HT1338 The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Why can not I iPhoto software update, when the update request the following message appears:
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Hi,
Spent hours on this, fixing permissions, reinstalling combo download, removing virusbarrier, no good.
Then found this and worked for me, simples!!

The Mac App Store shows an update available for iMovie but when I click "update" it gives me this message, "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." What can I do to update this program?

I am running Lion 10.7.4. Tried to download the OS X Mountain Lion upgrade in my App Store - getting: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
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 page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Always search the forum before posting. This is asked at least three times just below your post.

please help! i want to update my computer!!!"Update your new MacBook Pro"?
Well, if your MacBook Pro is new, it already has Mavericks installed and there is nothing to update.
Go to the Menu Bar, and click the Apple logo. Then click "About This Mac." Does it show OS X 10.9 or 10.9.1?
If so you are already running Mavericks. -
Hi,
I've recently updated my late 2009 macbook from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Things were working good. Yesterday I updated in to 10.8.4. Today I saw an update for Xcode. I tried installing it. But I have been constantly receiving "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" in App Store. There after I am not able to purchase anything from App Store. I tried following things:
1. Tried downloading the updates in Safe Mode. ==> No success.
2. I deleted folder present in /var/folders ==> No success.
3. I changed my network by converting my phone to WiFi hotspot and I stopped receiving the error.
Can somebody please suggest any reason/solution?
Router I am using is D-Link N300.
Thanks.The problem got solved by changing DNS to public DNS from Google. i.e. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Thanks -
when ever i'm tring to install an app from the app store i'm getting the following error.
"We could not complete your purchase - The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed".
someone plz help me to overcome this.Installing the appropriate combo update may help...
If you are running v10..7 Lion, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
For 10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
If that doesn't help, try the following..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
You may also need to disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall -
When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps. -
