Mac App Store works fine for buying/installing new software, but times out when looking for updates. Help?
I just got a (lightly) used Mac Mini as a second computer (2010 model). Logged into Mac App Store with my Apple ID and tried to check for updates...received "An error has occurred - The request timed out" message. Was able to go to the main App Store page and download/install OS X Mountain Lion...then tried again and still got the time-out error. Any ideas of what is happening and how to get Software Update to work?
Apps already installed by the former owner of the Mini are associated with that persons Apple iD. You won't be able to update any of those apps using your Apple iD. Those apps will have to be purchased from your Apple ID only.
Apparently the previous owner had not upgraded to Mountain Lion as yet, or you would not have been able to download and install that OS X.

I had a 'dead' iMac repaired and it needed a new HDD and graphics card, the repairer installed OSX 10.6.8 and i now need to install other software but I am being asked for 'User' password so I may do this, I have no idea what this will be. can anybody help please?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>On looking at the secure.log on the iMac with OSX10.6.8, I see these entries at each attempt to scp into the iMac:

Mac App Store won't let me install something I already bought.
I just bought a game on the Mac App Store and it was in the middle of downloading. I turned the monitor off and when I turned it back on it wasn't downloading anymore. I still don't have it in my Applications folder so I tried to install it again but it said 'We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.' What do I do?
Restart the computer
Search using spotlight to make sure its not there
Look at launchpad
Anything? -
Hi! a few days ago I updated to Maverick and updated several other programs as well, however Pages 5.0 somehow didn't install, so I'm running 4.3. The App Store thinks I have already installed it. The FAQs suggest I can redownload, they do not indicate how. How?
Thanks!The older iWorks apps are in an iWorks folder the new apps are loose in the Applications folder. Are you sure the new Pages isn't there?
You can redownload apps from the Purchases pane after signing into your account. -
Would like to have the mac app store available to me on my mac. I am using10.5.8. I tried to update to 10.6.8 but got error message indicating that I needed 10.6 first. I have mac set to automatically do all updates so I thought I was up to date. If I buy the 10.6 update via apple store and install and then install 10.6.8 will i then have access to the mac app store??
Mac app store is only available on Snow Leopard (10.6). You will need to purchase the upgrade. Only Lion (10.7) is available as a download through the app store and you need SL first.

My Ipad 4 has downloaded several children's game Apps, no problems, however following this the device is again trying to download the same App being a repeat of the already downloaded App. The original is working fine but for several days the Ipad is displaying the repeated App as "Installing". How do I stop this as there is no ability to remove the 2nd App?
thanks I found the answer on another forum, turning it off to show the Apple Icon did the job, thanks all

Apple id not working in app store, works fine here and in itunes
on my imac running 10.6.8 I can get into itunes, but not into app store. When I go to PURCHASES, or UPDATES i get prompted to log in (I have masked my ID in the screen grab) My ID works fine here, this is the ID I registered my iMac with.
Oddly, when I select apps I'm currently running, they show as installed.
I have no interest in upgrading my OS to newer version(s)
Am I hosed?Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Mac App Store stuck on "Waiting to install"?
Whenever I try to update or install a new app from the App store, it downloads fine but then gets stuck at the "Waiting to install" stage. I have tried rebooting my system, quitting and reopening the App Store, quitting the App store and killing the storeagent process via Activity Monitor and then restarting the App store...nothing has worked. I've included an image of what the issue looks like, this is the Purchased section of the App Store. The screenshot was taken after it had been sitting at that point for over an hour. Any suggestions?
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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

How does the Mac App Store work?!
Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
Thanks in advance!Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

Hi:
As noted above, Firefox won't open a new window. I restarted machine without closing Firefox. Now, I get the Firefox menu bar but it won't open a window. I'm using mac, with OS X 10.6Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically.<br />
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel:<br />

You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar -
Evolution times out when searching for mail
I use Evolution as a frontend to Gmail. I set this up at work today, and it worked fine after installing gnome-keyring (which really should be flagged as a dependency), but after returning home (and by extension rebooting), I get the following message:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached
It appears at the top of the client after a few seconds of attempting to access the server.
It's Google's server, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be able to connect. Looks like it's trying to start some service and failing, but the message is cryptic to me.
Any advice?I have a similar problem. Actually, Gnome-Keyring will not open the usual pop-up asking for my master password, in order to unlock every other password. Therefore, of course Evolution cannot access my e-mail account, it does not have access to the password of those accounts !
I notice that at every start-up, I have two differents gnome-keyring processes, and killing the oldest solve the problem.
oxayotl@Mahomet> ps aux | grep keyring
oxayotl 386 0.0 0.0 206312 3484 ? Sl 13:40 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize
oxayotl 674 0.0 0.0 49524 2220 ? S 13:40 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
Of course the process numbers change a little bit each time, but it is always similar to that example. Simply typing “kill 386” (adjusting the number, of course), and then asking Evolution to try again gets me the pop-up for the master password, and then everything works fine. No new gnome-keyring process are launched. -
Hello!
I recently upgraded to Lion. Every time I start up iMovie, it asks if I want to go ahead and generate thumbnails. I say OK, then it alerts me that it cannot file the file IMG_0073.MOV. Then it says "Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." It gives me the option to either cancel or search for the movie.
I don't have the old file it's looking for. I simply want to start a fresh movie with new material but cannot get past this hump. Based on the little research I have done, some people experienced this problem because the files were in aperture at some point, which was the case for me before when I used iMovie. I have since moved forward only with iPhoto but perhaps it's hung on an old file format?
I tried taking another old movie and renamed it IMG_0073.mov to see if I could simply select it, give it what it wants and move on but it won't let me select the file for some reason. I also tried removing iMovie and downloading a fresh version but that didn't work either. My BF tried removing pfiles (I think that's what it's called? but again no luck)
Please help! I must get this assignment done for a class!Hello!
