Safari 8.0.2 stuck in App Store update loop

Shortly after updating to Yosemite (10.10.1) the App Store notified me of the Safari 8.0.2 update. I have not been able to successfully apply the update; every time I try, the App Store gets stuck in a loop where it appears to download and install the update, but actually won't. Immediately after this "fake install", Safari is added to the list of recently-updated apps, but I'm still prompted to update it.
This issue was presented in the following thread, but no resolution suggested in that thread has worked thus far:Safari 8.0.2 will not install

Hi
This was really bugging me too and no thanks to Apple for helping us out!
Here's how I've just fixed it:
Go to System Preferences and select the App Store (4th row 3rd in on mine) and uncheck all the boxes. Quit Safari and open the App Store from your Applications folder (or anywhere else you might have it) and then try the update again. Mine has finally worked after the umpteenth time. I think its set-up to download from iTunes and the two get confused but by doing this it works!! You may want re-check those boxes in System Preferences/App Store afterwards?
Enjoy

Old FaceTime update stuck in App Store Updates

I must not have updated FaceTime before I updated to Mountain Lion (now on 10.8.2), because I have permanently stuck in my App Store Updates and update for FaceTime Version 1.0.2 Released Mar 22, 2011.
How Can I get this out of my MAS Updates?
Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation with the shot. I think I may know what's happening here. The one inside your Applications folder is probably the correct version which you entioned. The MAS probably sees an older version on another partition. Have you used superduper before or any other backup app for related purposes?
Can you use your spotlight to see where else copies of FaceTime may be installed? Thanks.

IOS App Store update loop

I was trying to down load a new app from the iPad App Store. It was called Cards from Apple. Before it downloaded I was told Apple had updated its policies regarding the App Store. That I had to read the changes and click agree. I followed the instructions. Read all 42 pages and had them sent to my email. I then clicked agree. Then I click done. When it began to attempt the download it told me the policies in the App Store have change, I had to read the changes and click agree. I have done this ten times and am still stuck in a loop. I turned off the iPad and tried it again, same loop. Any suggestions? I am not at home so I can't download the app from the iTunes Store and agree to the changes from there.

It's apples ends problem, I'm same as you. They just fixed this loop issue. Try that one last time, and you should be good. ;)

After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Mac App Store Updates stuck in "Waiting". Anyone had this issue before?

Hi,
I stumbled upon this issue yesterday where I had a software update waiting for me at the Mac App Store, and when I hit the update button on the store, the update got stuck in the "Waiting" message that appears to the left side of the "UPDATE" button. The updates did not appeared to download nor start, they just got stuck in the "waiting" stage. Moving to the "featured" section of the app store did not worked to re-highlight the UPDATE button in the update section of the Mac App Store page. The only way I was able to solve the issue was by Force Quitting the Mac App Store and trying again. On the second attempt, when I clicked the UPDATE button the "Waiting" message appeared but then disappeared and showed the expected download and install progressbar in the Mac App Store updates.
I was wondering if someone has seen a similar issue to the one I am describing.
Thanks for your time and answers!

You did the right thing, tried again.
Best.
Hi dominic23,
I see... Well this bugs me off course because is not the normal behavior that I would expect from OS X, but if it sometimes happens, I'll be OK with that. I don't know but I may file a bug report to Apple on this so that they at least know of the issue.
Thanks for the advise!

App Store Update Stuck/Looping - Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0

My system seems to be in an infinite loop trying to install the Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0. At first, it seems like the download is complete and when I click on install, the button immediately turns o "Installed", then shows up in the list of apps updated over the past 30 days but pops back up as an update again with an Update button - starts downloading again, and the downloading seems to never end (ultra slow).
I've tried emptying the temporary folders for anything related to the App Store Updates, rebooting and clearing NVRAM, nothing has worked. I have also tried finding a link to download this update directly but could not find it. I had the same issue when updating to 10.10.3 OS X but used the combo download link to get around the issue and that part of the update is now resolved.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

Tried your suggestion including a reboot, no changes. I have attached a screenshot showing the repeat loop and now the download never seems to complete. Every time I turn my machine back on, it tries resuming the download from where it last left off. This isn't a network issue as I have blazing fast speeds in everything else I do and when I downloaded the OS X 10.10.3 update manually, it went super fact.
Something seems to be stuck or gone haywire in the App Store update. I also tried deleted all the temp files in the temporary directory related to the App Store but still no changes. Also tried a safeboot and doing it from there, no go. Open to any/all suggestions. Thanks

Several apps stuck on "waiting". When I press "install" in the app store update on one of these apps, it just runs the app.

After upgrading to 10.9.5, the App Store "Update" button stopped working.

After upgrading from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 tonight, the App Store "Update" button seems to have stopped working. The App Store says I have one update available (Xcode version 6.0.1), but when I click "Update," the button turns white for a few seconds, and then it turns back to gray without doing anything. I've tried the same steps after restarting my computer twice.
A screen shot is below.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

App Store Update print too small--magnify app?

With large screen(s) these days, there is no reason for fine print. In Safari, a quick <Command>+ makes the text bigger to read without a magnifying glass. While watching my macbook pro upgrade to OS X 10.10.1 today, I was trying to read What's new in Safari 8.0.2 but the print is so small I had to get my new reading glasses.
Wouldn't it be nice if all programs had the same feature as Safari to enlarge the text and take advantage of the new larger 5k high res screens? Apple Help does.
While we're waiting for all the developers to support readable text, can anyone recommend a magnifier app?
Am I really getting so old I have to go to the Accessibility preferences? Can I get the senior discount? Can I have the Talking Moose read me the text from any app?

I remember the day when the Cray supercomputer had 8 processors!

However this does point to a bug in the app store update feature. There should be some way to force a check of applications that updated but are still showing as needed in the app store.

App Store update is not working. Just see a white screen

Does anyone know why my iPad App Store update has stopped working?

Read this on iLounge posted by ahMEmon
Go into Settings > General > International > Language and choose British English, then hit the Done button. The screen will go black with a comment about Language Settings. Be Patient, especially if you have a lot of apps. Let it run it's course and Then open the App Store again. Voila! Upgrade list is back. And it stuck when i changed back to plain English. He doesn't know why. I don't either. But I am now a happy camper. Worked on my 3rd gen iPad and iPad Mini.
Hope it works for you!

App Store Updates (but only Updates) cannot connect to iTunes Store

The App Store icon on my homescreen shows I have 6 updates waiting to download.
When I go to App Store > Updates it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
I can browse online with Safari so have internet connectivity. Every other tab in the App Store (e.g. Top 25) connects and I can download new apps. I can also access the iTunes store by using the iTunes icon - I can view and download anything from iTunes. The ipod touch can therefore connect to the iTunes Store, but for some reason the App Store Updater cannot.
I'm using OS 5.1.1, have searched the forums, shutdown and restarted the ipod, checked the DNS, logged out and in of my iTunes account, used different wi-fi networks, but no progress. Any tips would be massively appreciated !

Thanks schan20, this worked perfect. I closed all apps, double tapping home key from home screen, turned set date and time automatically off, clicked set daate and time, changed year to 2014. I then opened updates on apps and got the security message, went back to set date and time, turned on set automatically, opened app store back up (did not force close after security message) , got to loading and had 21 apps to update
Not sure what caused this initially; but some things I had done in the past were, I had set date and time auto off, I had changed the date and time numerous times in a row for the game deer hunter reloaded to get gold, most of the time stopping around August each time. Other than that, I have not made any major changes or added any apps when it stopped working.

Maverics - App Store Updates broken - Certificate issue

Hi All,
My system - MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15"
After update to Maverics from Lion i cannot use App Store Updates, so now I don't now have my system any updates or not.
The issue is in "wrong" certificate as App Store Updates talkes to me (message in Russian):
Сертификат для данного сервера недействителен. Возможно, Вы подключаетесь к серверу, имитирующему «swscan.apple.com», что может подвергнуть риску конфиденциальность Вашей информации.
(it's told me that it cannot confirm «swscan.apple.com» certificate)
I'm using my local ISP and there's no problems with Apple site and other App store things - I'm able to install programs from it.
I've checked that certificate right now - it's signed with Verisign and seems to be Ok, my safari displays it as green.
How can I recieve updates for my Mac ?

I have the same trouble..
By the way, is this a part of the problem, or it is a normal situation?:

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why?

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why? ..and how do I get rid of it?

I had a similar problem with trying to update using the App Store, and being told that the software was "installed" yet I was still only running 10.8.3.
The App Store was continually saying the 10.8.4 was available but with many tries I still could not download or install it.
And there are a few links to the OSX 10.8.4 (Combo) update that actually lead to a "Cant find this page error" on the Apple site and the App Store.
I did find a link to just the vanilla flavoured OSX 10.8.4 update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658 which is a smaller download of 359mb rather than 849mb with the combo update.
The simple OSX 10.8.4 update downloaded fine with Safari and I installed it with no problems from the finder. A few opening's on closing's of the App Store app made the update flag finally disappear.
I have since come back here to report this and then found the link to 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo) at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 above and found that this link also starts to download the update through Safari and while I decided that I no longer needed it, I would presume that it would still install fine from the finder like the OSX 10.8.4 update did.
So it seems to me that there is a problem with (maybe occasionally) updating from the App Store, but if you download from either of the two "hard" links above and install from the finder it should be fine.

Mac App Store update: right Apple ID but wrong user account

My Mac App Store updates get associated to the wrong user account but the correct Apple ID.
I live in Germany and have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both purchased under Snow Leopard and now running Lion 10.7.2. Just after upgrading to Lion I "purchased" a free App (BibleReader 5.0.0). This morning I logged into my wife's user account on the MacBook Pro, and the App Store icon flagged an update. I switched to my user account and was surprised to see that the update wasn't flagged there. By listing my purchases I did suceed in finding an "update" button for BibleReader, but pressing it resulted in a (German) error message whch translates as "An update is available for another account. Please log in with the account you used to purchase the App". But that is what I had just done.
Intrigued I went back to my wife's user account. By logging onto the Mac App Store with my Apple ID from my wife's user account I did manage to update the app. Later at work I got the same error message on the iMac. But this time the only other user account on the machine belongs to Computing Services: I don't have their password and I ought not to use admin rights to gain access to their account. So I can't perform the upgrade on the iMac.
All family iTunes / App Store purchases are via my main Apple ID. My wife's user account on the MacBook Pro only exists so that I can manually synchronise our iCloud address books (she has an iPad).
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All the applications you purchase on the App Store are registered to your Apple ID, so you have to use your Apple ID to update them, or you have to purchase those applications again using the Apple ID they are using on that computer, so they will be able to update them

I am unable to update my App store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus .IOS8.3

What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
