Mac App Store / Keynote Update Install Fails

For a month I have been receiving notifications from the Mac App Store to update Keynote to Keynote 5.3
I do, it says it is installed and then I received the same notification, repeat with same result 12 times.
What is (or isn't) going on ?
Thanks !

My apologies. Time and OSX version fly.
It is actually OS X 10.8.2
Thanks for pointing that out.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 Mac App Store will not install Mountain Lion update

    I am having an issue where I try to install the 10.8.4 update from the Mac App Store.  I click on the button and it says it needs to restart to install.  I tell it to restart and install but it does nothing.  I get the Mac App store back with it asking me to install the update again.  Looking at the infobox I see that I am still on 10.8.3.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    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
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

  • Mac App store won't install on dock after update to 10.6.8

    Hi All
    I am running OSX 10.6.8 and have tried numerous times to get the App store icon to install...I am at the point of pulling my hair out, I'm so frustrated.  I've installed the 10.6.8 update combo....
    I've got 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, and 4GB macbook pro
    I want to be able to upgrade to Lion, but of course need the App Store icon to get it!
    Any help will be great! 
    Thanks!

    Thanks Matthew,
    Its not in the Applications folder, and all I have on the Apple Menu is;
    About this Mac
    Software Update
    Mac OS X Software
    System Pref, dock etc
    I don't have the App Store in the Apple Menu at all..
    Any other suggestions?

  • Mac App Store showing already installed updates

    Hello there,
    Mac App Store shows me often, but not always, already installed updates. Downloading them again doesn't help. Checking the version number in these programs, the updates are correctly installed. This is a little bit annoying and the update list gets a little bit crowded. Is there any solution for this problem? I have installed Mac OS 10.7.2. There's just one Apple-ID.
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Tobi

    Try deleting the cache...
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Then restart your Mac.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • Mac App Store - FaceTome update to 1.0.1 fails

    apparently I am not alone - seeing others with similar issue:
    Error message from Mac App Store app:

    BUT now that I am in 1.0.2 I see that FULL SCREEN MODE is greyed-out. Is that because I am not in a video call with someone? I haven't truly used this yet (trying to find someone with whom I can test it!) -- but should one be able to go to full screen mode even if just alone on FaceTime?

    Yes, you must be on a FaceTime call to change the video settings.

  • Mac App Store - FaceTime update to 1.0.1 fails

    I have same issue. Have Facetime preinstalled on MBP, tried to call "X". It says "need to update Facetime". My version says 1.0, go to AppStore, click on "Buy" and it says i already have this and I need to go to software update. I go there and it says everything is up to date. ***?! I followed instructions from this thread to delete the app, but none of that works and it actually screws up the app. Luckily I had it backed up on an external harddrive. Called Apple Care.... they followed the same routine to move facetime to trash... and screw it all up.. ***??!
    As it turns out, I finally figured it out. The message actually says "X needs to update Facetime", not me. There's nothing wrong with my facetime on MBP, as it works when I try to call "Y" and "Z". The problem lies with "X"'s iphone that needs updating. Problem solved.

  • Mac app store driver update killed my printing

    Printer:  Envy100 (D410)
    OS:  Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.2)
    Printer was working fine prior to this morning when I was notified that there was an update via the app store.  I installed the driver update and now all HP software will not see the printer.  I have done the following:
    *  Downloaded latest software from HP and re-installed - no change, cannot see printer
    *  Uninstalled HP Printer software, rebooted, re-installed latest version - no change, cannot see printer
    *  Added the printer first via System Preferences-->Print  & Scan (no problem there) then tried to use the HP Utility to see the printer - no change, cannot see printer
    *  Tried to set up the printer manually using IP address - still does not see the printer
    All of this was working fine yesterday.  I am now without the ability to print, other than by email using hpeprint.com.
    I don't know how to remove the latest update that hosed me.  Please help.
    Edit:  I should also note that all the PCs in my house have no issues.  Nothing changed on the printer itself, the only thing that changes is the driver software on my mac.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok,
    Reboot the router by unplugging it for 30 sexonds, then try following the HP Setup Assistant again.
    If it still fails to locate the printer please let me know your router brand and model.
    I now tested the Envy 100 using the latest HP Printer Drivers 2.12 and were able to print with no issues..

  • 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.

  • Mac App store will not install / run

    My mac says that OSX 10.6.6 is installed. If I attempt in launch the app store, the icon appears in the dock briefly then disappears. It is the same if its launched from Applications or Apple menu. I tried to uninstall the app store then re- installing 10.6.6 combo but I get an 'Unknown error occurred during the installation of this software....' The App re-appears in the Apps folder but still fails to run. I have checked disk permissions, tried re-installing but the same error persists.

  • How do I prevent Mac App Store flagging updates?

    I have a Mac Mini with 1.66 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2GB of RAM
    I am using OS 10.6.8 - the highest that this Mac will run.
    I have iPhoto 11 - version 9.2.3
    When I open the Mac App Store it tells me that there is an update for iPhoto to version 9.3, but if I try to update it I am told "iPhoto can't be installed on Mac Mini HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required"
    How do I prevent the App Store constantly flagging up this update as I cannot use it.

    Try hiding the app in the Purchased pane.

  • How can I get credit in Mac App Store for software installed from CD?

    So I have purchased iLife '11 and iWork '09 disks.  I have had them installed on my MacBook Pro since 2010.  The Mac App Store has happily been updating the all the apps for as long as I can remember.  However, the MAS doesn't recognize the iLife and iWork apps as INSTALLED.  I tried a "fix" to drop a MAS receipt into the individual app's Packages, and it did change the MAS to show them as INSTALLED.  However, to test whether the MAS really saw them as something I had purchased and could then reinstall, I deleted the Numbers app.
    Now the MAS shows me needing to spend the $20 to get Numbers back.  I know I could just dig out the DVD and install it again.
    I am thinking of wiping my MBP drive and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and am just trying to make sure I don't have to buy apps again, and am trying to get around re-installing from original DVDs and going through major time upgrading them through the MAS.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You cannot get the MAS to recognize the iLife or iWork apps installed from disc and update them. These are two different versions of the apps. Falsifying the disc versions with copies of MAS receipts from other apps will not accomplish this, as it cannot be done. The apps from disc are updated through Software Update until they are at the end of their road. At that point you would need to purchase paid upgrades through the MAS.

  • Mac App Store Mavericks update greyed out

    When I try to update to Mavericks in the Mac App Store on a MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012) running OS X 10.7.5, but the "Install App" button does not appear to do anything, and in the "Purchases" window, the OS X Mavericks button is greyed out.
    I have tried restarting, killing the storeagent, deleting the plists, and nothing seems to help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.

  • Trouble signing into mac app store for updates

       The app store icon in my launchbar indicates that I have 3 updates available, and I would like to update.  So I click the "update" button next to each item, and I am asked to sign in with my apple ID.  I do, then I receive a message saying more info is needed, and I am redirected to a web site that explains what an Apple ID is and how to create one.  I know I am entering my ID and password correctly because when I try doing it another way, I get the "incorrect ID or password" mesage. And of course, I managed to sign in to the Apple Support Community.
    So how do I get my updates?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks for this recommendation. After contacting iTunes support, here's the meat of the response I got:
    Angela, I would suggest that you review your account's information using the iTunes application on your computer and then follow the steps below:
    1) Open iTunes.
    2) From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
    3) Enter your Apple ID and its password, and click Sign In.
    4) You will see a dialog saying this: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." Click Review and follow the onscreen instructions to sign in with the account.
    Followed these steps, then all I had to do was enter my credit card information (I never got to that screen before), and now my Apple ID is fully functional, so I can download apps from the mac app store and install my updates.  ...Yet more proof that money truly can buy happiness.
    I hope I don't run into similar problems in the future...as a relatively new mac user, I would have expected the process of creating a freakin' ID to be somewhat more streamlined.
    Anyway, if anyone else has the same issue, now you know what to do.  =)

  • 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).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
