Why Mac App Store cannot resume broken transfer?
Everyday I start download of xcode, at the end of day it archived several hundred MBs, but the next day the download start from 0 again, it took me two weeks and I'm still trapped in this!

Click the lock icon to prevent further changes.

- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading
- Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.

Mac App Store cannot update itunes, OS and remote desktop; keep saying it is updated and yet ask it ask you to update as in fact it is not updated

I search my problem on web and got no solution.
1) mac app store shows some updates needed. e.g. itunes, remote desktop.
2) I clicked "update", and it changes to "installed" within seconds and then shows I have installed the update.
3) But the problem is that the software is NOT updated and the "installed icon" changes back to "update" immediately.
4) the picture below shows what happened.
5) As you can see, the remote desktop is updated twice on Mar 3 and is version 3.8.2 v1.1 but the mac app store prompt me to update it.
6) I cannot update the new version of MAC OS too.
Solution:
1) Restart app or OS. >> Failed.
2) Rebuild spotlight >> Failed.
3) Genius bar >> No hope as the Genius bar is fully booked all the time (rumors that people are selling the timeslots, guess where am I?).
Can any one help me on that.
Thanks a lot.

I tried the debug mode in mac app store too >> Fail.
The first time I feel disapointing from apple software.

The apps on mac apps store not resumable download

I have bought hitman,,,, it take 20 GB of the apps,,,, i downloaded 4, 5 to 7 GB then i stop it,,, next time i open mac apps store, why download start from the first?

You have system sounds muted. The button just above the volume control on the upper right hand side of your iPad can mute system sounds, OR it can lock screen orientation. Move it up to see what you've got it set as (you'll see a box in the middle of the screen that tells you). If you have lock screen orientation selected, double tap hour home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). With your finger, swipe the task bar apps all the way to right, revealing a mute icon on the far left side. Touch it and you'll turn system sounds back on.

Why US app store cannot accept to pay in foreign visa card?

Hello.
I'm Korean but living in japan now.
so maybe my english is not perfect. Sorry.
My question is,
Why US app store does not accept to pay in foreign visa card?
US app store is the biggest app store and sometimes i want to buy one. But i can't.
Because the US app sotre only accept US credit card. I actually use my korean credit card in japanese app store, why US app store doent accept it?
(*In addition,
Why to make account, i should write address. I can't understand. I think what apple need is credit card infomation, not where i'm living.
Because of that, It is troublesoem when i buy japanese gift card to my brother who lives in korea. I cannot understand why gift card cannot be gift.
Anyway, if the usage of foreign visa card cannot be allowed,
my next question is that how about app store does sell gift card in other coutry's apple store??
As i mentioned, US app store is most biggest store. Many people who dont live US, even want to use US app.
How about selling the gift card on each country's apple store?
For example, korean apple store sells US gift card and korean gift card both. Korean who want to use US app store, can buy gift card in korean credit card. It's same as selling ipad!
Actually, i heard some people who lives in US, sell US gift card to those who want to use US app store.
If so, i really hope apple sell gift card through apple store officially.
Thank you.

Because purchases via the App Store are quite independent of purchases from other media or means. So, if you want to re-install an app that was installed via Disk, then use the Disk. There is no way such apps can be reinstalled or updated via the App Store.
Why? You'll need to ask Apple.

Mac App Store Download Resume

Hello
I'm using Mac App Store on Lion, But there is a problem with download resume. After every system restart I can't resume my previous downloads and I have to download them from the beginning, I also checked and I have no AppStore directory at this path ~/Library/Application Support/ I'm wondering if anyone have a solution for this issue.
Regars

You won't find any App Store system files in ~/Library/Support but you are on the right track.
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.4
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try the App Store.
If that doesn't help, quit the App Store.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

Mac App Store cannot update any app

Hello!
I have a major problem with the Mac App Store, ever since I updated to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Whenever I want to update any of my apps which I had purchased/downloaded from the App Store back in Mountain Lion, I get an error like this:
This happens with all my apps, and I really need Xcode and the iWork suite for my projects. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have already tried clearing the App Store cache by getting rid of the com.apple.appstore folder, resetting the entire app by enabling the Debug menu. Nothing doing.

Why my app store cannot display iPhone App?

I am using iOS 6
When I try to search an App, it can show me the result in iPad App Section. But when I go to iPhone App section, it have nothing. It is fine if it really don't have any iPhone App, but it still show i got 751 result.
When I go back to iPad App section, it have nothing too. I need to search again. What is wrong with my App Store?

That is her standard answer to this known problem. And it is not a bug!
You have a pirated app that is from the MAS and the app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from an app acquired with this person's MAS account. Get rid of your pirated apps to get rid of the issue.
Whichever was that last app that you downloaded for free from somewhere, rather than paying for it in the MAS, is likely the culprit.

My mac app store cannot get a secure connection although my internet is fine and i have the correct time and date. I cannot get onto the app store to update. It just keeps saying cannot make a secure connection do i want to continue anyway

see above

This procedure is complicated, but you probably won't have to do all of it.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the issue is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If it's down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Check that the date (including the year) and time shown by your system clock are correct.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate.
Step 4
If you connect to the Internet through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy server, follow the instructions in this support article, or deselect the proxy entirely.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and test.
Step 6
Make sure Parental Controls aren't active for your account.
Step 7
Follow the instructions in this support article to change your DNS settings. If there's no change, revert the settings.
Step 8
If possible, test on a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the cellular network of your phone.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Next, select the login keychain. Delete any expired or otherwise invalid certificates.
Log out, log back in, and test.
Step 10
Launch the Activity Monitor application. Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
If not, back up all data, then triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Move all the files in the folder that opens to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 11
If you've moved to a different country, select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then click
Change Country or Region
and update your billing information.

Why does Mac App Store log me out in the middle of a download of Lion and "resume" won't work?

I have previously purchased a copy of OS Lion and have been loading it onto each of three Macs in our home network. This worked fine for an iMac G7 and iMac G5, but is failing for a White Macbook (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Other apps have been successfully downloaded on the Macbook, so the problem seems to be only associated with Lion (which is a 3-4hr dowload).
When I log onto my Mac App Store account and select "Purchases", my prior purchase of Lion is there as it should be. I then select "Install" and it starts to download as expected. Then about 10 minutes into the download, it pops-up that it is going to log out and offers me the option to click "cancel" (within so many seconds) to elect not to log out. If I select "cancel", it continues to download normally until about an hour later when the same thing occurs, and so on. If I do not select "cencel", then it logs out and when I log back in "Resume" doesn't work in App Store. It shows that zero GB have been downloaded when at least 1GB have already been downloaded.
So, unless I sit there vigilantly watching the download for 4 hours to select "cancel" whenever it pops up. I just can't download the software this way. With a capped data plan, this has the potential to be very expensive.
Btw, I have tried the simple thing of switching from a WIFI connection to cable, but this had no impact on the problem.
Can anyone help?

but is failing for a White Macbook (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8)
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try again.

After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc

Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me

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.

HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the Mac App Store?

I cannot update apps, or download Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
Never experienced this before.

I need to clarify the problem:
software update returns:
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

HT4461 Why do I have to repurchase apps I already own through the Mac App Store to get updates there?

It's a simple question but I cannot find an answer. I just know you can't. It makes no sense to not allow us to even purchase an update at a lower cost as opposed to repurchasing the app from the app store at the full cost. Can anyone say why this is the case? It makes me not want to ever use the app store.

I get that, but that's not the point. What I am saying is that the customer experience is poor. It should work the same as it used to when you bought software from a brick and mortar store.
When you buy an app (software) from a sellers website, you should be able to purchase an upgrade from any vendor. This means even though I bought an app like OmniPlan direct from the OmniGroup... It would be nice to purchase the upgrade, or even download the update from Apple's Mac App Store.
It just makes for a better customer experience.

Why use mac app store

ok so I have been looking for an article as to why one would want to use the mac app store as oppsoed to just finding what you want online.
im guessing the app store is safer... you cant get a virus from an app downloaded from there.
And it updates through the app store... but sometimes I see apps that dont update on the app store but DO update on the website.
I also wish app store had an 'related apps' bar under the app you are currently viewing so you can see other choices of similar products and their ratings.

ok so I have been looking for an article as to why one would want to use the mac app store as oppsoed to just finding what you want online.
You are correct that downloading from the App Store is safer. Apps in the App Store have been "cleared" by Apple, and they also have to abide by strict sandboxing restrictions (which limit what the apps are able to do). Although that's not a guarantee that an app couldn't do something sneaky, it certainly does limit the possibilities and makes it very unlikely that this would be a concern.
Because App Store apps are limited in capabilities, you may from time to time need to download something from a source outside the App Store. When you do, as long as the app is created by a developer who is registered with Apple, and the app is "code signed" by that developer using a certificate issued by Apple, then you will be able to open that app as well. (Unless you have changed your Gatekeeper settings to only allow App Store apps.) Such apps cannot be guaranteed to be safe, but if a developer is discovered to be distributing signed malware, Apple can simple revoke the developer's certificate and the app will no longer open.
By default, you will be prevented from opening apps that are not signed, which present the highest risks.
For more information on this sort of stuff, see my Mac Malware Guide.
