Yosemite app store damaged or incomplete

Hi,
My app store package content folder is no longer in the app.
When trying to open the app store I get an error message saying that the app store is damaged or incomplete.
I am running osx yosemite 10.10.1
Alternatively, is there a way I can download osx Yosemite to do a clean install without access to my app store?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

After installing the 10.10.1 update the issue is fixed.

  • App store damaged or incomplete?

    I've been scouring the internet for the answer to this. I'm running 10.6.8 and i've updated to the combo pack. I've virtually tried everthing and I can't access the app store. Its in my applications folder with a circle and slash through it. Please Help!!!! Its sucking my life away.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I know this has been asked numerous times on these boards but i've yet to find the solution that works for me. Surely someone else has had the same dilema.

  • Error message after 10.8.2 Install: SpeechSynthesis.app is damaged or incomplete. What should I do about this?

    I installed 10.8.2 and it seem to go well except at end an error message reading 'Error SpeechSynthesisServer.app damaged or incomplete'. What should I do about this and what apps would be impacted?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    codesign -vv /S*/*/*/A*/*/A/*/S*/*/A/S*S*S*
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window.

  • Yosemite App store glitch

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac and so far love it. The only problem so far is my upgrade alerts. It keeps telling me I should upgrade my pages, keynotes and numbers. When I try to do so it tells me it is not available for this apple id because it was bought by a different user or was refunded or cancelled. I tried changing my id which didn't work. Anyone else have this problem and what did you do?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • Yosemite-App Store repeating downloads

    After upgrading to Yosemite on Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, they both show unusual behavior in the App Store.  After upgrading 'Pages' and 'Numbers', the App Store informs me I need to update them, even though it shows below that I have updated them just hours before.  I even tried updating them for a second time and later the App Store tells me an update is available.  Any sugestions?

    I solved problem. Apparently there were folders on my hard drives with old versions of iWork 09 that I had not deleted and the app store was finding them even though I had the most current version in the Applications folder.

  • Yosemite App Store error will not update large item

    Had a problem I wish to share with the community which I was able to solve and it points to a particular error in this first release of Yosemite which may strike many other users.  I am on a DSL connection and it's unreliable.  Usually App Store is good about pausing or restarting downloads of large updates but on a couple of occasions, it refused to update a few items (Xcode and Pages come to mind) and this is what I found to be the problem...  LAUNCH PAD!
    If App store refuses to install or download an update, for some reason there is a direct connection with this problem and launch Pad.  Go into Launch Pad and look for the item you are having trouble with.  Click its icon, double click its icon, or if those don't work, hold alt and click the X on the corner of the item's icon then if its deleted from your Mac, go back into App Store into the prior purchases area and redownload it again. 
    I hope this helps someone else.  I know figuring out the connection between Launch Pad and update issues took me forever to figure out.  This may save someone out there struggling a lot of time to know.

    I would try with some basic troubleshooting....
    - restart your computer
    - verify that you are connected to the internet, by launching safari
    - if you are connected, quit all open applications, then only open the Mac Apps store
    - try to install just one software update
    NOTE - when connecting wireless, you are going through a router.  The router may have some of the "ports" blocked that are required to get these updates, and therefore connecting to the internet direct wire, would be my next step in troubleshooting

  • When i launch the app store it says "app store corrupt or incomplete" how do i fix this?

    Please help.

    If your profile of 10.6.8 is correct, down load and apply the Combo updater.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.    This will reinstall App Store.
    Be aware, it will take some time.

  • My app store file is damaged/incomplete

    This is incredibly frustrating.
    I'm not that attentive to the new innovations that Apple provides in the software updates, but I found out today, in attempting to upgrade my OS to Yosemite that I was supposed to have received the Mac App Store in previous software updates. I'm running 10.6.8, and my software update is telling me there are no further updates as my computer is all up to date.
    But I don't have the Mac App Store anywhere on my computer. In searching my applications, I find one titled "App Store" with a blank application icon with a NO sign overtop (as in the same logo that goes over a cigarette for NO SMOKING" signs.) When I click on this it says, "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    I'm trying to upgrade my OS so I can get the new version of Itunes so I can restore my ipod so I can listen to music. Every single step in trying to reach that end has been a pitfall and this is one of the most frustrating. I'm ready to upgrade, I've backed up my computer, and now I can't even download the OS upgrade... Nobody else seems to have experienced this.  Somebody PLEASE HELP ME.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your response. I got rid of that item, and deleted it out of my trash can. I've downloaded that DMG you linked, and when I attempt to open it it says it cannot be opened because it is not recognized.
    Seriously. What the **** is going on?

    I am having the exact same problem.  MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple.  After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
    My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged."  There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon.  Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion).  Did not work.  I also updated the software from "Software Update".  Rebooted.
    I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was.  I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
    Anyway, anymore ideas?  Even Apple is stumped.
    (In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

    Just did some more reading.  I was going by the icon in the dock.  When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!!  Thanks, anyway.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
