Mac App Store cannot update itunes, OS and remote desktop; keep saying it is updated and yet ask it ask you to update as in fact it is not updated
I search my problem on web and got no solution.
1) mac app store shows some updates needed. e.g. itunes, remote desktop.
2) I clicked "update", and it changes to "installed" within seconds and then shows I have installed the update.
3) But the problem is that the software is NOT updated and the "installed icon" changes back to "update" immediately.
4) the picture below shows what happened.
5) As you can see, the remote desktop is updated twice on Mar 3 and is version 3.8.2 v1.1 but the mac app store prompt me to update it.
6) I cannot update the new version of MAC OS too.
Solution:
1) Restart app or OS. >> Failed.
2) Rebuild spotlight >> Failed.
3) Genius bar >> No hope as the Genius bar is fully booked all the time (rumors that people are selling the timeslots, guess where am I?).
Can any one help me on that.
Thanks a lot.
I tried the debug mode in mac app store too >> Fail.
The first time I feel disapointing from apple software.

Why Mac App Store cannot resume broken transfer?
Everyday I start download of xcode, at the end of day it archived several hundred MBs, but the next day the download start from 0 again, it took me two weeks and I'm still trapped in this!Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Click the lock icon bottom left corner of the pane. You may be prompted for your admin password.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
Click the lock icon to prevent further changes.
Relaunch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar (top of your screen) click Store > Check for Unfinished Downnloads or follow the insstructions here > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
If you still have problems ...
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading
- Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store. -

i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do
I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

Mac App Store cannot update any app
Hello!
I have a major problem with the Mac App Store, ever since I updated to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Whenever I want to update any of my apps which I had purchased/downloaded from the App Store back in Mountain Lion, I get an error like this:
This happens with all my apps, and I really need Xcode and the iWork suite for my projects. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have already tried clearing the App Store cache by getting rid of the com.apple.appstore folder, resetting the entire app by enabling the Debug menu. Nothing doing.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

see above
This procedure is complicated, but you probably won't have to do all of it.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the issue is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If it's down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Check that the date (including the year) and time shown by your system clock are correct.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate.
Step 4
If you connect to the Internet through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy server, follow the instructions in this support article, or deselect the proxy entirely.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and test.
Step 6
Make sure Parental Controls aren't active for your account.
Step 7
Follow the instructions in this support article to change your DNS settings. If there's no change, revert the settings.
Step 8
If possible, test on a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the cellular network of your phone.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Next, select the login keychain. Delete any expired or otherwise invalid certificates.
Log out, log back in, and test.
Step 10
Launch the Activity Monitor application. Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
If not, back up all data, then triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Move all the files in the folder that opens to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 11
If you've moved to a different country, select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then click
Change Country or Region
and update your billing information. -
App store cannot install iTunes 11.1.4 - but says that it has done so
Bizarre behaviors
1. Cannot install iTunes 11.1.4 - App Store says that the update is available, but it also shows that it HAS been installed 3 times before! Actually it is NOT installed; 11.1.3 is installed.
2. When I clicked "Update" (for the fourth time in the last few weeks) nothing helpful happened, I could not access "About This Mac" and the computer eventually froze.
3. iWork - App Store says updates to the three ".1" versions (e.g. Numbers 3.1) are available, and also that they are installed. Actually they ARE all installed.turingtest2 wrote:
There is apparently a new installer that should update smoothly. On the other hand you may wish to wait for an update that has a perceived benefit, or at least until you've seen how others get on with it.

I'd mark this as a Solution, but for some reason, I often do not see the option to do that (I posted about that sometime ago, nobody could figure out why -- just another weirdity). Anyway, apparently the new build here has fixed the problem, at least for Windows Vista folks. Thanks to both turingtest2 and Eric W -
I can't buy or download anything. It keeps whining that the data is wrong, both on iPhone and iPad. It's the right info but it keeps whining about "payment method declined" or something? I dunno, some say it fixes itself after a few days. But it's been like this for a few weeks now. :/
I can't even find the f**king button to contact Apple. What the ****. :/apple should really make that clear, thats the reason i bought the points for in the first place, to get apps and the update. man this *****, ok so pretty much if i don't have a credit card then im screwed right? i can't get the update or get apps unless they are free? are there app cards or something i can buy in order to buy them? kuz i can't get a credit card and i want to get this stuff, and if im not mistaken isn't this bad? its stopping ppl from spending money on this stuff, its cutting profit, if you could use it for all of it then im sure ppl would buy them alot more, kuz its "re-donk-u-less" that they don't have an easier way to get the stuff like apps and upgrades unless you hav a credit card. idk man, is apple going to change that anytimes soon?

Mac App Store Stuck - Cannot Sign In
Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Mac OS X from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6 .
Now the App Store is installed and shown in my dock , but I can't use it because it cannot connect to iTunes Store .
When I open the Mac App Store , "Connecting to iTunes Store ..." appears after a few seconds but it really does not do any other actions .
The main problem is that I can't even sign in with my Apple ID . When I click "Sign In" from the "Store" menu , the login form appears . After entering my Apple ID and password , the loading icon appears , and the applications sticks in this situation ( nothing happens after that ) .
Maybe I should notice a few things :
* I'm sure that I have an active Internet Connection and there's no problem with it .
* I'm not using FruitMenu and similar applications ( which makes problems for App Store and are already discussed in similar topics )
* I'm not using any firewall or something similar that prevent app store from any connections .
* I already tried opening iTunes manually ( as described before ) but nothing changed .
* I tried signing in with other Apple IDs and the same error occurred .
* I can use my Apple ID in iTunes Store , Apple Developer Section , ... without any errors .
* I'm sure that I'm not making mistake in entering ID and Password .
* I was monitoring my network activity and I found out that no request or packet is being sent by App Store application through Internet ( after the application sticks in that situations )
* I quitted every other apps while doing this , but nothing changed .
* I'm using iTunes 10.1.2 and App Store 1.0 (54)
Any ideas and helps are really appreciated ... ( I really need this )
Thank YouDo you repair permissions ever?
Try downloading the Mac OS X 10.6.6 Combo and manually applying it;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
I would repair permissions before and after the installation.
Also you could use iTunes to sign into your account and reset all notifications in your account info section. After opening the iTunes Store click your Apple ID in the upper right, enter your password and view account. At the bottom of the page you will find the reset button.

Whenever I click on the Mac App Store icon in my dock, I get the spinning wheel for a minute and a half. It then loads. While in the App Store application, it takes a minute and a half to switch from "featured" to "top charts" for example. Nothing else on my 24" iMac takes that long to load. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Drag the App Store app from the Applications folder to the Trash. Drag the App Store icon off the Dock. It should go "poof"..
Download and install the v10.6.7 combo update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
That should re install the Mac App Store for you. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7
If the combo did not re install the MAS for you use Pacifist to extract the MAS from the v 10.6.7 .dmg folder. -
Cannot find Mountain Lion on the Mac App Store.
I've called the Apple Store. All I can get without paying $19.99 to talk to a real person is the automated system. Through that, I am told that Mountain Lion is available "exclusively at the Mac App Store." I can't find it anywhere! I've tried searching and the only thing that I finally get is the upgrade for Mountain Lion, Where is Mountain Lion hiding?
I think that you called Apple Care, not the Apple Store. If you are are not in the 90 free phone help or have not purchased the extended Apple warranty then it costs money to speak to Apple Care. But the Apple Store is always free to discuss purchases. 1-800-MY-APPLE
But the only version of OS X sold now in the Mac App Store (MAS) is Mavericks. To buy any previous version, you need to call the Apple Store and they sell you a redemption code that takes a day or three to get forwarded to your email from a different part of Apple.
