When I try to update an app in the App Store i get a message "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)" I have tried many many times and keep getting the same message. How do I resolve?
First take the steps recommended in this support article. If there's no change, continue as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*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
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
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. -

Whenever I try to download an app [from the app store on the computer], a popup message appears saying 'A server with the specified hostname could not be found'. What could I do to resolve this? I am using a MacBook Pro laptop. There is around 250 gb of free space. Please help
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to update. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created. -
Whoops, I think I should have posted my message here...Anyway, I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store but get a message saying I don't have enough disc space. The game requires 30 G and when I look at my internal hard drive it shows 60 G free.
What gives?Jenniferwood2829 wrote:

It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device. -

When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
Any suggestions?
ThanksRestart your Mac then try again.

After I open ITunes if I try to connect to the ITunes store or the App Store i get an error message.
It reads
"ITunes Has Stopped Working"
"A problem caused the priogram to stop workin correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available"
I have rebooted, made sure I am up to date with itunes version and windows but it still wont work. My internet connection is fine
How do I reestablish contact with the ITunes store?Hello. Have you tried using Safe Mode yet? For PC hold F8 on startup and select Safe Mode from Advanced Boot options screen. Also try reinstalling iTunes. Also open up the error console (wherever that might be; I'm a Mac person) and post the error that is causing it to quit. Hope it works!

M. Lion error: A server with the specified hostname could not be found
Hi,
I haven't been able to update apps since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Keep getting the error in the subject of this post.
Not even able to install the upgrade to 10.8.2 . Don't even see the option in the App Store and when I download the upgrade manually fom the Apple Support site, the installation fails saying that it can not be installed on my hard drive because I need have 10.8.2 installed !!
I saw a discussion for a similar error that recommends checking and fixing the Hosts file. I think there's an error on mine but it would not let me save it after i make a change. I've pasted the contents of my host file below to make sure that there's in fact an error on it (on the last line - looks like an IPv6 address even tough I don't use this type of address).
Thanks in advance for any help you could proovide
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhostHi Chris,
great news. I could not find any of the files you listed except for this one:
"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist"
After I renamed this one, my updates started working.
Thanks much for the great suggestions

I can't set up mountain lion server coz hostname can't find
Found the solution,
review the /private/etc/hosts (with nano, vi, or other text editor you want to use) and be sure, that your localhost addresses are available, and no line is corrupted.
In my case, i had a line at the beginning that was corrupted, so i had to delete it, and then the server app, found the server (itself, that's why the loopback address)
Hope it helps! -
When trying to use the App Store, I get a message "could not sign in, an unknown error has occurred, any suggestions what is wrong? I reset our Internet and turned off the iPad.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
