My download speed in the Mac App store is horribly slow going at 600kb/s when my internet speed is 60Mb/s fibre optic broadband, why? Every other application has expected (fast) download speeds, so i doubt its my ISP or security settings.

As above, I have also tried clearing caches and changing settings in keychain. I can normally download a 5GB file in roughly 30 in any other application howver, in the App store it takes 4 hours. Very frustrating, any suggestions are very welcome.

Note: using enthernet or Wifi makes no difference in speed.

    I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that

    Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

    I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

  • Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

    Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

    No...and in fact there are several disadvantages (notably the easy ability of updating).
    If you have the choice between a regular (real) license and an App Store license, buy the real thing…the App store is a problem...

  • HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the  Mac App Store?

    I cannot update apps, or download  Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
    Never experienced this before.

    I need to clarify the problem:
    software update returns:
    The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

  • Can't buy/download anything from the Mac App Store

    Anyone has the problem of not being able to buy anything from the Mac App Store. It is extremely annoying. It does not show any error messages. When I click on the "Buy App" icon it does't go anywhere. its so annoying and disappointing. Tried it from two computers, mac pro and macbook pro.

    Disable anti virus software and try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

  • How do I download and reinstall the mac app store?

    I'm running 10.6.8 and I removed the Mac App Store application from my application folder because after numerous attempts it kept failing to open.
    I went back to my software update hoping it would re-install the App Store.  No such luck.  Curious how I might go about re-installing an working version of the Mac App Store software.
    Thanks so much.
    AWrenn

    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    will reinstall the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    You should then be able to access the App Store from your Apple menu, the Dock, or the Applications folder.

  • I can't download Mavericks from the Mac App Store

    I can't download Mavericks, I don't know if the Apple's server are full but Mac App Store show me an error when I try to upgrade my MacbookPro Retina, just sometimes the download starts and It stops at 358 mg and after it give me the error.
    How I can solve the problem ?

    Thanks for the link, Niel.  I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together.  It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

  • How do I download XCode4 from the Mac App store

    I initially posted this at the Developer forums, but I chose the wrong forum to post in, and so I was directed here.
    Original message
    It failed a few times during the download but when I restarted it it started again from where it left off. This was good.
    However the last time it failed it changed something as when I retry it now it starts from scratch.
    It took me about 3 days to almost complete the download so I don't think I am going to successfully download a 4.5gigs XCode file
    without any download interruptions.
    I have tried copying the pkg in Library/Application Support/App store so that I can get it to start from where it left off. However whatever I try it always seems to go back to 0 bytes when resume is clicked. This is a trick I learnt in Firefox that I used when downloading previous XCode versions(xcode3). However this does not work for me.
    Thank you

    Does the app store use the http protocol for the download? If true then I should see problems with resuming downloads in other applications(eg firefox). I don't see those problems.
    How often does the app store commit the data saved so far. Or what size download chunks does the app store save? 100k 1MB 10MB?
    I have tried to resume when I had >1 Mbye saved, and it just started from 0.
    Next message
    I have just tried downloading xcode3 from developer.apple.com using firefox, and the resume in firefox works fine, even after a firefox restart.
    The app downloader had over 4gigs worth of data saved, then there must have been some problem, then the amount of data saved must have gone back to 0.
    How does the app downloading program decide to zero out the saved file data? Is there any way to inflence this or somehow make manual backups, like I could with firefox.
    I do have broadband, but its a slow broadband. I did have to reenter my username and password a few times during the download process, probably because there was some sort of cookie expiry happening. However this worked fine.  However something went wrong at the end. maybe it was because I clicked the retry in the pop up, rather than the retry next to the app store download progress bar.
    If there was a flag or something that said whether or not to resume or retry from scratch then I could maybe edit that and it would help.
    What happens now is that when I click pause, the data is written to the .pkg file, which is correct.
    However when I click resume the file size immediately goes back to zero.

    I tried it again, and this time when I resumed it lost about 10Mbytes, so I guess this means that the app store downloader saves its data every 10MBytes.
    I will try downloading the whole thing again(XCode4) and just hope that this time I can get the whole download before it decides to wipe out what it has already downloaded.

  • Can't download anything from the Mac App Store.

    I haven't had to download an App from the MAS in a while but i do vaguely remember having this problem before. When i go to install the app (Mavericks in this case) it comes up on my purchased list, but when i click Download it will seemingly do nothing. Looking at my Launchpad of current downloads, it is there but it has a greyed out icon which indefinitely says 'downloading'.
    I've tried everything i've seen suggested on other threads, deleting the caches, deleting storeagent etc. Nothing has worked and it's pretty irritating.

    why do i get the purchase cannot be completed message when i try to install mav from my app store..
    sorry to interupt, iv already made 2 posts about this and was curious what might be the problem?

  • Can't download Lion from the Mac App Store. It says the computer doesn't have the correct processor, yet it does.

    User error; didn't read correctly that it said "Intel Core Duo" for the 'About this Mac'.  All set, sorry!
    Message was edited by: anne234

    It would help if you provide all the error information. Sounds to me like you may not meet all the requirements:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I don't know how to reinstall the Mac App Store after I deleted it on my Mac!

    HELP! I deleted the Mac App Store because it hasn't been working for a few days now, every time I tried to download an app it said "Connection Failed" my internet is working and connected properly, I type in all the correct info for my apple ID/Password, it wouldn't let me download any apps and this has gone on for a few days already, so I decided to delete the Mac App Store and reinstall it, but I can't reinstall it, I have to download the whole latest version again, which I can't because you download it thru the Mac app store! By the way i have the latest version for mac, i think heres my version: Mac OS X version 10.9.4, now i don't know what to do..... I'm i gonna have to take this to the apple store and ask? If so what will they say? Or does anyone have a solution? Please leave a response has this happened to anyone else?

    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.
