HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the Mac App Store?

I cannot update apps, or download Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
Never experienced this before.

I need to clarify the problem:
software update returns:
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

Can't download anything from the Mac App Store.

I haven't had to download an App from the MAS in a while but i do vaguely remember having this problem before. When i go to install the app (Mavericks in this case) it comes up on my purchased list, but when i click Download it will seemingly do nothing. Looking at my Launchpad of current downloads, it is there but it has a greyed out icon which indefinitely says 'downloading'.
I've tried everything i've seen suggested on other threads, deleting the caches, deleting storeagent etc. Nothing has worked and it's pretty irritating.

why do i get the purchase cannot be completed message when i try to install mav from my app store..
sorry to interupt, iv already made 2 posts about this and was curious what might be the problem?

I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

No...and in fact there are several disadvantages (notably the easy ability of updating).
If you have the choice between a regular (real) license and an App Store license, buy the real thing…the App store is a problem...

Why can't I download anything from the App Store?

I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.

I can't download Mavericks from the Mac App Store

I can't download Mavericks, I don't know if the Apple's server are full but Mac App Store show me an error when I try to upgrade my MacbookPro Retina, just sometimes the download starts and It stops at 358 mg and after it give me the error.
How I can solve the problem ?

Thanks for the link, Niel. I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together. It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

How do I download XCode4 from the Mac App store

I initially posted this at the Developer forums, but I chose the wrong forum to post in, and so I was directed here.
Original message
It failed a few times during the download but when I restarted it it started again from where it left off. This was good.
However the last time it failed it changed something as when I retry it now it starts from scratch.
It took me about 3 days to almost complete the download so I don't think I am going to successfully download a 4.5gigs XCode file
without any download interruptions.
I have tried copying the pkg in Library/Application Support/App store so that I can get it to start from where it left off. However whatever I try it always seems to go back to 0 bytes when resume is clicked. This is a trick I learnt in Firefox that I used when downloading previous XCode versions(xcode3). However this does not work for me.
Thank you

Does the app store use the http protocol for the download? If true then I should see problems with resuming downloads in other applications(eg firefox). I don't see those problems.
How often does the app store commit the data saved so far. Or what size download chunks does the app store save? 100k 1MB 10MB?
I have tried to resume when I had >1 Mbye saved, and it just started from 0.
Next message
I have just tried downloading xcode3 from developer.apple.com using firefox, and the resume in firefox works fine, even after a firefox restart.
The app downloader had over 4gigs worth of data saved, then there must have been some problem, then the amount of data saved must have gone back to 0.
How does the app downloading program decide to zero out the saved file data? Is there any way to inflence this or somehow make manual backups, like I could with firefox.
I do have broadband, but its a slow broadband. I did have to reenter my username and password a few times during the download process, probably because there was some sort of cookie expiry happening. However this worked fine. However something went wrong at the end. maybe it was because I clicked the retry in the pop up, rather than the retry next to the app store download progress bar.
If there was a flag or something that said whether or not to resume or retry from scratch then I could maybe edit that and it would help.
What happens now is that when I click pause, the data is written to the .pkg file, which is correct.
However when I click resume the file size immediately goes back to zero.

I tried it again, and this time when I resumed it lost about 10Mbytes, so I guess this means that the app store downloader saves its data every 10MBytes.
I will try downloading the whole thing again(XCode4) and just hope that this time I can get the whole download before it decides to wipe out what it has already downloaded.

Can't download Lion from the Mac App Store. It says the computer doesn't have the correct processor, yet it does.

User error; didn't read correctly that it said "Intel Core Duo" for the 'About this Mac'. All set, sorry!

It would help if you provide all the error information. Sounds to me like you may not meet all the requirements:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Reinstalling apps from the mac app store?

I am having a terrible time loading xcode 4.1
It fails everytime and when I visit the app store it says "installed"
I would love to re down load it.
Worked fine until Lion

Hi Winston,
I've also made a copy of the Applications, Library, System and Users folders from the first drive to a third internal drive, just in case.
The Mac App Store is probably seeing the Apps on your 3rd Drive hence they are already installed.
In addition I have some iWork and iLife apps that came from a disc and not the Mac App store, I understand instead of reinstalling from the discs I can download them from the Mac App store, can you tell me how I do this please.
The other Apps from the disc will have to be purchased from MAS if you want them linked to the store. Apps installed from discs aren't recognized by MAS. Hope this helps.

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.
