App Store and dock not letting go

Hi all,
Each time that I boot up, the app store appears in the dock even though I remove it each time by dragging and letting go and the "spoof". What do I do if I don't wanna see it in the dock each time?

Hi ...
Apps that run on the Mac OS X cannot run on an iOS based device for apps purchased from iTunes Store and vice versa. Two different operating systems.

    Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

  • App Store and Updates not loading in Mavericks

    Hi there,
    Upgraded my imac to Mavericks and all was well.  Then there were some updates for my Aperture, iPhoto and iMovie (all previously purchased as full copies).  Something went wrong to my internet connection during the updates and the app store repeatedly asked for my Id and password, which I entered.
    The downloads finally completed and the apps seem to work ok.
    The problem arose when i went back to the app store and it would not open the application.  The toolbar for the app store appears but the appstore software doesnt.  No can not log in to app store to check updates and will not allow to check for updates from the Software Update option at the Apple logo.

    If you continue to have problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • App store and Safari not working after Time Machine restore to new hardware.

    I just had to install a new hard drive to my mid 2010 imac.  I restored with time machine.  I cannot find the original OS disc.  Upon restoring it appears there is a problem with the webkit framework as Safari, App store, and Skype all freeze upon clicking on them and after bouncing, they never open.  Chrome is working.  What do I do?

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • App Store and others Not Responding in Mountain Lion

    Since updating to Mountain Lion - from what was a clean and fine Lion system - I can no longer access the App Store, the Security and Prvacy tab of System Preferences (and ONLY that panel) plus other native Apple apps fail like trying to edit a contact in Address Book.
    All end in a 'Not Responding' and thus a force quit.
    Other apps basically work. Mail - for example - works until I try and copy and paste an email address when thr spinning parasol takes over.
    So far - for me - Mountain Lion is proving a disaster and I am hoping this is a some simple setting buried deep somewhere that is just not right.
    Can anyone give me any clues where to look before I throw my MacBook pro into the fishpond out of sheer frustration! ?

    Andy,
    Sorry this is so long...just trying to help and support your efforts. I for one am not convinced your install was damaged (because of my experience below!) but it COULD be. I think mende1's suggestions were a good start.
    Not knowing what MBP model and previous OS you have it's difficult to say at this point exactly WHAT the issue is with your upgrade. I have heard the upgrades to Lion and Mtn Lion from anything previous can be problematic, depending on various things and/or how it is done. But usually, the older the MBP model and OS are (or any other Mac for that matter, assuming it CAN be upgraded of course), the more issues there can be.
    However, I CAN tell you that I JUST discovered TWO significant bugs in the SysPrefs on a BRAND NEW MBP 2.6Hz, Mid-2012 I received last week, with pre-installed Mnt Lion 10.8 and NO other non-native software installed yet. And sure enough...I JUST returned from the Apple Store where I was able to reproduce the bugs on ALL their computer models, ALL of which were using the 10.8 OS (...and which I am about to report to Apple, but only AFTER replying here first, as I had intended and wanted to do last night, except that I FIRST needed to confirm if they were reproducible and legit at the store, which they are).  So you may have discovered additional new bugs (or not), but obviously you won't know until or unless you do additional testing (ugh - I know!).
    I would say your issues are a possible combo of the age of your MBP, the upgrade, and POSSIBLY other bugs in 10.8 that are as yet unknown. Only additional testing and time will tell for sure. At the very least I would back everything up, do a complete wipe via Disk Utility (for good measure) and reinstall 10.8 clean to help rule out possible "upgrade" issues (ie, over a previous OS), then go from there.
    I also miss the good ol'  DVD days as well and am not a fan of the new install paradigm with much less control over various parameters. Not to mention the fact is REQUIRES an internet connection. But here we are. (What if I'm in the middle of Borneo when my Mac goes down without an internet connection??! LOL...but seriously.)
    Regardless, and for what it's worth, here are the two new SysPref bugs I just discovered in 10.8 and was able to confirm at the Apple Store. As far as I know they are as yet unknown and do not appear anywhere else on this forum. Furthermore, the functions described below work perfectly in 10.6.X and 10.7.X OS (I have another Mid-2007 MBP with 10.6.8 and a 2011 iMac running 10.7.4 for comparison).
    Bug 1- Desktop OS contextual menu does not function properly under certain circumstances. Right-click on desktop and select Change Desktop Background. If you're lucky the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window opens. If it DOES, quit and repeat. The second time it will NOT open - despite the fact SysPrefs actually IS activated (ie, upon the second attempt, assuming it opened the first time and you quit/closed it, the SysPrefs icon bounces in the dock and displays the white orb beneath - indicating it is active - however, the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window DOES NOT OPEN/APPEAR). In other words, it is open but HIDDEN (bug no.1).
    At this point, repeat the selection above again OR...Command-Tab over to the open but hidden SysPrefs icon and voila - the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window finally APPEARS. Now, quit SysPrefs, and repeat the selection above a THIRD time. Again, the SysPrefs icon bounces but nothing appears. Repeat the selection above again OR Command-Tab over to it's icon and voila - the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window now APPEARS.
    Needless to say, the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window should ALWAYS open immediately (using the right-click contextual menu selection process above) the FIRST and every time thereafter. But it doesn't in 10.8. Also note that ONLY THE FIRST TIME this is attempted AFTER Restarting the computer OR logging out/in will the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window appear. Thereafter, it will not - as described above.
    Bug 2 - Added folders to the Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window do not stay put. Open the SysPrefs Desktop & Screen Saver dialogue window (opening process doesn't matter) and ADD at least 2-3 other folders to the Folder section below using the + button (regardless of whether or not they contain pictures, for demonstration purposes only). This function obviously allows one to specify NUMEROUS OTHER folders that contain pictures to be used as possible desktop backgrounds, in addition to the default Pictures folder that is there, and the default pics Apple provides above. Now, note the LAST folder that is added to the group of folders (regardless of how many were added) that now appear under Folders. Close/quit SysPrefs. Re-open the Desktop & Screen Savers window again and note that only the LAST folder that was added now resides under Folders and all others, except the defaults, have disappeared (bug no.2).
    Not sure if this will be much help Andy but wanted you to know you are not alone and it may not all be you! So much more to say but good luck getting this resolved. It took me forever to figure this out and the full story is so much longer, but I will spare you the boring details. Suffice to say, only trial and error will get you closer to an answer, as frustrating that process can be, but I would start with a clean install and take it from there (despite the transition hassle that route obviously presents - argh!). Hang in there and please let me/us know how it goes.

  • I recently purchased U2 Any DVD Ripper on Mac App Store and can not get it to work!  Help!!

    I can not find any documentation on how to use this software.  I can not figure out how to get it to copy a DVD to Mp4 format on my media hard drive, allowing me to watch the video on my apple tv.  Please help or direct me to get a refund for this $14.99 purchase. 

    Did you reset your PRAM?
    command-option- p-r
    Hold down all four keys as the mac starts up and wait for the chimes to ring twice. Then let the machine start up as usual.
    If it works be sure to check your date and time settings (the system will tell you)
    You can also start up from your system disk holding down the c key as it starts-- go past the language screen and open disk utilities from the menu bar run disk repair and then repair permissions. Set your startup disk to your new drive.
    Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

  • App switcher and dock not switching spaces for application

    The app switcher occassionally stops switching spaces to bring up the application. When this happens clicking on the dock icon doesn't work to switch spaces either. A logout and log back in are needed for the functionality to return.

    Because my dock's already too full with apps that are even more frequently used. Using the app switcher became part of my workflow long ago, and I'm sorry to lose it.

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • On restart Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on Dock

    I have installed Mountain Lion and loving most of the features.
    I am using the five finger pinch shortcut on the trackpad to get to the Dashboard.
    Its a great feature so now I have deleted all my apps on the dock.
    Instead I have put my many folders on the dock.
    However, on restart of my macbook pro the Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on dock
    Is there a way I can switch this annoying push to have to use Apple apps on the dock?

    I noticed it sometimes happened when I am on Lion.
    I don't use all the Apple software, and some never even opened them to use.
    But they end up back on my dock again which is super annoying.
