Updates don't appear in mac app store

Hi, I have a problem with the mac app store. I enter to it and in updates it says that I haven't updates. But I have a lot of apps to update... I had this problem time before but with the terminal and some codes I could repair. But now I can't find this method. I have a MacBook Air (13 inc, mid 2013) with Yosemite 10.10.1
I have tried this method but don't work:
Logout, close app store, open app store and loggin with my account.
- Go to the Spotlight system preferences.
         - Go to the Privacy tab.
         - Add your boot drive ("Macintosh HD") to the privacy list and close the preferences.
         - Open the preferences again and remove your hard drive from the list.
         - Reboot the system.
     3. Try resetting the Mac App Store.
     - Enable the debug menu and restart the Mac App Store: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
   - Choose the Reset Application option and restart the Mac App Store.
     4. Purge the Caches:
     rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
     rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
     rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
     rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
     rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
     5. Changing my region to USA and reset.
So I need a solution...
Thanks!

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 in OS X 10.9 or earlier, 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.

  • I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • I've got the Macbook Pro with leopard, if i want to get Lion for it, do i have to get snow leopard first? i don't have a mac app store!

    Ian, this might help explain it a bit more:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    It's only available from the store, and you need 10.6.6 to access the store. But if you can download it using 10.6.6 on another machine, you'll be able to install it on a machine meeting the hardware requirements (it doesn't matter which OS was installed on it).

  • How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

    How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

    It has never been on the MAS. It's never been a download anywhere (except, maybe, as a pirated version on a torrent, which, along with being "free," will probably bring along some nice malware.)  It has always been a DVD, which may be possible to obtain by calling Apple and asking for Phone Sales. Should stlll only be $29.

  • OS Updates Never Appear in Mac App Store

    I'm running OS X v.10.8.2, and have noticed that OS updates have never appeared in the Mac App Store since installing Mountain Lion in the fall of 2012. No error messages have ever appeared. I'm sure that there have been security updates issued, as well as updates to iTunes and Safari since then. The store does notify me of updates to specific apps that I have downloaded from the store, such as Pages and Numbers. I've tried (1) clearing the Mac App Store cache, and (2) fixing my disc permissions. Neither of these has caused any OS updates to appear. The Settings pane for Software Update (System Preferences) reports that the last update request occured in October of 2012. Numerous requests have been attempted since then.
    Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Just reporting back to say that installing 10.8.4 did not solve the problem. I've also tried bypassing my wireless LAN, a potential fix for this problem suggested by others. That didn't help either! Maybe I will simply make do with periodic manual updates.

  • Don't want the Mac App Store

    I'm one of those rare fruit (Mac) users who doesn't care for itunes or anything of the sort (I'm really not a Mac fan; I got the computer because I can abuse it more and have it still function with the solid state hard drive). I hate seeing updates for itunes. I imagine the Mac App Store is similar (although for the OS), and I don't want it. How do I install 10.6.6 without installing the Mac App Store?
    Also, I read in another thread that a fruit can hibernate. How would I do this? I hate the battery drain when I put it to sleep, and frequently have a bunch of stuff open because I'm completing a long project, like a 60+ page paper that takes me multiple days, if not multiple weeks to complete. Thanks.

    That's a good idea (leaving it plugged in all the time) aside from the fact that I'm cheap as heck. Being poor has something to do with it since I'm a grad student. When I'm not using my printer, can opener, toaster, etc. I unplug them or turn them off. Because of this, during the summer I'm able to have electric bills under 20 dollars a month for my apt. I used to even turn of my router every night when I wasn't using it but got fed up with resetting it every time. I also don't use air conditioning and live in KY (my asthmatic lungs react better to heat with humidity than dryness, and to save $). I know - I'm completely different than the norm, but I get by with my quirks. How much do you think it would cost me extra a year to leave my computer plugged in and "sleeping" every night?
    If I go into itunes with the preferences, could I make it so itunes never looks for updates? Thanks again.

  • I don't have the Mac app Store in my computer, how i can download! (mac os x 10.6.8)

    i don't know how update or download the app: MAC APP STORE. i have the app but every time i open, that closes. Plues the icon is a blank sheet of paper whit two pencils.. help!!

    First, reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399 Then, you should be able to use the Mac App Store.
    If it doesn't work, reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, start your computer holding the C key and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. After reinstalling Mac OS X, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8

  • IMovie won't update to 9.0.8, Mac App Store tells me I have to buy?

    So, the problem I am having, as alluded to by the title, is that in the "Updates section of the Mac App Store, iMovie has an update to 9.0.8 listed, but when I attempt to update to the new version, the Mac App Store tells me I need to buy it, However, iMovie came preinstalled on my 1 1/2 month old Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I don't use iMovie often, so it's not a big deal, but I do find it very annoying.

    When you get a new Mac with the iLife apps preinstalled, you need to accept these apps into your Mac App Store (MAS)/iTunes Stores Apple ID. Have you done that?
    Normally soon after setting up your new Mac you need to open the MAS and sign into your account. Go to the Purchased pane and acccept the three iLife apps.

  • Update Photoshop Elements 9 from mac app store

    Hi!
    I have been using the PSE 9 Editor from the Mac App Store for a few years. Mostly for editing RAW files from my canon DSLR.
    However, I just bought a mirrorless Olympus E-PL5, and the CameraRAW that comes with PSE9 will not open the RAW files from it.
    There are updates to both PSE9 and CameraRaw on the adobe website, but none of these work with the Mac App Store Version.
    Any ideas on how to solve this?
    -Fred

    Frankly, it's generally a bad deal to buy the app store version of PSE. Aside from the difficulties updating, you can't install anything that involves deleting mediaDatabase.db3, and once a new version of PSE is available in the app store there's no way to download older versions again. Adobe does make older versions available on their site for download, but they don't recognize your apple ID as a serial number.
    EDIT and you pay a premium--you can usually find the boxed version for much less than the app store price if you shop around.

  • TS3638 Sign in window does not appear in Mac App Store.

    I have been trying to work this out for a week or so. I already tried verifying and repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the com.apple.appstore.plist file. Whenever I click the sign-in button (featured page or purchases page) nothing happens. I don't have FruitMenu or APE installed. There doesn't seem to be any help on Apple Support other than this: Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text. I have also tried downloading an app that I had previously purchased, to see if the log-in would come up, and nothing. Please Help!

  • Updates don't clear from the app store

    This is not so much a question on how to fix, but possible bug issue.  In the past when you would update and app, when the app update completed and you closed the app store, the next time you opened the app store it would be empty.  Now  that I'm on iOS 7, I close the app store and come back, the updated apps are still on the update screen with the date they were updated.  Unfortunately, they don't clear when you sync then with iTunes and it appears that they eat up precious disk space on the device.
    I haven't added anything new, but have 9 updates and lost nearly 400MB in the process.

  • How do I get Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 to stop appearing in Mac App Store after I've installed it?

    Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 appeared in my App Store a few weeks back (I'm running an 2011 MBP with 10.10.4 and have been using the betas). I installed it, and it continues to appear as an update every day. No matter how many times I install it, it continually comes back. I even wiped out all of my codecs in /Library/Quicktime, reinstalled the PVF. I downloaded the standalone installer, ran that. No change. I've seen a few mentions of this online, but hoping for a fix!

  • I don't have the Mac App Store on my computer. It's not in my applications.

    I wnated to download the new mountain lion software but I can't get it in the App Store, because there is no App Store on my computer. Can I download it? Is it supposed to be in my applications folder?

    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion won't be released to the public until sometime this summer and at this time, the requirements are unknown  >  Apple - OS X Mountain Lion
