App store not downloading at 10.6.8
Hi,
I installed 10.6.4 and then updated it to 10.6.8 - the app store would not download any apps - this applies to the purchased apps, as well as new ones etc. After I press the download or install button nothing happens - no error notifications etc... the computer and the App Store app does not freeze I have tried following options, but none of those helped helped:
- Clicked on the "Reload Page" in the App Store
- reset payment detail and address in the account settings
- checked for unfinished downloads in the App Store - it says all purchased apps are downloaded...
- signed out and signed in the App Store app
- tried to switch from my App Store - which is German - to the US store and then back...
- installed the 10.6.8 combo update.
- removed the App Store app and then did the 10.6.8 combo update
- reset the memory (when you hold the option+apple button+P+R while restarting the computer)
- installed the Java updates as well as iTunes updates
- erased the partition and reinstalled the 10.6.4, then tried 10.6.6 combo, 10.6.7 combo and as I said 10.6.8 combo updates - every time trying out the app store with every single version
- tried to upgrade to Yosemite via the "updates" section in the Mac App Store, but nothing happens after I press the download button either
My Mac 21,5" is iMac11,2 Intel Core i3 3.06 GHz 4 GB
My goal is actually to download the Lion (or Maverics) from the App Store and install it - I purchased it a while ago and then upgraded to Maverics and recently to Yosemite - the later made me unhappy and I cleaned my Mac, erased the partition and installed the 10.6.4 from the OS X install CD which came with my Mac.
All the apps I ever purchased are listed in the "Purchases" section of the App Store, including the Lion and Maverics, so the App Store works as such, but as I described it would not let me download anything....
