Why does everything I try to install/download from the app store pause?
I'm using an imac 2011 and trying to update Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I've also tried to reinstall Logic Pro 9 from Purchases.
But every time I try to install something, the icon pops up on the dock (clearish) and says paused?
Any help here guys? Cheers.
Anything from third party apps, to bad router, or modem.... even ISP.
Try to download through a test user account and see if they work better?

Why am I unable to to install XCode from the App Store?
I'm running Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2) on my 2010 era Macbook Pro, and I installed the latest security update from Apple yesterday (4/23/2014).
Today I'm trying to install XCode (because I need it for Maven and Unison), and when I click on the green "Download" button next to it in the App Store search results for "Xcode" the button changes to "Installing" and then nothing happens.
Looking at the console log I notice the following, which makes me wonder if this is an App Store bug:
ERROR: ITSExceptionHandler: {message:"TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'document.querySelector("#header").removeClassName')", url:"https://se.itunes.apple.com/htmlResources/EC0D/da-storefront-autoinstallations.j s", lineNumber:"326"}
If so, is there another way to make sure I've got an officially approved copy?Thanks for the hint! I hadn't realized that Xcode 5.1.1 was so huge (2.18Gb) and assumed after an hour that the installation had frozen.

Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. -
Why should I "Sign in to download from the App Store"
Why does this pop up on my screen: "Sign in to download from the App Store" when I am NOT trying to download an app or anything? It interrupts my work, and looks questionable?

Thank you thomas_r. I did what you mentioned, and in System Preferences, it said: "The App Store keeps OS X and apps from the App Store up to date." I did not realize that OS X updates are now being done through the App Store, so I updated preferences so OS X updates will automatically download. I hope now I do not get these sign-in messages, and my computer stays up to date!
i have my App Store set so that nothing is automatically downloaded, and I have never gotten the type of popup you mentioned. Depending on your system, you could end up with unwanted upgrades by using the automatic setting. The App Store recently updated EVERY instance of Evernote on my Mac Pro, rendering it unusable on two io the drives. There are a few updates that you might not want at all, such as iTunes 12. Setting it on automatic gives you NO control.
It is a fairly dumb updater. I was able to retrieve an earlier version of Evernote from a backup, but was not pleased at the behavior of the update process. Even Adobe's updaters aren't that bad. -

hello everyone! i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture. my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro). how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?
Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

I have my new HD in a USB enclosure connected to my MacBook Pro and I want to put a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on it. I'm told that I need to boot from the Installation Disk to start. But I do not have an install DVD as I got ML as a download from the App Store. Can I download ML from the App Store again, but this time directly to my new HD?
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present setup to it and boot from it.
Most commonly used backup methods
However, SOME external enclosures are not bootable, you will soon find out. -
Downloading from the App Store the message "There was an error in the app store. Try again later (4)'. Then 'unexpected error'.
I've been getting this message now for the last couple of days. I can download other apps on my phone with the same apple ID but have now experienced this on my Mac firstly when downloading Yosemite immediately after being asked for my ID password, and then having tested with a couple of other apps, so it's not related to the download.
I'm using OS X 10.9.5 on a Mac Book Air.
I've shut down on a number of occasions and tried again
App Store is version 1.3 (201.7)Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
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. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*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.

I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion? I have still 487GB free.
Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
If not then run through this list
