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

After upgrading to Yosemite my I photo will not update

My iPhoto will not update because of a error with a previous owners password my brother owned the iMac before me he signed out of everything.

Signing out does not eliminate the problem: If he didn't erase the hard drive and reinstall the original OS, you will not be able to update the app(s) as they are tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them and the license is not transferable. This is spelled out in the licensing agreement; your options are: not to update apps and never reinstall the OS, or:
if it came with Lion or later, use internet recovery, wipe the drive, and reinstall the original OS; after that, update to Yosemite. If it came with Snow Leopard or earlier, use the install DVD to wipe the drive and reinstall, then update.

My iphone wont let me download bbm because it is saying i have got it on app store but will not show up on my home screen

My iphone wont let me download bbm because it claims ive already got it on apple app store , but the app will not show on home screen nor on settings

No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
This is occurring on a computer, correct?
Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

App Store/ itunes will not work on my iphone

When ever I try to download an app, search for an item or basically do anything else nothing will happen. I tried to go into the appstore and itunes settings on my phone bu it just freezes and now I don't know what to do. Also If I try to listen to music the music won't start and it freezes. I just got this new ipone 5c about a month ago and this has been happening for 2 weeks. Please help.

Try restarting your Mac.
If that does not help, even though the password woks on the iPhone and App Store, reset the password.

Hello ChuckLoyal,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to FaceTime on your Mac. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Activating FaceTime for Mac
Use your Apple ID to register and use FaceTime. FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID and email address for use with FaceTime.
If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Sign in to FaceTime for Mac using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with FaceTime, other FaceTime users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Ok I am tryin to install apps in the app store it will not allow me to without a credit card I will not give that info how can I get passed that

thats stupid because if you are trying to get something is supposed to be "free" why the heck do we have to provide with a Credit Card info??? Thats dumb, what if we dont have a Credit Card???

I have a hung up app that will not update or delete that drains the battery. How do you fix this?

I chose to update a app. It says waiting under the apps icon but will not update. I click on it to pause the update but it still drains the battery. I try to delete the app but it won't let me. What can I do?

Try the power off. Press home button and the on/off button at the same time for a few seconds. Then slide the tab to power off.
Then press the on/off again after a few seconds. Once it powers on fully, tap and hold on the application to see if it will start wobbling with a x on the corner, if yes, delete it.
If no, wait for someone else to suggest a better idea.

Just spoke with AppleCare -- turns App Store issue was their problem. It's been resolved and now works correctly. We're still working on the issue of all my mail disappearing.

The App Store will not update my apps. I keep getting An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could resolve this issue?

My App Store is no longer updating my apps or my OS. I keep getting this message: An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could be the reason for this issue and what will resolve it?

I believe its an auth error. If you tried signing in and out of the app store and downloading a free app (typical fixes) and it persists, try downloading the updates manually. If youre trying to get the Mountain Lion updates the link for 10.8.1 is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571 and if you already have 10.8.1 and youre trying to update to 10.8.2 the link is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580 a supplemental update came for the 10.8.2 which can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600
Like I said before, the error isnt that your software or hard drive is corrupt, it has to do with your AppleID authenticating the download, especially because OS updates are part of the Mac App Store. If you know your way around your system libraries or root libraries you can possibly fix it by deleting specific files that may be corrupted, otherwise you're going to want to back up your data and reinstall the OS.
Good luck!

Mac app store will not update my apps

I try repeatedly to update aperture to 3.x.x and the app store keeps saying there has been an error and try again later ... for about 2 months!

Thanks for your response ...
Aperture was purchased from app store. Was updated to 3.2.1 and again to 3.2.3 but will not update to 3.3
I get an ' error at app store, can not update at this time (13)'
Just wondering if it's on my end or something at the app store.
Why would the app store inform me of the update but not let me get it?
Best regards, T.
