Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8.  After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8.  The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. 
I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

  • Why does the Apple store carry  iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

    I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

    They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
    I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
    I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

  • Why does the itunes store show the apps I have downloaded Free or the price instead of "downloaded"?

    I have encountered this problem since Christmas. When I open the itunes and want to search the apps I have downloaded, and it keeps showing these apps free or with a price instead of downloaded. However, I have not encountered this problem in my iphone. This problem makes me confused that whether I have downloaded the app if I do not check the "Purchased".
    Like the following one, even though I have downloaded the app, it shows the price to me instead of "downloaded".
    p.s I have logined in to my acct.

  • HT201303 Why does the ITunes store lose my CCV. I have to re-enter it every 5 seconds. Article above was useless.

    Why does ITunes lose my CCV?I have to re-enter it every 5 seconds!

    I have the problem as well. It is NOT a locked account problem.
    The problem is new with the 11.0.3 update and may be related to Mountain Lion (I finally updated).
    If I quit iTunes, restart, and enter the password, it recognizes the password and continues. If I do the password reset routine (I have now created FIVE new passwords since the 11.0.3 update!), it accepts the new password. I suspect it's a poor coding practice inside iTunes, aggrevated by the address space randomisation added in Mountain Lion.

  • I live in South Africa and would like to purchase the song - Shakara by Fela Kuti and its only available in the American store. Why is it not available in the South African or why does the American store prevent me from buying from it?

    Why can't i buy the song Shakara by Fela Kuti from the American store if its not available from the South African store? Why is it not being made available in South Africa? It does not make sense to me, especially from such a top company that is priding itself with improving accessibility.

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell content where the content providers grant them licenses to sell it, so if the record company hasn't granted Apple a license to sell that song in South Africa then Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting that it be added, but it won't be able to happen without the record company's agreement : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    You can also only buy content from your own country's store, you won't be able to buy it from the US store unless you are in the US with a US billing address on your account.

  • Why does the itunes store ask for passwords to different accounts?

    Sometimes when I sign on to buy something at the iTunes store it will ask me for a password to an old.mac account. Then in ther cases it will ask me for a more current account.
    And how do I combine all of the ourchaes from both these accounts into one?

    You can't currently combine accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to authorise its content, re-download it, and/or download updates to its apps.

  • Why does the 13.01 update disable custom extensions?

    Hi, I had a custom extension (a custom panel made with Adobe Configurator) installed that was working fine in CS6 (PC, both 32 and 64 bit versions) but after the update to 13.01, the extension no longer loads. I have tried reinstalling the extension but that  doesn't help. I can no longer select it from the Window > Extensions menu.
    As it was working fine before the 13.01 update, I can only imagine it has something to do with that specific update. Any thoughts on how I can get my panel to work again?

    Hello! Here is a fix from the Configurator team:
    But, if you do not revert it if/when a future update is available for configurator, it might break the update process. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1059632
    To avoid that, one needs to
    1. Save the original template.manifest.xml somewhere and move the original xml file back before updating.
    2. Uninstall Configurator 3.1 and install Configurator 3.1.1 when the new release is ready.
    1. Make sure Configurator 3 is not running.
    2. Replace the file [Configurator 3 Installation Directory]/bundles/PHSP-13/template.manifest.xml with http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/configurator/3.0/manifestTemplate/template .manifest.PSCS6.xml. Make sure the name of the replaced file is still template.manifest.xml, not template.manifest.PSCS6.xml
    3. Replace the file  [Configurator 3 Installation Directory]/bundles/IDSN-08/template.manifest.xml with http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/configurator/3.0/manifestTemplate/template .manifest.IDCS6.xml. Make sure the name of the replaced file is still template.manifest.xml, not template.manifest.IDCS6.xml
    4. Launch Configurator 3, open the gpc file, export the panel as CS extension and install it again to replace the old one.
    Note: The recent update of Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6  does not impact the panel exported via "File->Export Panel", only impact the extension exported via "File->Export Panel as CS Extension".

  • Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

    iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does the iTunes store no longer sell any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies at all?

    All I saw was that there were two Pokémon anime movies available at the iTunes store:
    Pokémon: The First Movie
    Pokémon: The Movie 3
    But sadly, now they're gone, and then there is currently no longer any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies available at the iTunes Store at all. But just want to know all about the reason there isn't.

    Apple can only sell what they are granted licenses to sell - if the content providers haven't granted them, or have decided to remove their items from the store (which the occasionally do), then Apple can't sell them. You can try requesting that items be added to the store, but you might be better off contacting the providers (film studio, tv company) and asking them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT5030 Since the update why does the itunes store freeze on the ipad 2

    Can anyone let me know when this is going to be fixed ok it saves me money buying tunes but its not right.
    Thank you in advance

    Start by making sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
    Check this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    If it's what you're seeing, you can try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
    1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
    2. Enter the following command: 
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note:  If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • Why does the retail store only carry 5400rpm drives in mbp 17?

    Just wondering why the stores carry the mbp 17's but only with a 5400rpm drive? I realize I can order it and change the drive options, but if they carried more options IN store they would sell more (I think at least).
    A 7200 rpm drive option @ 500gb in the store vs only online would have helped push me to buy in store today, and in general for something that is going to be high end and well over 2.5K base a 7200rpm drive doesn't seem to much to ask for as a base in store stocked item - just sayin'

    Understandable. Also consider that the HD is very easy to swap; I strongly suspect they'd do it for you right on the spot in the store, but then again you'd have to buy the 7200 from them. I don't know that I've ever heard of anyone just being able to pay the difference in the store, let them swap the drives and keep the still-new 5400; I doubt they'd go for it, but wouldn't hurt to ask if it's important to you.

  • Why does the latest flash update automatically install Mcafee?

    Just wondering why I can't opt out of installing unwanted software when updating flash player?
    For reference:
    - I turned on my computer and was faced with a regular looking flash player box that stated an update was available.
    - I clicked the "update" button and was taken to the following page: https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_13_for_Other_Browsers& os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&a=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox _Browser&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=28 (yes it mentions Mcafee in the address, but only the address. No warning whatsoever on the actual webpage. I wasn't aware that it would automatically install Mcafee without asking).
    - I saved the update, then ran it (there were no checkboxes at all to opt out of Mcafee, it just installed it).
    Not particularly happy at having unwanted software installed with no real warning, and no opt out available.

    This has been an ongoing thing. There is an updater that blindly installs McAfee and another that installs Google Chrome and Toolbar. People have been complaining about it for years, and it doesn't change, and it won't change.
    I'm not being condescending, and I'm not trying to lecture you on this. I'm just stating the facts. If there had been any intent on anyone's part to do something about it, posts like this wouldn't pop up here every month and a half, like clockwork.
