When I go to buy an app at the App Store on my M4 Studio the buy button is not there.

if I click on the desktop I can see it, but when I go to the box to buy it is gone.

even clicking where it should be in the box does nothing.

To buy a app I have to use my non Silicone laptop.

Any ideas?

iPad, iPadOS 27

Hi,

You can fix a missing purchase or get button in the Mac App Store by signing out of your Apple Account and signing back in through System Settings.

Fix the Missing Purchase Button

Sign out and back in: Open System Settings, click your name/profile at the top, select Media & Purchases, and sign out, then sign back in.
Check your account: Look at the very bottom of the App Store sidebar to confirm you are signed in with the correct Apple Account.
Update macOS: Go to System Settings > General > Software Update to install any pending bug fixes.
Refresh the window: Drag the App Store window slightly off your screen and pull it back, which often forces missing buttons to reload.
