Mavericks won't install from the app store, it's not even downloading

I have a MacBook Pro that the apple website says is compatible with mavericks, but when i launch the app store, and try to download it, after entering my password and the button goes green and says 'install app' a loading icon appears briefly in the app store toolbar, then dissapears, and no app begins downloading! Help!

I've found it, this is a copy of the post-
terminal, key this in this: open $TMPDIR../C/  then a folder will appear, delete thecom.apple.appstore folder and then relaunch your Mac App Store.

    It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1349 cannot get lion to download and install from the app store

    the lion os app took 2 days to down load then did not install from the app store.

    Do you mean the install button stays on install, or do you notice a loading bar under your Launchpad icon?
    This may help...

  • IPhone 5; iOS 8.1.2: How do I remove a deleted App from Cloud storage so that I may do a fresh install from the App Store?

    I Deleted a faulty App in order to do a fresh re-install from the App Store - but it keeps installing from Cloud storage and I don't know whether this is the original App.
    How do I stop this happening?

    An app cannot self install. If you are using the App Store app see the app listed with a cloud icon, it means that app was downloaded previously but it is no longer on your device. Tap the cloud icon to redownload the app.

    Just just launch the Mac App Store, select the "Purchased" tab and download MainStage or any other application you already bought.

  • Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
    You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.

  • I have purchased an app from the app store and cannot seem to download it.  I have tried restarting, and checked my connection but this seems to have no effect.  I have also downloaded other (free) applications since then and some of these download

    I have purchased an app from the app store and cannot seem to download it, the download statrs and then rapidly cuts out, it will not complete and seems to repeatedly go over the same few Mb.  I have previously downloaded large files and not had a problem with them.
    I have tried restarting, checked my hard disk (and repaired a sector of the disk) and checked my connection but this seems to have no effect.  I have also disabled virus protection and my firewall to see if this has an effect.  I have also downloaded other (free) applications to test it since then and some of these download but not the larger ones.  Has anybody else encountered this?  Does anyone know how to solve it?

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • HT204088 how to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game)

    How to I find out the most recent deductions to my account from the app store (say, for a recent download for additional functionality on a iPad game). Much as I try, I can't seem to get to see my account in enough detail to see what I have spent downloading apps to the ipad.

    You need to punch in the passcode for any purchase right, not just for new apps??
    If one of the other students, or anyone else, got access to your iTunes Store account, necessary to make any purchases, then they'd have all the information they'd need to also make in-app purchases. But an in-app purchase can only be made through the account through which the original app was purchased. Either your son bought the game (free or paid) and then shared it with someone else along with the account information (necessary to authorize the app on someone else's device), or someone else downloaded the game as well, not just made in-app purchases.
    In any case, changing your iTunes Store password should now have cut off any such unauthorized activity, though of course if your son gives the new password out, you'll be back to square one.
    Regards.

  • How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    This works for apps you've acquired, but does not work for built-in features.  I am regularly nagged to update Digital Camera RAW Compatibility (currently I'm being nagged about Update 6.03).  I've tried the method described above - the steps are available, but they appear to have no effect.  I think this is perhaps because RAW compatibility is an element of OSX rather than a separate app.  I don't use RAW format with cameras, and have no need for this feature.  Even if I did, I have none of the 13 camera models listed in this update. 
    It is just a nuisance, but if anyone knows how to suppress this I would appreciate instructions. 
    I would also be curious if anyone can explain why on earth Apple would incorporate RAW camera format compatibility into the core of its operating system.  It shakes my confidence in their operating system design.

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?  Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

    You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select  Mountain Lion.
    Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

  • Why won't OS10.8 install from the App Store?

    I continue to get an error occured message at 168mB with the download to upgrade running 10.7.5 on a new Mac mini 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 2 GB 13333 MHz DDR3 Ram?

    What is the error message?
    This has worked for some people:
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.  Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy.  It won't charge you again.

  • Mavericks won't install and iTunes/App Store always quit unexpectedly.

    Let me start by saying that I am not very computer-savvy. That being said, I don't mess with my computer very much so I feel like this should be an easy fix.
    The problem started a few days ago when my macbook froze and then shut down. When I booted it back up, I noticed that iTunes wouldn't open. The icon would just bounce for a while and then I would get the message that iTunes had quit unexpectedly. I figured that updating my OS to Maverick would possibly solve the problem. I downloaded Mavericks, but when my computer rebooted and Mavericks began installing, it stopped after two minutes and simply said that it could not complete installation and that I should try restarting my computer. So I did. And the same thing happened again and again. Eventually i chose the old startup disk and gave up. But now the app store is doing the same thing as iTunes. I tried a disk repair and I tried to repair disk permissions but neither helped. I have a lot of music in my iTunes library so I'd rather not uninstall/reinstall iTunes.
    Any help on either front would be wonderful!!
    Thank you!

    update: I reinstalled iTunes and it's working now

  • I purchased my macbook pro with Lion pre-installed. However its not showing as "installed" from the app store. How can I re-install?

    As the title says, I just bought my macbook pro. I'd like to reinstall Lion. However its not showing as "installed" in my app store? So How can I reinstall it?

    No. Launch the Terminal 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    diskutil list
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
