Mac App Store Download Not Working

I am so fed up with the Mac app store - not my first time having a problem with - Apple I hope you're reading this, I've been loyal to you since 1991 and you come out with crap buggy products like that mac app store! So frustrated! Get your act together!
I bought an app, it's 6.81 GB. It was downloading, I ran out of HD space at like 5 GB. Ok, no worries, cleared some stuff out. Then the app store was stuck on the "waiting" status, I killed it, and cleared all the caches with:
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Now the piece of ****, every time the download gets to 5 GB, oh wait, it just automatically goes to 0 MB and starts over again!
Apple what the **** is going on??? It's like every other time I buy something from the app store you can't even write a piece of software that can do a download!

I bought an app, it's 6.81 GB. It was downloading, I ran out of HD space at like 5 GB.
There's not enough available space on the hard drive to install a 6.81GB file.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space. Never less.
OSX Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
Very important to keep track of available space. Not enough and at some point you won't be able to boot your Mac.
The user is responsible for keeping track of disk space, not Apple.

After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store

After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store. Kindly Help

Also having that problem - I checked and I am connected to internet (can access other websites or other pages in Apple's website), can login from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Mac App Store there, but if I use the (external) drive with ML to start up, no go.
I can get to the "Featured"/initial MAS page, and tried going to the login from there, but same problem as Mitoshacer.
In my case, MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB external with ML - vs. 320GB internal drive with 10.6.8), March/April 2009 model. Have done searches for the problem online, but nothing shows up (except some for older OS X versions).

Mac app store is not working

I thought my Macbook was up to date because I programmed it so that the updates would get downloaded automatically but I have just realized my Mac is behind by a long run. My version is only 10.6.8 and when I recently tired to access mac app store the computer just says that the app store says its not working for the moment. But its never working!

Actually both the App and iTunes Stores were down for a bit > App Store and iTunes Store Currently Down for Some Users [Updated] - Mac Rumors
v10.6.8 is the the farthest you can go on Snow Leopard.
If you want to upgrade to a newer OS X, check the requirements first.
v10. 7 Lion > OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
v10.8 Mountain Lion > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
or v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
Lion and Mountain Lion can purchased from the Apple Store:
OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store
OS X (10.8) Mountain Lion - Apple Store
Mavericks is free and available for download at the App Store.
If you can install Mavericks, good to read this user tip beforehand > What you need for Mavericks, OS X 10.9: Apple Support Communities

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: launch, loading dependent libraries
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_CalUICalendarInfoViewController
Referenced from: /Applications/Calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/Calendar
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.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

Thanks.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

Why app store is not working without card details

My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
i MADE a new one .

What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID

I just updated to the new software and now my app Store is not working It is just a white blank page

I just updated the new software and now my app store will not work I have shut it down and opened up again and nothing just a blank white page ?

I'm having a similar problem.
New iPad with iOS6 just downloaded.
I cannot purchase any new items from the new Apple Store now!
It keeps asking me to fill in CC details, asking for security number, but stays red when i fill in the 3 numerals and when I click done I get a Time Out message.
This is not good Apple!!
Looks as if I will have to use my iPad One to purchase from the Apple Store.

MY APP STORE IS NOT WORKING.HOW TO ACTIVATE IT?

MY APP STORE IS NOT WORKING.HOW TO ACTIVATE IT?

Hi sahaabhijeet,
The resource below explains how to use the App Store on your iPhone:
App Store Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2001
The App Store is a place where you can download new applications for your iPhone or iPod touch. You can browse the App Store on your computer with iTunes, or by tapping App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Do I need to sign up for a new account to shop the App Store?
If you already have an iTunes Store account, you can shop the App Store. If you do not have an iTunes Store account, you can create one using iTunes. Verify that the country flag at the bottom of the iTunes Store home page displays your country, then choose Store > Create Account. Click here for a way to set up an iTunes App Store account without a credit card. You can also create an iTunes Store account directly from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by following these instructions.
Accepted payment types
Shopping the App Store requires an iTunes Store account. When you create an iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method for your purchase. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use credit cards, gift cards, store credit, or PayPal.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells applications, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices are listed in either US Dollars or Euros.
What can I purchase from the App Store?
At the App Store, you can browse and download applications for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Applications from the App Store can be downloaded to, but not used on, your computer. To use an application from the App Store, simply sync it to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The App Store is also available on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch1 and works over mobile phone networks and Wi-Fi, so you can download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly.
To use applications or the App Store with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you must have iOS 2.0 or later installed on your iPhone or iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 or later on iPad.
Some applications are not available in all countries. Application availability and pricing are subject to change.
Cheers,
Judy

The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad

The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad
Today When I tried to open the app store on my ipad I found out that's the store is not working,,, It's giving me the loading screen like for ever without any error message. So I tried my Macbook and my iphone and it was the same,,,, I thought it was from the connection so I tried several different connections and It was the same.
Any Idea what is going on with the app store ?

The App Store app on your iPhone in your iPad is a different App Store than the app store app on your Mac. You use the same account for both app stores. So I would guess that the real issue is perhaps something to do with your Home Network. You might try rebooting your modem/router. Also, turn off any antiviral software, firewalls or apps such as Little Snitch.

My app store is not working why?, my app store is not working why?

hy
i want to now why i my itunes and app store is not working?and how can i send data from laptop to my iphone4?
one more thing is that why safari cannot download any thing from web?

Not sure what you mean by "not working" so without further information it's difficult to make a suggestion. As a shot in the dark.....
Sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store, restart the iPad and sign in again.
Or ....You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
