Why my mac app store show in chinese?

The night before, I update my MacBook Pro to Lion and installed Mac-os-x-update combined and Lion-recovery-update from Software update. Nothing strange. When I opened the Appstore the evening after ( the 6th 0r 7th time since updated), the five words in the top row ( feature, top, categories,.., downloaded) are in chinese not english like ever before.

Open the App Store then click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the window then select your country from the next window.
You may need to quit then relaunch the App Store for changes to take effect.

Mac App Store showing already installed updates

Hello there,
Mac App Store shows me often, but not always, already installed updates. Downloading them again doesn't help. Checking the version number in these programs, the updates are correctly installed. This is a little bit annoying and the update list gets a little bit crowded. Is there any solution for this problem? I have installed Mac OS 10.7.2. There's just one Apple-ID.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Tobi

My mac app store shows someone else's update

My Mac App Store is showing someone else's update. the update is for an app called CodeBox. I've never heard of it, not even purchasing it. when I tried to cleaning my computer's cache, it's still there. What should I do?? It's very irritating for my family...

I can't see how it has achieved such notariety in your household ... it is simply an inexpensive developers tool.   That said, you or someone else has downloaded it at some time; it won't just appear.
But you can check that.   As it is a paid app, it will appear in your purchases list (hidden or unhidden) and if by some odd situation it doesn't, write to the billing department and ask for a copy of the account it featured on.
In terms of getting rid of it, the chances are it could have been partially deleted by the person who downloaded it.   But you have a clone or similar in your system and that is why MAS is picking it up and showing the update availability.
You're going to have to search a little harder, I'm afraid.

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?

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try again.

Mac App Store Shows Wrong Firmware Update

My Mac App Store on my Macbook Air shows an update for the following firmware:
MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
Obviously that shouldn't be there since I'm on a MacBook Air. The real issue other than that showing up in the list is that checking for updates times out on the server, sometimes with the timeout 1001 error, and I'm not able to get updates for any other apps, including iTunes.
Does anyone know how to reset the app store so that it can figure out what kind of laptop I'm using? I tried looking for the com.apple.appstore... file that I saw in the forum somewhere but there was no such file under /Library/Preferences to remove.
I did manually download that MacBook Pro 2.9 update and ran it to see if that would clear it, but it didn't. (And it wouldn't install, obviously, because it doesn't work on my system.)
I did download iTunes 11 and installed it outside the App Store, which worked, and I also updated my MacBook firmware to the latest. And finally, I put on the 10.8.2 supplemental package manually, but none of this has fixed the app store.
Anyone know what to do?

Fixed my own problem after some searching. I deleted the software update file with this command:
sudo find / -type f -name com.apple.SoftwareUpdate\* -exec rm -f {} \;
Then after that it all worked fine, including removal of the MacBook Pro firmware update.

Why the mac app store(Germany) doesn't sell a lot of popular Games? (For example: GTA San Andreas, or Call of Duty 4) ?

Here in the mac app store in Germany I bought me the Game GTA Vice City then i saw in the Internet that the app store has got the Game GTA San Andras but not for the app store in Germany. Why ?

Apple sells the apps in the stores that the developers wish to have them sold. This developer perhaps does not want to sell this app in Germany at this time.

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.

Mac App Store showing updates for an app I didn't purchase

The Mac App Store keeps showing updates for 'Nyan Cat: Lost in Space', but I have not purchased this app. When I click 'update', it shows up with somebody else's email address, which I did not recognise, and if I try to enter my email address + password it does not accept.

Let me beat you to it here... the Apple ID you are seeing is....
DRUM ROLL !!!!
[email protected] <-- TRALLAHHHH LAHHHHH!!
This is because you (or let's say someone else) has been doing some very naughty Utorrenting.
Now, with this info to arm yourself, you may be able to figure out what cracked item you have placed on that machine.

Why is Mac App Store so slow in China?

Accessing the Mac App Store is extremely slow in China. It is so frustrating.
It is slow when loading, searching, downloading, etc.
Is it possible for Apple to set up some servers in China so that the users here can have better experience?

Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. This is a user to user forum. No one here knows Apple's future plans.

Mac App Store shows already installed updates

I'm new in Mac OS, I bought MacBook Pro ME864.
I have already install Mac OS Yosemite, but App Store keep saying that update available.
Every time when I install this update again nothing changes, but the space on my hard disk decreases.
What is wrong with it? How can I get back my memory?

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore

Mac App Store showing already installed 10.9.1 update

Hi, app store is showing me an os x mavericks 10.9.1 update which is already installed. I tried downloading it(whole OS X Mavericks installation 5,29GB), and install, but even after installing it app store is still showing me that update, and I cant remove it. Any suggestion? Thank you!

I have the same problem with iMovie. Apple has removed the Hide Update function, so you might send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Try re-indexing Spotlight. That has worked for me sometimes.

Why is my App Store showing prices in yen or ¥

This never happend before. Although I did download apps from japan(under my japan Apple ID). But I'm using my US Apple ID though and my region is US not japan.

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Why is my App Store showing that an update is available for LION?

Anyone have any ideas please? My installation is up to date with 10.7.1 and Software Update also reports my software is up to date?
Thanks
David
