About Mac App Store?

I Have an Application on My Computer that I Use it's Called Pixelmator & I Bought it on The Mac App Store a few month's ago when they 1st released The Apple Mac App Store & now Pixelmator needs an Update cause it say's it in The Mac App Store but when I Go to Update it, it say's that i should try again, there is an error, message comes on is what i mean so i go to search it in The Mac App Store & i'm not able to find it? I Think they Removed it from The Mac App Store, can they do that? Pixelmator does have an Update cause it say's it in MacUpdate probably The Update to be Lion Compadible? but right now it's hard to update it cause MacUpdate only leads me to The Mac App Store cause it has The Apple Logo, so is Pixelmator really Removed from The Mac App Store? are they allowed to delete software on there if they wanted to? & why would they? & is it a bad thing to ask this question cause of the fact that maybe there are Rules & Policy's on The Mac App Store that I Don't know about that I Don't see? what should I Do?

Well, yes, there are rules for the App Store and yes, they can stop offering something or if they offer a newer version, your old one won't update because they won't offer it any more. There is a downside to using the app store: stuff is only available as long as it is showing there.
So, I just did a search there and you are right: there are no results. So, the only thing I can think of is for you to go to the website of Pixelmator and ask them about it.

  • About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

    Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

    #1 When Will Apple ever Update Apple Mac App Store? cause it's starting to look like it's getting old even though it's working great but i think there needs to be an Update on Apple Mac App Store, they should make it look more like Apple iTunes in the Very end, that would be a good idea.

  • How do I complain about a broken app sold in the Mac app store?

    I bought Viewfinder from Connected Flow Ltd originally from their website. It stopped working under Mountain Lion which hindered my usual workflow.
    I was excited to see that it was availalbe on the App Store and subsequently bought it again (some AUD$20 worth) because I figured it must be compatible if it was being sold. The version I have is 1.1.1(41) and it's totally useless full lock and freeze EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
    The app is no longer in the app store and the vendor is non responsive to all inquiries.
    Can someone please advise what the process is for recovering my money for goods that aren't fit for sale?
    Cheers,
    Stuart.

    I would be pretty upset about this too.

  • About The Mac App Store?

    About The Mac App Store? is it doing well in Business, like do a lot of people go on it & buy & download Free Apps? cause I Worry what if it will be like if we had no Mac App Store like we used to? then I Would never be able to really find anything good if Apple did not come up with Something Papular to find Games Apps & other apps, I Go on Mac App Store & i look at Reviews but it is not up to today's date, very few of them have up to today's dat Reviews & Some don't even have any Reviews & some only have 1 Review in there that is up to date, it looks like Apple Mac App Store is Dead? or there just not Accepting Reviews?, so is The Mac App Store doing well? or is it ready to go out of Business? I Love The Mac App Store, I do buy things on there, last thing I Bought was FlatOut 2 & I Left a Review, if there was No Mac App Store then it will be Hard to find App's, they made The Mac App Store to find Apps more easy if we go back the other way then it would be hard to find Apps & that would suck, like it used to, we had to go through a Whole List to find something, that was the old way around I do have a Suggestion, I think they should make the Mac App Store for PC Microsoft Computers & name it The PC App Store even though i'll never go back to Microsoft PC Computers, i'm sticking with Apple iMac Computers from now on, so what are your Opinion on The Mac App Store? I Never have any trouble at all on My 2009 24inch Apple iMac computer, all The Apps that I Buy on The Mac App Store work Excellent  on My Machine & The Mac App Store works Excellent as well, I buy a lot of Car Racing Games on The Mac App Store & Some other Apps I Buy on The Mac App Store are not all Up To Date, I check MacUpdate they say a New version is Available but The Mac App Store has the low version on some Apps, I see there falling behind on some things, so what's your opinion on The Mac App Store? & they don't Update there Twitter page often? but I see there still putting New Apps on The Mac App Store every day, I Hope things don't go back the old way again? just wondering what will happen in the future for The Mac App Store?

  • How about a "Show Incompatible App Updates" option same as in the Mac App Store?

    How about a “Show Incompatible App Updates” option same as in the Mac App Store?
    I want un-installable app updates from being displayed in Updates.  These updates require iOS 6.0 or later and cannot be installed on my original iPad that still runs 5.1.1 and cannot use 6.0.

    We are not employees or representatives of Apple. We are just users like yourself. Your idea does seem interesting though. Send feed back to Apple here

  • Mac App Store Non-Commercial users only? What about Lion for businesses?

    When I read the Mac App Store agreement it indicates that the accounts are for 'non commercial' use. I supposed this was to stop companies purchasing an app and using 5 times at no extra cost.
    If we want to download and install the Lion update on our company Macs how are we supposed to do this? The same goes for the Server component.
    Further, I have used my own personal account to use a program in the office that I had purchased at home for playing quick games at lunch time, or for free apps like Twitter. Will these stop working if I have to create a company wide account just for Lion downloads?
    Lastly, our internet connection speed is very poor due to our geographic location. Will we need to download Lion separately for each computer?
    Sorry if Lion questions are a bit premature, but I'm trying to plan ahead.

    Apple is not actually here, just fellow Apple product users. Those business questions are probably best dealt with in a telephone call directly to Apple, either Apple HQ in Cupertino, CA, or at least the closest Apple Store.
    Your games are for you to freely install on computers that you own and control personally. That would seem to include a company computer issued to you. What you should not do is start installing the games and apps on the computers of your colleagues. And you should remove the games and apps when you return the computer to your business.
    You should be able to mix both company purchased software and your personal software while the computer is in your control, just remember that software can only be updated by the account through which it was purchased. So you would need to sign into your personal account to update your personal software on your company computer in your control.
    The software that comes through the MAS at this point is the drag & drop variety, the kind that has normally come on a disk or you download a disc image and drag the app to your Applications folder. With the MAS the software is downloaded and placed in the Apps folder for you. These apps can be copied to the other computers you own or have in your control. You do not need to download them to each computer, although you may do that as well.
    Apple has pretty much reserved more complicated installations for itself. Xcode downloaded as an Installer into the Applications folder. Lion will also come as an installer. The Installer does not have to be downloaded to each Mac, it can be copied to them over your local LAN or direct Ethernet or FireWire cable connections. Or burn to a disk. Then the Installer can be run to install Lion on each Mac. Based on your direct conversation with Apple regarding obtaining Lion for your business, you may also be able to create a common installation of Lion that you then clone to all of your company computers.

  • Mac App Store acting strangely for about a month now

    I have snow leopard and when I go into the Mac App store, and click on "Categories", I then cannot click on headings such as "Productivity" or "Games". But I can click on the items under those headings. When I say "cannot click" I mean that when I click on the heading, it blinks as though I did click on it, but then it goes nowhere, just stays at that main category screen. It does it for every catergory heading. Everything else working fine with my system. I have 10.6.8, imac 21.5. I also have a macbook air that I have upgraded to mountain lion and it works fine on that machine. Not sure what is going on, such an odd problem to have. Sure does slow me down from buying on the mac app store, that's for sure, hmmm, maybe this is a good thing LOL. Seriously though, 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.
    It's not just you and your kit, it is behaving that way for me as well in Mountain Lion. So I surmise it is doing that for everyone.

  • About Apple ID and Mac App Store Purchases...

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could give me some assistance for this question. Ok here's the situation, I want to use iCloud in my Mac however, I can't use it because it requires my Apple ID to be in an e-mail format (i.e. "[email protected]"), and my ID is in user name format (i.e. "deltaforce"). I know that you can change your ID into email format by logging into appleid.apple.com. the problem that I have is that I have made multiple Mac App Stores purchases and I don't want to lose them if I update the ID. I was wondering if the Mac App Store will still recognize me as the owner of my apps under the new ID.
    Thanks for any assistance on this matter...
    Happy Holidays!

    I have now spent many hours on this APPLE ID issue and still no luck from apple.   I paid for an Apple ID for 10 Years with my .mac account which did not have the  email address format.   So now I bought an IPAD and had to convert to the email address format - OK no problem except all the APPS and Music purchased under my original ID ar NO LONGER linked to my @mac.com  address.   Where did they go?  I have 3 other macs trying to sync and now nothing works!   Type  " apple ID issues" into Google ( Google - not the apple support search window) and the first thing that comes up is many people with the same issue -  click on the "Apple ID verification problem" and you will see over 6000 people have used this trail to figure out what happened to their Apple ID.   Come on APPLE - Read you own posts and help us.   I did not change my account you did.   I am a loyal 30 year apple fan and this is the most PC thing you have ever done.  The apple Experts at the store are telling me I have to pay for tech support help to fix your server issues - - Come on!!!  That would not work anyway - - Just read all the people who have tried at this link and you will see that many people have this issue and the tech support does not know how to fix it.

  • Unable to login in to Mac App Store using valid account.

    I recently inherited a spare MacBook Air from my wife (who got a new one). I deleted her user account, and set up a new admin user account for me. The machine is running 10.7.5.
    Now, I am absolutely unable to login to the App Store. I am using my valid Apple ID -- for example, the same Apple ID that I used to gain access to this very forum. System Preferences accepts my ID. iTunes accepts my ID. BUT the App Store will aboslutely NOT respond. It will not load. I get the red "connection failed" alert, and then after several tries it doesn't respond at all.
    It doesn't give any option to switch users -- perhaps once the original owner has used the App Store, the computer will never again allow anyone else to use it? It doesn't say that there is another user logged in. There appears to be no way of deleting and reinastalling the App Store. There is no cache file I can find to be cleared. There is no preference option. There is no information. There appears to be no way of fixing this at all, short of wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system. Is that what I have to do? WHY IS THIS SO HORRIBLY DESIGNED? And why is there no support short of the forum? I hate this about Apple (despite being a long-time Apple evangelist and OSX devotee).
    Thanks.

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

  • Mac App Store does nothing when I click download on any App

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), OS X: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Hello,
    my problem is that when I am in the Mac App Store and click download on any App or on the new OS X Yosemite (which is why I am opening this thread) nothing happens.
    The font turns grey indicating that I clicked the button, but after that... nothing. I don't even get an error message telling me what's wrong.
    And when I go to another Tab in the Store like from "Updates" to "Highlights" and then back to Updates it shows the button as if I didn't click it in the first place.
    Images (english is not my main language):
    What I did is search for hours what could be wrong. What I tried was:
    - Log Out and start the application again, then log back in
    - Try downloading with another Apple-ID
    - Start the MacBook in Safe-Mode
    - Several restarts of the MB itself
    - Repair the rights to the volume (this one is tricky for me to explain: something like the HardDrive Managing Program)
    Those are the things I can remember.
    Other information that might be useful:
    - I have a stable WiFi Connection and no VPN or similar in use
    - Except from Google Chrome I didn't install anything as I got the MB a few days ago where it was as if it was used the first time
    I hope you can help me as I am really desperate getting this to work.

    I am running OX YS X YOSEMITE 10.10.3 with a macbook pro 13" and have this same problem: App store shows there are apps to update. I click update (either just one or all), and they mac shows the update button greyed out, as if i had pressed "UPDATE". For hours on end, nothing happens. NOTHING! I've restarted the mac, which is about as much as i know. Please help me solve this issue, as i'm using Pages and numbers apps and feel like they are stuck in apple limbo/**** without the new update. Hoping to get this resolved soon.

  • Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I could add my existing, licensed apps to the list of app 'Purchases' that I have on the Mac App Store.
    The reason for this is that I recently suffered the inevitable hard disk failure and I had to rebuild my MacBook Pro from scratch (with the help of Time Machine and Migration Assistant, etc.). As usual, I hadn't really maintained my MBP for quite a while and things sort of got away from me, in terms of data, apps, preferences, permissions, users (my personal account, my wife's account, my old work account...), etc.
    So I wanted to rebuild my MBP on a clean slate. I like having the ability to quickly download and install just the right apps that I "really" need from MAS safe in the knowledge that:
    they are there (assuming they're still available through MAS) with a full description of what they do and when I bought them, etc.
    they are going to be in the most up-to-date version,
    I'll be able to download and install them cleanly with no corruption from years of multiple user preference changes and permissions, etc.
    that they will be managed and maintained (updated) through the same mechanism,
    so much more.
    The benefits of having apps from MAS are easy to see when compared to going through my downloads folder and emails looking for the latest installers, working out what they're for in the first place, finding the license key in some forgotten e-mail, etc.
    I am aware that I can build a clean machine and then restore just the right apps in their most up-to-date version as I had them on my backups.  The one thing to say about that is that the apps may have been used and abused once too many times and their preferences, etc. may not be in the most desirable form. It's just not as elegant as the MAS solution.
    I realise that not all apps, app versions, or app vendors, are available through MAS. But I still have a fair few apps currently available on MAS that were bought prior to the existence of MAS, prior to them becoming available on MAS, or were bought directly for some other reason (by mistake).
    So I wondered if there was any way I could convert my legitimate licenses from simply a direct purchase to one through MAS and have those apps listed under my 'Purchases' list. It would reduce the amount of work I'd have to do, not only to rebuild my machine but also to maintain it.
    I cannot find any reference or way of having this work the way I would like it to. But I was hoping that some Apple guru would enlighten me.
    I have thought about the possible mechanisms something like this would need to work and I must admit I see some not insurmountable issues (not as much technical as legal or possibly logistical). I realise that MAS is a service in its own right and as such has its own Terms, Conditions and Licensing that may not be compatible with the licenses that I already have. I also realise that when I purchase an app from MAS that I'm paying for the entire service including updates and use on multiple machines that I may own, etc. Obviously I do not want to pay the full purchase cost again for the same app twice, but I am willing to pay a small conversion/upgrade fee to have it managed as part of my 'Purchases' on MAS.  Think of it in the same terms as iTunes works.  I can purchase music, etc. but I can also add my own CD collection and have it managed by iTunes and store it in the cloud should anything go wrong with my local machine, etc.
    So if this is currently not possible, then for the Apple MAS product managers out there, consider this as a suggestion/feedback.  I'd be happy to discuss my thoughts in more detail about not only how to achieve this for now but also for the future when you may add existing applications to MAS that people may have previously bought direct and would like to have managed through MAS going forward. The benefits to the users are hopefully clear, but from Apple's perspective I hope that you can see the advantages too, commercially, etc.
    PS: I apologise for the wordiness of my query and overuse of 'etc.', etc.

    Can I add my existing, licensed apps to my list of 'Purchases' on the Mac App Store so I don't have to buy them twice?
    No. Only apps purchased from the App Store can be re downloaded for free including updates.

    Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers.  When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it.  When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3".  Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Mac App Store updating apps on _other_ drive :-(

    A little background first - wanted to not just jump right in in upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.0), so I got (same brand) external USB HD, formatted it, installed Mountain Lion on that. (With some assistance from Apple Support...) I have moved most all my apps and documents over to the (external) ML drive (500GB). Also have many apps bought through MAS and installed on the ML-500 external drive. When I want to use ML, I boot up from it; other times, I will boot up with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on the internal drive (320GB) to use a few apps where I haven't had all their docs transmogrified to 10.8-compatible apps. Most of the time now, things have been workable and fine.
    In the past couple of days, I have discovered that apparently when I had logged into the MAS to update my ML-compatible apps, the MAS (unbeknown to me) updated the older (10.6.8-compatible) apps I had there, including iWork '08 (which had been updated as far as 10.6.8 updates would take them).
    So now, it appears (since version numbers are the same for the Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps between the two OS drives) that I have (non-10.6.8-compatible) apps on the Snow Leopard (internal) drive, that won't run when I start up with 10.6.8. The icons on the 10.6.8 drive for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote (which were inside an iWork '08 folder, inside the Applications folder, on the internal/10.6.8 drive) have the 'not' circle and line across them when I view them running from the Mac OS X 10.6.8 (internal) drive. Haven't checked other MAS-downloaded 10.6-compatible purchased apps, so there may be more 'over-updated' apps...
    I know that I have my original iWork '08 DVD (and likely, can go back through my Time Machine backups to try to find my latest versions under 10.6.8) and can re-install (and then install all the updates since then under 10.6.8) to get them back, but I would think  - since OS X install discs check a drive for the system version number before installing - that MAS would be setup to FIRST check what the OS X version for a drive with Pages/Numbers/Keynote/other Apple non-system apps, before installing a version over an app (that renders it useless for that version of OS X).
    Even though I can possibly (with much time/updates/re-installs) get my earlier apps back on the internal drive, my concern is - how can I stop MAS from once again 'over-updating' those apps? If the MAS can check and tell me that an app I want to download requires 10.7 or 10.8, it would seem to make equal sense for it to check first whether I have (on different drives) 10.6.8 and 10.8 versions of the same app, and ONLY update the most recent one, NOT all of them.
    Makes me wonder if Apple thinks that NO ONE out here is running separate partitions or drives with different operating systems for different app needs. I am very sure that there are specfic-market applications out there that companies, laboratories and others need to get tasks done (and for which there is not yet so far a Lion or Mountain Lion-compatible version), so those people/companies/etc. are likely running different OS partitions or startup drives. So WHY does the MAS not check first? Or more importantly, is there some way to stop/limit the updates so ONLY one drive gets updated?

    Hello Dahveed, thank you for your answer but this is not good at all. These are not core applications. For instance i want all my games to be on external Hard drive (for instance X3 is about 8 Gb). For having my home folder on external HD this is not good at all too.
    Why i should change my way to work and manage my files just for a logical problem ?
    Furthermore, the Mac App Store app detects i have the application already installed even if it is on external HD, so there are only 2 solutions : there is a bug into the mac app store application for managing apps OR this is pretty bad for users to have the apps sequestrated into the home folder.
    You can see even iTunes with the music rights management system is able to let you have musics managed by user.
    Do you have another solution ?
    Thank you
