Xcode Tools will not update under Mac OS X 10.7

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7 on a new Mac Mini, I attempted to update my other software thru the App Store.  When I attempt to update Xcode I get the following message: "Xcode 4.0.2 requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.  Install the Xcode Tools version that supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion."  I can find no update on App Store that will accomplish this task.  The one entry in App Store I can find for Xcode just attempts to install and produces the message above.  How do I get the lastest version?

I figured out what MAS was minute or two ago... after searching over and over at apple.com in the downloads section and finding more than 150 hits at one time, nothing for xcode AND download AND lion (and also substituting 10.7 instead of lion). None of the 150 hits dealt with xcode itself.
Another search for xcode (all by itself) came up with 4 items only talking about webobjects.
It wasn't until I finally went to the main apple page, clicked on Mac, at the bottom Developer -> Mac Program, then at the bottom, XCode 4 developer preview, then I finally found "View in Mac App Store" (so I found out what MAS was).
When I clicked the View link, Lion had to be told what app it should use to view the page!
My download is apparently done now, so I think I'll go install it.
What a chore! Had I been thinking, I could have just started up the app store from my dock! (I don't think I did that with Snow Leopard... which was another arduous project.) I rarely use the app store. I spend more time trying to figure out how to use what I've already got!
Do I need to uninstall my xcode 3.x first or will it just be replaced?
Thanks for the reply.

  • PC will not update. Mac updated fine...

    When trying to update from the PC I get a message that states that the update server is down or may be offline, or the firewall settings could be wrong.
    Would that be MY firewall settings?

    Thanks

    Hi Wizwow,
    Its possible it could be your firewall settings. This document might help.

  • App's Will Not Update in Mac App Store

    I'm going try to make this a clear as I can. This problem only occurs when try to update App's in the "Mac App Store only " and not in the iTunes Music Store. And it only is happen in one users account.  Every time I try to update apps in the Mac Apps store under the Update Menu. This is what happens.
    I t will show you that you have and App ready for update.
    1) I press the button to update.
    2) It will ask me for my AppleID/Password
    3) After entry my Apple ID Info: Here where I have the problem starts. The update will not download and all I get is the clock of spin.  It just spins  and spins.  No draw timebar and no download.
    I've remove the following in the (user/library) the following files and it dose not solve the problem.
    user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    user/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    This is only happen in one my one user account. If I go to my backup account I can download Mac App Store Update with no problems. This only stated after updating  to Lion.

  • Firefox 11 will not update on Mac OS

    Firefox asks to update on iMac OS Snow Leopard. If I click on the link it doesn't complete download. If I download 13.0.1 separately, it doesn't install.

    Try this:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • HT204053 i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the cas

    i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the case, what do i do?

    Which iPhoto version and MacOS X version did you update from? Did you previously have iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks installed or earlier versions?
    Did you use a different Apple ID when you set up the Mac? If iPhoto came preinstalled, it will be bound to the apple ID you first used, when you set up your  Mac.

  • Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

    I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the update to 3.6.6

    Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
    Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

  • HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

    my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.  Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash.   This mac book is less than a month old.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

  • I Photo will not update after migrating from old I-Mac to new I-Mac with fusion drive

    I just migrated from 2009 I-Mac with Mountain Lion to New I-Mac with Mountain Lion with migration Assistant. Now... I tunes will not update although Apple says one is available

    a couple of things - you should not "migrate" applications - you should use the new ones that come preinstalled - what version of of iPhoto do you have on your new mac?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • HT1338 I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update.

    I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update. What has happened to the downloaded update?

    When you downloaded Lion from the Appstore (and paid 29$) you have 10.7.4.
    After the download you will find it in the Applications folder: that is the installer ! The installer vanishes when used, thus if you want to make an installer disk (to avoid a later redownload), you should do it before you run this installer. You can use "Lion Diskmaker" for that (use a 8GB USB stick), http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker/

  • My mac computer will not update new software

    Hi
    My IMac is very old and is not under warranty anymore just for reference. I have taken my computer to an Apple Retailer to get major problems fixed before and the issue's subsided. But one problem is still here.
    My IMac will not update new software, everytime I have attempted to update my software before and it does nothing, if the software happens to load and finish then when it says "to finish the update you will need to restart your computer" that is the problem, my computer cannot update new software because it does not restart properly and therefore cannot do any initail updating and it is becomming very fustrating. I have no idea what to anymore. I have pretty much just given up the fact that my computer is completely ancient.

    What happens when you try?
    Are you updating OTA or via iTunes?

  • HT1338 Pages will not update on my mac!!

    Pages will not update and because of that I cannot open pages files

    It sounds like you already have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
