    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

  • I don't have the Mac App Store on my computer. It's not in my applications.

    I wnated to download the new mountain lion software but I can't get it in the App Store, because there is no App Store on my computer. Can I download it? Is it supposed to be in my applications folder?

    Hi Julia...
    You need to be running v10.6.6 at the least to have access to the App Store.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in yourr screen. From the drop down menu click: Aboout This Mac
    What version does it say?
    If you are running v10.6.6 or higher, you can upgrade to Lion now but make sure your Mac meets Lion's requiremens.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion won't be released to the public until sometime this summer and at this time, the requirements are unknown  >  Apple - OS X Mountain Lion

  • HT5534 Use this method if you originally purchased Pages, Numbers, or Keynote from the Mac App Store.  Open the Mac App Store and go to the Updates tab to update the iWork applications you purchased.  There is no Updates tab.  Very frustrating!

    Update for iWorks message says go to Apple store and use "update" tab.  There is no updates tab. 

  • Can't download Lion from the Mac App Store. It says the computer doesn't have the correct processor, yet it does.

    User error; didn't read correctly that it said "Intel Core Duo" for the 'About this Mac'.  All set, sorry!

    It would help if you provide all the error information. Sounds to me like you may not meet all the requirements:

  • I cannot open iphoto, this message occurs each attemptTo open this Aperture library in iPhoto, you need Aperture 3.3 or later. Click Update Aperture to buy the latest version of Aperture from the Mac App Store.  After installing the update, open your

    i do not have Apeture, nor do i want it, how can i access iphoto ?

    When did this problem first occur? Directly after you upgraded to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6?  Or after a crash?
    If this happened directly after the upgrade, look into the iPhoto library package, but do not change anything there - be very careful.
    A healthy iPhoto Library should look like this, when you ctrl-click it in the Finder and use the commend "Show Package Contents".
    First of all - does the iPhoto Library show the correct "fan of Pictures" icon?
    Is there an additional folder "Old Masters" in addition to your folder "Masters"?
    When you select the file "Info.plist", does the preview show correctly iPhoto Library 9.6?
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
      <string>iPhoto Library 9.6</string>
      <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
      <string>9.6</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    If it is not showing iPhoto but Aperture, try to trick iPhoto in opening the library by setting the File extension of the iPhoto Library to "photolibrary"
    But if you are seeing a folder "Old Masters" in your library, you are having a bad library corruption. Then look into that folder, if it contains any photos and post back.

  • HT4481 i have purchased a APP from the app store in itunes, it s air nav pro and was downloaded on the the ipad. now i tried to log in in the mac app store and searched for the app but it does not recognize my purchaes ! any ideas? i dont want to buy it a

    does anyone know what to do ?

    The apps in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices, iPhones, iPads, etc. The apps in the Mac App Store are for Macs. Apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs. Apps for Macs do not run on iOS devices. Your purchases in the iTunes App Store will never show up in the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. They are two different versions of apps for two different operating systems. If a developer has developed a version for both platforms they must be purchased separately.

  • HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the  Mac App Store?

    I cannot update apps, or download  Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
    Never experienced this before.

    I need to clarify the problem:
    software update returns:
    The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
    The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

  • Reinstalling apps from the mac app store?

    I am having a terrible time loading xcode 4.1
    It fails everytime and when I visit the app store it says "installed"
    I would love to re down load it.
    Worked fine until Lion

    Hi Winston,
    I've also made a copy of the Applications, Library, System and Users folders from the first drive to a third internal drive, just in case.
    The Mac App Store is probably seeing the Apps on your 3rd Drive hence they are already installed.
    In addition I have some iWork and iLife apps that came from a disc and not the Mac App store, I understand instead of reinstalling from the discs I can download them from the Mac App store, can you tell me how I do this please.
    The other Apps from the disc will have to be purchased from MAS if you want them linked to the store. Apps installed from discs aren't recognized by MAS. Hope this helps.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

    OS X Lion 10.7.5 update combo

  • Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. How to get rid of this problem? Iregularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

    Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. Not in France, because my bank account number is Dutch (it says), not in the Nteherlands because I should buy in the Dutch app stoe.
    How to get rid of this problem? I regularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

  • Why do I get a "can't import spreadsheet because it was created with an unsupported application version" alert when the updated version was purchased direct from the Mac App Store? The spreadsheet is now lost somewhere!

  • Unable to review apps ("to review this app, you must have purchased it from the Mac app store)

    I've been having this problem since getting my iMac, about 6-8 months ago.
    I can review apps for about 3-4 hours after buying them; sometimes for up to 12 hours.
    Then it's as if I cross a magic, invisible, and powerfully frustrating barrier - whenever I try to review an app, I get a message saying 'to review this app, you must have purchased it from the Mac App Store.'
    In many ways, the App Store is clearly aware that I HAVE purchased it from the Mac App Store. The button at the top of the screen - the one that would usually say 'purchase' - says 'installed.' I can DL updates. I can, for the first sprinkling of hours, provide (and edit) reviews. However, after this mysterious cutoff, the one thing I can't do is leave a review...
    Mac App Store support have been well-intentioned, but utterly hopeless.
    They started by suggesting I had an 'iTunes error -50', and that I delete / renew my network settings (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1811). I didn't have an iTunes error -50, and the fix didn't work.
    They then suggested that I change my iTunes ID so that it was associated with a new email account. OK, right. Done that. Still no joy.
    They then suggested that I sign out with my iTunes ID, and then sign back in again. Something which I'd already tried repeatedly, with no joy. (I've also tried deauthorising and reauthorising my computer - again with no joy).
    Any other thoughts greatly appreciated...

    Try this....
    In App Store, go to Purchases (top menu). Find the app you want to review, make sure it is marked Installed. Then click on the app from that window. Now try to write a review. This worked for me, but it could also be something I ate.

  • Completely disable or remove the Mac App Store

    Hello,
    I have several Macintosh computers which are on an unmanaged network, however I need to control what applications are installed on these machines without having to dig through Parental Controls on each machine. My question is simple: *how do I go about disabling or removing the Mac App Store from these machines after updating to 10.6.6 properly ?* -- avoiding the update itself isn't a solution as all future updates are likely to have it bundled in as well.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    1. Restricting access to App Store.app via CHMOD in the Terminal - messy and would prefer not to have to go this route.
    2. Trashing App Store.app entirely - seems to reset the "App Store" link in the Apple menu back to "Mac OS X Downloads..." and does almost what I want except when opening unknown file types, the dialog asks you if you want to search the App Store at which point you hit the button and it does nothing. Seems a bit hacky/messy.
    I was hoping there would be some sort of toggle for this via a PLIST or something of the sort instead of resorting to deleting system files etc.
    Cheers,
    John
    Message was edited by: John S.A. - fixed the title.

    If you have a computer lab or some similar environment where this app is inappropriate, just delete it. That's all you have to do. Yes, that means that the Search App Store button won't work when opening an unknown file type, but that's a minor issue that can be explained away easily by just telling people who encounter that issue that the App Store is disabled.
    As to everyone else (not John S.A.) who does not have a good reason to disable it and has some kind of aesthetic or ethical gripe about it... quit the baby-whining! Geez, if you don't like it, you don't have to use it! Delete it or don't, but quit crying about it! You can still purchase and install applications the same way you did before the App Store. Apple is not forcing you to use it, they are not forcing you to enter any personal information.
    I really don't get the whole "you get what the manufacturer wants you to have" nonsense. It is an option. Let's keep some perspective here, folks.
