Mac app store 'an error has occured'

Hello,
I've seen quite a lot of discussions similar to my question but I haven't found any answer yet.
Yesterday I bought 'Empire: Total War gold' on the mac app store.
I got a few errors concerning too little harddisk space but after freeing up to around 20 gb(!!) the download continued.
Now, when I try installing the game from within the app store it says 'waiting' for a few seconds and eventually I get the error
'Empire: Total War - Gold Edition failed to download.   Use the Purchases page to try again'
Next to the install button there is written 'an error has occured'
I already tried:
- logging out and back in
- restarting computer
- deleting cookies from apple store
- turning off firewall
Non of these worked.
Some help here would very much be appreciated.
Kind regards

Ok...
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo reinstalls the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.3
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
Launch the App Store and try downloading that game.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select the app you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.

  • Mac app store "an error has occurred" and greyed out button for download

    I'm trying to download an app in the mac app store.
    It's got stuck and nothing seems to get it going again.
    I get "an error has occurred" and the button along side is grey.
    If I click the button it does a little animated click and nothing happenes.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Run Console to check the recent logs for more details (look for com.apple.installd).
    In example, I had something like:
    com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.installd[69518]) Job appears to have crashed: Abort trap: 6
    ReportCrash[69520]: Saved crash report for installd[69518] version 332 to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/installd_2014*.crash
    And when checked backtrace under System Diagnostic Reports, there is something like:
    Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: incomprehensible archive
    So it's possible that update files were corrupted. Try to remove these files and re-try again.
    See: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4234582
    From Terminal check if you've temporary files here:
        ls -la /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore
    And then try to remove them (you may backup them first just in case):
        rm -frv /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore
    Or eventually run Finder and go to: /private/var/folders and Trash all the folders (if something bad happens, restore it from your Trash).
    And re-try again.
    Removing all the folders from /private/var/folders it actually fixed the problem on my laptop.

  • HT202159 Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work

    Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work. Tried to re download, but it states code has already been used

    Danielle...
    From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed internet) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • Mac App Store Download Error

    I was downloading an app and then had to pause it then start it then pause it again. Now it can't download at all and next to the download button are the words "an error has occured" in red. I have tried restarting the computer, signing in and signing out, hiding the app then unhiding it, and still the error is still there and when I click download it says error has occured after a few seconds when it says "waiting".
    I don't know what else I can do. Any suggestions?

    There are two ways to recover from this condition.
    1. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.
    2. Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app you're trying to install. There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download.

  • Cannot install LCCS Navigator AIR app - "Sorry, an error has occurred"

    I am unable to install the LCCS "SDK Navigator Application" from the LCCS Developer portal. When I try to run the AIR installer, I get the following error message:
    Sorry, an error has occurred.
    This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured. Please contact the application author for assistance.
    /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/Info.plist shows my AIR "CFBundleVersion" is "2.6.0.19140".

    Hi Brian,
    I did try to install LCCS Navigator AIR app on the version of AIR runtime you specified, and did not hit any issues.
    Can you give us more details such as OS version, are you updating or installing the app. Also can you try a clean install too.
    Thanks

  • Can't Download Apps - Says 'Unknown Error has occurred(2001).'

    I want to get a free app and every time I try to get a free or paid app, it gives me this crap:
    *We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (2001).*
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
    Any possible way to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had the same error. I found a solution on another forum that helped me.
    Click on "sign in" at the top right of iTunes store
    Fill in all the info and agree to the terms
    Now it should work
    I believe I perviously got the error because I mistakenly tried to download apps without having even signed in to iTunes properly.
    The post I found is here:

  • Mac App Store: Your session has timed out. Try again.

    Whenever i try to do anything in the Mac AppStore, i get the message Your session has timed out. Try again.
    I tried with and without two step verification. It all runs on a MacBook Pro and Yosemite - no updates available in the store to install. Updates, although with a workaround do install, weirdly enough.
    I am sorry if this question was asked before. Also the search here does not work today for me. Start feeling like i am using windows ME again…
    This is getting really frustrating.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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.

  • Error message when trying to download from Mac App Store

    When I try to download an app in the Mac App Store I get an error message:  "We could not complete your purchase.  Error Unknown."  Sometimes it says: "There is an error in the Mac App Store".  This has been going on for a couple of days now.  I have tried signing out of the Mac App Store, logging out of my User Account, and then signing back in, as has been suggested in other threads.  But that did not work. 
    Suggestions? 

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers.

  • About Mac App Store?

    I Have an Application on My Computer that I Use it's Called Pixelmator & I Bought it on The Mac App Store a few month's ago when they 1st released The Apple Mac App Store & now Pixelmator needs an Update cause it say's it in The Mac App Store but when I Go to Update it, it say's that i should try again, there is an error, message comes on is what i mean so i go to search it in The Mac App Store & i'm not able to find it? I Think they Removed it from The Mac App Store, can they do that? Pixelmator does have an Update cause it say's it in MacUpdate probably The Update to be Lion Compadible? but right now it's hard to update it cause MacUpdate only leads me to The Mac App Store cause it has The Apple Logo, so is Pixelmator really Removed from The Mac App Store? are they allowed to delete software on there if they wanted to? & why would they? & is it a bad thing to ask this question cause of the fact that maybe there are Rules & Policy's on The Mac App Store that I Don't know about that I Don't see? what should I Do?

    Well, yes, there are rules for the App Store and yes, they can stop offering something or if they offer a newer version, your old one won't update because they won't offer it any more. There is a downside to using the app store: stuff is only available as long as it is showing there.
    So, I just did a search there and you are right: there are no results. So, the only thing I can think of is for you to go to the website of Pixelmator and ask them about it.
