  • I can't install non app store programs

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Safari is not adequately functioning for numerous websites. I downloaded both Firefox and Chrome....but I can't install them because they didn't come from the App Store!!!! .... and of course, they're not offered in the App Store.
    I have also purchased several programs over the years, such as Audiobook Builder. I have a legal license and key. But I can't install from the .dmg file because I didn't download it from the App Store. It IS offered in the App Store, but I have to pay for it again!!! This is the case with 14 other programs including Disk Warrior, SuperDuper, ChronoSync, etc. Some aren't even in the App Store and others I'm expected to repurchase.
    Complete user migration seems to be the only way I can get these apps on my new Mt. Lion machine.....but I am amalgamating three Macs into 1 new spec-ed out laptop. I don't have the space to migrate all of the user accounts from my Air, Mini and iMac.
    How do I install (legally) purchased software such as AudioBook Builder OR free software such as Firefox onto my computer without repurchasing them? Or, in the case of Firefox, when it's not available in the App Store?

    Click the Apple Symbol in the menu Bar then System Preferences>Security & Privacy> General. you will see choices for downloading apps.

  • When I try to install from App Store, the timer moves and then nothing happens...should I just try again tomorrow?

    When I try to install Mavericks from the App Store, the timer moves and then nothing happens. When I first attempted to download Mavericks onto my 2009 15" macpro the program started to download and then seemingly froze up- my partners started after mine and then finished on her 2010 13" macpro... I have gone back several times to the store, restarted my system and am getting nothing... Perhaps Ill try again tomorrow?

    If you have an iPod with iOS 3.1.3 then it is due to an Apple problem.

  • HT2476 Installing non-App store software: How?

    I want to install software not available from the App store. Mountain Lion won't let me do it. Is there a way around it? The software is to drive an interactive whiteboard for schools use. ActiveInspire by Promethean.
    Hoping you can help. Thanks...

    Got it thanks! I looked there but didn't see that option at first. Another way other than allowing all apps to be installed is to leave it locked CTRL click and select OPEN form the menu. This allows it to run (an installer in my case)
    Cheers,

    You're not talking to a team of Apple employees poised to jump on your question.  We're all just users here, and we might be doing something else...
    You cannot delete the App store App. It is somewhere on your Home screens, or you have dragged it into a folder. Any folder. If all else fails Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
    Discouraged....

  • FaceTime can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion

    FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion.any help with this would be greaty appreciated.

    FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

  • Is it possible to update an old version of 10.4.11 to a newer version on my ibook? and to install the app store?on my ibook

    Can anyone help me update my old ibook version 10.4.11 to the latest version and possibly be able to install the app store on it?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
    If it's a G4, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
    Back up your data before upgrading. No iBook can have the Mac App Store installed onto it.

  • Help! I have been using Mountain Lion but Finder and the App Store won't load and keeps crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

    Help please! I have been using Mountain Lion for a few weeks but Finder, System Prefferences and the App Store won't load and/or keep crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?
    Model Identifier:     MacBookPro8,1
    Processor Name:     Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed:     2.7 GHz
    Number of Processors:     1
    Total Number of Cores:     2
    L2 Cache (per Core):     256 KB
    L3 Cache:     4 MB
    Memory:     8 GB
    Boot ROM Version:     MBP81.0047.B27
    SMC Version (system):     1.68f99

    You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network.  Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark.  You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x.  If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
    First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network".  Then turn WiFi off.  Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information.  If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
    In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music.  Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

  • WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark.

    WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
