My mac can not download any files

Did check to see if I had speeddownload but I don't. I'm lost as what to do next. Joined Mar 14, Messages 14 Reaction score 0 Points 1. Sounds like I've got a similar problem although I have managed to download a file from isohunt today. I've tried to download Flash Player 10 and Opera but not working. Just deleted all files and it's now working fine again. I reckon it will be the same on yours. Hope you sort it. Thank You!!! And use the Speed Downloader uninstaller to avoid further problems.

You can try emptying the Mac App Store temporary download cache folder and try downloading the app again. Follow the steps below to empty the Mac App Store download cache folder. Step 1: Go to the Apps folder and find the Terminal app. If your Macbook fails to download apps from the App Store, force quitting and relaunching the app can restore it to regular functionality.

There are several ways to force quit the App Store on your Mac. Check them out below. Hold these four keys together while the App Store window is open and the app and other related processes will be stopped till you relaunch it. Step 2: Type Activity Monitor into the search field and double-tap Activity Monitor in the result pane. Step 3: Select the App Store from the list of processes and tap the 'x' icon at the Activity Monitor's top-left corner.

Sometimes the issue may not be a problem on your end. Check out Apple's System Status Page. Here, you can see information about the status of Apple's services, such as iCloud, the App Store, and more.

If a particular service has a red icon next to it, then it's down. You might see a peculiar 'We could not complete your purchase: Unknown Error' message when buying apps. This problem occurs when you use multiple Apple IDs.

Mac App Store failing to download apps issue might be due to a buggy build released by Apple. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

Thank you. Mike Adams Registered. My wife has an eMAc that has developed a problem. Any time she tries to download a file from the web, absolutely nothing happens. This is true for both Firefox and Safari and applies to any type of file picture, game etc. On the other hand, updates from Apple download fine and my laptop downloads fine when plugged into her cable modem.
