Since upgrading I can no longer update software from the apps store.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion the apps store keeps telling me that I have software to update. It starts doing it then fails. Its done this about three times now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

Wipe the drive and reinstall Lion.

Can't Update Software from the App Store

The app store will not download any sort of update (iTunes or System Update). I click "install" and I have to "Agree" twice. Then I select "Download & Restart". The progress bar pops up and says "installing" then goes away. Under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" it says has the "iTunes 12.1.2 update" and "OS X Yosemite Recovery Update" even though it never even downloaded and is still listed in the "Update Available" section along with "OS X Update 10.10.3 – Restart Required".
Please help. Thanks!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How can I download Lion if I can no longer find it in the App store?

I have a MacBook4,1- 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I just recently upgraded my harddrive and memory to 4 GB. I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion from (Snow Leopard) but it says that my computer is incompatable. So I was trying upgrade to Lion but I can no longer find it at the app store. What should I try next?

Phone the Apple Store and try ordering Lion.

How do small companies / non-profits purchase software from the app store?

Hello, I have asked this question to a few Apple Business reps and I seem to get conflicting answers depending on the person I talking to.
I work in the I.T. department for a large non-proffit. We are no stranger to purchasing Apple computers, phones and iPads. But we are running in to much confusion when it comes to the purchasing and specifically the licensing of Apple Software from the App Store. For years we have worked with Microsoft and Adobe and have found their licensing (especially for our "one-off" purchases) to be quite helpful. Each time a user requests a software title, we order it and it is put into our licensing account and is charged to our I.T. credit card. Accounting has a clear papertrail to follow as to which department gets "billed" for the purchase and everyone is happy.
However, with Apple, and the App Store, there is no such program for the type of "one-off" purchases we do. Sure, there is an "Enterprise" Volume Licensing solution, but the minimum purchase quantity for software licenses is 20. Most of our requests come in as 1 - 5 copies of a software title. So, Apple's solution to us has been to create a separate Apple ID for each purchase. This worked OK until we got up to 5 Apple IDs on one credit card. This led to yet another phone call to Apple and having them tell me that you can only associate 5 Apple IDs to one credit card... their solution? "Just open up a new credit card for every 5 licenses that you need". That solution is absolutely impossible for our accounting department. I called Apple back to see if I could talk to another business rep. That individual informed me that the only way to get around this is to just purchase pre-paid iTunes gift cards and associate 5 Apple ID's to each one that we buy, then just keep track of them with an Excel sheet. Again, this is an accounting nightmare. What happens when there is money left over on a card? ($5 that is unused may seem trivial, but that ads up!)
Anyway, I'm hoping that somebody has found a decent solution to this, and I REALLY hope that Apple gets their volume licensing program together. They boast about being ready for the corporate world, yet they still have "solutions" in place that require end users to go out and buy iTunes gift cards just to make sure they remain in software compliance????

Oooookay...
I realized that both the iPhoto 9.3.2 and iMove9.0.7 updates are in .dmg format (disk image) up on the support downloads site. So I downloaded them, and applied the iPhoto update (using ARD), which (supposedly) succeeded. Then I tried the iMovie update, and I got the message: "iMovie9.0.7Update.pkg" could not be installed. Error message: "The version of iMovie installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available."
Well, first of all, the iMovie update is over a GB, and no, I'm not going to go walk around to 64 machines and download 64 GBs of network traffic so that each machine can have its own personal special download of the update. The one update. To be repeated with every update. That's what ARD is for!
AND the iPhoto update which supposedly succeeded didn't apparently get applied -- the App Store still shows the update as being needed, and launching the app and doing an "About" says that it's at version 9.3 (650.39).
If I were to create an apple ID for the company, can I attach that one apple ID to all 64 of the macs that the company owns?
Is there any way to update AppStore software without an apple ID tied to the machine? Is there some problem with App Store software licensing? Is it legal to use the software in a business? Is that why the software is quarantined away from these machines? Can it only be sold to an individual employee, and if an employee attaches his/her personal apple ID to a company-owned machine is it even legal to use the software commercially?

Apple's response to my email:
"I understand that you can't update your apps using your iPad.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Have a great day!"

FYI Mac OS X is not designed to be installed on additional Macs, unless you purchased it from the App Store, in which case you can make as many copies as you wish and install it on as many Macs as you own.
From the Recovery Disk Assistant -
Notes
If the computer shipped with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the external recovery drive may only be used with the system that created it.
If the system was upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion purchased from the App Store, the external recovery drive can be used with other similarly-upgraded systems.

How can I download software from the App store a second time?

Hi,
I purchased OS 10.7 from the App store because I no longer had the original discs from my computer.
I downloaded it on to one of my computers, but now I want to put it on a second computer but the App Store say "You've already downloaded this " and I'm unable to get it. The App Store says I can download it 5 times...?
Anyone know the solution?

Go to your second computer, login to the App Store using the same AppleID you used when you purchased OS X Lion and download it from THAT computer. Or, since you mentioned you downloaded it to one computer and both computers are on the same local area network, share the Install OS X Lion.app file with your second computer or put it on an 8GB USB thumb drive, unplug the drive, plug it into your second computer and copy it to its /Applications folder.

Can't update iphoto from the apps store

I purchased iphoto from the apps store (version 9.1.1) to replace/upgrade the version that came with my 2008 imac, but have been unable to update to the current version 9.1.5. When I attempt to update (and the apps store tells me there is an update available for my purchase) a dialog box tells me to log into the account which i used to purchase the program notwithstanding that I am logged into the account. Any suggestions as how to solve this problem?

I imagine if you delete the iPhoto app, you should be able to download and install the current version from the app store without problem. The conflict is probably because the version you purchased is disc based.
Prior to doing this, make sure you backup your hard drive so that you can restore in case you accidentally delete something that you need.

If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

I can't download Xcode 4 from the App Store.

Hi Everyone,
I am getting a strange error, while trying to downloadXcode 4 from the App store. I have also contacted with the iTune store onlinehelp and other support division of Apple. I have talked with the Apple representativeyesterday about an hour but he couldn’t recognize this error message.
My first question is how to solve this? As no body has ananswer, whom do I ask if Apple technician said, “ I don’t know how to solvethat”? I am using OS Lion 10.7.1
Are they not tested well before launching this in to the Appstore; I thought only Microsoft has this kind of problems. Now after migratingto Apple I am having issues, than what is the meaning of investing more? I canuse the open source “ Ubuntu” or other OS.
Your help is appreciated! If any one can solve it.

Are you trying to update the original Xcode installer, is it still resident in your Applications folder? Because that is usually why a delta update is involved, it is updating a previous version of an app. If this is the case, then I would put the installer in the Trash and restart the Mac. Do not empty the Trash. Now see if the MAS will allow you to download the full installer for Xcode, since it can no longer detect the existence of the previous versions installer.

Trying to update Xcode from the App Store

I'm trying to update XCode 4.1 to 4.2 from the App Store and it fails (4 times so far!), tried fixing permissions, verifying the drive, down-loading Via WiFi and Wired; every time (after down-loading 1.8Gig) It just starts down-loading again
This is the error log I get:
14/10/2011 19:22:05.237 installd: PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=123 "The update was cancelled because the application integrity could not be verified."

    PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.apple.pkg.InstallXcodeLion";
I'm based in the UK (if that makes any difference), have also tried dropping the Firewall settings to the minimum I can (without switching it off), all other App store down-loads work OK as did the update to 10.7.2 (so I don't think it can be a network/firewall issue).
The only thing I can think-of at the moment is removing 4.1 and trying a fresh install of 4.2 from the App store.
Any other ideas or suggestions (I'm now getting very close to my monthly bandwidth limit)?

By way of an update:
The only way I cold het 4.2 was to un-install XCode 4.1 and do a clean install of 4.2. At least it allows me to back-up the installer to a DVD so I won't have to down-load it when I update the live dev machines.

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

I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.
