HT201364 Mac App Store fail to update new apps and install new apps

My current MacBook 13" 2011 Late is running Mavericks 10.9.4, and recently when I try to update /install apps from Mac App store errors comes up telling me  it failed to update/install apps with unknown errors.
Tried following possible solutions after some search through forums and search engines, however, still with no luck of solving this issue, hope anyone with something that would make my Mac App store to work again.
1. Change DNS (8.8.8.8).
2. Reset Application & Clear Cookies in Debug mode.
3. Remove cache.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

  • HT2731 is iTunes Store account really required for downloading and installing free Apps?

    Yes. The apps you buy are registered in your account, so you can download them in all your devices

    Almost all can be installed. Apps which might be excluded would be those that only work with iPhone hardware, etc.

  • I've changed my mail box and the adress on App Store is not updated I cannot get any new app... How could I update it too?

    My adress mail has not been updated in the App Store as I've changed it in Apple. I can't reach any new App now

    Apps you have bought are associated with your apple id and not the device you bought it from.... you just need to delete the app you are no longer using or wanting, being on your Device/iTunes on your mac... you can always re-download them at any stage if you decide you would like to use them again.. Just login to using your apple id, choose purchases and it download.

  • Deleted the App Store, did the update combo v1.1; still no App Store

    So, a long time ago I deleted the App Store. I don't know why, I just did. I'm still running Snow Leopard, but I need the App Store to install Lion.
    I looked around to try and find a solution. I did the 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 because everyone said that it would reinstall the App Store. It didn't.
    Anything else I can do? Thank you!

    Have you looked in your applications folder since you downloaded the Combo update?
    That is where it should be.   I also keep a copy in the dock, taken from the applications folder.

  • HT1338 Can't get the software update to download and install new software on iMac - what am I doing wrong?

  • Everytime I open Firefox it asks me to download a new version and install new plugins.

    I do this and yet when I turn my computer on the next day, it asks me to do it again. Also clicking on Update the plug in produces a Adobe Security Bulletin webpage but it's just a black page. Also, everytime I sign in to Yahoo mail, it asks me to install the Yahoo Mozilla add-on, even though I've installed it everyday for the last few days. Thanks.

    hello, could you go to the
    *firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information'',
    copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

  • Yosemite UPGRADE, Apps that I try to update fail with the message that connection to App Store failed, then i get a message that the updates were purchased by another user ID or purchase cancelled. All five updates have this error

    AFTER I UPGRADED TO YOSEMITE, I TRIED TO UPDATE THE FIVE APPS THAT I WAS BEING NOTIFIED NEEDED UPGRADING (IMOVIE, IPHOTO ETC). I TRIED TO UPDATE VIA THE APP STORE BUT GOT A MESSAGE "UPGRADE NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS APPLE ID BECAUSE IT WAS EITHER BOUGHT BY A DIFFERENT USER OR THE ITEM WAS REFUNDED OR CANCELLED." I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM SIGNING ON TO ICLOUD OR ANY OF THE OTHER SERVICES USING MY APPLE ID, I ALSO CHANGED THE PASSWORD AT THE PROMPTING. SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT MEANS. WHAT CAN I DO TO UPDATE MY APPLICATIONS?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • Can't update iPhoto in Mac App store or Software update... Help!

    I am stuck in iPhoto 9.1.5  Using Lion iPhoto purchased through mac app store.  Please help me

Maybe it's just a bug, Mac App Store seems a Beta to me for how laggy and buggy it is. Usually when it says something about another account it's 'cause you have pirated software and the App Store receipt inside it is indeed connected to another account, making it impossible to download the update. If that's your case what you have to do is to right click on iPhoto and select "show package content", open the "Content" folder and delete the "_MASReceipt" folder inside it, now the update will show up on Software Update.
    A user posted on another site a way to solve this.
    It worked for me, hope it helps.
