Mac App Store: impossible to download the application
Hello,
I have a problem during the process of downloading/installing any application in the Mac App Store. Particularly, it appears a windows with this advice "Impossible to download the application. Impossible to run the installation." First a download bar appears for a fraction of second. And there is a red advice also, near the INSTALL button "An error occurred". I am on Mac OS X 10.7.3. Attached: console screen and mac app store screen.
Does anyone have any idea?
Hi...
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
If you have any third party apps installed such as Little Snitch, Growl, FruitMenu or APE (Application Enhancer); any one or more can prevent apps from downloading.
If none of the above applies, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) may help. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.3
Third-party software that alters your system, such as FruitMenu or APE (Application Enhancer), may cause these issues.

App Store: impossible to download the application
Hello,
I have a problem during the process of downloading any application in the App Store. The problem occurs when I download the updates, not when I download a new application. Particularly, it appears a windows with this advice "Impossible to download the application. Impossible to find the URL on this server." And a red advice also, near the update button "An error occurred".
Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem?Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Now go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
Move the NetworkInterfraces.plist file from the System Configuratin folder the Trash.
Retart your Mac.

i have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??
If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc. -
i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.
Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to. Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).

I get the message "Install Adobe Flash" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is the first time I have gotten the message. What do I need to do?
Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".
This screenshot is taken on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), so it may look slightly different if you're on a different OS X version.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

I upgraded MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) to yosemite. I have no more access to Finder, App Store and some apps. Since I have no access to App Store I cannot download the missing parts. How can I get access to App Store?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file. -
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. -
I purchased an app when I had my iPhone 4s. I went to the app store to re download the app and I was charged for the app again after I downloaded the app.
IPhone and iPad have different formats. You would have to purchase the iPad version. This isn't true of all apps, some work on both iPad and iPod/iPhone (like most games).

Some programs do not run: update software, mac App Store, Calendar, ibooks.V the same time, the program iTunes, iPhoto and other work normally. What to do?
Hello JohnnyChin95,
You absolutely can just reinstall OS X Mavericks without having to erase and install. The steps to do that are almost the same as the only thing you do differently is that you do not go to Disk Utility to erase the drive. Just go to the Reinstall OS X option and pick your Hard Drive and follow the on screen instructions to get it going. Check out the article below for the step by step process.

The apps on mac apps store not resumable download
I have bought hitman,,,, it take 20 GB of the apps,,,, i downloaded 4, 5 to 7 GB then i stop it,,, next time i open mac apps store, why download start from the first?
You have system sounds muted. The button just above the volume control on the upper right hand side of your iPad can mute system sounds, OR it can lock screen orientation. Move it up to see what you've got it set as (you'll see a box in the middle of the screen that tells you). If you have lock screen orientation selected, double tap hour home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). With your finger, swipe the task bar apps all the way to right, revealing a mute icon on the far left side. Touch it and you'll turn system sounds back on.

does anyone know what to do ?
The apps in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices, iPhones, iPads, etc. The apps in the Mac App Store are for Macs. Apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs. Apps for Macs do not run on iOS devices. Your purchases in the iTunes App Store will never show up in the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. They are two different versions of apps for two different operating systems. If a developer has developed a version for both platforms they must be purchased separately.

While upgrading Kindle from Mac App Store I get the message 'The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.' How can I fix it?
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion. -
I can not find applications "viber " and "tango" in mac app store .
I am running snow leopard
James....
You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements
