![]() ![]() (2) The App Store App 2.0 worked fine for downloading and installing Updates on both my MBP and my Mac Pro until the week before last. I will, however, search for a free VPN-which I didn't realize existed. (1) Per my second paragraph quoted in this post, it's not likely to be a local networking problem. I only posted the problem because other people running OS X < 10.11 might be hurt. One thing to keep in mind per the last sentence of my first paragraph quoted in this post, I don't particularly care if this problem is fixed quickly. With my prodding them, Apple will fix it eventually. I suspect this problem, too, is an example of a complicated "conceptual bug" resulting from changes to App Store for OS X 10.11. As I said, that problem cleared up after about a week, despite my not having done anything about it. The temporarily-difficult-to-grasp (for Apple) concept being that someone might use the App Store for free downloads but never buy anything there. ![]() covered by Verizon.īTW, thank you in your post for unintentionally classifying the problem I had with App Store in July as a canonical example of a "conceptual bug". So maybe "confined to the area you are in" is true, if you define "the area you are in" as anywhere in the U.S.A. OTOH years ago Hawaii used to be covered by GTE, but I think GTE's phone system was subsequently sold to Verizon. So this is not "likely to be a local networking problem confined to the area you are in". And Iowa-where LtKernelPanic who reported also having the problem in a post just after yours resides-is also a long way from NYC. It may not look that way from across the Pond, but Hawaii-where Carhole (as linked to in my second post in this thread) resides-is a long way from New York City. The fact is I don't use GarageBand even on my MacBook Pro I just like to keep my apps updated. As you-Joel_B-should well know by now, my little two-room apartment LAN is connected to DSL from big old Verizon. I think my youngest brother has Time Warner. Given that the MacBook Pro is a laptop, I could eventually haul it up to one of my brothers' apartments and try accessing App Store from there. Since I am retired, I don't have access to a VPN. ![]()
