Anyone else experiencing a freeze when downloading an app? I keep trying to download a couple free apps and when I do I just get a spinning beachball. I've force quit the app 6 times and restarted my computer. Not a great experience so far.
Unmount Boot Camp or any external drives. Sign out and quit the AppStore. Open iTunes, download an app from iTunes, it will ask you to accept the new terms, accept, wait for the download to finish. Quit iTunes, then relaunch the AppStore. This will also resolve error 100. Now go to download something in the Appstore and it will ask you to sign in, at which point you can begin downloading.
I'm glad the unmounting is working for people, but I thought I might mention that for those of you who don't wish to unmount a drive (like myself due to a giant backup I don't want to interrupt), you might try clicking the "Free" or buy button at the main menu instead of clicking on the app first. If I click on the app and go to the app details, and click the buy button in there, it freezes. If I click the buy button on the "Featured" page, or any other of the main pages, then it works just fine. This probably won't work for everybody, but it's worth a try if you don't want to unmount. Cheers.
Good news is that the bootcamp unmount may only need to be done the first time. After unmounting bootcamp and installing my first App store application, I was able to quit the App store, remount the bootcamp partition and then install additional App store apps.
I don't get a freeze, but I don't get a download either. I just get the spinning busy wheel for hours or until I change the app store screen. I never get anything in my purchases or update windows.
Sounds like it is something related to the new EULA. Have a look at my earlier post about downloading an app in iTunes. Make sure it is an app you have never downloaded, and that you let it finish downloading before quitting iTunes. Let me know if that works...
Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utitilities>Disk Utility) and it will show up. Sometimes just clicking on it will mount it, otherwise select it and hit the mount button, or right click (CTRL+Click) and then choose mount.
I HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE. However, i started to notice it with Photo Booth. If i started photo booth then iPhoto, it would become unresponsive. Same with Logic Express 9. I because soo frustrated because i am also a PC user and have never had issues like on Windows. Fortunately ejecting the Bootcamp drive has fixed these issues. Whenever i would run repair disk / repair permissions it found a ton of java issues every time so i was blaming the issue on that this whole time and was getting ready to do a reinstall. I think that is odd that ejecting bootcamp drive fixes these problems but it is nice to not have to Force Quit iPhoto and logic all the time and restart. I don't know a whole lot about the processes and background "core" stuff of the OS (i'm only ACA Mac Integration 10.6 certified), but i think its dumb that you have to eject a drive for programs to launch.
