Q: cannot install updates from app store
imac 2012, 2.7GHz i5, 8GB, Yosemite 10.10.2
After updating to Yosemite 10.10.1 the app store stopped installing system apps such as 10.10.2, iTunes, Hp and Epson updates, iMovies etc. I solved the 10.10.2 update by downloading and directly installing but the app store still did not not allow updates for security updates, iTunes etc.
App store lists the updates available, I click update, it says installing for 2 seconds, then says installed and lists the installed app under 'updates installed in the last 30days'. A few seconds later the app returns under 'updates available' as needing updating.
After trying verify and fix disk and verify and fix permissions without success, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.2 by using CMD R and selecting reinstall OS X, however the problem is exactly the same - I cannot update OS X software apps.
Any ideas?
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
