Unable to update Xcode (item temporarily unavailable)?

Question

I tried completely uninstalling Xcode but it still says "update" in the App Store. When i try to update it, it just says that the item is temporarily unavailable, asking me to try again later. I am currently using OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 to update it to Version 6.1.1. How can i solve this?

Answer 1

Try going to the "App Store" > "Store" > "Check for Unfinished Downloads ..."

This fixed the bug for me, but I'm still running Mavericks.

Answer 2

to update it to Version 6.1.1

In your Web browser, sign into the Apple developr site and then click this link:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode

Xcode 6.1.1 is the first link, at the top of that page. Click it!

Answer 3

I know this is old, but I had the same problem recently.

It turns out I was using the Canadian app store, but my Apple ID is for the UK store. The app store didn't tell me that this was the case until I followed Tmin's advice:

Try going to the "App Store" > "Store" > "Check for Unfinished Downloads ..."

Doing that prompted me to switch to the UK app store. I was then able to update all my apps.

It might be the Cache Problem. It occurs a lot in Yosemite :(
Download Yosemite Cache Cleaner software.
Its a trail version, but you can delete it after you clean your cache.
Then rebooting mac should resolve the problem.
