Update failed causing App Store and other apps to not open anymore
HELP!!
I was trying to make a general update of OS X v10.8.2 as sugested from the App Store, but something went wrong and it showed "could'nt be updated because of a problem". Now I can't open App Store, Mail and iTunes shows a message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes". Only I can download anything anymore and the App Store won't even start!
can anyone PLEASE help?
See if you can download and install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
If not, restore OS X.
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities using OS X Recovery
From there you can restore your Mac.

If this doesn't work, which it didn't in my case, then download
Pacifist.

You will need a copy of the Maverick installer.
Use Pacificst to " Open Apple Intallers"
The go to Contents of Mavericks->Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware->Contents of Essentials.pkg->Applications
Then Click on the programs that don't seem to be working and insall. This helped me update certain applications that weren't working such as App Store, Font Book, Mail, and any others. -
Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?
You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts. -
If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be? I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.
If you haven't already contacted iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : 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

I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below. I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my iPad 2?
Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my ipad 2?
If you had a backup either in iTunes or iCloud of the iPad you can restore from it by following this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If not you can go into the Purchased section of the App Store App, and download your Purchased Apps from there for free. However their data will not be restored. -
I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get a refund ?
First, contact the developer of the app and ask for assistance. Then if you cannot get the problem resolved, go to the following link, explain the reason for your request, including that the developer was unable to solve the problem, and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
Though a refund is not guaranteed, it's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck. -
I purchased a Logic Pro 9.1.6. from App Store and when I try to open it, it's asking for a serial number. That shouldn't happen, they told me on Applecare Professional Application Support. Once I had a "trial version" of Logic Pro 9.0.0. Does this matter?

Yep, there's versions and "versions". But I'm a poor, stupid guy and now I had my first chance to get The REAL Logic Pro. So please, if somebody could help me with that I would be grateful.
You would need to delete all of the Logic Audio related preference files, reciepts...etc, located in these folders.
~/Library/Preferences
Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Receipts
And possibly
~/Library/Applicationsupport/ProApps
I guess it's possibly safe to assume that all of the people posting on this board asking why the App Store version is requesting a serial have been using pirated software. -

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X. -

TS1702 App Store and Itunes app
I lost the App store and itunes apps on an ipod touch... I've already tried syncing the ipod but it didn't come back. How do I get them back?
Thank you... They were in restrictions. For whatever reason, my son's iPod wasn't asking for a password when he was purchasing an App so, I turned it off in restrictions, not realizing it actually removed the App. Thanks for the help!
