Can't update command line tools because Xcode tells me I don't have access to them

Question

I\'m using Xcode 4.3.2 and it tried to install an update to the command line tools. I clicked the update button and Xcode told me that [my apple id] does not have access

Answer 1

Dominik Porada details the solution at Xcode 4.5 and iOS 5.1 Simulator, ie. download the old XCode 4.4.1 from Apple and pull out the simulation. Personally, I just copied the simulator from one of my other Macs that I hadn't upgraded XCode on yet.

Answer 2

Not sure if it's still relevant but xcode-select --install might do it.

Answer 3

I had the same problem last night after the update to Mountain Lion and Xcode 4.4.

This morning I tried to build something in xcode and it told me that developer mode wasn't enabled on the mac. Once I enabled it, I tried to download the command tools again and that happened to work fine now.

Answer 4

Yes its all over the Twitter... Just go to Apple Downloads and manually install it. They are investigating the issue as far as I know
