  • 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 can't download anything on the Mac App store. It says This Apple ID cannot be used for the Mac App Store.

    I can't download anything on the Mac App store. It says This Apple ID cannot be used for the Mac App Store.

    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!

  • Can't buy/download anything from the Mac App Store

    Anyone has the problem of not being able to buy anything from the Mac App Store. It is extremely annoying. It does not show any error messages. When I click on the "Buy App" icon it does't go anywhere. its so annoying and disappointing. Tried it from two computers, mac pro and macbook pro.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that?

    I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that

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

  • 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...

  • Can i share freeware from the mac app store?

    I have a friend who can't access the mac app store (it just hangs). He's asked me if I can download an app for him (the app is free for a limited time). Is this against T&C's and is it even technically possible (i.e. would it even open on his mac, would it be tied to my account)?

    If you download it, it will be tied to your account. You would have to give him your AppleID and password--not a good idea.
    As I read the agreement, you can only install on computers you own/control--even if it is free.

  • 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.

    - I STILL HAVE UPDATES!
    HELP!

    Not the OP, but I've been having this problem since June (with the exact same error), and logging out and back in hasn't helped.
    Helpfully, the store app opens a pop-up every 2 weeks or so to let me know that there are updates I can't access. It's super annoying.

  • How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

    I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

    HI Judy...
    You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
    Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.
