Won't allow downloads

Partitioned a drive and decided to re-install everything again. Install Lion 10.7 onto the drive open up App Store and try and download FCPX, Motion & Compressor and a warning comes up saying 'can't install because I haven't got 10.7.2 installed. Whats that all about? Do bear in mind that in the purchases section it also says that my FCPX 10.0.3 update is ready to download even though it isn't installed. This is paired with the fact at least 50% of my purchased Apps says they have already been installed. Really don't know what going on.

Move all the files in bold print below to the Trash.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
/LIbrary/Preferences/System Configuration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference.
If that didn't work, try installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo)

  • Added iCloud to ipad but now iTunes won't allow downloads. Error message: cannot connect to iTunes

    I can open iTunes but if I click to download any app an error message pops up stating cannot connect to iTunes please try again later. I reset my Wifi router n deleted address and reset it on ipad, iTunes password reset then updated on ipad, restarted devices and still nothing. I just added iCloud to my ipad and it may have an incompatibility problem and all my phones and iPods don't get an error message and downloading completes no problem. Please help,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Logging into iCloud with the Apple ID you use for iTunes, won't affect iTunes in anyway.

  • CD/DVD reads disc, but won't allow downloading

    I'm having an issue where my CD/DVD drive recognizes the CD or DVD, but when I try to download the content from the disc I receive error messages. Happens with any CD/DVD. For example I loaded the Turbotax disc and it recognized it as the Turbotax disc, but the content couldn't be downloaded to the PC. I'm wondering if I inadvertently deleted and app? Thoughts?

    Hi mikejdale
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    When you insert the TurboTax CD a window should open that lets you drag the TurboTax icon to your Application Folder.
    Try this:
    1. Close all open windows (the TT installer window my not come to the front of other open windows)
    2. Drag the TurboTax icon the the Application Folder in that window.
    3. Once TT is finished downloading eject the CD.
    3. Update TurboTax

  • Safari won't allow me to download files

    Safari won't allow downloads. What can I do?

    Safari usually will download files that it can handle itself or files that can be handled by another app on your iPad. What type of file is it not downloading? Perhaps if you had an app that could handle the file type you could download it.

  • App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

    I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu).  How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

    It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
    As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
    At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

    I am a librarian at a 1:1 iPad school and we are having this problem with all ~3000 student iPads as well at ~300 teacher iPads.  This is extremely frustrating.  I have tried suggested fixes found on other discussion boards but none have worked.

  • My app store won't allow me to download any apps because of pervious purchase which I never purchased ?

    My app store won't allow me to download any apps because of pervious purchase which I never purchased ?

    I'm sure you purchased it since no one else would have your password to download apps
    Make sure your CC has funds on it and its up to date on your itunes store account.

  • How can I get a downloaded application to run when security settings won't allow it?

    I am trying to run an application today that I downloaded from Safari. I run this every single business day by control - clicking to open it in Finder. Today it won't allow me to open it all because of my security settings. When I temporarily remove my security settings it still will not let me open it. How can I run an application every time, when I want to run it, regardless of my security settings?
    I am using Safari, Mavericks, and MacBook Pro.

    Your control is allowing the app to run or not. I'm not sure what other type of control you could possibly mean since any app, once running, does whatever it does; you can't control any app past that point.
    If you prefer not to disable the settings in the System Preferences, then right click on the app and choose Open. That will allow that app to run while still leaving the basic security feature on. You only need to do this once. The app will be assumed as trusted after that.

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • Mac App Store won't allow re-downloading of deleted apps

    I am experiencing very glitchy behaviour with the Mac App Store.  The store can't tell when individual apps are deleted, and therefore won't allow re-download.  This has been going on for a while - when I click on the Purchases tab all Apps are still listed as Installed and the button is greyed out - I can't click to re-download.  At the same time, an app that I previously did download and later removed called Cobook won't delete from the computer - after a few minutes to an hour it will re-appear in my Applications folder.
    I have done a clean re-install of Mountain Lion trying to fix this problem, however the same problem exists even after a re-install - Apps that had been deleted prior to the clean install are still greyed out in the Purchases tab, and can't be re-downloaded.  The only way that Apps can be re-installed is to use Time Machine backup.  I am concerned that this means that updates also aren't working, since the App Store doesn't seem to know what Apps are on my computer and which ones aren't.
    Yes I am using the correct Apple ID assocaited with the purchases.  My purchase history shows up just fine in the Purchases tab, its just that they are stuck showing that they are currently installed, even the ones that aren't.
    Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 21.5" iMac (mid-2011).

    The problem is possibly worse than I expected.  Since the clean re-install, now any App purchased and downloaded via App Store won't appear in the Purchases tab.  So in other words, although the download seems to work correctly, and the app works, the App Store seems to lose all track of it.  Which is a problem for paid apps.

  • Xcode won't allow me to download again...

    I have multiple Mac systems for which I want to install the Xcode software.   I came in to my office and tried to install it from the App Store, only to find it says it's "installed" and won't allow me to reinstall it.    Seems like that's an oversight to me, possibly a bug.
    I'm not a paid developer member, as I don't develop software, tho I do have an account on the developer site.   Is there a way around this problem or a direct link to download the Xcode for Lion?
    Thanks...

    The receipt is in the app bundle, if you deleted the app you deleted the receipt. Is the trial or the app possibly on a connected ext HDD, or a backup? The MAS can read app receipts on all connected drives.
