App Store stuck in the update loop

I use El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Pro for mid-2015.

The AppStore automatically updated the operating system and a few apps today (2016-09-13). But the badge on the dock of the AppStore icon remains stuck at '1' indicating a waiting for update. This update uninstalled for iTunes 12.5.1.

By clicking on the "Update" button next to this entry causes the app download slowly. Once the download is complete, the led shows "install...". "- but only for a few seconds. The installation runs. The badge of the AppStore never clears. The App Store still shows the 12.5.1 iTunes update is available. However, there is apparently no way to install it. I can click on the buttons to update again, but then he has just the same: downloads, tries to install and fails without error message.

What now? I checked the obvious culprits (for example in ensuring the app iTunes is not open, reboot, etc) but no luck.

FWIW, I also have a version of Parallels of El Capitan, which runs on the same machine. He knows exactly the same problem.

Thank you.

Restart your Mac, then check the App Store for the update of iTunes.

You may resume the download.

  • App is stuck in the update and will not delete IOS 9.2

    I have an application that gets about 3/4 of the way through an update and stops. I tried to remove it and I confirm delete but it does not delete. The App Store app, it shows if it is on the cloud and not my phone. How can I fix the problem?

    Hi Scott_E,

    If I'm right, you are having problems removing an application that updates 3/4, and then it just stops.

    Try restarting your iPhone:

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears
    • Drag the slider to completely turn off your iPhone
    • Once the iPhone is off, press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears.
      • Once you have restarted your iPhone, check if you can remove the app, or if the application is able to be updated.

    Try to connect to iTunes and App Store:

    • Open settings > scroll down and tap on "iTunes & App Store > type on your Apple ID > tap Sign Out."
      • Once you have disconnected, reconnect and check if you are able to remove the app, or able to be updated.

    Try to reset your network settings:

    • Open settings > tap general > tap reset > tap reset network settings > enter your password if prompted.
      • Once you have reset your network settings check if you are able to remove the app, or able to be updated.

    I hope this helps

  • Stuck in the update loop

    Recently I have got stuck in a loop of update of Vista, to do an update, in which he will update 3/3 0%, then stop start etc. I was able to fix and restore to an earlier point using my recovery disc and repair mode.

    Here's my question, how can I avoid this in the future while still making updates. This has happened a few times that I've corrected by removing the updates, I thought that may have caused the problem, and then on the day that the above problem happened.  Now I have a large number of updates, is there a way to fix this problem or am I rimmed? I do each update one by one, if it sticks back and remove it? Seems like a lot of work to keep it up to date.

    I could simply ignore the updates but that seems silly. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    It will take a little time to do it:

    Here's how to uninstall an update (or make your system restore), change your settings to find the problem of those who and how to hide an update.
    There is no easy way to do it, unfortunately:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.

  • I don't want windows 10, but I'm stuck in the update loop - Help!

    I have tried to avoid the update of Windows 10 and was doing a good job, until one day I came back to my computer to find the middle of the update of Windows 10. I panicked, somehow managed to cancel and thought that I had won it.

    Fast forward a week or two and my computer tells me to restart after the update. It's somewhat normal, I usually told to wait and he does. Not this time. He returns five minutes later telling me that it will restart in 14 minutes if I want to or not. I can't avoid it. It restarts. I have to go to work. I just find that it is just rebooted again later. I have to go back, I hear from my mother that she has restarted several times while I was away. I came home and closing it down properly and went to bed.

    Today, it's the same thing, it force restarts every 20 minutes. I look for things on the internet and eventually check the updates. There are tons of failed attempts at upgrading to Windows 10 (which, remember, I never authorized to do so). I have 10 minutes before it goes to the next round. I'm next to me. I know not enough about computers to speak with her directly and make the troubleshooting thing I found on the internet that involves the registry and to be honest, I don't REALLY want to not Windows 10, so I don't want any solution that leaves as the result.

    What can I do? It's time for me to just suck it up and buy a Mac? I am upset to forced into what I am quite certain I will never buy another Microsoft product again (and this is after growing up on Microsoft and he preferring Apple). I feel so betrayed and powerless. I don't want it to end on a bad note Aussie. Is there something I can do?

    Even if you use another solution to prevent future attempts to upgrade, read the last two sections upgrade to disable Windows 10 - WiKi to see how to clean up what has already been downloaded to your computer.

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.

    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

  • Mac App Store, upgrade to the purchased Lr5 Lr4. Now migrated to the new Mac. No Lr4 to validate the installation of the LR5

    A few years ago, I buy Lr4 via the Mac App Store. And later, I bought LR5 upgrade through Adobe online.

    Today, I have a new Mac and I've logged into my account adobe and redownloaded Lr5 and got the serial number. But when I install it it asks Lr4 serial number which I don't have and never had. I read the article on how to do it and it says that it requires the presence of the version of the App Store or the Lr4 at installation time. But I have more that I have unintalled some time ago and Adobe has removed from the App Store so I can't redownload it. So, I'm stuck.

    Any ideas?

    OK then read this article.

    Adobe Lightroom 4 brings the Mac App Store | Macworld

    It says clearly,

    In a blog post on the Adobe Web site, the company noted that the price of upgrade for future versions of Lightroom are not available for those who buy the Mac App Store version, due to the current lack of Apple for the support of such a system; In addition, users can receive updates later than they would through Adobe.

    So I guess you'll have to pony up the full price of $149 for Lightroom 5.

    You could try to go to help > Lightroom registration click on the next button, see if there is a serial number entered (it will be stars *) then go head and register. Once registered, the serial number should appear on the Adobe Web site once you have logged in with your Adobe ID
