Mac OS X 10.8.5's App Store keeps offering the free 10.10 Mavericks...

Hello.
Mac OS X 10.8.5's App Store keeps offering the free 10.10 Mavericks when I manually check for updates. I right clicked and hid this update to make it go away. After I exit App Store and recheck for updates, it returns. Why is it not hiding? I don't want it!
Thank you in advance.

Not sure why it is showing in your updates list as it is not an update. It is an entirely new upgrade which has nothing to do with your currently installed software and OS X. It comes up on the home screen, naturally, as it is Apple's latest OS X which they wish to promote, but I have never seen it in the Software Updates page.

Interesting. Here is what I see everytime I check for Software Updates from Apple's menu: http://i.imgur.com/3tbiySG.png (note its hide update option I used).

My app store keeps closing the icon opens in toolbar then closes

When I go to open the Mac app store it will open in the toolbar bounce about 3 times then disappears , so being said I can not upload the new Yosemite operating system.
I had this problem with iTunes so I was told to take off the Clean My Mac programs and it came back but this is new.
When I opened the console to look at the problem it states, Exited with : Code 1.
Anyone else have this issue?

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

The App Store keeps notifying app update that I've deleted

It doesn't seems to cripple the system or anything, but it is so annoying. Not very Apple-like. I have deleted the Evernote App, empty the trash. The App Store keeps notifying the Evernote update. If it's a bug, I hope they will fix it soon.
Oh, and yes, I downloaded the app from App Store, not somewhere else.

Have you got any external disk connected to your Mac? If you have an external disk, disconnect it and check if the Evernote update shows up.
If not, you have Evernote on the external disk, so go there and delete it

HT4623 Hi I'm new to ipad. I know I have downloaded from the App Store sky go, iplayer, itv player, 4OD etc but when I want to watch them I cannot watch. In the App Store I cannot select 'free' and the app icons are not on my screens. Please help

Hi
I'll write here too as this is the first time I've done this too. I'm new to ipad and I'm having trouble with icons appearing on my ipad after I have downloaded them. These are all tv based -sky go app, iplayers and on demand. I have installed them previously but since then there are no icons on my ipad to select. When I follow the link to the App Store to download, the 'free' tab or the price tab cannot be selected. Please help

Hi there,
Thank you so much. I said I was new to ipad lol. I put restrictions on about a month ago and have been ripping my hair out since. Wish I asked on here first lol. Are there any simple steps of advice you could offer or maybe an idiots guide lol
Thanks again and best wishes..

I have the Mac OS 10.6.7 and my App Store doesn't open?

I have the Mac OS 10.6.7 and my App Store doesn't open, it shows the frame, but never the content, the system thinks, thinks, until I Shut the application down. What should I do?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.7 combo update available here.
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
Then try the MAS.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

Every time i try to sign in to the mac app store i get the message 'an unknown error has occurred"

I can sign into the iTunes store but not into the Mac App Store. I don't have this problem on my other Mac running the same Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Try deleting the cache associated wi 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.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?

Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.

Mac App Store keeps crashing...

Whenever I want to see any updates for my Mac, the App Store keeps crashing, as well as the iTunes Store and iBooks Store. I don't know what's going on, but last night everything was working...

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.
Step 1
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. 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.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates.

The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates, but am not positive. Has anyone else expierenced this?
I know it was a clean install where I deleted all the support files as well.

OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

I have an old mac 10.6.8. I wish to install a iphoto program, but i believe my mac will only support iphoto5. The app store only offers me the latest version. Any suggestions on where to get iphoto 5?

I have an old mac and wish to install an iphoto program. The app store only offers me the latest version of iphoto, but I think the mac can only support iphoto 5. Any suggestions on where I can get iphoto 5?

Do you have the disks that came with the old Mac? If you do you can install the iApps from one of those disks.
Otherwise, what Mac model do you have? Go the the  ➙ About This Mac menu and then click on More Information. In the System Information under Hardware you'll find Model Name. What is the model? I'tll be something like Macbook 5,2.

I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.

Yesterday I worked on spreadsheets in the 3.0 version, today I open up numbers and it tells me I need to update. When I look in "about numbers" it tells me I have version 09...I went to the app store, it says the new version is installed on my Mac.

Hi nuvest,
Numbers 3.0.1 lives in your Applications folder. Numbers '09 lives in a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder. You can drag each icon to your Dock. They will become Aliases. Right click (or control click) on each Alias in turn and Options > Keep in Dock. Then you can choose which one to launch.
Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) is on the left, three column chart. Numbers '13 (Numbers 3.0.1) is on the right, four column chart.
Both versions will run side-by-side. Just be sure which version has your document open before you save.
In Numbers 3.0.1 you can convert "backwards" to Numbers 2 with File> Export > Numbers '09...
Regards,
Ian.

When I try to sign on to Mac App Store I get the message "Your device or computer cannot be verified" Yet I can sign on in iTunes no problem. I've tried all the suggestions from App Support but no luck.

What troubleshooting techniques have you tried? Have you restarted the app? Have you restarted your computer?
One idea is to Trash this file; Mac HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart.
