Downloaded software from App Store crashes on launch

I downloaded a trial version of a sofware program (Pixelator). After installing and using it to make sure it met my needs, I purchased it from the App Store. App Store downloaded another copy of the software then tried to launch it. Now the software won't start; it crashes when launching. The App Store lists the software as "Installed". How do I get this software (and App Store) to work?

Thank you Carolyn, unfortunately it still crashed:

(a) applying 'specialized softwares' to uninstall is not a good idea. Each time somebody report a problem after using such tool the first thing to do is to ask the user to uninstall correctly.
To do that, months ago, I delivered a FREE script.
Go to my iDisk (address below) and download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
(b) what are you meaning by "b) reinstalling ? Did you reinstalled from a copy kept on some local media or did you re-installed from the MAS. If you used a copy kept on a local media, maybe it's not the late version (Numbers v 2.1, Pages v 4.1)
(e) as in (a) you wrote that you bought from the MAS, moving the apps in a subfolder Applications:iWork '09 wasn't a good idea. Doing that is required when we bought the old-fashioned iWork package. The apps bought from the MAS are supposed to be stored in the Applications folder.
I would not be too much surprised to learn that the apps build a pathname starting from Applications to reach the frameworks which are now embedded in their own package.
I apologize but I have no plan to buy one of these apps from the MAS, just to be able to check that.
(f) was unneeded. On my machine I have iWork '06, iWork '08 and iWork '09 installed.
(g) if you reinstalled from a local copy, maybe this one is corrupted.
I read nothing in your message about the removal of the iWork fonts cache.
This one was the source of some reported failure.
It's located as :
<startupVolume>:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
Removing it can't hurt.

Can I download software from App store that I already own the disc without being charged?

I own Call of Duty 4 on disk and it is loaded on my MBP, but I was wondering if I can download it from the App store so that any updates, for example, can be kept up to date, without being charged again for the software?

No unfortunately that is not possible. If you bought the app on disk you would have to buy it again to get it from the app store.

Downloaded application from app store crashes

Application "Annotate PDF" is crashing apon attempts to launch the program.
I uninstalled the application and repaired disk errors before installing again, with the same result.

App Store crashing on launch after Mavericks update

Hi all. I upgraded to Mavericks about a week ago and haven't really been using my macbook pro since (its a late 2008 or 9 model, I don't remember). Anyways I have to use it now while my PC is being fixed and the app store crashes upon launching with what appears to be a similar crash log each time. I will attach the log in here somewhere. If there is a way to re-install the app store manually I might be able to fix it, otherwise I'm hoping you apple guys and gals can help me out. The app store is crucial as I'm sure you're all aware. Thanks in advanced.
Crash Log (taken a week back when it didn't work then either):

Edit* Found a post in this thread stating to reinstall OS. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23498644#23498644
Did the trick, many thanks to that user.

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". The only option the is to quit. What is

I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

Hi,
not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
Good luck!

Try resetting the App Store.
Reset Learned from Old Toad
and you can try:
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.

Could i buy a mac os x leopard software from app store?

could i buy a mac os x leopard software from app store? for imac 2008

The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

will u please help me out?

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

I can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac OS X 10.6.8

can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac IOS 10.6.8, how I can download it?

Simply, you can't download it.
If you want to upgrade to iphoto 11 then you'll need to either
1. Upgrade your OS to 10.7.5 - which requires a purchase of the OS
Or
2. Find an iLife 11 install disk. You may get one on Amazon or Ebay.
