Mac app store doesn't memorize partial download

Hi, this isn't a real discussion but i want a confirmation about the problem written in object.
This morning i became downloading a game, then i lost the connection and when it is returned i had to restart the download.
This thing is not a problem with little program, but with big files isn't the top!
I hope that with ML apple fixes this problem.
Thank you everybody.

It may depend on your download speeds. Large files can, "time out" before the download completing.
Check your download speed here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
And from the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
The amount of time it takes to download your purchase will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed.
Just as an example, check out the information for the iTunes Store >  iTunes Store: Download times will vary
It's not an Apple issue. Contact your ISP. Maybe you can upgrade your service.

  • TS2951 I have a laptop (2010) with Lion OS and tried to install Mavericks and part way through the installation it quit and reverted back to Lion and the app store doesn't let me download Mavericks again

    I have a laptop (2010) with Lion OS and tried to install Mavericks and part way through the installation it quit and reverted back to Lion and the app store doesn't let me download Mavericks again. How can I resolve this?

    Is your data backed up?

  • Mac App Store won't allow re-downloading of deleted apps

    I am experiencing very glitchy behaviour with the Mac App Store.  The store can't tell when individual apps are deleted, and therefore won't allow re-download.  This has been going on for a while - when I click on the Purchases tab all Apps are still listed as Installed and the button is greyed out - I can't click to re-download.  At the same time, an app that I previously did download and later removed called Cobook won't delete from the computer - after a few minutes to an hour it will re-appear in my Applications folder.
    I have done a clean re-install of Mountain Lion trying to fix this problem, however the same problem exists even after a re-install - Apps that had been deleted prior to the clean install are still greyed out in the Purchases tab, and can't be re-downloaded.  The only way that Apps can be re-installed is to use Time Machine backup.  I am concerned that this means that updates also aren't working, since the App Store doesn't seem to know what Apps are on my computer and which ones aren't.
    Yes I am using the correct Apple ID assocaited with the purchases.  My purchase history shows up just fine in the Purchases tab, its just that they are stuck showing that they are currently installed, even the ones that aren't.
    Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 21.5" iMac (mid-2011).

    The problem is possibly worse than I expected.  Since the clean re-install, now any App purchased and downloaded via App Store won't appear in the Purchases tab.  So in other words, although the download seems to work correctly, and the app works, the App Store seems to lose all track of it.  Which is a problem for paid apps.

  • Mac App Store doesn't work.

    Some of the apps that came with the computer, including Mac App Store and Calendar, has problems while launching and they quit themselves very soon after.
    I cannot update software because as I said, the Mac App Store does not work.
    Here is a part of the error report it gives when I open Calendar.:
    Exception Type:  EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
    Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
    Application Specific Information:

    Dyld Error Message:

      Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CalendarUI.framework/Versions/A/CalendarUI
    in /Applications/Calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/Calendar
    It gives the same error on the app store as well.
    Please help me if you can. Thank you.

  • Mac App Store doesn't recognise my Apple ID as I had a hard drive replaced. Any ideas?

    I've just tried to access Mac App Store but it doesn't recognise my Apple ID. It's fine when I signed in to this forum and on my purchases of iTunes on my Mac but not App Store. Also, can't download iCloud, it's showing MobileMe.

    Yes - that's correct.
    I did attempt Apple’s Internet Recovery system, but that failed dramatically, as I couldn't get an Internet connection or get to the Apple logo when pressing Command and R keys at the startup.
    This evening I visited the Apple Store and installed the OS via Apple's Network using a RJ45 cable.
    Thanks all for your responses.

  • Starting an hour ago, the Mac App Store says I need to download Lion 10.7.4 again.  Anyone else?

    I am currently running Mac OS 10.6.8 with all updates on a Mac Mini (3,1--the model with 5 USB ports).  Previously, I purchased, downloaded, but did NOT install Lion 10.7.3.  Yesterday, I successfully downloaded 10.7.4 via the Mac App Store, but as before I didn't install it (planning to do that this evening).  However, starting about an hour ago, the Mac App Store indicates that Lion has been updated and that I should download 10.7.4 -- again, apparently.  I'm using the same AppleID account (the only one I have).  Anyone else have the same experience?  Is there a 10.7.4 version 1.1?  If so, nothing in the software description mentions it...

    This answer sidesteps my question.  I'm aware that I could have upgraded from 10.6.8 to my previously downloaded 10.7.3 and then updated to 10.7.4 using the smaller updaters (I would favor using the Combo).  But since the 10.7.3 FileVault security issue directly applied to me, I wanted to upgrade straight to 10.7.4, where it was addressed.  Also, since my internet connection is quite fast, taking 15 minutes to redownload all of it again was not a deal-breaker for me.  Interestingly, the instance of 10.7.4 I downloaded last night is 25 bytes longer than the 10.7.4 I downloaded the day before.  Performing a 'diff -ra' within 'Terminal' between the two instances of the 10.7.4 Installer app revealed that the changes are confined to a single file within: 'Install Mac OS X Lion.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt', and that they look like timestamp differences, so I'm now guessing that the two instances are functionally identical...

  • Mac App Store doesn't show OS X updates

    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion in July, the Mac App Store has stopped showing updates for OS X. It shows normal app updates like Evernote but it didn't notify me for the 10.8.1, the 10.8.2 and the recent Supplemental Update. This happens even after days that the updates are released. I discovered that there were updates available from news sites.
    I contacted Apple Support but I was quite rudely shut up. The guy at the phone told me that "this is normal" and that Apple "is not obliged" to issue a notification for all the system updates. I told him that all my Mac-owners friends could download the updates from the App Store but he told me that "they were lying" to me. I was so aghast at his response that I didn't started laughing in his face as he probably deserved. I will find a way to get back to him via an official complaint to his superiors, that's for sure.
    Can anyone help me with the Mac App Store issue, anyway? Currently I'm forced to download the updates manually from Apple's site.
    Thanks in advance for the support!

    It's possible you have a problem with your system. I've had this same issue with Lion. Eventually, I bit the bullet and did a scratch reinstallation which seemed to fix things. But there may have been less invasive solutions I just did not think of or find. So you might start with the following:
    Boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Download a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner and use to clear out user, system, and font caches. Restart is immediately required.
    Reinstall OS X.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Mac App Store doesn't load the content

    I made fresh installation of OS X 10.9.1 Server but thru VNC when open App Store it is gray (without content) and also can't check for updates.I tryed to flushcache of DNSs, delete iTunes cache, Safari cache, but still doesn't work.

    This likely isn't related to DNS services, and your server should likely not be running DNS services locally other than the resolver; this assuming your server is configured on a public static IP address.
    Cache cleaning and tools that claim do that could well corrupt the environment or the operating system. 
    Other options might possibly include a network firewall or proxy issue.
    Check the logs with Console.app (Applications > Utilities), and see if there are any errors when you launch and test with the Mac App Store.
    If you've not already tried it, reboot, and try the App Store again.
    Then reboot into Safe mode, shutdown, reboot normally, and try again.
    You may end up reinstalling OS X as a test, too.  This on the off chance that the add-ons corrupted the environment, or there's some low level disk error or corruption somewhere.

  • I have an iphone 5 and my app store doesn't want to download apps

    When I go to my app store and I want to download an app, the circle just keeps moving and it doesn't ask for my password to download the app

    Hi there nathaly65,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Mac App Store Doesn't Recognize Apps

    I have a Macbook Pro which is almost three years old.  Applications like iLife and iWorks were installed on the computer long before there was the Mac Ap Store.  These apps, and others on my computer, do not show up as Instaled in the App Store so I can't update them unless I use the old Software Update or the vendor's site.  I don't want to purchase the apps again but is there any way to "register" these apps so the app store knows they are on my computer?
    Thanks,
    David

    I have iLife 11 that I purchased on disk that is installed, but the App store doesn't recognize any of the iLife apps as being installed.
    Everytime I run GarageBand it states there is a new version, but then Software Update says everything is up to date once it is run.
    I have GarageBand 6.0 (427.17) at the moment, and the newest right now is 6.0.5
    I haven't been able to update it.
    Any thoughts on this issue?

  • Mac App Store doesn't load on new 27" iMac

    I have a new 27" iMac purchased 1/31/13 loaded with Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  Everything came up fine when I got it home and I migrated data from my time machine backup from a Lion iMac.   When I tried to download software updates, the App Store came up with the message that that there was no Internet connection.  Mail and safari were connecting to the Internet just fine.  I called AppleCare and after some troubleshooting, they suggested it was an issue with my network or maybe I should reload Mountain Lion.  If that didn't work, I should go to the Apple Store and test it on their network.  Reloading Mountain Lion did nothing to fix the problem so I went to the Apple Store Genius Bar.  They told me they had had other complaints yesterday and they did not know what was causing the problem but they had tried several things with other customers by deleting cache etc.  They suggested I just wait and see if it gets fixed soon.  I am waiting but find it curious that no one else is reporting this problem on the net that I can find.  Has anyone else seen the problem or have a fix?  I will be calling AppleCare again tomorrow.

    AppleCare couldn't find a problem.  Their best guess was it was my network.  It ended up being a problem in the Time Machine backup I was restoring from.  It was bringing something over from the old iMac that was causing the problem.  I ended up doing an erase, reload of Mountain Lion and all the other software, then just taking the data from the Time Machine backup, folder by folder.  It was tedious but it worked.  I can access the App Store with no problem.  Thanks for your offer of help.

  • How to clear mac app store cache? can't download skitch

    I'm Under OS X 10.8.2
    Today I received an update about skitch. them I clicked the update button. the update process started.
    until the progress bar reached 70% it give me an error "Skitch failed to download, Use the Purchases page to try again." them I went to the Purchases page, it give me a red text waring. "an error has occurred" I clicked the INSTALL Button again. it give me the progress bar again but for about 1-2 seconds.
    the progress bar is about 80% full but reported "12.88 MB of 12.88 MB less than a minute" them the same error again "Skitch failed to download, Use the Purchases page to try again."
    Now I wonder that can I do?
    Clear the downloaded cache them try again?
    but where is the cache?
    I googled there is no Appstore folder at ~/Library/Application Support

    Hi bennlloyd1
    Actually I've tried delete all the content in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore before you told me.
    but it's not solve my problem the Skitch progress still at 80%. and could not be downloaded again or be  canceled.
    I googled for another hour... the solution is to use the activity monitor to monitor the app store's procress. download a new app to see files opend by the app store. Finially I found the location of the real caches!!!
    for me it's
    /private/var/folders/dw/w3mz6fc50z2r4qf72g79j9h0x00gn/C/com.apple.appstore
    I did rm -rf * under the folder them download again. Problem got solved!

  • Since Lion update, Mac App Store doesn't work properly

    Hi,
    with the Lion update, my problems with the app store started.
    It loads descriptions, sometimes a few pictures, sometimes nothing. and sometimes it even works fine.
    But most times, the beach ball appears and the app store freezes forever.
    otherwise the computer works fine, including the internet.
    i repaired disk permissions, and freshly rebooted. i tried everything several times.
    the itunes store works fine as well.
    (regarding other posts: i don't use bootcamp, spotlight is active, about 10GB free HD space. there are no other speed problems)
    i have a mac book air 2010, 4 GB ram.
    i'm grateful for any suggestions.
    cheers,

    Hi, thanks again.
    I reinstalled Lion (using Recovery), but the problem remains. Even worse, Apple Software Update didn't work any more. As soon as I selected something for installation (e.g. iTunes), the progress bar would show but then it used to freeze forever (internet connection was fine). I tried several times after reboot.
    The I tried a hard shutdown (holding the power key pressed), and after that, the app store was working (very slowly) and i could also install the software updates.
    However, after a normal reboot, the app store didn't work any more.
    I repeated this twice with the same result: the app store works after a hard shutdown, but not after a normal shutdown+reboot.
    Any suggestions?
