Resumable downloads and delta updates for App Store

Hi all,
since I didn't find any place where to add product improvement suggestions, I post it here and hopefully someone can point me (and or this post) to the correct location.
I'd like to vote for resumable downloads (even a shutdown is in between) and delta updates for the Mac App Store. The main reason for this are big apps (i. e. Xcode) which I simply can't update without having the mac running the whole day (and night).
Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hi Michael!
Apple employees are not going to see feature feedback posted here, but you can use the Apple Feedbck site. There is not currently a category for the App Store but you can use the OSX feedback form here:

Curious, are you on dial-up or satellite? As I live in a low-population state with lots of miles between towns of even modest size, I hear the slow connection issue a lot when helping users locally. We get 50mbps service in Lewiston, but people in the back country are struggling with some really slow satellite providers.

  • When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

  • How can I get my iPod touch to download and install updates to apps?

    I am having difficulties with getting updates for my apps to download and install.  When requested, I supply my password for my apple ID, and select "update".  It immediately jumps to the screen with my icon, and then gives me a status bar and says "waiting" for an unending amount of time.
    I have tried power cycling our wireless router and modem, power cycling the iPod, deleting the apps from all locations then syncing the iPod, and reinstalling the apps. 
    Nothing I try seems to get me out of this never ending cycle of inability to download and install updates.
    Any ideas?

    How are you accessing the mail on the laptop? If you are using a mail client, Outlook, etc, then the mail is being downloaded to the laptop.
    If you want to read them on the iPod, then in the account on the iPod, make sure that you turn off delete from server, then after looking at them on the iPod, delete the messages. You will then be able to pick them up on the laptop. Or, as Illaass said, read them with a web client.

  • How do I download my iPhoto update from App Store?

    I have iPhoto on my iMac (it is the one that came preinstalled - it has likely had updates made to it since I had the iMac as I have had it a few years now, but I never use iPhoto so don't know which version currently.)
    I am running 10.8.2.
    I have just got an iPhone and wish to download some photos, so I read on the apple site that iPhoto will automatically do so when I connect with USB.
    I have gone to my iPhoto application and it won't open.  Instead a message comes up saying "You can't open the application iPhoto because it is being updated."  When I open up the App Store to see where to update it, iPhoto is listed in the lists of update apps with RESUME next to it. (Perhaps I may have tried to upload the update before...)   But I go RESUME a box pops up saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
    Could someone please help.  What do I need to do to get the application to update?  (I need my photos off my iPhone to send to someone quite urgently!)
    Many thanks.

    Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it.  It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2.  So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!)  I live in hope that this will fix it.  If it doesn't I'll let you know!

  • Unable to download(purchase) Lion Update from App Store

    When I try to download Lion, the download sign in window appears and is populated with someone else's Apple ID. If I change the ID to mine and use my password I get 2 messages:
    "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    Click OK and 2nd message:
    "Unknown Error"
    iTunes does not exhibit this, and normal sign in to App Store shows correct ID, only the Download Authentication does this. I have been able to update other Apps just fine, this requires a purchase, and is the only difference.

    Perhaps it was a display model at one time in the store and someone registered the OS in their name. I would return to the store with the Mac and show them the stranger's name that appears in the Mac App Store when you try to update Lion. Perhaps it is even an employee. Anyway, they need to set this right by you. A new Mac should not have someone else's Apple ID registered into it. That registration sent the unique identifier to Apple for this Mac and registered it to the person's Apple ID. Not cool.

  • 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.

    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'm trying to download FIFA 13 update from App Store. I have over 3G of local storage, the update is around 1Gb but it says I don't have enough local storage to download. What's the problem??

    I'm trying to download an update for FIFA 13 for my iPhone. My storage says I have around 3.2Gb of local storage space available. The update is 1Gb but when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space. Why is this happening?

    Becasue you do not have enough space available.
    It can take much more space that the size of the app to install.
    Update on your compter, then sync, if you do not want to create more space

  • Can't download and install Updates for my brand-new (bought today) Photoshop CS6

    It looks as though it's blowing up at the very end of the download process.  I've tried a couple of times. Any ideas as to what to do?  Is there anyway to get direct help from Adobe?
    Thanks
    Bob Chapman

    Why are you installing through the Adobe Application Manager?  Did you purchase Photoshop or subscribe?  If you purchased Photoshop then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download and install your purchased software.

  • 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...

  • I have iPhone 4S, latest OS installed. Everytime I have updates in app store, I get "cannot install livingsocial and 6 other..." I deleted livingsocial weeks ago

    I have an iPhone 4S, with the latest OS, 5.01 I believe it is. Most everything is great except everytime I have updates to download and install through the app store, I get a message saying "cannot install livingsocial and 6 other apps." The issue is that I only had livingsocial for a couple weeks then deleted it. That was a few weeks ago. Also I have no idea what the other 6 are. All my updates install fine, I just keep getting this message. And livingsocial and whatever the other 6 apps are never show up in the updates section, I just keep getting the stupid message. I click ok and it goes away. How do I get it to stop trying to install these apps? I've seen a ton of information about something similar happening on sync, but my issue is occurring during AppStore updates for which I can find no information!

    That seems like a really odd coincidence that both ours say "and 6 other apps." As far as the app waiting thing, I've never tried tapping it twice, but I would hold down til all the apps started shaking to move or delete, but this one is the only one with no x for delete, so when I tap it nothing happens. I have tapped it repeatedly but never exactly twice. But after a short while, no matter what I do, it will just disappear on its own. In fact, I saw your "tap twice" message very soon after you posted it and was going to try it, but it had already disappeared by then.

  • Want to change account name for App Store

    I have changed the iTune store account name and want to update for App Store, so that I can updates applications. How to change the account name on the App Store? I changed in the Setting but it doesn't affect in the App Store. Thanks for your help.

    I think you need to login to a different iTunes account from within iTunes, then sync your iPhone/iPod Touch. It should then have your other store account as the default.

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks
