Windows 8. Impossible to download free games on App Store

I just bought a new laptop pre-loaded with Windows 8. Looking for Solitaire etc I see that they are not preloaded and that I should go to the App Store and download from the free area.

When I try to do this (after you connect to my Microsoft Account) the Green bubbles pass through the top of the screen for a while and then I get a message saying 'something has happened and your purchase cannot be completed. I tried several different games with the same result.

The one you suggest a solution to this?

Not sure if you found a solution... but I had the same problem. At the end of the day, I disabled my anti-virus and firewall and updates went through ok.

  • Impossible to download free or PAID apps (it's not just me and it's not November 1st)

    Hello

    I bought an app catalog & received an acknowledgement, but it will not download. Applications free download is not.

    I see reports from anywhere in the world that's apparently the case everywhere.

    http://forums.webosnation.com/HP-pre-3/328810-Oct-30-HP-app-catalog-downloads-fail.html#post3427516

    I don't know there are many purchases of last minute that passes, but if there is too much "few users" to keep open servers, I can't believe the Server fall due to the volume of demand.

    The ad referenced here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/webOS-Hardware-and-Software/webOS-Cloud-Services-to-end-1-15-2015/td-p/... indicates that purchases can be made until November 1st and profile services (of which download purchased Apps) will continue until Jan. 15.

    I hesitate to spend more money until I have confidence that I will receive the ordered products.

    I guess it's a fault rather than premature closure. This can be corrected? HP would consider leaving the store open for purchases over the weekend for those now unable to make last minute shopping?

    I see another thread here new account creation failed - is there a broader failure? The OP has been directed to a story about the closing, but once again, this happens before the time indicated so I guess it's a fault.

    Thanks in advance for any quick action on this problem.

    I made an attempt to contact HP... We'll see what happens.

    Received a message that my Garageband is damaged and I need to download it from the app store.  Never had an application to be damaged.  Is it current?  OSX 10.9.5 Garageband 10.0.2

    Is the exact error message ""GarageBand.app is damaged and cannot be opened. " Delete Name.app and download it again from the App Store. »"  ?

    The error message is caused by an expired certificate.  See: http://osxdaily.com/2015/11/12/fix-app-is-damaged-cant-be-opened-error-messages-en-mac-os-x /

    1. Restart the Mac, that alone may be sufficient to correct the problematic applications and remove the error message
    2. If a restart does not fix the app, delete the application (simply drag it to the trash and do not empty), then restart the Mac App Store and download the app again through the purchases tab or by searching for the app manually
    3. Reopen once affected applications, they should now work properly
  • Any access request camera iPad download of Skype on App Store

    I have an iPad 2 and you have downloaded Skype on the App Store. He asked for permission to access the microphone or camera, and while the cam does not work, the microphone works. This means that I can't make video calls. I have Skype went into the settings app, but can't find where I can get to access the camera that there is no privacy tab it. The privacy in Settings tab shows Skype with access to the microphone, but again there is nowhere that I do not see who I can so he can access the cam in the link of the cam.

    How can I get around this problem so I can make video calls please.

    Ray

    I think it's done. I went into my address book, choose someone who was in offline mode and clicked to make a call. It is then asked to allow Skype to access the camera. Once clicking on allow, I checked in the settings/privacy/camera and Skype was recently classified as a soft who had asked permission to access the camera: after previously showing only not here. I have not had the chance to test it yet so I can't really tell if it works.

  • Can not download vevo video in app store windows

    Dear community of Microsoft

    I always download video from vevo using app store windows as the download of YouTube and YouTube search & download. . I am really satisfied with this app. But since three days ago I can't download any vevo music video file using both applications. . is there anyone knew this problem or perhaps never faced this problem too? Please help me with this problem. . I want to know who has this problem... is it my RT surface or my apps? Because I reinstalled both apps for three times already... Help, please. .

    See you soon,.

    Ben

    Ben,

    I don't own a RT Surface and have not tried using the apps you mentioned. However, if you are not able to download videos from Vevo, I think it's something that has to do with a few changes by Vevo videos in their YouTube channel.

    As stated by John in his answer, download videos from YouTube is not something that helps Google. Of course, we have a lot of apps and program that allows us to do this, but ultimately it's up to the channel owner or Google can use to decide if we can do it or not. I do not think that someone else that the guy running the channel Vevo or YouTube could say with certainty why you are not able to download videos from this channel.

    What, in my view, must be happened is that applications that you use to download videos have been blocked. YouTube has been block many others these applications and modules browser lately and there are references to what is happening in the different instances across the internet. Have a look here:

    https://www.Google.co.UK/#q=cannot+download+videos+from+Vevo+YouTube

    Your best bet is to opt for others, these applications or modules of browser and see if that helps. But again, as the download of YouTube videos is not something which allows their terms of Service, eventually these applications or modules will be also get blocked at some point.

    I hope this information helps!

    I use iPhone 64 GB with version iPhone 9.2.1 6s.

    Two months ago I faced a problem to update my iphone applications and it is resolved automatically. But since 2 weeks I am facing the same problem again. I'm not able to update my applications, even if I'm not able to download new applications. When I tried to install a new application, I got a pop-up saying "cannot download App (application name) could not be downloaded right now.

    I did not any jail break, but I tried a few ways to solve this problem, which are as follows:

    1 force reboot by pressing the lock + "home" button.

    2 disconnect from the App Store, then restart by force.

    3. set all parameters, but none of the above solved my problem.

    Please lookout the problem, I totally panic by this problem. Please help me and it is solved as soon as possible.

  • I managed to fix an erronious in my new Windows 8 account e-mail address, but the app store, still has the old address and will not serve an order

    The title says pretty much all this. Microsoft Accounts has my wrong email address and it took a few days to correct, but when I tried to order in the games section of the app store, it still has the old address (which went nowhere) and would not be the service order.  How can I get the correct email in the app store?

    Hi EddySims,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community!

    I understand that you are not able to download the app from the store Windows applications as it has the old email address.

    Please answer the question

    (1) have you tried to connect with the new email address?

    (2) did you get an error message?

    If this only happens in Windows Apps store, I suggest you follow the steps below to reset the cache to store and see if it works very well.

    (a) press the Windows key + R

    (b) type WSReset.exe and press OK
