Mac app store screen showing wrong currency

Mac app store not working.  Software update will not work either.
Various issues.
1. Cannot Sign in to Apple Store - just spins.
2. Software update gives me 2 diff screens depending on its mood.
     a. Black screen, One Moment Please , connecting to ITunes Store..... Loading.....
     b. Store not available right now.
3. If i click on Categories, it takes me to more like a web site rather than what the app store used to look like.  Any app that I click on still shows a button to "View in Mac App Store".  uh duh, that is where I was.....    And the price is in Euros, rather than USD. 
Please note, when I open itunes and view my account it is all correct and everything is in correct currency. $$$$
This has gone on for over a month. 
Also note, I manually downloaded and installed the Mac OSX Mountain Lion update 10.8.2  and the latest iTunes. (since it was not working thru software update).
I deleted the apple.appstore.plist as well. a number of times. emptied trash, rebooted, yada yada yada.

-  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
-  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent access to the App Store.
-  Check the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window to make sure you have the correct country selected.
-  Make sure you are using the correct Apple ID.
There's more than one .plist file for the App Store...
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste:    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

  • 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.  Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Mac App Store not showing Updates or Purchases

    After upgrading my Mac OS to Yosemite, my App Store isn't showing anything under the "Updates" tab (It did some automatic updates in the background, so the number of pending updates dropped from 13 to 2).
    Although I have already signed in to Mac App Store, it says:"You must sign in to view your purchases" under the "Purchases" tab. "Sign in" is a clickable link but when I click it nothing happens.

    I'm having the exact same problem.
    I can sign in via the menu bar-store-sign in, but it doesn't change anything.
    In the bottom right corner of the updates page there's a US flag icon showing, indicating I'm in the wrong store. Unable to change to Norwegian.
    I am also unable to go into iCloud in system preferences:

  • Lion download on mac app store not showing progress

    Hi,
    I kind need a help. I download the lion, but it's not showing any download progress bar on the Purchased tab. Even if i try to pause the download, I'm not able to resume it again. I try downloaded other apps and it works fine, I can see the download progress and able to pause-resume it.
    Anybody experience the same with me ?
    thank you.

    Hi ...
    Your profile indicates you have v10.8.3 installed on your Mac.
    If that is the case, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed. The Mac App Store red badge icon should be available in the Dock for updates. Also for Notifications.
    If you have problems using Software Update, a workaround is to install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
    Make sure and restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

  • Why is the Mac App Store loading the wrong Apple ID when I try to redownload my copy of Lion?

    Pretext:
    I purchased my MacBook Pro 17" Back in March of 2011 from MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI. Later I purchase OS X Lion 10.7 from the Mac App Store on July 23rd, 2011 under my Account along with a couple of other programs. I know it is under my account because, I have redownloaded the OS X Lion Installer twice before (10.7.1 and 10.7.2), making my own bootable copies on USB drives as emergency copies.
    Now my Apple ID has never changed, the password is still the same as when I set it up back when I signed up for my iTunes Music Store account, the only thing changed is my payment options (reissued debit cards, and a bank switch). The account has always been mine alone, never part of any family account or anything of the sort. Outside of that, nothing has ever been editted on my accounts.
    Last month my father decides to finally update from his 2002 Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver) to a new MacBook Pro a month ago. I show him how to make a bootable USB stick so he can always have an immediate backup installer. Both him and I are on AT&T which likes to cap bandwidth so remote installs are an insane proposition. He makes his own bootable USB stick of 10.7.3., and in an effort to save bandwidth I borrow it and make a duplicate.
    Now I did boot from the copy of the USB stick, but never installed, I just wanted to make sure it loaded just in case. Anyway, I quit of out the installer return to my usual start up disk (OCZ Vertex 3 120GB) and continue on. Eventually I download the 10.7.3 update through the System Update. All is well and fine. Couple weeks later, I decide to make another fully bootable USB stick, go to redownload from the App Store (new AT&T billing cycle) and now it is asking me for my father’s Apple ID and Password. It refuses to take my Apple ID and password and tells me there is an error and tells me to try again shortly.
    So I turn on the Mac App Store Debug Menu, clear cookies, and reset the app. I try to redownload again, but his Apple ID is still on my machine. He has never used this machine, not once. How do I fix this?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Mac app store gets it wrong

    I'm almost the last person who would have angry birds installed on his Mac. So why the update Mac Store. One would think with the 17-plus days wait developers have on update reviews Apple would have a chance to work out who should be getting the update (users of the app) and who shouldn't (non-installers of the app).

    This is the email address of a known MAS pirate. You have a pirated app on your Mac. The pirated app is not Angry Birds, but the pirated app was cracked by this app pirate when he used the MAS receipt inside the free Angry Birds app bundle that he downloaded using his account. You may not have realized that it was a pirated app. You may have thought the it was a "free" version or a triel verson. You will need to think back and try to recall any such apps that you have installed from a source outside of the Mac App Store.
    Finding a pirated app -
    When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from the Angry Birds app acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see. This Russian Apple ID is a known app pirate.
    You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
    All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
    Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

  • I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

    I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year.  Its not a pirated copy or anything.  I deleted the app cause I never used it.  After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app.  When I click update, it just re-downloads the app.   Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it.  I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely.  How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

    Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

  • Mac app store always shows updates for not installed apps

    Hi,
    I've got fresh install of 10.7.1 (replaced hdd, installed via Restore OS usb flash drive). Everything works properly, except of Mac App Store.
    For some reason it shows me as updates all apps I ever purchased. Installed and updated to latest version, as well as not installed yet.
    Any way to fix this?
    Thanks!

  • HT4461 Can I buy an app from the US Mac App Store with a different currency? (I live in Brazil...)

    I'm willing to buy a MacBook Pro soon and am just curious if I can buy an app from the Mac App Store (U.S.) with a different currency (I live in Brazil, so the currency would be Brazilian Reais to Dollars.... or do I have to change accounts, the country and buy it from the Mac App Store (Brazil?)

    não amigão, a Mac App Store, e a iTunes Store só vendem em dólar pra nós, mesmo que moremos no Brasil, por isso somos "obrigados" a ter cartão de crédito internacional.
    No buddy, both Mac App Store and iTunes Store just sell apps with US Dollar currency for us, even we live in Brazil, this is why we must have International credit cards here.

  • My new ipad app store screen shows blank screen. how to resolve this?

    my app store screen gone blank

    Quit the app store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or try this as well. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Mac App Store don't show me updates...

    When the Mac App Store is closed, it don't show me that there're updates. I have to start the Mac App Store to show me the updates... How I solve that problem to view the updates without start the Mac App Store??

    No, I have one Apple account and two sessions in my mac. Logicaly, I have the same apps for all de users accounts in my mac and all the apps was downloaded with one Apple account in my "A" session. When I start my mac and run my session, the MAS don't show me updates in the dock icon. Without start the MAS, I go to the loggin windows and start another session and the MAS show me updates without start the app... and I don't understand why it doesn't show me updates in my session...

  • My mac app store shows someone else's update

    My Mac App Store is showing someone else's update. the update is for an app called CodeBox. I've never heard of it, not even purchasing it. when I tried to cleaning my computer's cache, it's still there. What should I do?? It's very irritating for my family...

    I can't see how it has achieved such notariety in your household ... it is simply an inexpensive developers tool.   That said, you or someone else has downloaded it at some time; it won't just appear.
    But you can check that.   As it is a paid app, it will appear in your purchases list (hidden or unhidden) and if by some odd situation it doesn't, write to the billing department and ask for a copy of the account it featured on.
    In terms of getting rid of it, the chances are it could have been partially deleted by the person who downloaded it.   But you have a clone or similar in your system and that is why MAS is picking it up and showing the update availability.
    You're going to have to search a little harder, I'm afraid.

  • Mac App Store showing updates for an app I didn't purchase

    The Mac App Store keeps showing updates for 'Nyan Cat: Lost in Space', but I have not purchased this app. When I click 'update', it shows up with somebody else's email address, which I did not recognise, and if I try to enter my email address + password it does not accept.

    Let me beat you to it here... the Apple ID you are seeing is....
    DRUM ROLL !!!!     
    [email protected]  <-- TRALLAHHHH LAHHHHH!!
    This is because you (or let's say someone else) has been doing some very naughty Utorrenting.
    Now, with this info to arm yourself, you may be able to figure out what cracked item you have placed on that machine.

  • Why do I have an update on the Mac App Store for an Angry Birds app when I have not downloaded the app?

    I have a strange issue where the Mac App Store always shows an update available for an Angry Birds app I have never downloaded on my Mac. Everytime I click on it for update, it gives a strange Username for which the update is available.
         This is the username that comes up when I hit "Update"... I noticed this problem exists on my friends iMac too and it is the exact same email ID that shows on the screenshot above.
    Please help.

    Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

  • Re install apps Mac app store, re install apps Mac app store

    In the Mac App Store following a re install of Mountain Lion the apps I want to  put on the new installation are showing as being already installed. This is probably due to me not using Migration Assistant. I wanted a completely fresh install though.
    I have tried to reset the details of bought apps but no joy as yet.
    Anyone any ideas about how I can sort this out so I can do a re intall of Final Cut Pro and other Apps.
    I could comnpy them across from the back ups I made before doing the update, but will that work properly?

    I found another thread with some information and it seems that the thing to do is to disconnect all other drives where you have apps. I still had the SuperDuper backup connected I made before I started the re install and as soon as I took that off the Mac App Store was showing true.
    Thanks for the reply Hackintosh.
