A partial solution:. Create a new user account on your Mac with the same Apple ID, and give it admin privileges. Log in as the new account, and run App Store. Updates of non-pre-installed apps (i.e. Nearly all of them) should now work fine.
Trying to accept pre-installed apps (e.g. IPhoto, iMovie, Garageband) still doesn't work; the spinner runs and nothing else happens. I suspect that there's a bug in accepting pre-installed apps that clobbers the per-user App Store settings. Let me just work out which files they are. OK, these are the files: /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore /Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate /Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent /Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist /Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist /Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist Throw these in the trash (but don't Empty it) along with any files that have the same name with.lock at the end.
Then try again. If that doesn't work, try the new account workaround I mentioned above.
I’m trying to download apps thru my app store. And when I search for the program I need it comes up and gives me the option to install. When I press install, nothing happens and I get kicked out of the AppStore and brings me back to the home page. And it doesn’t get downloaded either. Please advice me what to do. I’m lost without my apps. I can’t even download free apps! Any help would be appreciated! Sonnia says: September 1, 2012 at 12:31 pm. How can i download apps and free music on my i phone.
