Safari 6.1 Upgrade not in the App Store (OS X 10.8.5)
I'd like to upgrade to Safari 6.1 on OS X 10.8.5 and according to Apple the update should be available in the Mac App Store but for me it is not.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
I had the same problem as you with Safari 6.1, as well as with the Java for OS X 2013-005 recent update (released Oct. 15) and the Apple Remote Desktop 3.7 Client released yesterday. None were showing in Software Update on my MacBook Pro, but they were showing on my iMac.
Then, today, as I was purchasing a third-party update to get compatibility with my future upgrade to Mavericks, I was unable to update that app I had for many years (Little Snitch from Objective Development). The developer issued a very interesting explanation on why an update of their software might not work. You can read the whole support article here.
As explained, it has to do with the missing "/mach_kernel" file located at the top level of the startup disk of your Mac. This file, usually hidden (for obvious reasons), cannot be trashed under any circumstances. However, the file became visible if you installed the recent OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental Update released by Apple on Oct. 03. This bug with the update was apparently an error from Apple.
If you made the same mistake as I did on my MacBook Pro, you probably trashed this file thinking it was put there by a third-party software. In fact, this file is required by Mac OS X. I simply retrieved it using Time Machine, restored it and voilà! I got all the OS X updates I was missing in Software Update in the Mac App Store.
Hope it will solve you problem!

I am currently using OS X and need to update to 10.5 in order to upgrade and/or update softwares. I do not have the APP store option....I cannot even download Itunes. Any thoughts
You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

My ipod touch 4G got problem after update to iOS 6, it can not access the Apps store ,can not access safari,map, weather and so on, could someone help me to solve the problem, thanks in advance~~~
Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
The people at the Apple Store told me to wait on an upgrade to Snow Leopard because Lion was coming out soon. However, without Snow Leopard, I can not get the App Store.
I have OSX 10.58 and a processor big enough to support Lion.So you need to upgrade to Snow Leoapard first so you can access the Mac App Store in order to download Lion.
Snow Leoapard is available from the online store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM. -
I kept getting this upgrade prompt from the App Store to upgrade free to OS10 Yosemite. So I finally did on my 4 year old iMac and now it appears to be stuck just spinning on that stupid ball that means trouble and it is not progressing. Anybody got any idea what I do now? Thanks.
I don't think you would get a thing from the App Store running 10.3.x on a PowerBook. It would help if you told us what you really are using and what version of OS X you were running.
It would also help to tell us what the "stupid ball" is. In fact it would be a big help to give us a thorough and intelligible description of your situation so we don't have to guess. -
Two apps (amateur radio) not in the App Store, how can i make them run, 10.9?
I had to upgrade to Mavericks .. OK I like it; but it WON'T ALLOW ME TO USE TWO OF MY FAVORITE APPS 'cause they're not in the App Store. How to allow apps from external sources work.
The apps: DVTool (for DStar radio) and echomac for remote control of amateur radio repeater sites.That's caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US To open these applications, you have two options:
1. Right-click the application and choose Open, or;
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, press the padlock at the bottom right corner of the System Preferences window, and select "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from". This will allow to open any application -

About 1 year ago, I can not access the App Store. The message that appears is: "One Moment Please. Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading ... " I've tried all the aids presented in this and other forums and nothing solves. iTunes connects normaly...
Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Can not open the app store on my mac since new update

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details. -
Imac4,1 will not recognize the app store
Hello,
I have an iMac 4,1 and it will not recognize the app store. It did not bother me until i realized that iphoto and the address book were not on the computer. How do i get the computer to recognize the app store so i can download these apps.Were you running iPhoto 9? If not do you have the disks that came with your iMac? It will have the iPhoto that came with your Mac, iPhoto 5 (06) on a disk similar to one of these:
If you were using a later version of iPhoto you will need the iLife disk it came on or, if it was iPhoto 9, get to the App Store to redownload it. So what version were you using before this happened?
As for the Address book you'll have to reinstal it from the Snow Leopard disk that you used to install Snow Leopard. It will be in the Optional Installs.pkg that's in the Optional Installs folder on the disk:

I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?
If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page Aperture 3.4.5?
Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.
