner because I was thinking I don't need it. It is also deleted in the trash. Without App Store I cannot download the OS X Lion, and even if I would search in former updates to find the App Store.app I do not really know what files I have to restore too to get the program working. There is no link at apple.com where one can download the App Store nor does the Software update offer an option to re-install it. Is there any easy way to get either a .dmg file to re.install the app and its related files or can someone give me a list of the files I have to restore from my updates to run the App Store properly, or any hint how I could solve this problem?
Is the OS X Lion also available from Shops who sell it?
Thanks a lot for your input!

How to use App Store under proxy and firewall?

Greetings all,
We have an iPad which connects to Wifi with no problems. Under WiFi settings, I configure the Proxy HTTP manually.
I know that Youtube is blocked by a proxy. But iTunes and APP Store don't load without any apparent reason. Every other programs (Safari, Mail, Google Maps, etc...) load perfectly.
Ports 80 and 443 are open inside the proxy and firewall.
Through which protocols, ports or ip works APP Store/iTunes?
Thank you.
Regards

Just to be a bit clearer, this is what happens at work. At home, everything works perfectly.

App Store won't show updates if automatic update is disabled

After updating to iOS 7, I enabled automatic updating of Apps in the App Store. I decided I didn't want to do that so I then disabled it. That was yesterday. Today the App Store update page didn't show any pending updates despite having a badge number (which went away when I went into the store). I knew there were updates since they downloaded to iTunes yesterday so I tried killing the App Store app and loading it again, but nothing changed. Finally I enable automatic updates and sure enough the App Store showed there were 11 pending updates and started downloading them.
When it was done, I turned automatic updates off again, but the App Store doesn't appear to check for or show updates if downloading of automatic updates is turned on and then back of. Is this working for anyone?

I am having similar problems. The App Store icon badge is not updating. I do not use automatic updates. I update all my apps on iTunes on a Windows PC and then sync my iPads and iPhone. The icon badge does not update until the App Store is initiated and Updates is selected. Another strange behavior is that if App Store was initiated and Updates was selected with one or more updates displayed AND the the device is locked, when the device is unlocked the Updates display will be cleared and indicate that all apps are up to date!!!! The App Store must be exited and Updates reselected before the updates are displayed and the appropriate icon badge count is displayed.
You can only rely on an appropriate update count on the device by initiating the App Store (from the Home screen) and selecting Updates.

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

How can I tell which update for reader i have? I downloaded 11.0.07 once and later I had a request to download this again which i did

What I did was to select the adobe reader pop-up which
Appeared on my dock and downloaded the
Update 11.0.07.
I then went to "about adobe reader" and the terms of agreement showed up, And, like you, no place to
Agree, but, the top portion of the agreement indicated that I had 11.0.07 update.
So,I believe I have the latest update
The whole adobe site is much to confusing to me.
I don't know why you can't use it?how did you determine
You could'nt use it?

I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
Thank you.

Hi Yigit82,
It sounds as if your iPhone is having difficulty connecting to the App Store. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Start with the section titled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
I purchased my Mac used. The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store. It does not allow me to use a different user name. I have created my own username and password. I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username. Any help is appreciated.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year. Its not a pirated copy or anything. I deleted the app cause I never used it. After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app. When I click update, it just re-downloads the app. Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it. I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely. How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?

Go to the iTunes App Store, sort the applications by release data, and look at the older ones; these are likely to be compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the iPhone is a 3GS or newer model, it can be connected to iTunes on a computer and updated to 6.1.3.
