Mac app store error when downloading small apps

The mac app store fails to download any app that is 1-7 mb in size. But it works fine with large app downloads

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • APP Store Error when downloading Mavericks

    I am unable to download Mavericks from the App store.
    I see the following message in my Console:
    3/20/14 9:31:54.696 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
    3/20/14 9:31:54.717 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
    I have tested my Apple userID and password … it's ok.
    I am running 10.7.5 on a Apple MacPro 5.1
    one other piece of information:  I was able to initiate the download 2 days ago, but my internet connection failed and I had to reboot. I have been uable to resume or re-initiate the download/upgrade to Mavericks since.
    Thanks in advance.

    Step 1
    Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app "Install OS X Mavericks." There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download, then try again
    Step 2
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

    Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

    I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
    The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
    I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

  • Apple ID has been verified but getting ID/password error when downloading app

    Apple ID has been verified on Apple ID site - but getting ID/password error when downloading app.

    Hi Wantedhelp,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If you are having trouble logging in to the App store on your iPad, I would first suggest you restart the device.
    Then go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click “Manage your Apple ID,” and try to sign in with your Apple ID. If you are unable to sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.
    Then in the iTunes & App Store settings, sign out of your account, sign back in and try to purchase or redownload the app again.

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • Error when downloading large SharePoint document using REST API

    Hello,
    The following code works fine for small files, but I got "SCRIPT14: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation." error when downloading files over 100M.
    Is it possible to write the data directly to a local storage (IndexedDB for example) instead of keeping it in memory?
            var getFileEndpoint = String.format(
                 "{0}/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('{1}')/$value?@target='{2}'",
                 _SPAppWebUrl, _DocumentUrl, _SPHostUrl);
            var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(_SPAppWebUrl);
            var info = {
                url: getFileEndpoint,
                method: "GET",
                //binaryStringResponseBody: true,
                success: function (data) {
                    //Save data to IndexedDB
                error: function (err) {
                    //Error handling
            executor.executeAsync(info);
    Since my page is located in a SharePoint Hosted App, I can't use XMLHttpRequest directly to access the document in the host site. Seems like the MS cross-domain library is the only choice to me.
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to download the content of files into database in SharePoint Hosted App.
    In SharePoint Hosted App, as we can only use JavaScript which is supposed to be executed in browser, the content retrieved will be stored in memory then to the local hard drive.
    As a workaround, I suggest you develop a Provider Hosted App and do the same job there instead. In Provider Hosted App, we can use C# to handle the file downloading which should
    be more appropriate in your scenario.

  • I received the error when downloading, An unkown error occurred (-50), but it is not my network, that is working properly

    I received the error when downloading, it says An unknown error occurred (-50), which seems to indicate a network fault but my network is fine.

    HAD AN ERROR WHEN DOWNLOADING QUICKTIME THIS MORNING NOW ITUNES SAY ITS CLOSED ???    RUNNING VISTA

    Found the solution! Hooray!
    Noticed a suggestion on this thread:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11731496#11731496
    To look in the ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile\ Backups folder to find the Manifest.plist folder, and delete entries for apps that might be causing the problem.
    I remembered that a little while ago, I had started getting an error message while syncing and updated app (Sleepmaker or something- couldn't remember which, precisely, but knew that it was a white noise app). So, I went to the Manifest.plist folder, and removed the entries for the couple different flavors of the Sleepmaker app that I had installed.
    Then, reconnected the iPhone, and clicked "Continue Restore" once again when it reported that there had been an interrupted restore. This time, it went through fully! Took quite a while (~1 hr) to copy all my media onto the phone, but now it's all there! Hopefully this will help others who might in the same situation...
