Why Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On. stopping Lion download?
I just purchased Mac os x lion and this message is popping up : Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Help! How do i get it to install?
Ran into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.
So I thought I would try downloading it on another computer with Lion. That didn't work either. As soon as it finished download it installed and deleted the installer.
What a pain.
If you can start from scratch, you should be able to rename the file, do the Lion install then after the Lion install rename it back. Then do the server install. I'm not sure what that will do to existing server configs though. There must be some reason Apple set up the Lion installer this way.
Oh, now I can't reboot into my existing OS. It keeps rebooting into the installer. Tried the option key and both options are named something like base os. Neither boots my existing Snow Leopard. Gonna have to get an external DVD drive and install from scratch I think. Luckily this is a new server not in production, so not a big deal. I hope people with production machines read the boards and tread carefully.

What is meant by waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on.
Can't get past that step to upgrade xserver from 10.6.8 to 10.7. I am trying to upgrade my xserver 10.6.8 to 10.7. I have purchased the os x lion and the lion server, and they are both downloaded on the machine, but it will not let me get past the step of waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on. Anyone know what that is or where I can get it? App store never starts a download. tia

Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade Mac OS X Server to Mac Lion Server. I get this message when i try to install the OS X Lion
Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Please help.the message is normal, you are requested to wait!
check that, when "install" is pressed in App Store a new icon should go to your dock (the "install MacOSX lion" application itself).
the upgrade is up to 4Gb and apple serves at no more than 200-400Kbps (at least to my country), so be patient.
If you need more patience, but JUST NOOOOOWWW!!! =)
then you can see your network activity in Utilities -> Activity Monitor -> Network
Let us know if there is no Activity during the download!
And also if you successfully install lion! -
Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab. I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't. Where are all my purchases? I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices. Help! I really don't want to buy them all again.
The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

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.

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.

I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
Thanks!
SmettSkyAs you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard. -
Why is the app store requesting billing info for a "Free" app? The app is Pinger desktop
I tried to download Pinger Desktop from the App Store, which is listed as FREE. Why is the App Store asking for my billing information for a free app?
If you have a None payment option, choose that.

i changed my app store from canada to india and for that i'd to update my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. once the day i added the card details. and then another one 3 days later. why did that happen?
i read soemwhere that it automatically gets credited back within 3-5 working days.
waited for more than 7 days but no credit was given back.
m feeling bad that i got charged without making any purchase.Each time that you add or change the card details on your account (and possibly also if you change your name and address, as the card needs to be registered to the same name and address as on your iTunes account) you will be charged a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that the card is active, but it should disappear within a few days or so (the amount of time that it takes will vary by card issuer) : store holding charge.
Give it a few more days, and if it still hasn't disappeared then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
hi i have problem with my mac os x10.5.8 i cant't download new upload ?and the problem is that i can't found my app store on my mac .any help plz
If you can... you need to Upgrade your OS X to 10.6.8
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading... -
Why isn't my app store on my mac working?
Every time I try and go into my app store on my mac to update my apps, it sits there loading before a box pops up and say "App store cannot verify a secure connection with the App store. Would you like to connect anyway?" I press continue and it just sits on a black screen and I can't do anything.
What can i do to fix it?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 and 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.
