Why does the App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.)

Why does the Mac App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.) rather than ever finding any updates?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8. After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later.
I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

TS1368 Why does the app store sometimes fail to connect?

I often cannot connect to the app store with my new iPad, while I can at other times. All the support suggestions suggest that my WiFi connection is the problem. However all the other apps that need the WiFi connection, such as Safari, email and Dropbox work all the time. This seems to indicate that my connection is OK. Why is the app store app unable to connect reliably?

It will happen if you activate a new device in your iTunes account, such as a new iPod, or, from my experience, randomly. Apple stepped up security some months back to cut down on fraudulent purchases.

Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.

Why does the App Store need to re-update apps already updated since purchase?

I have noticed that the Mac App Store application flags already updated applications as needing updating when the version numbers of the proposed update and the installed application are identical.
For small apps this is not necessarily a huge problem but for big applications it can be an absolute pain as I have limited band-width at my home address. This costs me time, money (in the case of monthly band-width over-runs) and performance issues.
Is there an easy fix for this? (e.g. tweak / delete a plist file)
Thanks.

This has been a problem since the beginning of the app store. Drives me nuts, too. How long has it been? And they can't get it right? Will they ever get it right? :dunno

Why does the App Store asks for wrong password

Hi,
I'm travelling a lot between the U.S. and Europe, which causes that I have 2 Apple IDs.
So there are some apps I purchased with my US-Apple-ID, and some apps I purchased with my second apple ID.
If I wanted to update my apps from both accounts it first asked my for the password of my 1st Apple ID, then the one of my second.
This worked fine the past two years.
Now it only asks me for one of them, but still wants to update all of my apps. Finally it says that this app has not been purchased before, but I can purchase it know by tapping "ok". (or something like this). I already bought it. why does it ask for the wrong password of the wrong apple id, I didn't purchase it with?
Here are the steps I already tried:
1. restarting my device
2. Sign off and sign back in with my ID I purchased it with. -> Then tapping "Update All" OR just "Update" at a specific app stills asks me for the password of the wrong ID. (I did this with the appstore app and the settings app->AppStore)
3. sign in with the ID I purchased it with, then search for the specific app and hit "update" (where it usually says "buy", or "free" if not installed yet). It still asks me for the wrong apple id.
4. I'm not syncing my apps with iTunes anymore, just music and my photos. I don't want to sync my apps because I would have to reinstall all my apps again and loose all of it's data.
5. I still can buy new apps with both accounts and then it's still asking for the right ID, I want to purchase it with (the one I'm currently signed in).
6. Deleting the app, then sign in with the right ID, search for the ID and redownload the new version worked, but in this case all my app data is lost.
7. In App Purchases are NOT working, it asks for the right password, but then it's says that I have to buy the app again. ?!?
Do you have any idea, why this happend or why I'm unable to update my own apps?

There is a 15-minute window. After 15 minutes of inactivity, you will again be prompted for the password next time you try to purchase/download something.

Why does the App Store open randomly when I'm using Safari?

It simply opens the apps store to some game unprompted. It does it without me touching links. It happens without touching anything.
And yes I have hard reset it and deleted cookies etc. I am not a fool.
I have seen this question come up a lot and Apple have failed to acknowledge it. It's certainly common enough to be a known problem, so why are they ignoring it?

This is happening because of bad ads on a site that you are visiting. These ads are designed to randomly redirect mobile device users to other sites or the App Store if the link is to an App. It has nothing to do with your iPad. The random nature of the re-directs is intended to confuse the user and keep this garbage below the radar.
Turning OFF Javascript bypasses this problem because the mechanism implementing the redirects uses Javascript. This is not really a solution, however, because turning Off Javascript affects all sites and will certainly cause problems.
Complain to the web site to get these ads removed. They may be unaware of the problem.
There is no problem with your iPad.

HT4623 Why does the App Store want my Credit Card details to download a Free App?

In recent months the App Store requests my Credit Card details before it will let me download a Free App. Why is this and am I going to get charged for Free Apps, a few weeks ago my Credit Card was charged $1 for down loading a Free App. Why is this happening? Jeanette143

If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD, to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

Why does the app store want me to give a credit card number to get a free app?

Hello; I've never used my apple account to purchase one thing, yet while I'm signed in to the app store, and I try to down load one of the free apps, I am asked to provide a credit card number. So my question is why must I give such info.? After all, I am not making a monetary purchase. Please explain, for I am confused. If one is required regardless, well , I guess I need to close my apple account, for I disagree with the practice.

I suppose you could think of it as establishing a formal account for general and future use. What usually happens is that your card is tested by charging a nominal amount to it (which is refunded within a day or two). Once that is established you will find a 'None' option will appear when you want to download a free app which indicates no payment.
All purchases made will be recorded on your purchase list whether paid for or not.
There is also a system to purchase without a credit card. See ...
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Why does the app store use so much bandwidth?

My download is taking days and slowing down the connection for everyone else at home. With the download as slow as it is, it shouldn't have the effect it is. Is the app store similar to a bit torrent client? Is there file sharing happening? Does the download improve if the app is not free? I would hesitate to buy anything else using the app store? How long does it take to download something really big like Lion?

It is not a bit torrent. The download usually depends on your ISP's service. My 10 mega service usually downloads things in a couple of minutes. Lion took a couple of hours because it is 7 GB or so.
Something is wrong. I would check with the ISP.
