Is the Mac App Store down ? / Fan Speed, CPU Temp problem ?

I tried to enter the App Store, this dialog box came up:
I had to reinstall my OS and programs as things started to go "Haywire". Would have this affected the App Store program on my mac ?
When thing went "Haywire" I noticed the fan running very fast. While I was reinstalling the OS from TC the fan was still running fast for about 15 minutes.
I did a screen shot of iStat Pro to show that the fan went up to 5,485 RPM and the CPU got to 79 Degrees Celcius.
Could this have damaged anything { Software / Hardware } ?
I know I may be a bit paranoid about this, but I have spent a lot of money on my mac and want to take every precaution to make it last as long as possible.

UPDATE
I was in the middle ( 567 MB ) of downloading the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Supplemental Update when my mac "crashed". When I restarted the download had gone 'pear shaped'.
I clicked on the App Store icon in the Dock and the App Store opened with no problems.
While I was trying to download the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Supplemental Update the fan was still going fast ( around 4900 RPM )
This still has me worried, but I will see how things go before sending it in to be looked at.

Keynote 6 is down to 3-stars at the Mac App Store

As of this post, the 1-star reviews of Keynote 6 are approaching the 5-star reviews in quantity at the Mac App Store.
The overall average is down to 3-stars.
So... progress.

I think it's only going to let you review it if you've got Keynote 6 installed, which I don't recommend doing. That means Mavericks is up and running, and Keynote 6 has been lownloaded and installed.
If you go that route, do NOT delete 5.3! You'll want to come back to it later.

How do I install snow leopard from the email/pdf Apple sent me if I dont have the Mac App store?

I need to update my Mac to snow leopard. I purchased it online, and they sent me an email with the redemption code. The instructions say I have to redeem it from the Mac App Store, but since you have to have Snow Leopard or higher to get the Mac App Store, I don't know how to redeem my purchase....please help.

You have half of the equation. Buy Snow Leopard and when the DVD arrives you use it to upgrade your Leopard system or erase the drive and install a clean copy of Snow Leopard. If you decide to do the former then be sure you use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If you choose the latter do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Featured icon in the toolbar. On the right below Quick Links you will see the Redeem link. Click on it to redeem Mountain Lion.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer. See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
Options if you cannot upgrade: iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there. Backup your device directly to iCloud over a wireless connection. Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

Don't want the Mac App Store

I'm one of those rare fruit (Mac) users who doesn't care for itunes or anything of the sort (I'm really not a Mac fan; I got the computer because I can abuse it more and have it still function with the solid state hard drive). I hate seeing updates for itunes. I imagine the Mac App Store is similar (although for the OS), and I don't want it. How do I install 10.6.6 without installing the Mac App Store?
Also, I read in another thread that a fruit can hibernate. How would I do this? I hate the battery drain when I put it to sleep, and frequently have a bunch of stuff open because I'm completing a long project, like a 60+ page paper that takes me multiple days, if not multiple weeks to complete. Thanks.

That's a good idea (leaving it plugged in all the time) aside from the fact that I'm cheap as heck. Being poor has something to do with it since I'm a grad student. When I'm not using my printer, can opener, toaster, etc. I unplug them or turn them off. Because of this, during the summer I'm able to have electric bills under 20 dollars a month for my apt. I used to even turn of my router every night when I wasn't using it but got fed up with resetting it every time. I also don't use air conditioning and live in KY (my asthmatic lungs react better to heat with humidity than dryness, and to save $). I know - I'm completely different than the norm, but I get by with my quirks. How much do you think it would cost me extra a year to leave my computer plugged in and "sleeping" every night?
If I go into itunes with the preferences, could I make it so itunes never looks for updates? Thanks again.

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

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.

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.

Aperture in the Mac App Store

Hi
I'm considering getting Aperture from the Mac App Store due to its appealing price of 44.99 pounds
However, i want to wait a little while before I get it, but Im worried the price may go up
Does anyone know if this is an introductory price, or if apple will raise the price in a few weeks maybe? I'm hoping I can buy it a few month down the line for the same price
Thanks
Andy

Since this is a user-to-user forum, no one here will know the answer for sure on that one.

Bookmarks in the Mac App Store

I don't know if Apple actually views these questions or not but if they do I'd like to suggest a feature in the Mac App Store: a bookmarks feature/wishlist. I'd like to bookmark certain apps that I don't have the funds to buy at the moment. Many times while browsing the apps I find ones that I'd like to purchase but can't due to lack of funds at that time, so a bookmarks feature or a wishlist would be very handy. I haven't found this feature in there ( or I'm blind ) so it would be neat to be able to do this. Otherwise I'll have to "Tell a friend" to my own e-mail every time or type it down in a Text Edit- document just to keep track of the apps I want. It would be much better to have them all listed in a sidebar or similar.
What are the views on this suggestion?
/Michael

I was going to ask that same question. It would be nice to have a wishlist feature in the Apps store. I keep a separate document with a list of all my purchased and downloaded Apps and my "must-haves" Apps.
Also maybe some Cloud support for all my downloaded Apps would be nice too
Hopefully these would be in the works

Just did the Mac App Store update and now MBP won't boot?!

I just did the Mac App Store software update that required a restart and on bootup it just hangs at the spinning wheel and I can't get anywhere. I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that hasn't helped. Any ideas here? I can't believe that update toasted my MBP!
And I tried unplugging all my drives from it as well.

Were you trying to install Mavericks? What do you see when you restart your Mac with the Option key held down? Does it indicate the boot volumes is Mavericks or your previous system? If it's Mavericks boot into the Revovery volume and try reiinstalling from there.

How do I use my Itunes credit on the Mac App store

I have a credit in iTunes which I wish to use to buy some apps on the Mac App store. However it doesnt seem to be taking that payment method. How do I solve this?

iTunes and the Mac App Store are the same account and credits redeemed for one are available for the other. The issue may be that you have not allowed for the sales tax that the US store applies in the final steps of a sale. US prices do not yet have the local sales tax added. If the credit does nt cover the total the sustem will ask for another payment method to cover the remaining balance.

HT203421 How do I get iphone apps in the mac app store? Also, my apps from my iphone will not sync to my mac. Why is this?

I've had my iphone 4 for a couple years, but I've recently purchased a new macbook air. For some reason, I do not have the option of syncing my apps from my iphone to itunes. I am currently running ios 6 on my phone, but I don't want to update until the apps are backed up to the computer. How do I resolve this? Also, is there a way to download and/or update iphone apps from the mac app store?

Connect the iPhone and iTunes will open automatically. Then, go to iTunes menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, and all the content downloaded from the App Store and the iTunes Store will be transferred to the MacBook. Note that in iTunes 11 you can choose the iPhone at the top right part of your iTunes window.
The Mac App Store is used to download Mac OS X apps, and the App Store is used to download apps for iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. You can't download apps for iPhone from the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download them from iTunes or from the iPhone
